June

Hello Mrs Foo, you are finally back in action ! Happy to see that you finally got your dining lights! I'm waiting to see the huge pipe go up on your brick wall. If you get the award for longest reno , I must be second runner up! I thought I would be more on the ball after I shifted in but it turned out that I was even more lazy! I also have no time to go shopping for furnishings. By the time I knock off, I can only go mustafa

First night in my new pad... It feels kind of surreal... photo.JPG by BachelorettePad, on Flickr

At last, the final item was moved in today - ME ! And that was easy - I just took my handbag and walked 6 min from my parents place. Will post pix when I get the place in order. And got to get some rest before the next exciting stage begins...(Yes, the job hasn't ended for my ID)

Er.. No I'm not! Hahaha... But my job involves current affairs..

You are a teacher! No wonder you have such a big bookcase in your living room.. My friend wanted to buy me a book case and I had to drop obvious hints that I got no books at home.. Haha! I read so much at work already.. Don't really want to see books at home.

Haha! I don't have expensive taste.. I have a budget too.. That's why take so long to hunt for best bargains and compare prices. My best purchases are actually my ikea sofa, my muji bed and my oven (all of which I bought at a discount). But it means having to wait patiently for sales to happen or for kind people to give you shopping vouchers as housewarming gifts. In the case of my oven, I waited six months before purchasing it at a big discount..My friends said I have limited money but lots of patience.. .. U have a great weekend ! (weekends are actually work days for me

you will be surprised..but taobao is not cheap for industrial design furniture...after including shipping, its comparable to prices in spore.

Hi there, unpacking has stalled!..Four more boxes left but i often get distracted by things like the tv and shopping for furnishings. I've been trying out my new oven too. So basically..i've been doing everything except unpacking! I bought the bed from Muji. Also hunting for dining chairs. Its so tough searching for industrial design dining chairs. They are just too expensive and limited in design. I found some overseas but the shipping cost is almost equivalent to the price of the chair.

Hi, anyone interested in this light left behind by the sellers? I had wanted to keep it but it's really not matchy with my decor. Pls pm me if interested. photo.JPG by BachelorettePad, on Flickr photo.JPG by BachelorettePad, on Flickr

Put up the MBR curtains today... Have also decided on my bed after a very very long period of consideration... photo.JPG by BachelorettePad, on Flickr Now I just need a bedside table or drawers..

Ok.. I think this may sound a bit silly.. But I'm not sure if I dare to touch peacook feathers.. It will remind me of a peacook!! I don't dare to touch chicken feathers ...

Peacock feathers ?? That blue-ish green feather thingy ? Buy from where?

I want to try growing lemon grass. I read on Internet that lizards are scared of lemon grass. I'm terrified of lizards !

My Thai basil died on me! Perhaps my current place is too hot .. I bought mine from cold storage ..shall visit the nursery one of these days

No luck so far with edible plants...will try again in my new place

Your bedroom is so girly!! How did you persuade Mr E to accept all the pink and orange and red etc? Or does he like girly colours too? Haha...

My plants have started their move to the new home... But the problem is I have no idea where to place the few pots, and there are many more waiting to be shifted over. now they are hanging outside my main door...if you could figure out where the pot is against the backdrop of greenery.. photo.JPG by BachelorettePad, on Flickr In one corner of my balcony along with my unpacked boxes... photo.JPG by BachelorettePad, on Flickr On my kitchen countertop.. photo.JPG by BachelorettePad, on Flickr And even in the common bathroom... photo.JPG by BachelorettePad, on Flickr Think I need to start surfing websites on apartment landscaping... Talking about my common bathroom..that's the only part of the flat which was not renovated bcos the sellers overlaid the tiles five years ago and since they did not live there, the bathroom is very clean..like other parts of the house. I like the old school beige and brown tiles but I don't think ID likes it. He always gives me a strange look whenever I say my toilet is nice. .. Well, i hope some furnishings will bring out the character of this toilet. When I first saw the toilet, I could imagine it with some small black and white pictures from yesteryears.. As the reno progressed over the months, that image in my head became sharper.. And now I finally decided on how im going to decorate the toilet so that it will go well with my bistro-style kitchen! .. now I just have to find the time and the right accessories....

Hi, pm-Ed u

13 boxes, 6 done..7 more to go.... And even more things stuck on to-do list eg..bed, new locks, dining chairs/bench, curtains etc.

It is a real vintage bench salvaged from a school in India. so it's full of character! It's about 2.3m long and will be good as a dining bench when I have guests over. But bcos it's a real vintage piece.. I get a bit of creepy feeling..that's why I didn't buy it. many of the other items are actually brand new but made to look vintage.

Good to hear that! You guys deserve a good break after all this is over. My fren is facing an even worse problem with her ID. Her handover has been delayed for many many weeks and despite her serious talk with him, things haven't picked up much and it's still uncertain when the handover will be.

Mine looks okay... When you email the iPhone pix to your flickr account, you can choose which size you want.

it's LikeThatOne

You can switch to flickr!
