Of course, I invited myself over to Ria’s home 🙂  I am glad she said yes!

She has a saying ” No more arte arte”  Which is also applicable to me too which I will adapt 🙂  Hope others will do too.  

I love the location of her house because it’s isolated and you will only pass here if you live in this street 

And my dream is to live in a Victorian home!!  She is living my dream!!! 🙂  She is so lucky!  She is renting this home and she is also very lucky her landlord renovated the house before they moved in!!  It’s beautiful!! It’s a 144 year old house!  

As you enter 🙂  Someone loves to bike 🙂  Victorian homes are very narrow and they go up several floors – so it is a vertical home 🙂  

WOW!! The living room!  Ria told me that she moved all her furniture and things from Singapore where she lived for 13 years!  Jonathan Matti was her Interior designer in Singapore.  This time, she just fixed this herself! 

Antique pottery

She has a mixture of Asian Art

The living room is connected to the dining room which is nice because it becomes more spacious and not too enclosed compared to the other Victorian homes I have seen

Love the dining room!!!!  Table by Kenneth Cobonpue and dining chairs by Roland Laurena 

Ang Kiukok paintings

Ria has been living in London for a year already and she told me that ever since she moved from Singapore, she had to learn how to cook! And I heard she cooks very well!  

The kitchen leads to a patio! Love! 🙂

John Santos!!!

It’s really hard to find renovated Victorian homes.  So having a bathroom like this is precious 🙂  

Second Floor – Kids room 🙂

Third floor should be another bedroom but Ria turned it into the study/play room of the kids!! 

Ronald Ventura!!!

Fourth level is an attic type room which she made into the guest room! Lucky houseguest 🙂

Oops another bike 🙂
