One bless that we accept after the wedding ceremony is the privilege on living an renovating the other part of the house, possesed by the wife’s family. Of course, as an old house, we may face the condition that the interior (and the exterior) is too old fashioned. We would like to redecorate it into more modern. Thankfully, we have good friends who have their own architect consulting. The first thing to be made over is our master bedroom.

Previously, the master bedroom was owned by her grandparents. After both died, it was empty. Some friends were staying, but not in long period. We asked our architect friend to reuse the home furnishings as those are made by real teak wood. They are still in good shape, just need a new look. For the bed, we were buying new spring bed. So far, we are delighted with the result. For next project, we are planning to redesign the bathroom. Yet, before that, we would like to seek for desktop lamps. We create an own working area near the wardrobe and we still don’t have any lamp.

We also look for a more modern indoor lighting. Something more minimalist, yet with modern shape. In the previous link, vanity lighting is perfect choice to mix up with our house.

It is not rare to read a robbery story in daily newspaper. The accident usually occurs when the house owners are asleep and there is no security officer in charge. Some sad stories may involve murdering. In fact, most houses in Indonesia are exposed which such threat since of course the fee required to pay security officers is not something can be afforded by common people. Only those who live in luxurious area, like in Menteng or Kebayoran Baru can claim their richness by paying up sum of money on guarding the ownership.

One method that may help us on securing our house in cheaper way is by implementing smart home security. Smart here means that we depend on technology, like alarm control and integrated electricity system, that will help us prevent any unauthorized person entering the house. All appliances is able to be controlled by your own computer using X10 protocol. X10 is an international standard for home automation. SmartHome Discounts thankfully is providing a complete catalog of all devices needed in implementing smart home, including surveillance camera. Whether we are living in elite area or in a suburb, we can always protect our belongings and loved ones with smart technology.

As a newlywed couple, one thing me and my wife think about is to redecorate our house. It is an old family house, inherited from my wife’s grandparents. The house was built about 40 years ago, thus that is why it is required to renew its appearance into today’s look. First we are rebuilding our main room. It consists of master bedroom and side room which is used as wardrobe and working place. To maintain the air circulation, unfortunately we need to use air conditioning system since there are tons of mosquitos are ready to attack if we are opening the windows, especially in the nite.

For living room, we would like to consider about placing ceiling fans. Our consideration is based on the electricity required and for fresh air we obtained from it. We are looking about it in online catalog and figure out that there many kinds of ceiling fans models available from different stores. Actually there are tons of ceiling fans provider out there. Some of them are Monte Carlo Ceiling Fans and Ellington Ceiling Fans. We can choose from contemporary model, traditional, even modern model. Since the ceiling fans idea is good as the solution, I guess we need to wait until having budget for buying it.
