Hi Pipsqueak, Found your nice blog when I was googling on reviews for the vento fino fan. Any feedback on the speed of the fan? Is it strong enough to cool down an entire room? Also, just curious... can you share how and where you placed the fan in your master bedroom?

any takers?

Have already paid for an extra mattress but do not need it. Single size Anti-mite, anti fungal 10 yr warranty BRAND NEW and have not been delivered yet. Original Price $599, willing to sell at $450.

Hi, what brand and model is this? Pls let me know the price for 48". Is the light bright enough for a bedroom?

Hi How much did you pay for ur full height mirror? I am planning a feature mirrorbwall too but was advised to frame it up... Btw, I love subway tiles too!

oh dear... i'm so sorry to read all of this... you must be awfully stressed. would it help if u went thru ur MIL to get to them so they will get off their butts? Also, about your furniture, if the stores can't hold anymore, what if they just deliver to ur home with the furnitures all wrapped up? I'm not sure if it's a gd or bad idea... but considering that carpentry shouldn't be too messy cos everything is pre-fabricated, maybe it's ok? Otherwise, can rent a personal storage, and ask the carpenter to bear the charges. hope things will pick up and end soon, nicely. hang in there. *hugs

Haha I love turquoise too... Tiffany blue! Did u compare hong liang's price to K's? N haha ur husband is funny! Yeah lah a tad cheesy, but it's sweet of him, isn't it? Hurhur. I'm planning to mix diff sized frames behind my couch but not sure if it's a gd idea cos that's where my brick wall will be. The thought of drilling holes in it makes me nervous heh

The decking looks fab!

Nice dining table n fridge! what model is the fridge? Thx in advance!

Ack I havent planned my lighting... *stressed... Hehehe hmm let's just say I hope to confirm soon by then I will update who my contractor is

I love grey! Good choice for the mbr. I don't think it's dark at all. Perfect! Thx for sharing ur aircon trunking pics. I've been wondering how mine shld be since I'm hacking that mbr wall too. Who did u engage for ur aircon n hw much did u spend? I have not done my research on aircon yet...

Hi Paloma... really love ur home! you made me reconsider my white brick wall wishlist Any feedback on the relite fan? I saw it online before, I prefer the design to KDK's cos it's more retro looking but how's the speed like? Quite concerned cos my new hse can be pretty hot with the sun's rays shining in... Also, hehe I'm going around asking for advice on Lbox... Since your living room size is similar to mine... want to check, are you using cove lights at all? How is your layout for your Lbox? I am hesitant on cove light but wondering if just LED lights are enough...

Ok, we always know we wanted an eclectic living area... but for our mbr, I was tossing between romantic shabby chic or magical Moroccan... with my rustic Laura Ashley laminate flooring... Why Moroccan? We visited Morroco and Andalucia, Spain for our honeymoon and we loved the beauty and serenity of the places. We especially loved Tangier (northern Morocco where we stayed in a Riad) and Granada in Andalucia where we stayed on the hill of Al Hambra. Shabby chic is a theme I've always liked, not overly girly shabby chic, but simple shabby chic... but finding distressed wood furniture is a lot tougher than I thought, not to mention expensive! Hmmm... decisions decisions...

Hmm anyone knows if there is a quick and easy way to reply to many comments? My "multiquote" function doesnt seem to work... Anyway, I'm sooo happy to say that last weekend must have been my very first fruitful weekend on the reno. Previously, I had several dilemmas: Flooring for Living area I wanted grey wood tile flooring so much (i visited LSH, SBH and Hafary) but my husband was not too keen on it. He wants bigger tiles so that our small home will look bigger as we are not opening up our kitchen. He did say that if we were to get the longer wood tiles (15 x 90) he wouldn't mind. But choosing that long tile is too costly, I decided to shelve the idea. I also liked cement screed flooring but the husband said, later our relatives would think that we can't afford tiles So I decided to give in and opt for matt white tiles... we went to hafary, concluded on the tile. Then when I went there again, another salesperson told me that the tile we chose was out of stock! Pffftt! What a waste of time! Then I went to SBH and found a couple of tiles I really like! It's like concrete, yet it's not too dark so it fulfills the husband's requirement. So Living room flooring is settled! yeay! Flooring for Bedrooms Initially I wanted tiles through out the house, but I see my granny sitting on the cold tiles of my current house, I think it would be better to use laminates for the bedroom flooring. I didn't want to use vinyl as it is thinner than laminates and don't want to worry about popping tiles and possibility of mold growing underneath. We checked out a few brands... but we finally fell in love with a few designs from Pergo Family and Laura Ashley. OMG! I just love the real wood feel of LA's laminates! I immediately picked out a rustic design for my mbr and the sales person kept saying how daring I was. His comment struck me. I showed my selection to my colleagues and they said the same, so at times, I second guess myself. So much for being "daring" :OP Any thoughts? I don't know about others, but somehow the flooring helps the start of your planning...

Hi pinkwhale! Hmm what brand of downlights are u using? Not LED? how come so fast went off... So you still think cove light is best eh? I'm afraid of lizards chilling in the cove leh... :OS hehe not yet but I already have the person in mind )

Thx Mike! Haha I haven't quite decided yet! Thanks Jaskel! Sure need all the help I can get from fellow forumers )

Thx casa! I'm also taking my time... like you ;OP

Hello! It's me again... I noticed that you did not do cove lighting... Do you have a shot of your entire ceiling? And a night shot of your living room? I'm planning to just use Lbox but I'm wondering if the light is enough. I'm planning a ceiling fan too.

Looking good. I love how you put ikea accessories to good use. Creative!

Like the super slim fridge... What brand n model isit? Can't see ...

Haha you know how all the heat from ironing can make you bothered... hopefully ironing in the windy service yard wouldn't make it such a chore. Yeah I kinda have this plan of making the service yard a full fledged laundry area. But we'll see if that materialises hehe...

I love varying frames on a wall... Quirky is pretty! But who am I kidding? I need washable covers!

Gee.. it really feels good to let all these thoughts out of my mind hehe... Here are some photos that I love... Love the airy feel and the punches of colours in the decorations...
