I love my home because...
It reflects who I am.
My decor theme is...
Asian and industrial. I chose this theme because it is a nice blend of Asian values and taste, on one hand, and contemporary and raw beauty, on the other.
My favourite corner is...
The living room because it is the most relaxing area. It is comfortable and therapeutic. I spend a lot of time reading, watching TV and just unwinding after a hard day's work.
I'm most proud of...
The bar because I built it myself. I work on my laptop by the bar almost every night. We occasionally have friends over to chill out by the bar as well.
Will I sell it?
Yes, when there is a good offer.
