Life of two weeks in Margaret River region, with two little ones and at a very slow pace. It almost felt like we were living there, instead of being just tourists. The weather was a treat, crisp air and bright sun. As soon as Olivia woke up she’d run out in her pajamas. All of us managed to have a really relaxing and wind-down time, which wasn’t expected at all (since it’s our first trip with both kids). I’m on a four-month sabbatical, as an extension of maternity leave. For the first time in life I feel that I have time, time that can be spent slowly. And that, I realize now, is the biggest luxury in life. #familytrip #travel #travelvlog #australia #margaretriver #family #momlife #travelwithkids #theshophouseodyssey

And now we are five! (It was too hard to get a toddler, a baby and a 🐶 all into one picture, we tried) They say second time is easier, and it’s true. I’m less anxious, less worried, less guilty, and less exhausted. I know that I’m giving the children the best I can, and that’s enough. I’m taking a long maternity leave this time so that I can spend real quality time with both kids and at the same to fully recover, not only the body but also the mind. Dare I say that I’ve found happiness in “not doing much”? I will keep you updated. 📷 @katiemsperryphotography #family #familytime #familyphotography #theshophouseodyssey #shophouse #shophousesg #shophousesingapore #shophouselife #shophousedesign #interiorblogger #sghomes #sghomedecor #sgrenovation #sginteriors #sginteriordesign #sghouse #homeanddecorsg #interiordesignsg #sglifestyle #sglife #mediterraneanhome #mediterraneanstyle #modernfarmhouse #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #homedecor #housedecor

Sharing a piece of work from @jonathanwateridgestudio I collected years ago, since Singapore’s art week is ongoing. I’ve spent the last two days in @art.sg - chatting to galleries, built knowledge about arts and artists, and more importantly, to train the eyes. I find art fairs the most efficient way to see quality art at one go, if you want to buy art but don’t know where to start. You develop your taste through seeing, some research/homework/talking to experts, and more seeing over time. But tastes do change. I bought art in the past that I don’t even want to look at anymore. Unfortunately that’s a learning journey and we evolve that way. Is art important for interior decoration? Absolutely. When I look at an interior picture these days, art is the first thing I look at. It’s often the focal point of a room. It delivers the unique identity of the owner and consequently makes the interior unique. I see too much copy and paste interior design and the house says nothing about the uniqueness of the person who owns the space. And art can make a whole lot of difference, no matter what the budget is. Enjoy finding your art! 📷 @lottieisloving . . . #art #artsg #theshophouseodyssey #shophouse #shophousesg #shophousesingapore #shophouselife #shophousedesign #interiorblogger #sghomes #sghomedecor #sgrenovation #sginteriors #sginteriordesign #sghouse #homeanddecorsg #interiordesignsg #sglifestyle #sglife #mediterraneanhome #mediterraneanstyle #modernfarmhouse #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #homedecor #housedecor

Sometimes we forget how a city grown child wants and needs to be near nature. She wants to touch the animals, the soil. She picks a ripe tomato from the vine and immediately puts into her mouth. She gently puts her ahead against a goat - the pure hearts are immediately connected. @lodgeinthewoods thank you for showing us how to love and how to care. Take care of the animals, the trees, and yourselves. We will be back.

Compassionate, sweet, caring, funny, strong-minded and good-natured. From the moment we held you in our arms, you have been softening our hearts. Everyday you fill our life with laughters and joy. Everyday we thank you for choosing us to love you. We wish that you will always be yourself, to laugh, to love, and to be free. Happy birthday Olivia.

Two wonderful weeks in Bali, celebrating husband's big 40th birthday. 🎂 🎉 We also announced to our family that Olivia is going to have a little brother. 👶☺️ Olivia had learned to point to my belly and say "baby" and that's so sweet. 🥰 Family is growing!

The courtyard garden has a new look! I loved the previous palm trees look which gave the house an oasis vibe. However the trees haven't done very well in an environment lacking direct sunshine and airflow, they started turning brown. And I was getting a bit tired of the look after a while. I always liked the look of draco. They are each unique in shape, a bit muscular, beautiful and dangerous, just like a dragon. So this time I designed the garden centering a draco together with my landscaper. It's interesting how the new look of the garden brought completely new vibe to the house, and a lot of liveliness. See you in the new garden. ✨ . . . #theshophouseodyssey #shophouse #shophousesg #shophousesingapore #shophouselife #shophousedesign #interiorblogger #sghomes #sghomedecor #sgrenovation #sginteriors #sginteriordesign #sghouse #homeanddecorsg #interiordesignsg #sglifestyle #sglife #mediterraneanhome #mediterraneanstyle #modernfarmhouse #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #homedecor #housedecor #courtyardgarden #courtyarddesign

It's the festive time of the year. When hosting gatherings, from the conventional to the crazy, I always love the touch of sublime brought by the sparkle of silverware. @christofle , since founded in Paris in 1830, has been a symbol of the "Art of Living". The Parisian silversmith creates luxury and elegant designs for the table and relies heavily on the traditional techniques of French High Craftsmen. Challenging the traditional codes of tableware, Christofle designs MOOD Asia - including chopsticks and chopstick rests in its set. A touch of luxury to the Asian table? Oh yes! Visit @christofle_sg boutiques in Marina Bay Sands and Takashimaya to experience the elegant designs in person. Even better? You can redeem a free moleskin notebook in-store by showing this post. ✨ #Christofle #ChristofleSG #MOODAsia #AD #tablesetting #theshophouseodyssey #shophouse #shophousesg #shophousesingapore #shophouselife #shophousedesign #interiorblogger #sghomes #sghomedecor #sgrenovation #sginteriors #sginteriordesign #sghouse #homeanddecorsg #interiordesignsg #sglifestyle #sglife #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #homedecor #housedecor

One year of being parents. ❤️ People ask me how I feel being a parent, I feel that it's the best thing happened in my life. There isn't a day I don't feel so grateful to have this sparkling little bud. I start to relive a life all over again, seeing everything through her eyes, and get amazed altogether. Being parents is not an easy job though. We are thankful for all the help and support we got from family, friends, work, and all the good books we read! We learned about gentle parenting and we try to practise. After all, it's a journey of adventure together, and let's make most fun out of it. . . . . #family #baby #singaporelife #theshophouseodyssey #shophouse #shophousesg #shophousesingapore #shophouselife #shophousedesign #interiorblogger #sghomes #sghomedecor #sgrenovation #sginteriors #sginteriordesign #sghouse #homeanddecorsg #interiordesignsg #sglifestyle #sglife #mediterraneanhome #mediterraneanstyle #modernfarmhouse #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #homedecor #housedecor

Back from Bali to home. We've truly enjoyed the amazing weather in Bali and Olivia was playing outside all day long. I've always struggled a bit to find outdoor space that's not too hot in Singapore for young kids to play at. Parents, any tips on places to spend time with your kiddos please? 😍 . . . #theshophouseodyssey #shophouse #shophousesg #shophousesingapore #shophouselife #shophousedesign #interiorblogger #sghomes #sghomedecor #sgrenovation #sginteriors #sginteriordesign #sghouse #homeanddecorsg #interiordesignsg #sglifestyle #sglife #mediterraneanhome #mediterraneanstyle #modernfarmhouse #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #homedecor #housedecor
