Last October 8, 2015, Shangri-La Plaza launched their Dream Living Spaces Exhibit. It is a privilege to be selected as one of their featured designers, and I had so much fun curating and designing a small kitchen and dining area for them. I had to choose pieces of furniture, kitchen gadgets, and accessories from the participating stores such as Bo Concept, Restorations, GE Monogram, Hacker, Rustan’s Department Store, D&B Kitchen Essentials, Kitchen Works, Cutting Edge, Kitchen Pro, and Smeg. Personally, my favourite furniture stores in Shangri-La are Restorations and Bo Concept. I bought my lamps for my house from Restorations, and I love the elegant pieces there.
Restorations: I love their chrome stools. I imagined it to be the kitchen stools for my exhibit space, if only the space were bigger.
Smeg was also quite impressive! Their refrigerators are quite popular, and I also love this knobless touchscreen oven that has a self cleaning mode as well!

I had a few hours to visit the stores and pick out the things I like. It was a breeze picking up accessories, but we encountered a problem while picking out our appliances. We were informed that we could not pull out the modular kitchens as base for the oven and cooktop! Good thing Shangrila worked swiftly and found a way to build and produce a make shift countertop in one day!
