oldskool

no worries. haha if it was me, i w definitely get from the old uncle the price you've seen is pretty good, not sure if its worth your trip down to ubi in this case, but there are alot of other shops in that area like comfort furniture u can check out as well.

hey zihui nice hanging chair! u can also check out d'galleria for the hanging chair. they are at ubi techpark lobby b #01-22 they do mostly outdoor furniture a decent price I think cheers

at this point we are pretty much done with all wet works. we have quite a bit of cement items going on, including cement screed flooring, walls, cement top for all kitchen table top, oven & hob, as well as dining table. common toilet: master bedroom toilet: hob oven and dining table: kitchen tiles: we are pretty much left with plumbing and carpentry, almost there!

nice shower system u have there

thanks zihui, im sure your mission impossible is gonna turn out very possible! looking forward! hey lala, on the ph5, we are using energy savings, i gotta check the watts on this. same for the kitchen lamp and main living room light. on the nestum tin we are using incandescent, for the looks and also the fact we wont on this for long. the rest we have got philips led bulb in them. hope this helps! haha ya i think the new generation wont know of the blue mosiac tiles table these days. thanks!

nice lights! pics soon i hope

moving back on the reno...as we had a slightly longer living room area which is marked as the study area for most 5 rooms these days, we wanted to use that as a chill, and relax area. the initial plan was to build a platform, and throw a couple of bean bags on it. our ID however came up w a idea to have a bar island top, and we went with it. we wanted to have a feel of a place where we can seat have a cuppa or beer while surfing or watching soccer over the weekend. one thing that came to mind was to have it similar to what is slowing being phased out today at our void decks. those growing up in the 90s will probly remember the blue and white round concrete table, with a chess mosaic layout on it. so we went with that concept and came up with this : mosaic choosen: middle of mosaic table with simpsons tiles. being an avid fan of simpsons, these were added for a personal touch to the table. view from front entrance: power point at side of table for possibe coffee machine or other devices

hey hanafi, i got them from hock eng hin, opposite tiong bahru market. its a old school hardware shop with really friendly uncles. 71 seng poh rd. yea these are non existence these days with technology arent they i think it would be ok if used on a round table that seats maybe 4-5. anything bigger might not be bright enuff. then again, you can always change the bulb to a higher watt for brightness. hey zihui, yeah initially we thought of milo tins, but these days most of them came with a paper wrapper for the logo so we ended up with nestum which has the logo printed on the tin itself. hahah that G.O.D. mug will be applicable for all of us i guess

as much as we w like to have a original ph5, the cost and budget just doesnt allow. so we ended up with a replica one, which is looking really good, but at the same time the most ex light we spent on. we have this up in our bedroom, so that its the first thing we see when we wake and last thing we see when we sleep hahah we felt that the cable provided was too 'modern', and requested for them to change it to black. here's a pic of it installed in the room. again i must thank all the info shared from the various tblogs which i was stalking silently to get these info we also got inspired from a restaurant and decided to diy our entrance light with this: up on the ceiling: we actually had a more vintage looking nescafe, but it was pretty badly rusted, and we decided not to use it. but we have it still in the even if we wanna interchange them. this is the cheapest light in our place! i dont think it's most people cup of tea but we felt it blended in quite well, hanged near our vent blocks.

another big chunk of our time were spent on lights hunting. and this forum we found places that are quietly hidden in the neighbourhood w the lights that could fit our theme. i will let the pics do the talking. cage light for the corridor: cage light with glass cover for the bathrooms: black and white cables used for these lights: light for bomb shelter: kitchen light: we also went around search for more lights at different shops, ended up buying from 3 different shops and also got the main living room light from bali. more pics to follow. cheers

hey vanessa, yea they bring a different feel to the place. i've seen yours and they are really nice! no worries, i was stalking many others blogs silently before hahaha thanks! they w a must have from the start for us when we saw them.
