Ripples

thanks bd, glad you like it too. home & decor magazine has expressed interest. let's see if my em makes it to the cover.

It has been awhile since I updated my blog. I've been working on the touch-ups and decoration after HO. Everything should be done by the end of this month. The plants will be moving in next week. My latest roommate, Marilyn:

my id ordered it from the painter. i think your painter will know where to get it. sorry, couldn't be of more help.

You made the right choice. It matches the color scheme of your living room. The all-black combo would have been too dark. don't forget to post your pics on Simon's Calypso Club page

my id told me that plastic wheels are better than rubber as they won't marks. there is a nice selection of wheels at Ikea if you haven't checked it out.

I think the dual color looks really nice. Glad you changed the fabrics in time

yes, it is stable. when you buy the wheels, make sure 2 of them have locking device to prevent the table from moving.

hi discoburg being minimalist doesn't have to be uncluttered and bare. the concept is to address the light, space and functionality in your design. so don't be afraid to decorate. there are many themes to minimalism. i've opted for a tropical minimalism theme to complement the greenery around me. still work in progress for me to complete the look. like your idea of the wiw. good use of an irregular space.

hi fini the tables are standard dining tables from ScanTeak. my carpenter sawed off part of the legs and screwed on the castor wheels. you can buy the wheels from any hardware store.

hi bachie my ladder is from barang barang. my mirror is from royal glass pte ltd.

you looking for something this big?

i think you found it. i got it from ikea. yes, i saw the 'out of stock' sign the other day too. the green throw was from cellini on consignment.

Thanks all for the wonderful comments. I'll post new photos after I add the finishing touches to the rooms. Meanwhile, you can see the "Before & After" transformation on my blog.

Good move Simon. I second it! We can have the same, but it doesn't have to look the same. Here's my combo:

i got the same mirror for my common toilet/powder room. good choice

i agree. nice design esp the hidden doors.

comfort design furniture. go to their new eunos showroom. they've a better selection of chairs and sofas. you can have a choice of color for the cushion. the green is quite nice too.

good for you. be adventurous

Hooray, I'm done unpacking. The balcony is cleared and cleaned. Now the fun begins with the finishing touches.

barang barang. i think they still have it at either plaza singapura or marina sq.

Going to take a long shower and a break from unpacking:

Here're my pics of curtain and blinds:

no, i didn't turn on the plc lights the birdcage lamp is for mood lighting.

Yipee! Another room done. Guest Bedroom or WIW - not sure what to call it

this isn't my main wardrobe. the left side is actually my "book shelf" and the the right is for my shirts only. there is no drawer below the hanging shirts. the left curtain should be drawn to cover the clothes: i've a wall-to-wall wardrobe in the next room for the rest of my clothes. unpacking the other room today.
