Hi i got it from oddyssey @ $180. that's the only one they have. i've came across ladders in other colors at other shops..but sorry i can't recall where i saw them now. old already so my memory is failing me. -
to minimise wire mess, maybe you'll like to consider the eubiq system

Cheap looking furniture can look wonderfully gorgeous if u know how to work your magic on them
-
Haha! I think the wooden furniture at commune is fine. But take note their furniture are fabricated overseas so delivery may not be as fast.I'm just unlucky la!

hi makan not a significant increase. about $4,000 more these are the extra items: - full height bookcase (open + closed shelving) - upgrade kitchen tiles to cement tiles (originally it was $3.80psf. i think the cement tiles with sealant cost about $9psf - $10psf? - add/replace 4x door frames - build hollow block in bathroom - add door closer - upgrade 1 x veneer door to nyatoh door - change from half glass to full glass door despite alan's lack of coordination & delays, i must add in a good word for him: he is an honest guy. there's really no hidden cost in his quote & he has billed me as it is. and i believe he has given me some discounts. his prices are really competitive. all the other contractors/IDs quoted me $45 - $55k. There's a saying that goes: you pay peanuts, you get peanuts. quality of the renovation works carried out by alan's workers is definitely not compromised - not saying is perfect but it's good for that kind of price i'm paying. the only downside is, as i repeat, his lack of coordination, delays & forgetfulness. -

my contractor sent me the bill 2 months after i shifted in. i'm glad the final amount is within my budget at less than $40k! next up: housewarming in 2 weeks! -
ya cement is porous. that's why there are so many stains on my cement tiles now
