                                                                   Voices visits a cleverly designed three-room flat at Toa
                                                                   Payoh Central to see how some of our heart landers are
                                                                   jazzing it up.                                     By Irene Wee

      Tucked into a cosy corner at Blk 157 Toa Payoh Lorong
      1 is the stylish airy, well-planned three-room apartment
      belonging to ex-SIA girl, now Professional Development
      Manager of the Singapore Training & Development
      Association, Anne Loke. I call it the "Bachelorette Flat":
      It has all the glass, mirrors and sleek leather sofa that
      we have come to associate with the "Bachelor Flat" but
      this time softened with a sweet feminine touch.




      Help yourself please
      What a clever solution to entertaining alone!
      Guests pour their own drinks by taking their
      own glasses from this wall-mounted glass
      holder. I love the "ritzy" effect of light reflected
      off the mirror, gleaming steel rods and sparkling
      wine glasses.

                                                                                          Privacy can be an issue in a corner flat. Anne
                                                                                          overcomes this problem with a blasted glass panel
                                                                                          and an ingenious play of lights to make the entrance
      More...                                                                             bright and welcoming, yet with a sense of mystery
      "More, please, more wardrobe space". Every                                          as you wonder what lies behind the screen.
      fashionista's eternal plea. This super-size walk-
      in wardrobe extends from the bedroom into the
      next room becoming like a third room between
      the study and the bedroom. Isn't dressing up
      fun?

"My philosophy is you only have one life, and your home
is an important part of that life. So be comfortable, and give
yourself the best that you can afford." Level headed and
keeps to her budget, but optimises it for maximum results.
Spoken like a true Professional Development Manager.

          with a book can be a pleasure for the
          senses.
