Hi, may I know where u got the original version of the first light? Mind sharing the price here or PM me pls? Thanks!

Bengologist, was it a false ceiling that they fixed the lights to? Or concrete ceiling? Looks scary.. your incident got me all paranoid of my upcoming lights above my dry kitchen granite top!

congrats love to see EM transformation. Where is yours?

Many thanks Wisann

Hi wisann, love the cosy feel. May I know what brand/model your ceiling fans are? Thanks!

Hi, I will be installing mainly Venetian blinds in my home, any rec vendor? I need mostly blue colored ones (due to FS), need a vendor with gd selection of blue colors TIA!

Silly me.. Today I was reading thru this mth's Home & Decor supplement, and the last feature was a home at Luxus Hills, an inter terrace unit too. In the text, it was mentioned that they took down a wall in the MBR to create a WIW.. then, it struck me, the wall (btn the wardrobe and main sleeping area can be hacked???) I had 'assumed' that it was a structural wall (though it looked too thin / beam less to be one) cos the very first time I went to a show flat for one of the phases, the agent told me it was a structural wall (I hated the wall! Cos we don't watch TV in our MBR so it's really useless).. Then I quickly called the developer main con and he told me that wall can be hacked! LOL.. I was so happy and told my main con I WANTED TO HACK THE WALL! They tried gently to dissuade me and told me about the pros of it but I told them it was non-negotiable cos I wanted an unencumbered and spacious MBR hahah

Shopping ard for lights and ceiling fans. Anyone knows if any distributor in SG (or MY) carries Artemis by Minka Aire ceiling fans? Which lighting shop has competitively-priced and gd quality PLC down lights? I need a ton..

congrats, very detailed documentation of your ID search!

Hope u manage to find something which suits! Love the TV console concept, very unique!

June, Commune has a dark wooden top table with black metal legs. Very industrial. Price of table alone is under $2K. The owners of the EM at Lor Ah Soo (they have a blog here too) bought one for their home

Hi Bengologist, ya not giving them my actual keys, will disarm the autogate and let them use their own padlock for it.. else troublesome for me.. Missyliang young ah-ma! Actually I prefer something smaller but hub likes the space (though its spread over several levels). How young are you exactly? So good life, have grandson who's old enuf to teach u how to post, retired & enjoying life (and reno) & healthy enough to climb stairs! Even I have to take extra healthy wholesome 'supplements' to 'cure' my knee from taking care of my tod!

My reno will only start proper on 17th June.. my main con promised me that everything will be in time *cross fingers* Next Thurs will meet them to hand over my keys & they will start laying protection (takes two days!)

Haven't gone up since Sat, developer tying up loose ends for defects, tmrw gotta catch the supervisor to highlight a few more problems.. Meanwhile, thru his recommendation I got the developer sub con Ah Leong to tile up the grass patch in the backyard.. previously the area behind the drain covers were (overgrown) cow grass turfing & much-hated ants were nesting there! Looks much much better now.. Tmrw gonna call Ah Leong up and ask him whether he's gonna remove the cement marks and get the paint from developer to touch up the boundary wall

Wow I love your layout.. Kitchen + Study can combine to be huge kitchen cum island cum dining area.. Great! And U are super hip for a granny!

looks very user friendly! where did u get this from? thanks!

Finally, the defects rectification by the developer are moving along, thanks to the very nice main con liaison foreman.. the parquet will be all touched up, sanded down and 're-oiled' and left to dry until Sat.. Sat morning, meeting contractor to go thru all designs and finalize nitty-gritty details & laminate selection; evening time, meet with electrician to go through and finalize lighting plan.. and I think Sun gotta go buy the lights le! It's really shaping up to be a busy busy week (and my hubby is traveling for the next 2 wks)! Hopefully the ceiling and electrical works can start next Wed *fingers crossed* Really gan cheong..

nice, where is this from, may I ask? Thanks!

Get the Miele.. very solid.. love mine One of the quietest machine and comes with heap filter and very sturdy disposable bag which can last for a long time.. I used to think bag less vacuums were gd but realized if u have to empty the cavity with the dust then u have to breathe in all the dust and dust mites etc.. yikes

Thanks Retchlow! Actually my main con is mainly for carpentry, painting and ceiling / electrical works. I am coordinating most of the other stuff like grilles, security, curtains, awnings etc BTW, love the convenient location of your cosy home!

shortlisting this Mango wood coffee table from CB2.. the only piece I liked from the whole store haha

Considered the Philippe Starck Masters chairs on sale at Space, but hub wasn't keen on it.. The Green Chairs above were super comfy.. the plastic is 100% recycled and recyclable and moulds to your back and is springy.. best for restless ppl like me haha

Finalized our dining chairs yesterday, bought the M114 'Green Chair' from Granfunkt at 20% off (GSS, min $600/650 purchase iirc) Composite pix (the best I could do) with my dining table and bench

I am currently looking for personal recommendations for: - Invisible grilles - Wrought Iron sliding gates - Curtains and blinds (those with very easy pulling mechanism especially) - Retractable awnings - Polycarbonate awnings - Landscaping - Pest control Pls do post here if you have any good vendors to recommend! Thanks!

Hi, which ID did you choose? Will be fun! For how long will be u staying at your temp lodging? U will be going to JB to get lights? Which shops? Hub worried abt security in JB and not keen to go..
