In 2022, many news sites reported that she sold her home and would undoubtedly live from the suitcases in hotels. Fear not loyal fans, everything has changed! It turns out her “homeless” status was only a temporary thing. Now our beloved Yifong has found her new nest, and she’s lovingly opened the doors for a home reveal tour via SIXiDES!
Yifong approached SIXiDES in late 2022 to help search for designers and merchants. Judging from her previous home, we’d think she would be going for something big, spacious and opulent. However, this time round, she has decided to opt for something cosy, a 2 bedder apartment as she wants something easier to maintain. This is reflective of her current work and as her Beijing based daughter, Eleanor Lee seldom returns to Singapore.
As one would expect, Yifong’s new home reflects her vivacious persona as well as her daughter’s penchant for art. It’s not a house; it’s a “Yifong & Eleanor Museum,” where each corner whispers a story of their unique journey together. In fact, the moment one enters their home, we will greeted by Eleanor’s collection of toy figurines. According to the mummy, her daughter has a say in the accessorising and dressing up for the home. As opposed to the numerous trophies that the mummy used to put up, whenever there is an opening, now it’ll house Eleanor’s toys and artworks.
There is also a small section of the wall in the new home where it is dedicated to Eleanor’s collection of her own paintings. We did a little sleuthing, these paintings were painted by Eleanor since young and had followed them from the previous home to the current one.
These art works are not mere decorations; they are the repository of their memories, for both mother and child.
This would mean that the interior design and planning of the space needs to be cosy, welcoming, fun and easy to maintain for Yifong. As the appointed designer, Benjamin Toh of M2 Decor said, “this is a sleek and modern home with a touch of English vibe.”
So fans, rejoic! Quan Yifong is not homeless anymore. She has a fabulous looking new home – a home that is simple, elegant and artistic as well.
