HoMe DeCoR FiNaLe: AlTeRnAtIvE DeCoR另类家居
And Now The End Is Here!
After a grueling eleven weeks we are now into the last installment of Home Decor 4.
To wrap up this season, we were thrown the topic of Alternative lifestyle.
Not an easy topic though..because, anything goes…My interpretation of this topic would be a decor that is not mainstream and does not adhere to conventional styling..It has to reflect the personal taste of the owner, their likes and their needs..and it should all gel together and becomes their home.
For this last epi, we were assigned this loving family where much love is found in their four room flat…the happy couple jusssst got married and we so hoped to give them a lovely wedding present::)
We spoke..listened…and understood that they wanted a brand new look to their place..liked black,white and grey..loved mosaics…loved their dog….loved minimalism..and so..we started our overhauling:)
Actually, i found their place to be quite retro inspired..
first and foremost, since the ceiling already has checks, we decided to amp it up and do a chessboard effect on the ceiling,which we felt was rather “alternative”..alot of work on this and kudos to my two fantabulous helper and the wonderful family…Next on the checklist, we decided to mosaic the shoe cabinet that u see on the right hand side of the above pic and transformed it into a one and only mosaic shoe cabinet u see below:)
Since they love their doggy sooo much, we decided to have its portrait to be done on the wall..not painted..but with mosaic!
I wanted an alternatively styled lamp to shine on them while they were eating..and so..we d.i.m this one of a kind cutlery chandelier:)
The transformation went on and on…..
Before After
Before after
But victory was not ours…
Nevertheless, i felt truly privilleged to have worked with this family because, i am touched but the bond they had..the warmth of a complete family.
This has been the most challenging season ever..because for each and every episode, my team and i push ourselves to create something that is asthetically pleasing as well as challenging ourselves to d.i.m stuffs that we had never done before..and here’s a recap:)
So here’s to everyone who played a part in this season of HoMe DeCoR..
May All Be Well and May All
Live Happily Ever After….

Dear Bryan,
It’s indeed creative of u to use forks & spoon as lamp, i guess no one would have thought it that way, i love the mosiac creations of the dog portrait although the judges den agree, haha maybe to sum it up not to make mark lee so ” Lou Qi” so give him win once more, anyway it’s 8-4. Sad to say thats the end le, hope to see more variety shows from u “)

You had did a great job honestly. Well done! It’s a pity to have this show end so fast,feel very touched for all the efforts that you and your team (Ah Boon & Ah Meng) put in for every episode of this show.The finale episode really make me tears out especially the ending part. Looking forward to your new programme. Take care and all the best

Hey Bryan,

Bryan,
Your design & DIY is very nice & creative. Getting keys for my new house soon. I wonder if you do freelance in designing for people. Believe if you do your charges should be very expensive.
on February 24th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Hello Bryan!
I love the mosiac doggie! I love ur designs!Its a pity that I was OT-ing in office resulting me in missing the last episode. Can u let me know where did u get the mosiac and how do u tink onto the wall and cardboard? Thought of DIY-ing myself.
Thks!

It was a great job presented by you and your group of people…
but the result was like upside down…
we were having our company dinner and all the people at my table voted you to be the winner but ended up to be the othe group winning…
But still you are the best creative designer in this show…

Hi Bryan gorgor!
I really enjoy all the episodes of Home Decor Survivor 1,2,3 & 4! If possible, I will definitely see in front of the TV every tuesday to catch this variety show with my family.. and it’s been our common topic all along. And after each episode, we will always be inspired to redecorate our house, hee! Thanks for the joy that Mark and you have brought to us and really hope that future series (5,6,7,8,9,10,11….etc!) will be planned! Haha. Maybe you two can publish a book on this, I’ll be the first to get it!

