Sooo, Belle, you're wondering, why so much with the not blogging? What are you up to anyway? Short answer: reading blogs and lying by the pool. No, wait, I have a business! Called Like That One. We've moved on from our early teething stages and have a real-ish store (it's in a light industry building, and we do work on the premises, so technically we have open studio hours Saturday and Sunday 1-7 and Wednesday 1-8.) If you check out the flickr site you can see we even have a legit signboard, made for us in China via the courtesy of our friend Kirby. Plus, I have a cool new house, which is awesome.
Relaxing!
Stairway of our black and white house
Kitchen.
I rent this place as a co-tenant, to be clear. I couldn't afford to buy this place in a million years, and anyway the black-and-whites almost exclusively belong to the government and are run by PREMAS.

Yeah, I was about to say, black-and-white houses in Singapore...? Fairly premium, this category of housing, I am led to understand.
I didn't know they belonged to the gov't. I thought a number of foreign ambassadors lived in them?
Interestingly, the kitchen seems to Art Deco, while the staircase area seems to be Art & Crafts. I am guessing early 20's vintage?

the kitchen was redone fairly recently. It had been a bedroom on the ground floor with a "wet" kitchen outside, i.e. sheltered but not really inside the house, as was traditional.

I wish you were selling this stuff in the bay area, I totally lust after that phone bench. Not that I could probably afford it, but still.

Actually our prices are pretty good! But not so much with the shipment to the US.
