Thank you for showing a real house, not some fake showroom where there are magically no cables and no signs of living in any way! This really gave me ideas and inspired me. Thank you!
Thank you for one of the best compliments I’ve received! Very glad that it inspired you and thank you for watching! 😊
Did you engage for Id or contractor?
ID, but didn’t have a good experience and had to do everything ourselves 😅 Do watch the defects vid for more info/if you’re int :)
I'm dying at the mari kita laundry rack LOL
😏
Only locals understand....
You know hayliv, i saw so many reno videos that show impossible to
Achieve $50k-100k perfection and beauty for commoners with a tight budget like me. those videos were enjoyable as they were depressing because it sets too high a bar that's difficult to achieve.
Your no-fuss simplicity in house reno thats practical , down to earth and achievable for simple ppl is really refreshing and exquisitely palatable.
Realised now that i dont ever want to see those expensive renos that do not serve the budget nor the paractical realities of hdb living of the regular citizen here.
Thank you and keep uploading more of such stuff pls.
Tq so much for your kind comment 😊 I uds what you meant, as many house tours are decked with lots of works and upgrades (which is very cool) but most weren't within our budget as well. I'm glad that having a simple reno resonated with you; and after 1.5 years living in, we're still very happy with the house because there isn't much to clean 😆 I will try my best to, and thank you for your support in advance! 🙆🏻♀️
Furniture socks: protects more than furniture, floor, also protects neighbours downstairs from screeching sound when furniture are moved.
I love your presenting style! Your jokes started from the white colour floor mat and never stopped 🥰
Heeehee same frequency!! Thank you for watching 🙆🏻♀️
😆 "to protect our ageing feet"
Was expecting a house tour didn’t expect LOL so hard.
thank you for appreciating my humour 😆
this video was beautifully shot! read through the comments as well, thank you for the useful renovation cost pointers and links :)
Thank you so much! Happy you found them useful 😊 Lmk if you’ve any other qns/need other links that are not covered yet :)
LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! Comments are hilarious and your house is literally the most beautiful 💕✨
Aww thank you!! 🥰
I like how you edited the b rolls to demonstrate the dining table. Smooth transition, simple yet informative 🤙
Thank you for noticing! Glad you enjoyed the vid too 😊
Very interesting and insightful too. I usually don't have the patience to watch till end but I watch yours 😃😃😃
That’s a HUGE compliment! Thank you for giving me your time ☺️💕
Love it when you said “his cleaning supplies” instead of our. Lol. Great job. I’m starting my major reno in march2021. I did get some inspirations from your video. New sub!
A healthy rs has clear boundaries 😉 Glad that you got some inspo! That’s really soon, hope all will go smoothly with your reno and thanks for staying on! 😊
@@haylivk thanks. Maybe next video on tips and tricks on how to shop in Taobao for home stuff? ✌️😍
Hahaha then it’ll become a 20min video over-sharing my thoughts on Taobao :x Noted on your suggestion, thank you!! ☺️
@@anermila6325 hello! Pardon my random comment. It took some time but I managed to do a tb guide 2 months ago. Just wanted to come back and say thank you for the video suggestion!😊🙏🏻
I love all your home-related videos! Everything is so cosy, neat and minimal✨
(and once again I love your voiceover/captions hahaha)
Ahhh I’ve been waiting for your vlogs! Thank u for liking them, makes me feel less conscious about it 😂
Hayliv 해리브 no need to worry, the voiceover is very entertaining! 🤗 Haha work has been busy and life has been boring so I don't have much to film these days 😅 Will get back on track soon! 💪🏼
Yeah at your own pace!! My last vid was exactly 1 month ago haha. Life doesn’t have to always be interesting. Just gotta be sustainable I guess. Jiayou 🤗
I LIVE FOR YOUR COMMENTARY! LOVE ITTTTTT! :D and your house deco too, of course.
THANK YOU!! For appreciating my humour + leaving a nice comment, you made my night!!
Hi Hayliv, I love everything about your beautiful new home, your lovely jokes and especially your sweet voice! 👏🏼👍🏼⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😂
I wish you both happiness, sweetness and joy... 👫🏻💑
Hello May, thank you so much for your sweet comment 🥺 Glad that you like the video, I’ll send your kind regards to my hubz as well ☺️ Have a great day! 💕💕
Thank you for this awesome video! I really appreciate all the tips and thought processes behind your decisions.
Great video! I love how you managed to incorporate your personality into the shoot! You earned yourself a subscriber!