Hi Bryan
May i have your email add? And MSN?
Like to be your friend.
Having always liked you and after reading your blog, you are indeed a very kind, sensible, compassionate guy. I know you have challenges and sometimes being trapped or sad, just like you to know you have brought JOY to many people.
How is your Mum?
Should you ever need a listening ear and open heart, I would be more than happy to support you cos you need not walk alone.
Thanks Bryan and I wish you Happiness always as you continue to deposit more Good karmas.

Hi Bryan !
Fabulous effort from you and Mark
Personally, I think you are more creative and artistic than Mark
Mark did a pretty good job too. But cannot sexpect too much from an Ah Beng lah.
Btw, what happen here?

Hi Bryan! I am a great fan of yours (Age: 12). I love your work for every episode in Home decor. It’s a good news to win Mark Lee in the whole show, 4-8. I really do hope that I could see you again in Home decor! Will miss you.(: But at least can still see you on Friday, haha.(: You look so cute in playing the role of ‘Ah fu’ in New City Beat. Anyway, keep up the great talent you have. •.<

Hi Bryan,
Overall I still like your design in all of the ep. Like you mention the lamp that you made from the log you spent time and effort to find a log under rain and shine, as audience we can really see that you put into lots of effort in every single DIY that you made.
You mention in the little tips of clearing the Plasma TV screen may I know where can I buy the Alcohol?

Hi Bryan,
Watched the 3 dishes 1 soup episode today. That 3 treasures clay pot was awesome! Looks superb delicious.. I really wanna try cooking it…My parents would LOVE IT! Wahaha! Can you email the recipe to me at your convenience?
Thanks soooo much!
on March 4th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
allow me to write in chinese ?
真的很喜欢你的设计，但我更加欣赏你的主持方式。
我只是一名很平凡的学生，也是一名很喜欢文字的学生。
每一次看你的节目，我都学习到了很多，比如你的处世方式，还有每一次节目尾端你都会说的那一些感人的话语，有时真的很感动。因为真地看见你们的努力，虽然我不是参与者，但至少我见证了，我的偶像，与另一个“家”共度的时光。看到了你们之间的互动是真诚的，也会会心一笑：）

Hi Bryan
Any chance of me getting my hands on your recipe for the claypot stew you’ve made on 三菜一汤? My mum and I were drooling over it last night while we were watching the show. We could almost taste the beautiful combination of the salted fish and pork in our mouths..
Many thanks in advance Bryan!

Hi Bryan,
Possible to get hold of the triple delight recipe too??Would like to try it out coz it look so delicious….:)
Thanks.

Bryan
Watch the 3 dish+1 soup. The craypot dish looks delicious. I think alot of your fans would like to try to cook this dish. Can you pls put the receipe in this web ?
Watch all the 3 dish+1 soup, notice you are the only person who hold the frying pan with a cloth. It shows that you really know how to cook. You give very good explanations and reasons for how, why and when to add in the ingredients. Hope Mediacorp will start a cooking show with you as the host.

First up, great article! I’ve got a little question bothering me, I really love the layout of your blog and tried to download the same layout on my WP site. Yet, there is some kind of weird php error in the footer. Do you have any hints, what settings are you using? Please PM me on Twitter @LovnLivin or per e-mail.
on March 16th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
Hello, Bryan! Is it true that you’ve got a company doing interior design? I would love for you to do up my lovenest! Is that possible?
on March 17th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
Dear Bryan,

Thank you.

Wonderful, you’re so versatile.

Hi Bryan your design and inspirations has always been admire by many in many ways. To be honest I’m really very impress by all the design which you had come out especially your free hand drawing had really caught my attention. Currently I’m caught up in a situations and its more like a personnel problem and I’m seriously trying to forget things which had took place in the past and im really struggling in my life to get over things. I thought it would really help if you can give me some tips in terms of redesigning my room into a room office. I guess it would really assist me for getting over many things which happen to m in my life… I really hope that you would get back to me and therefore may your advice make wonders to my life again… Sad man.
