Sorry bro, have not installed it yet and yes, renovation is still on-going as ID refused to do detailed drawings till ceiling was up and went through 2 months of ding dong on the carpentry details after that. Finally doing carpentry now and because of the sheer amount, ID claimed that 2 teams of carpentry men were deployed on site. Well, I got to see loads of bare bodied men these few days and would say that all of them are really very skilled and took pride in finishing each piece of carpentry in their charge. All the carpenters are very polite too and very considerate at giving leeway to a matron like me asking for minor rectifications on-site. We visited Gary & he was very good at demo & explanations. He even sent his man to have a site consultation with my ID on how this Vesta GL-988 is to be installed. He also provided a sample water pipe & pipe bolt to be used in water-tight securing the pipes going through our concrete/silestone counter top so that holes be drilled correctly. All these without having to pay for any deposit beforehand. So I highly recommend him.

Went to Mattress Atrium branch at the Furniture Mall along Beach Road and boy, loads of hard sell talk and using the tactic that they are honest and kept chasing us away by asking us to order from other shops since could get a lower price. Even though leather sample given stated that our chosen color need not charge extra, he said tagged wrongly & proceeded with add-on charges. We wonder samples were there for so long surely not now then discovered tagged wrongly right? The sales guy got worked up and impatient when we said Dunlopillow don't charge extra for increase in storage bed height. Common on, it's consumer's right to press for lower prices and it's up to sales guy to convince us that his is the best deal right? He got so worked up that he kept using the same tactic to ask us order elsewhere but we already visited his shop many times & really wanted to place order liao but he no see it. Then he said leather only for front of headboard, the back & bed frame are PU/PVC else another round of add-on charges. Next he said must pay in full then can order else please order elsewhere that's when I smell fish. If he sells good stuff, surely customers will willingly pay up difference upon delivery right? Why he so afraid? Never ever pay full in advance else get no service so we up & out the door & within 15 minutes, promptly ordered a full leather king size storage bed & a mattress from Englander a floor below. Sandy's English is not fluent but she gave very good service and really honest & sincere in wanting our business for she not only match her competitor Mattress Atrium price plus all the customization we wanted, she also gave us 100% real leather with our chosen color for all areas that can be seen including the bed frame plus absorption of GST which the other wanted to charge us 50% GST chargeable! We highly recommend Sandy from Englander on the second floor of The Furniture Mall Beach Road.

Thanks for pointing out and yes, it's painted, only first coat so extremely uneven. This is how the living rm ceiling looks like: Is this mirror nice? Worth while getting for my walk-in wardrobe? Everyday dress up with it should feel very happy right?

Thanks Battle. Very slow progress. Just met resilience floor guy and he said can't lay flooring till many other things done so another 2-3 weeks later. Will be ordering all lightings this weekend. Now gotta search for Roman curtain vendor, any lo bang? So none of you want to accompany me today for a FOC cooking demonstration by a chef using the latest combi steam oven? Sad, going alone then. Some more teaser photos of current status: New MBR: Living Rm:

Ordered Hitachi Fridge, De Dietrich Induction Hob 38cm Continuum & this oven, anyone recognise the model? Never know so difficult to choose an oven so finally decided to choose a combi steam oven as wanted healthy eating, so my reno budget is officially broken. Very long story in oven selection but basically found that the young sales personnel in main official big dealers are very courteous when dealing with you face to face but see you no up unless you have Tai Tai buffoon hairstyle dripping with bulging diamonds so will not invite you for product experiences & give all sorts of excuses. Non-official small ones with mature sales staff that actually utilise the ovens daily give better service, will tell the truth when doing product comparison and willing to match prices too if you bulk purchase. I was willing to order a more expensive brand but was bowled over by the fantastic features of the slightly cheaper one. Anyone keen to accompany me in experiencing a product experience by Chef Jimmy Chok tomorrow near Somerset MRT at 3pm? PM me.

Sorry IPineapple, Haven't purchased yet, but from experience, Optiled main office do have a very nice showroom & if you book appointment with them, an experience technical/sales staff will walk you through the various lights & give suggestion. They'll also email quote to you and provide you with lighting simulation if you can decide on light types & provide floor plan. If you are real keen, Optiled is also willing to go on site to provide overall lighting suggestion & site measurement for the light simulation. Only problem is they are very very slow as they only got back to me 2 months after visited them! They are very technical people so I do have trouble interpreting their lighting simulation result as they got problem trying to explain in layman terms. Good luck!

Just want to buy a bottom storage bed frame & headboard in full leather but seems very difficult to find reliable vendor. So if don't buy from Expo, where else to buy from?

This is fiber optics to create starry starry night effect. Intend to install this in my MBR ceiling but can only afford 120 fiber optics, unlike your video have so many so must be expensive. Haven't purchased yet, do let me know lobang too?

Pass few months went round many expos held in Singapore Expo but the bed frames & bed headboards are all made in PVC, but I'm used to using leather one. Please advice where can I get a real leather storage bed frame & headboard? Anyone got good lobang?

Wall constructed, cement patching done, aircon trunking done, wiring done and false ceiling going up within these 3 days hopefully. Very ugly currently so no photo upload. After CNY will do cement screeding, follow by painting then vinyl laminate. Also went to source for lights so confirm using mostly OptiLED with 3 years warranty which not even Philips brand can match, only 1 year. From our own sourcing of light shops, total lighting cost approximately five digits inclusive of 120 fiber optics for starry starry night MBR ceiling, with the LED strips taking up a third of cost. ID's lighting shop wanted to charge us 1.8 times on house brands compared to our own light shop, with only 1 year warranty! DH extremely unhappy with the steep chopping. Already kanna chopped when ID brought us to his bathroom shop but luckily I smart & insisted they put "Allow exchange & cancel of any items" on invoice so they prefer to keep us happy by matching the lower costings we managed to secure elsewhere, but still more expensive by S$1K!. As long as reno turns out to our satisfaction, a little $ into ID pocket is fine, makes him happy. Welcome to reno circle Knight78, no problem, PMed you. Very tired, yesterday collapsed & took an afternoon nap of an hour! I have been camping outside our unit for 3 days as ID & contractors got loads of decisions for us to make. Sometimes we travelled total of 4 times within a day to the unit, on top of searching for lights, appliances etc, in addition to hand feeding my chinchilla kit every 2-3 hours whose mum got no milk for him. Happy late nights & all over sourcing!

Confidential, I wanted many things in Kitchen so end up very cramp, not enough counter top now. Was very ashamed of myself when watching Junior Chief on TV for I can't even bake a cake compared to those kids so want a good oven now. Here're more kitchen appliance teasers: Changing the Alkaline Water Dispenser to the Vesta GL 988 instead of the previously mentioned undermount type due to it being the latest newest 9 plate model, healthier water to drink. So welcome cluttered counter top with 2 drill holes for inlet & outlet drainage. Acid water to be collected below sink for floor cleaning etc: Bought BlancoSubline 500-U Silgranit undermount kitchen sink, almost same material as Silestone so non-scratchable unlike stainless steel sink. Required a very small size so ended buying designer line costing double of normal size, very heart ache. Don't know can install Blum servo drive at bottom to create those desired sink drawers? Matching the German sink is the German Blanco sink mixer with pull-out tap & undermount soap dispensers but ID casted holes too closely , need to redo which they are going to fill up wrong holes & drill new holes further apart. Luckily still got Silestone top so should remain strong sink counter:
