Casa BSing Condo Tour- Zeitgeist by Bianca Sing

Hello, world! Welcome to my first blogpost for 2020.

I know I’ve been on hiatus for quite some time now on this blog space as there were just too many things happening in my life the last few months- one of the biggest ones would be me moving to Singapore for work.

Now that I’ve finally settled down, let me share with you a happy project I’ve been busy working on: this cozy little space I call home here in SG- CASA BSING.

Choosing my home (away from home) was one of the biggest decisions I needed to make upon landing. Rental prices here are crazy expensive, especially if you live in the CBD area that’s why I needed to make a choice if I wanted to get a room in the city center or to get a more spacious condo but located a bit farther. Since this country is very small anyway and the transport system is very efficient, I decided to go with the latter. Afterall, I want to feel “at home” in this new city. Other factors I considered were:

Rental price
Do I get my own place or share it with a roommate?
Distance from the office
Access to public transportation
Access to food, hospital, etc. in case of emergency

In the end, I decided to get a non-furnished unit which was a blessing in disguise since I got to put my love for interior design in action. To give you an idea, this was how the space looked like before I moved in.

And this is the finish product after doing home styling!

Welcome to my home!The unit is actually just a studio but it looks so much bigger due to the high ceilings + good source of light c/o the big windows.If you’re following me on Instagram, you would know how I’ve been addicted to plants these days. I didn’t know how powerful they were before until I started putting them in my place. They really made my unit more homey! I initially didn’t expect that I would be spending a lot of time at home due to work travels but surprisingly, I am now due to various reasons (ie: ankle injury, Chinese New Year holidays, and most recently, the virus outbreak.) I’m glad I spent time and effort designing my place to make it cozy that I don’t mind spending the whole weekend staying in 🙂Three of my favorite things displayed on my coffee table 🙂 Bonus that they all fit the color theme of my condo!If you noticed from the bare photos, this TV wall structure is actually a built-in one so I was worried the place would look weird if I didn’t get a television. I don’t know if I regret getting one now as I’ve been spending so much time binge-watching Netflix these days. Case in point: been crazy about Crash Landing On You recently that I couldn’t help but gush when this scene from Episode 11 matched my plants display so well!I’m glad there’s enough space for me to set up a working space as I spend a lot of time working.Oh, did I mention that the condo is actually a studio loft? This unique bed space is actually one of the reasons why I chose this layout over the other more “normal-looking” unit I first checked in the same building. I think this loft-bed added so much more character to this condo!Baby No. 7- Snake Plant. Tip if you want to start taking care of plants, you might want to start with this as it’s very low maintenance.Any home styling questions?