Thank you! It was something new for me as well. Glad you enjoyed the vid and thanks for staying on! 😊
omgosh the toothbrush holder is the best thing ever
Ikr!! It’s so simple and innovative 😆
I love how your voice is soft but it still has a lot of character to it. I’m moving into my home in Jan and I’m getting some inspo from u! The soap dispenser is so pretty and minimal!
I tried my best to be gentle, guess it worked. 😏 Congrats on your new place!! Glad that I could turn my months of TB mining into inspo material for you :)
Love your dry and oh, so humourous comment! Keep it up!
aw thank you for that! ☺️
Just came across your video randomly while doing research on muji themed design for my new apartment to come. Love your house design - very simple, neat and cosy.
Aw thank you for saying that, and congrats to your new apartment!! Hope reno goes well 😊
i love the keyboard tray, i could not have thought of it for my future house :)
glad that you liked it! If you're referring to the one on the built-in table - on hindsight, we wouldn't have built that and would have preferred a standalone / standing desk. Just for your reference ^_^
love the comedic bits here and there.
glad you enjoyed it 😊
Couldnt decide whether your commentary or your house was better😊
🥺 aww thank u for your kind words 🥺 Was feeling a little apprehensive at first but I'm so glad that you liked it!
Love your commentary..... subscribed! ☺️
Hehe! Thanks for staying on ☺️
Love love love
The flowers😍
Ikr, Friend N/H has surprisingly good luck in choosing plants 😆
Nice , simple n cosy home. Love the flowers on your dresser table socks.
The under bed storage is good but drawers may be more accessible,depending on what is to be stored
I saw both and found the drawer storage divan at King's Furnishing. Its really useful.
Ah I see! Yes, this gives us more space but drawers are def more accessible. Ours is currently still empty 😆
@@haylivk
Hi, stumbled across your video recently. Nice soothing narration peppered with little anecdotes. Loved the one about you like to play with 🔥. Though simple and no frills, you created a cosy place for the two of you and that’s all that matters. Sparked some questions about the stuff i really need for my new place.
Can i know where did you get your king sized storage bed. The ones I’ve seen so far are actually 2 single storage frame joined as one. Appreciate if you can share the details. Thanks in advance.
I love minimalist design❤️✋
Thank you ☺️
your house is SO neat!
thank you! We tried very hard 😂
Thanks for sharing your lovely home 🏡 👍👍👍
Thank you for watching 🤗
looooved this video
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it 😆
I was searching for how the bomb shelters are organised and found your video.
Honestly one of the most entertaining house tour out there, " I like fire" " fairy-light around shit pipes"
love this.
Glad you liked it Keller 🙊 Hope those org videos were helpful, and lmk if you need any other input for that!
nice and cozy home! you have a really amazing voice btw! and also i see that you have a cricut! pls make videos about your crafts with it~~
tyvm for your compliment 🥺 YESSSS CRICUT!! Okie will save that idea, appreciate the suggestion 😄
This is the nicest BTO house tour I’ve seen so far! Warm & cosy vibes 🌝
And omg that vanity table, I have been eyeing on that tb shop and stalking their livestream for quite some time!! Their stuff are so solid and good lovessss 😄😄😄
Thank you!! Omg yes their furniture are pretty solid, was very relieved when they turned out well 🥰
Simple and tidy 👍
Thank you!😆
"and because i like fire" HAHAHAH WHAT LMAO
Flames are beautiful 🥰🔥
I like that this house is a true minimalist house. Very little things and creating less waste in the world.
Not to add, more space for the mind too! 👍
@@wychen9687 Thank you! Agree that having less things gives me more time to focus on other aspects on life 😊
"Marikita laundry rack", you're so cute.
Hahaha thank u!! Needed that ego boost 😆
Cute furniture socks and nice lighting
Thank you 😊
Lovely home, especially the Japanese wood-like toilet
Tq for your compliment 😊 It’s one of my fav parts of the house too
Great video! I watched till the end :))
Thank you for your 10mins!😁
Hi! Thanks for doing a house tour! I actually have the exact same layout as you.. Your tour helped me visualise the long living room area well!! I was wondering how long it was going to be..
Most welcome! It seemed a bit too narrow at the start (short distance between sofa and TV), but it was OK once we put the furniture in and got used to it 👍🏻
Hey your house is so so beautiful i rly wished i cld move in to your house instantly HAHA thank you for sharing this is so satisfying to watch!!! I
Aww thank you so much!🥺 Credits to Pinterest for the inspo and taobao/IKEA for actualising it 😆 Glad that you enjoyed the vid!!
The flowers bloomed 😂
They grew up nice and well 😂
Subbed! Your voice is really v nice to hear, and I can see a lot of effort in making this video - the shots and editing. I have the same taobao soap dispenser as you in your kitchen!
