Am looking for sliding door solution to separate living room from kitchen. Unfortunately it's a 1.5m panel meeting a 2.5m panel at 45degree. Anybody come across any suppliers or showroom to get solutions ? Currently the IDs I've been speaking to suggested 1) top hung glass (which I feel may vibrate and not last as long) or 2) wide tracks (with 2 or 3 panels sliding on them) embedded in the floor Hoping for an even better solution (if there is). Thanks in advance.

Finally, our favourite sink was delivered to us yesterday. When we received the package, we immediately opened it. =) Our first reaction was to knock on the sink to have a feel of what good quality was. Indeed, the "knocking" sound was very much different from what we have at home right now. The sink was in a big dustbag, along with the given accessories, and it was also carefully wrapped in styrofoam. We are very happy with our purchase, even though it was quite a hole in the pocket. But hey, it was so much cheaper compared to buying it here in SG. Although we found it a tad too big for our kitchen, I believe we will make good use and take great care of it.

Another update from ID: Bedroom doors are installed! Study Room (bag not included ) MBR

Thanks, both. Yeah can't be helped. But I would've tried to explore alternatives if I had paid enough attention to the design. Nevertheless, the wardrobe and cabinets look good and study, so that's all that matters.

cool!! i like that coffee table~~~~~ his idea of popping out chair too.. kekeke... thanks! mine still gt a longggggggg way to go lah...

Bo-Liao-Ness Was at Ubi Ave 4 area today for my Fire Safety course at SCDF HQ just now at around 6pm... hahaha.. By the time I finished my blitz-dinner, it was already 6.15pm. My fire safety course starts at 6.30pm sharp. How? Aiya I was so near ma.. just go look see look see lor... heh heh The story of my un-curb-able enthusiasm for reno so far. hehe And so... bo-liao-ness & eagerness overtook me... So I went to drop in on #PoshHome showroom for a while.. Hoping to stress #CalvinTan a bit since it's his first day back from his long CNY holiday... hahaha.. but aiyah couldn't catch him.. Talked to this other guy at #PoshHome for a short while... If i'm not wrong his name is #Richard? better double check. hahaha.. but I remember that he was the site coordinator for one of the 2 site visits that i went for.. (see Post #7 on workmanship) It was the site that truly impressed me on their workmanship... (maybe because I gradually learnt what to look out for) He strikes me as someone who is very good with his technical knowledge & seems like a people-person.. not sure if he does design, but i will suppose I will see more of him in the future & fill you guys in.. hahaha... Exciting part comes - SOLID WOOD PLANK FINISHED PRODUCT! Okok! Exciting part! I learnt from #CalvinTan that their showroom would have samples of the finished solid-wood (see Post #7 for the pictures on the raw solid wood materials pre-treatment) delivered by today! So I had to quickly go and take a look with my own eyes!! EXCITED! I tell you, the sight that greeted me.... wah. I dunno how to describe. The feeling when you see the 2+metre tall solid wood plank.. and.. you know it is the one. You Must Have One. (Dont care already must convince CFO no matter what!! ) hahahaha i seem to be talking about my soul mate. hahaha... CFO should not read this part. *ahem* ANYWAY! HERE IT IS! (I think maybe.... hmm.. 2.2 metres tall?) Yeah in case you are wondering what they door on the right is, yep they placed it next to the toilet door temporarily i think. hahaha... toilet door also so swee. cannot stand them. hahaha... next time take pictures of the toilet interior to show you all. #Richard was nice enough to tell me that there were another 2 more samples on their 2nd floor, and I had to keep a straight face while he was talking so as not to give my excitement away. hahahaha.... They put them leaning up against the wall behind other furniture, so these are the best photos I could take without actually rearranging their showroom furniture pieces ahahahhaa.... Annndddd TADA here they are!The last photo is MY FAVOURITE! (not put up for clearance & approval by CFO yet, but ya, MY favourite!) Looks like they are thinking of creating a rectangular dining table piece from this solid wood plank. the grain is super duper gorgeous lor. so pretty. really. can't stand it. hahahahhahaa... This one should be about 1.5m tall? Just for you readers to estimate because I know how photos can be deceptive when it comes to estimating the size & proportions... Saved the BEST FOR THE LAST. In my opinion...this wooden grain is the most magical. (can't believe myself) hahahaha... I LOVE how you can see the beautiful bark of the solid wood piece at the side & that it's of this light hue... everything is just there in all its natural majestic beauty.. I mean if you take a look at the other 2 earlier photos, you can see the intact bark there at the side too, but there's just this X-factor about this particular solid wood piece. Also, the finish is superb. really give it to the guys at #PoshHome, great job on the finishing. Now I can have sweet dreams imagining my solid-wood-bay-window-cum-bench perched against my 3-quarter window in all its majesty & will have absolutely no qualms about it being one of the attraction pieces of my beloved scandinavia living area... Oh for estimates sake, this piece is probably about 1.6m long I think... Agar-ration. Oh yes, continuation on WALL PLANTERS (from Post #126): Sorry for the abrupt change in topic, but I finally managed to dig up this picture of the side-view of the proposed wall planter rack that #CalvinTan drew up for me... shows how the planter rack will lean against my living area wall... I thought I would still post it up here anyway for better conceptualisation of the design that he proposed to us... The pots will actually hang on the horizontal nyatoh light-coloured wood rods.. makes for easy arrangement & will be convenient for us to re-locate the plants to sunny areas and back...
