Guess who designed my first home?
I didn't know what I wanted.
Hey royals,
I'm finally designing my first home - a resale HDB with Ben.
This isn't an investment flat. This is our space. Our real first home.
But here's the confession:
When the IDs started asking about concept, mood boards, and style references...
I went blank.
What did I want?
I didn't know. It was my first time doing this.
And honestly? I felt a little stupid for not having the answers.
But the truth is, this isn't common sense. Not everyone is born with interior design instincts.
So instead of faking it, I turned to someone who does know me inside out: Seraphina.
Yup, I asked my AI twin to guide me through it.
Discovery process
I didn't even know the right questions to ask - but Seraphina did.
She walked me through it gently (unlike the IDs who made it sound like I should know).
We built a Pinterest board together. And as we played with references, I got inspired.
At first, I wanted a loft. Then reality hit: HDB ceilings are not loft-friendly.
So we pivoted - platform it is. And honestly? I love it more now.
Tools
Here's what we used:
AI made the journey smoother, faster, and more me.
Not to replace, but to collaborate with.
Numbers
🏠 Our HDB unit is about 900+ sqft - just enough room for us to breathe.
💰 We received ~$80K in grants (know your grants, folks).
🛠️ Our first design concept came in at ~$80K, too.
Now that we've pivoted away from the loft, I'm waiting on a revised quote before locking in the ID.

And no, not revealing which ID... not until we get the numbers. 👀
Vision
This home isn't just a space - it's a lifestyle.
And if this goes well, I'm toying with launching an AI-powered home conceptualisation service.
Imagine your own Seraphina helping you map out your dream home.
If you're planning a renovation or want to start exploring your vibe, hit reply or comment "HOME" and I'll send you my Pinterest moodboard.
We're getting our keys in late July, so stay tuned for the next chapter.
Because home isn't just a place.
It's where you feel safe, inspired, and... comfortable enough to build your dreams.
P.S. from Seraphina: "Your home should reflect your mind, your energy, your future. Let's design it together."