Thank you for noticing and for your compliment! Yeah, this video is by far one that has the most shots/angles. Tedious but satisfying :) Oh! Ikr the TB ones are great, around 1/3 the price of what we found locally 😅
@@haylivk and i have ridiculous comments asking me why am i buying stuff from TB and not supporting local lol. Every video production is like a school assignment, very nice feeling once complete and uploaded. Its a new found hobby for me too 😀
@@AlexTeo I want to support local too, but local dowan to support me 😅 yeah I see you uploading quite often!! I subbed too; see you on CZcams!! 😄
@@haylivk thanks for the sub! 加油 for your videos
Nice and clean house. Thanks.
Thank you 😀
Love your video and house!
ty 💕☺️
Amazing house!! 😍 I'm surprised that HDB can look like this. Looks japanese/korean type of house. Btw I'm Singaporean too haha
We were very intentional in choosing what to get, so thank you so much for your compliment!! 💜
So beautiful❤️
Thank you for watching ☺️💜
LOVE LOVE LOVE HOW THE VIDEO WAS SHOT! 😍 it’s a beautiful and highly functional home!
Thank you!! 🥺 The many months of reno planning, taobao stalking and ID managing finally paid off 😍
@@haylivk time to enjoy your fruit of labour! Congrats ❤️
Cool! Love your home. So my style. :)
Thank you! ^_^
Nice! i like your passive aggressiveness
hahahaha thanks 😏😏
Great video, and great humour! Earned a sub!
Glad you enjoyed it 😆 thanks for staying on!
Beautiful house 😍
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for the video 😍
Thank you for watching!! Hope you managed to find a nice bomb shelter rack :)

ah thank you!! Marikita rack spoil already 🥹
Simple , neat , tidy. I like the easy concept unlikely traditional . Btw, what is your apartment sq ?
Thanks for sharing 🌻
My pleasure, thank you for watching Mary 🥰🌸
Hi, I would like to know where you purchase the pull-up/dips set from? Also what part of the BTO walls can you mount those?
We got them from Taobao, but the after sales CS wasn’t helpful :/ We mounted them on the solid walls; better to check if that particular wall you’re interested has sufficient load bearing capacity before mounting :) item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=594710271510
Thank you. Very nice and simple. Love the down to earth design and nth fancy which cost a bomb. Saving for future reference.😁
Yes, my husband and I tried to save as much as we can. We prefer cash. Glad you liked it! 🤗
Hey hi, love your reno esp the frame for the workout. May I know where did you buy and how did you install it? :) Cheers!
Got it from tb item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=594710271510 and husband paid our IKEA/gogovan installer extra to install it! Both tb after-sales / gogovan uncle's skills weren't the best though... 😬
Love the cozy feel of your house. Where did you get you soap dispenser in the guest toilet @7.07? Thanks
Thank you! From TB; link in description :)
Nice house!
Thank you! Hope it stays this way 😬
lol @ the robo vacuum helps ' my husband' to clean up the house
I help my husband too....... sometimes
A lovely, calming house
Tysm Kleine 🥰 Ours is the Roborock S6 Pure, updated its link in description :)
HAHA, guest toilet is to store "HIS" cleaning supplies.
Yeah, ownership and clear boundaries are pillars of a healthy relationship 😉
definitely an inspo house and a very pretty place you got there! can I ask where did you get your sink + cupboard for the two toilets? thanks!
Thank you for your kind words! Sink and vanity from Saniquo, linked in description :) We sourced the tap separately from Bathroom Warehouse because I didn't like the one that came with the set 😅
@@haylivk i love your sink too !
I love yr clean home
Credits to my husband hahaha, thank you v much!
@@haylivk it takes two!
wow I love how simple and organized your house is. I plan not to spend too much for my BTO, but need a little more storage space, and your setup has inspired me! May I know how much was spent on the your reno and if there was any ID involved?
hello! Not sure if it's still helpful for you- We spent ~37k incl electrical, carpentry, tiling etc and excl furniture, fittings and appliances, but this was pre-COVID times. We had an ID but sadly he wasn't very helpful at that time haha. Hope your reno went/goes well!
@@haylivk thank you for your reply! pretty sure the cost will increase significantly in the future liao T-T
I noticed there are labellers on the organiser boxes in your study, mind to share what labellers/printers for those? Looking for a good labeller that's waterproof too if any chance you may know. Thank you for the effort and very useful for future home owners!
I used an embossing label maker (?) I got from Taobao for $8, but there are very similar ones from shopee too! There’s a short snippet of me using it in my rehoming ingredients vid if you’re int. I think it shd be waterproof, but I find that the adhesive is not strong enough tho :( I use force/add double-sided tape to make stick better if needed 😊 item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=566960148878
Love your minimalist home ~ I am also a minimalist Singaporean. I too made a home tour ☺️☺️
thank you!! stalked your IG, love your aesthetic too! 😆
Lmao I love your dry humour!
Hehe thank u for not rolling your eyes 🤣 Glad you enjoyed the video! :)
Where did you get the pull up bar? It’s really cool. Thanks.
From Taobao, but the after sales CS wasn’t great 😅 item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=594710271510
Hey, I can't tell you how much your videos have been helpful to us through our renovation journey. Thank you!!!
Got a plastic bag dispenser after seeing it in this video, one of my favourite purchases for our home.
For the double soap dispenser in the kitchen, what volume does each container store? Is it the same as the usual refill packs that are sold at fairprice? 2 years on, would you still recommend it?
Hey Jaya, thanks so much for your sweet comment 😊 In case this is still relevant for you- each container can hold more than 225ml (dettol hand wash refill pack size), so Im guessing around 300ml. However we've to split our dishwashing refills (500-600ml) as it's not sufficient. It drips occasionally but it's not an issue for us, and yes, I'll still recommend it :)
@@haylivk Thanks for getting back to me! Yes it's still relevant as we have not decided if we will buy this yet.
@@jayashrishobna ah I see! Overall I think refilling wasn't as cumbersome for me as I thought, though not sure if this particular one can hold the soap properly if you decide to dilute it. Hope you'll find a solution that works for you soon (and congrats on having your own home!!)
Have you thought of installing tinted window film in the study room?
Yes! But I do like the amount of sunlight that’s coming in so am still undecided 😆
Hi! May I know where is your TV console from? Love your BTO tour! Feel so inspo-ed!
Hey Yi Xin, we got it from IKEA; updated link in description :)
omg congrats on the microwave!!!!
YASSS much more convenient!! But... There was a mini 💥 in it earlier tonight. Lol
We love your white window frames.. did you paint them and any issue with quality and peeling over time?
Nice. How much is the reno? Did you hack any wall? Your living room looks really neat. What made u all decide not to have a cupboard in the living room?
~57K (37K reno + 20K FFE); yeah hacked a half wall for the kitchen. Thanks, we try to keep our surfaces as empty as we can :) No carpentry in living room mainly because we wanted to keep it clutter-free, and partly because of the $ savings!
Hi Hayliv, may I know did you install false ceiling in your living room? If not, how could you install the ceiling lights without using the wired casing ? Thank you
Hi Elvi! We didn't do false ceiling in the living room; our contractors rewired the location of the lighting/electrical point to the location we wanted 🤔 So we could conceal the wiring inside the ceiling
Hi! Nice tour. Would you mind sharing where the study table is from and hm?
Thank you! The study table was part of our reno's carpentry work (wall-mounted); can't give a specific price as items weren't clearly itemised 😅
Hi thanks for making this video! Do you have the taobao link for the oak shelf in your study room?
Thanks for watching 😊 I don't 100% recommend it though as it feels slightly shaky (might be due to our floors and not the shelf, not sure). The wood quality is nice and not flimsy, though not as smooth/polished like our other wooden furniture. Here: item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=583355435247
I love the color theme of your house!! May I know what is the wood laminate of your tv console and study desk?
Study desk: Lamitak WY 5244D (Riviera Viola Noce)
Console: www.ikea.com/sg/en/p/besta-tv-bench-with-doors-white-stained-oak-effect-lappviken-white-stained-oak-effect-s59299140/ do take note of the electrical socket height / whether your wall is strong enough if you’re considering this to prevent an ugly gap like ours!
@@haylivk Thank you for your reply! I have taken note on the ikea tv console :)
@@myang7612 most welcome :)
Hi sis, I have also plan to put mirror in front the db box, but does fingerprint cause a big problem to you when opening the db door?
Ah, yes got fingerprints- easy to clean but we don’t do it frequently because we open/close the DB box daily, so no point 😅 Not the best, but for us the convenience > fingerprints cos more practical :)
Omg I love Krave Beauty too :P How did you manage to get your hands on the hydrating cleanser?
The moisturiser and serum is reeaaaallly good!! 😍 I got the cleanser from a reseller via shopee. The cleanser’s not bad, but currently preferring Cosrx’s Good Morning Gel Cleanser 😁
Hi! May I know where did u purchase the exercise rack from?
Hello! Got it from taobao: item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=594710271510 The after-sales CS wasn’t the best but there are a lot of similar listings from other shops 😊
I absolutely love your toilet sink! Where did you get it from??
