HOME & PROPERTY

I love a home to be bright and airy – living in the tropics is perfect for that

Where do you source your furniture and décor? When we first arrived, we bought a houseful of modern teak furniture fromGallery 278 that we recently revamped with some sanding and painting; and we added some more pieces of furniture, mirrors and artwork from my lovely friend Caroline at Arete Culture – I love everything there. My colour palette is a light mix of pastels so I also love ASF Home Store at Tiong Bahru for their Walter G cushions and large planters, and Island Living for their resort-style décor. Teak &Mahogany is amazing for outdoor furniture; we’ve had ours for years and it looks brand new. A sentimental painting that was the first thing we bought when we arrived here; Lucky, our huge bright-pink street dog that sits in our colourful family landing area – we adopted him from the Who Let The Dogs out campaign at Mandarin Gallery a few years ago; and probably my coffee machine as I can’t survive an hour without one! What are three of your favourite items in the house (apart from David, of course!)?
