Thanks!... come over if U R near... give U a christmas gift & maybe help me unpack!! *chuckle* Jus kidding

Actually if U look at these 2 other pics.... U will know what I mean by abit 'over-size'.... aiyo.. nearly cannot fit!! Haha... thanks.... not the nicest looking fireplace here... but think one of the very few around in this renotalk.... Hmmm... wish I can change the topic title... which I dont know how... to "Fireplace Home in AMK"

Yeah... very comfy... my wife love it at sight.... cos if U removed the back cushion... there are still small polster to hug, sitting w both feets up. Hmmm... but the colour I choose is abit challenging.... cos once dirty... very visable

Finally... the sofa & LCD tv/ Sound Sys in yesterday.... Think I over size it leow..... I was sweating when they were putting up the sofa set!!! Errr... looks okie right?!

Made fr Fabric..... handmade art & craft

My son's favourite colour & insect... butterflies

Dont think they R related

Came back fr meeting up with ID, was quite a peaceful resolution... tho I didnt ask him to bring his workers... he brought in his tiler & carpenter to see the defect. Tho the TV wall gap cannot be remove, he ask his expert carpenter to do a clean party job, before touch up with paint work. The tiler was patience & explain to me how tile sometime have abit of alightment issue; accepted his explaination, and proposal to do a re-tile for one of the piece on Mon. The wooden door one cannot be help as it is alrdy installed & painted..... even tho I told ID I'm willing to accept it... he insisted that he will get his worker in on Mon to party up the crack line. Overall, I see that ID is doing his best to rectify all defects. Things happen... but with the responsiveness & willingness to make good..... giving his competitive quote for the reno,.... it is not all wasted. Welll... watch yr project carefully for the carpenter works, ask question if in doubt when U see the workers carrying out the job. Then... should have no prob. Doors wise... get your own supplier. (dont add into yr quote)

Wow!! Serious?! My block quite near yours leh! After reading yr posting... I immediate called up my door supplier (jus change main door).. to order a computer key cylinder

I would jus say, average.... Again... it was lamination problem.. but this time.. the worker discovered it & realise cannnot hide... thus change it even before we discover it. Even then..... I found a very very small hole on the side of the wordrobe lamination.... assume it got 'knock' in the midst of carpentry works....(how careless of the workers!!) One more thing to add... If U have any changing of wooden doors, etc... do deal with supplier directly... U can be assure of a better deal, & more quality job. (I found one at Toa Payoh, industrial park Lor 8) I have a crack line on the new door that they provided... which again.. I discovered too late, aft they installed and painted it.

Hi Figo, Jus a update and reminder for U when carpentary works starts... Watch their work closely.... for I find their workmanship not very good... and even tho I find Vincent & Alan pretty responsive & positive, their carpenters works dont seem to be very skilful. Most of my carpenter works r okie... but the TV wall had a lamination joining gap, (small gap)... which I only discover aft the fireplace bricks are all in...... which make it very difficult for me 2 ask them to re-do the TV wall. The corrective action was to use marker to hide the gap. (I'm not happy tht the workers did not highlight it but instead wait for us to find out) Alan explained that even the experience workers may have workmanship prob.... which I dont quite buy that.. if it is done wrongly... then jus have to do it again at their cost... not try to hide error made. Alan meeting tonight to sort out all the defect prob.... (I dont blame him... jus not happy with the carpentary workmanship)..... doubt he can solve the TV wall problem.

Here is the newly added wall decor for my children's room... Son's Daughter's

Hi LittleDevil, Agree with most of the forumers here... indeed... a very nice renovated home... simple yet classy.... do share more pics when more items are been added.

Thanks for the kind words and thoughts.... indeed... it is good to know that there R forumers who give encouraging words (yrself, pinkpetter, ilmare612, mwerkz, etc)... U all made my days.. thank you thank you Errr... jus a curious question.. can dog be ever train not to do 'it' when they get near a tree?? *chuckle* Agree that it is not easy for the neighbours.. even tho each time I pass by them.. they very slient one..... Hopefully my little Christmas gift will give them some smile.. as well as a good start to our neighbouring relationship. jukemax is a client of my current ID... who I visited before I engage them, and she happen to stay jus 2 blocks away fr my holding up place (mum's place).... soo... she is definitely my neighbour.. hahaha.... U want to be my neighbour too??

Thanks pinkpetter..... glad U share my view. Enjoy yr blog too... though I dont reply one... but yr blog is one of those that I always read.

It is interesting that there are always ppl in forum who is childish enough not to respect other's ppl view/reno/design If given unlimited $$$ ofcos.... anyone can ask for the sky, some ppl dont understand that. I'm okie that not everyone like what they see, design, colour, etc...... it is okie to say "I don't like your design"... I respect that....... but for idiot to use words like "waste money", "stupid" etc... is a very shallow person. Hopefully he/she will not meet forum ppl who give he/she "name".

Santa... haha.. like the sound of it... will definitely try to 'trick' my children in believing that it will happen!!!... LOL Well.. we will definitely be the santa ourselves... as we plan to give the neighbours around us each a little christmas gift.... sort of a introduction of ourselves.. as well as for enduring all the noise during the reno period.

Yea... I thought abt that too... & was looking at wall decr, probably jus black in colour; pic of the flame.... but didnt really find any good one on the net..... soooo... jus keep looking.... not very impt one... everyone knows it's fake anyway.... haha...
