wendy's whims
Just wanted to share some of my kitchen moodboard photos. I’ll probably do up a post with the renovation progress when I sort out the mess that is my life.
Basically the idea is a very neutral palette of cool grey, white and aluminium finishes.
My kitchen is tiny so the white cabinets will create visual space and also blend with the white wall tiles. I chose a grey floor to ground the space, and also for continuity with my living room floor which is also grey.
Appliances will be kept within the aluminium/black/white colour scheme as well, as far as I can help it that is.
Yup just to share how I conceptualised my kitchen. :) Hehe @ the word “conceptualised”… I’m not any fancy interior designer though. I’m happy with the progress so far, once it’s done I will post up photos!
I know this blog has been dead to the world for a while… My life has just been a bit too overwhelming for me haha.
I’m getting married (!), getting a new house (and renovating it), getting a new job… ahh~ it’s a wonder I’m still in one piece.

Completely random thing to think about at 1am. But was reading an article on the Sunk Cost Fallacy. Link at the end of this post.
Scenario 1: You are on your way to watch a movie which costs $10. On your way to the cinema, you lose $10 from your wallet. Would you still proceed to buy the tickets?
88% of people would.
Scenario 2: You have bought the tickets for $10. You lost the tickets. Would you repurchase the tickets to watch the movie?
Only 46% of people would. Most would not.
If you really think about it, the 2 situations are absolutely identical. But even as I know this, and go through the scenarios again and again, I still arrive at different conclusions for both.
It’s mindboggling. The theory is that in Scenario 2, we tend to think that we have “assigned the money to a specific purpose”. Something like we plonk it into different ledgers in our head (in accounting terms haha). Thus justifying to ourselves the different choices.
This is WEIRD. Why does my brain work this way?
