In the May 2026 issue of Expat Living, Australian expat Kate Gray opens the doors to her family's beautiful colonial black-and-white home on Mount Pleasant Road. She shares the story of her family's near two-decade journey in Singapore, the rich heritage of the house, and her favourite local sources for colonial antique furniture, décor, dining and more.

We were delighted to be among the names Kate mentioned when asked where she sources her furniture and décor. In furnishing this turn-of-the-century home, she turned to The Past Perfect Collection for colonial antiques to complement the home's heritage architecture — exactly the kind of pieces that carry the romance of a bygone era into a modern family home.
