Choosing Ark Racks Shelves for our Bombshelter

Saturday, 25 January 2025


Still thinking whether you should get a shelving rack for your bombshelter? It was a very clear decision that we needed storage space in our bombshelter, cause else where would all the luggages, strollers, and things that we buy in bulk go?

Buying your first home is exciting, right? Picking out paint colors, furniture, appliances... it's all a dream! But let me tell you, amidst all that excitement, there are a few hidden landmines. And one of them, surprisingly, turned out to be curtains and blinds.

My husband and I, like many new homeowners, thought choosing curtains would be a breeze. "Just pick something that matches the walls and call it a day," we thought. Oh, how wrong we were! Turns out, there's a whole world of curtain knowledge we were clueless about. Day curtains vs. night curtains? Ripple fold vs. pleated? Opacity of the curtains? It was enough to make our heads spin.

Thankfully, we stumbled upon coesa (formerly End Curtain), and they completely saved us from a potential curtain nightmare.

The Ultimate Guide to Regrouting Your Home with Epoxy Grout

Saturday, 5 October 2024


Let's be honest – the default grout in our BTO wasn't fantastic. Nobody loves scrubbing grouts (at least, not me) and the thought of scrubbing those grimy lines for years to come, or seeing ants crawl from grout cracks, filled us with dread. So, we made a decision that has transformed our home - we regrouted every single tile with Grout ProTech. It's one of the best renovation choices we have made!

Epoxy grouting is waterproof, stain-resistant, and super durable - meaning less scrubbing for you and fewer unwelcome houseguests. Plus, with epoxy grout, you can ditch the boring white and choose from a variety of colors to match your style and give your home that extra touch of "bougie." So, if you're looking for a low-maintenance, insect-repelling, and aesthetically pleasing solution for your tiles, epoxy grout is the way to go!