We got it from their physical shop: www.saniquo.com.sg/ :)
I also prefer fire over induction hob.😁
Hows your wifi? Any dead spots?
Hi-5 🔥 A bit weaker in the master room (vanity table corner) but so far it’s ok! :)
Hello.. thank u for showing us your lovely home. I love your vinyl flooring. May I ask which brand you used, and what is the name of the design you used?
Hello Zara! My pleasure 🥰 These are actually wood plank tiles (RMW12261): www.hafary.com.sg/collection/Tiles/Romantic-Ceramic-RMW12263-2218 Hope you'll find something you like for your new home :)
@@haylivk thank you!
@@zarashaik7094 my pleasure :)
Hi! Great video! Btw, may I know where u purchased the plastic holder?
Thank you! You were referring to the plastic bag holder yeah? Got it from Taobao, but there might be similar ones from shopee! item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=606465544029
@@haylivk yup thank you!
You have a great home there!
May I know the tissue box cover at @1:47, how to buy it ya😅😅
Awww thank you very much! My mum made it so it’s not for sale 🥺 Your comment made her very happy ☺️
i really like them! hows the renovation cost like ?
Thank you! Reno was ~37K, furniture, fittings and appliances was ~20K :)
Love this video! May i know how much did you spend roughly on reno and did you engage an ID? TIA. :)
Hi Eunice! About 37k for reno incl electrical, tiles etc and another 20k for furniture, fittings and appliances :) Hope this helps and all the best for your reno!
I like your dressing table. Just wonder~ did you buy it from taobao?
Hny! Yea, got it from taobao too :) Couldn’t find one I liked locally
Hi! Thank you for sharing your house tour! May I kindly ask for the link of your mounted pull up bar? ☺️
Hello Cindy! Here, but the after-sales CS wasn’t supportive 😅 Maybe you can explore similar ones from different shops :) item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=594710271510
@@haylivk oh dear, thought it would be a good buy as it’s tried and tested and reviewed by you guys that it’s sturdy 😅 so far the item itself is recommendable? I will look out for other suppliers if any! Thank you!
@@cindychang9117 (tested and reviewed and failed 🤣) yes it’s sturdy! However the screws used were pretty large and it was difficult finding a suitable drill bits for these. The item did come with some minor dents / scratches at the side but yea had to overlook / live with it 😂
Hello, thank you for the video :)
Can help to share the details consideration of your tiling on toilet & kitchen, both on floor & wall please.
Are you changing all the tile from hdb? If im not wrong, your kitchen & svc yard are using the floor tiles given :) but not sure about the wall.
And also, normally now people use vinyl flooring to achieve the wooden muji-ish look, care to share why you chose for tile instead?
Many thanks in advance 😊🙏
Lovely home you have 💛
Hi Lily! Both toilets' floor and wall tiles were overlaid over existing tiles to preserve HDB's tiling warranty; you're right, no changes to kitchen/service yard's wall and floor tiles, using the default HDB ones :)
My husband preferred tiles as he likes the feel of them and it's more cooling. We also wanted to avoid the vinyl from sinking/denting in after putting furniture for a long time.
Thank you for watching and for your compliments 🥰 Hope this helps!
@@haylivk ah okay, understand the thinking process.
Im starting my reno soon, so your video helps a lot because i can have a visual now that i do not have to change the kitchen and svc yard at all, it looks just fine 😊
I'll just overlay 2 toilets then 👍😉
Noted on the cooling effect on the tiles. Did you compare the price between tiling and vinyl (living room and bedrooms area)? Or was it not an issue at all because you know exactly what you want? :)
Many thanks Hayliv!!
@@lilyratnawati Glad to help! Though the kitchen/service yard’s wall and floor tiles might be different from yours depending on the project 😊
I really enjoyed the new walls/floor tiles of both bathrooms as it really changed the mood / look and feel of them 🙊
Yes we compared and vinyl was more affordable than tiles but we went for it anyway, and saved by not doing any extra carpentry around the house :)
@@haylivk noted with many thanks. Cheers for your days ahead at home. Stay safe 😊🙏
NICE! :D
Tq 🥰
May I know which exercise rack you guys opted for? I'm confused between the options given by the seller 😂
Hi I like ur videos n may I ask ur juicer n toasters etc r wat brands as they seem uniquely unified in such a sweet colour which is wat I’m looking for
Thank you!😊 My juicer is from Hurom, and my toaster is from Philips :) I checked if they came in colours that match my house before purchasing all of them 🙊
Very nice cozy house.
May I know where you buy your wall mounted exercise rack and price? Tks
U got very nice voice. :)
