haha CharisOng, u very creative leh!! super like the idea of pasting stickers …. didn't think of tt at all …. lol but maybe u can tell your mom W = wu gong; M = mao mao chong …. either one it will be eaten by the rooster … haha maybe she can rem easier lyk tt

I actually decided to buy display cabinet only after everything is up so I knw where can I put ... cos I'm afraid to cramp up up the living room as mentioned earlier ... But well, somehow we just have the purchasing kick ytd. we ended up with a display cabinet n an office chair within 15mins. Anyway I bought the $399 one with a further 10% discount. ID says he will finish up everything by this week ... hope so! Starhub is coming down to do installation this Fri n I'm all rdy to tidy up the house with the new dyson vacuum cleaner ... hahahaha still can't believe I buy such expensive vacuum cleaner ... hehe

thanks vct! will go lookout for bedsheets at OG hehe ...

ya lo me too! i'm been slping on this single bed mattress for almost 20 years and the bedsheet is from downstairs convenient shop. the bedsheet is very soft because it was washed for the n number of times years ... only now when i need to buy my own bed, den i got a budget shock .. haha ... hmmm to me bed is a good splurge ... so i was alr convinced to invest well for a good night sleep

YEAH~~ have fun renovating and shopping! hope to cya ard in the estate soon

LOL .... do u knw nowadays bedsheets are very expensive .... i was quite shock when i first started browsing for bedsheets ... $220 may sound very pricey ... but if u compare a normal decent King size bedsheet alone alr ~$100 (u can go down to as low as $50 for very rough material and $30? for pasar malam style) Vct's one is tencel + it comes with a quilt cover .... haha tt's wad i think ...

Vct! $220 for king size Tencel bedsheet set not very ex leh ... can i jus ask what brand u buy & isit plain colours? I oso wan to go OG to check it out le hehe N ahhboi, I lyk ur platform bed~~~ hope u faster show the final product

here u go neighbour! i think its shld b correct ... hahaha ... ltr i check my hse when i go visit to cfm ..

hahaha~! lucky mine doesn't hav the dora images for the tiles pattern so not that confusing. i love the dora printed chips the most~ hehe we went to taiwan last year and been to the dora 100 exhibition. saw the mj tiles there and wanted to buy. but didn't in the end cos no animal tiles the design was more classy n feel more original (haha 心理作用 since its from the exhibition ) ur kitty one hav animal tiles?

thanks guys for the encouragement! n i'm sad to hear that some of ur reno r delayed jus lyk mine .... vct! ur sand will come soon don worry~~ seems lyk we r all on the same boat ... lets all hang in there for awhile more yes i agree with u ahhboi! lucky i have a place to stay too! ... maybe that's also the reason they didn't prioritize our reno over other concurrent projects? today hub is gg to drop by while carpenter & ID discuss the things to rectify ... hub is gg to "stress" them alittle .. hope the reno will continue to be smooth from now onwards!

Hi Charis, I totally udn how u feel n wad u hv been tru ... cos I oso forfeited the deposit for the 1st ID b4 engaging this current one. Whenever i recalled the incident my heart pain! ... but nevertheless I still believe I made the right choice n so will u~ Hav a smooth reno journey ahead! can't wait to c ur sharing

Things have been happening very slowly in the house ... We think the carpenter is v slow! N hub is starting to get irritated Actually our hse has been progressing quite swiftly until the carpentry stage. The hse was actually left untouched for 1 wk after the 1st coat of paint ... b4 we start seeing carpentry work to b up .... though the remaining task was above schedule, this delayed us in the end. Workmanship wise I think is ok. But the carpenter really hv a bad sense of design. The mistakes r majority happening at the design side. For eg, our mbr wardrobe hv some lines design ... so the line from door to door doesn't align at all! Of cos this door can function perfectly fine (tts y I say workmanship is ok) but we definitely can't accept such ugly doors Anyway we told the ID, last sat, some of the mistakes we found. At tt time I still think it's ok becos I expect some mistakes for rectifying ... n on top of tt my ID accepted it willingly ... but OMG I can't believe tt the carpenter is only gonna meet up my ID tml to discuss wad to change etc .... OH MY GOD it's almost a week! ... We still thot we could start tidying up the place this wkends... n it doesn't help when the furniture start calling u to cfm delivery dates ... Hub was really pissed tt nth was done for so many days .. To make things worse ... All the remaining jobs lyk touching up paint n tiles grout will only b done after the carpentry is up... Hope this slooooowwww process will b over soon. It's alr the last lapse! I jus need to b alittle more patient ... *breath in-breath out*

i keep them in the storeroom where i am staying now. its not that huge to store, just a rainshower, thats y i buy it 1 year ago. hehe this was actually a "testing buy" as its my first taobao purchase back then. it cost ~$160 inclusive of air shipping. sea will be cheaper.

hi vct~ i forgot the price and actually the quotation is not kept by me. haha .... sorry =X will try to get back to u asap. and paiseh again i didn't have pics for that ... they first have a wood backing before they mount the mirror on top. then they add a T5 at the bottom for the light. the wooden sides are wrap with laminates.

hihi, haha yes taobao shopping is very fun! i would say i'm glad i have learn my chinese well during my schooling hahaha now it benefits me! as i have mentioned in the earlier post. the direct link for the exact rainshower set that i bought is gone ... but the shop and the brand is there still. i guess the shop have changed the model alr .. i bought it very long ago like last year actually haha..

Hi jacky~~ i'll comment on my ID at the end of the reno in brief, so far, i think the workmanship is generally ok .... i haven't start scrutinizing the house but already found some mistakes just by my usual weekend house visit. but what i like about my ID is that he is willing to accept the mistakes and made changes accordingly.... cause i read about some ID/contractors who refused or scolded you when u ask them to rectify ... but he is not the kind of guy who will update u with photos on whatsapp.

Hi! i bought it from taobao...

trying to achieve hotel-style toilet rainshower when switched on. water pressure is ok. sink + vanity with light effect from under the mirror.

Hi neighbour! I dono how to reply ur comment on fb n add a photo using mobile ... so I giv u here ok? Lol This is the original elect n light point position provided by hdb. Lol i hope u can decipher Cheers~~

Hehe thnx. Think lotsa pple out there doing scandi LOL! !

there is a gap between the study table and window, so the curtain will be full height there. whereas, settee side, curtain will rch the settee.

that's my fav too vct!

the biggest project in the house connecting settee and study table

Hi Songz~~ I can't find the exact link, guess the shop changes their model alr ... The nearest search is this... previously this series was part of the many others to choose frm in a single link n I bought another one: http://a.m.tmall.com/i8310301284.htm?spm=0.0.0.0&sid=3da7fbbfdff8cef7&pds=fromauc%23h%23shop Anyway it's the same shop tt I buy mine from so I would assume it's the same quality. Maybe u can browse the other rainshower design in the shop? It sells many more

hi neighbour! haha my toilet is very dark cause i use black and dark grey tiles. will try to take the photo of the full toilet when everything is done. overlaying the toilet cost me $2k+
