This corner.
This room used to be the underdog of the house — too small to be a proper double, with nothing in its bones to flaunt or upgrade.
So we rotated the paintings, repainted the cracked floor and those dull walls every season, and told ourselves it’s semi-decent.
Then last year, Kichu suggested we add some movie posters and a bit of lighting. I said yes — because honestly, I couldn’t think of a better idea.
What followed were weeks (and months) of DIY madness: vinyl flooring, layers of putty and paint, Kichu designing, printing, and framing fan posters of our favourite films, stringing up lights, and making countless tiny upgrades and extras.
Now? We’re finally proud of this little room. We tell ourselves we did a decent job.
