    Hi no, not BN. I used them for about 6 months but in my new wardrobe I cannot use them anymore because they are wide and when i hang my million clothes on them, i lose precious space. as such, i have to resort to the white plastic IKEA ones instead. these wooden ones look really grand but now when i need wardrobe space, cannot use already. it looks as good as new!

    Almost managed to fix my kitchen sink and faucet issues. Managed to find a plumber who can fix my Kohler faucet. But that's not the end of my issues I'm using a Kraus sink and it seems the regular bottle trap cannot fit on the underside. Anyone else using same sink and encountered the same problem?

    My uncle is also dealing with fengshui (but he's not chinese - go figure!), he has a shop in JB where he lives. Every few weeks he goes Thailand to get supplies. If he sees my MBR he sure hit the roof ten times. but i won't share the details here because he said sometimes it's not what you do that spoils the balance, but that other people know/talk about it that makes it bad.

    back in this thread to ask for help. my plumber don't know how to fix my Kohler tap from US. he says the threaded ring metal neck has no room to turn and cannot tighten to the top. anyone with any plumber contact that can help me please? EDIT: My Kohler tap fixed! Anyone has problem with bottle trap for Kraus sink? The size is bigger than usual so my other plumber say cannot use the regular one.

    Hi Harriette, Yup! But his plumber is a whole other story!

    I'm beginning to get very annoyed by my contractor's plumber. He's **** Ah Beng, takes no pride in his work (refer here) and when he's presented a problem, he never makes an effort to solve it but always want to the easy way out! I bought this Kohler faucet from Amazon and now he's having problems fixing it. Anyone has recommendations on other plumbers who have installed this before? There's an oval neck (as opposed to a regular round neck) which is preventing it from being wound to the top, I'm sure there is another solution. Sigh. He also has problems fixing my Ikea curtain rail.

    My pole system wardrobe in MBR from Closet Design. Product I think is good but the salesperson is terrible, she's doing admin from Mon-Thu and sales Fri-Sun. Design wise I don't think she came onsite to do, but she's the one who drew up the layout. Big mistake as you can see the top shelves are so close to the trunking that you can't keep much items. A lot of wasted space. The sliding doors will come in next week. Living room from few angles: White pendant light is from Chan Huat. I like the reflection of the craft wall through the study room glass. As if both sides also have craft wall!

    We moved in last Saturday! We brought along 50 boxes plus other things. Left the kids at my mum's for the weekend while I unpacked. Also because the house wasn't 100% ready. In fact, on day of move, there were painters and carpenters still doing work on Saturday. I just unpacked 5 of 50 boxes as the kitchen cabinets weren't ready to keep all the other items yet. So please pardon my lack of updates. I will also share our learning from the practical side of our designs. Some pics from 2 days before we moved in: Shoe cabinet. We chose walnut as the internal laminate as we have learnt that white will turn yellow eventually and show stains (unless you put a liner) and I can't stand scruff marks or little bits or dust. We also designed two drawers to keep socks and umbrellas. We also asked for a little enclave to keep keys and wallets (also came in handy yesterday when I ordered pizza for dinner!), and another enclave at the bottom to keep daily shoes. Turns out to be a really good idea because the doors are not full length then so I can try on a shoe and if I don't like it, I can just change without needing to open/close cabinet again. Also asked for ventilation "sieves" to allow air to circulate. The big door next to the shoe cabinet is the store room door. We also have switches so as we enter the house, we can switch on the cove lights in the living room. Powerpoint there is for when guests want to charge their handphone so they don't forget to take it back on their way out. Kitchen: Hood is up. Hob was pending the granite top installation then can fit it in. Love the look of the light against the teal subway tiles. Tallboy pantry units x 2. The whole look: Granite top was installed yesterday. Initally I asked for Black Galaxy then decided on Imperial Black but somehow when the order came in, it was Black Galaxy. Never mind, got bigger problems to deal with so left this be.

    Thanks Makanology for the heads up. Happy to know that it actually works! I was just planning to use it as a decorative piece. No problem re TB In the end I did not restore my dining table because the few restorers in this country charges very high so I sold my dining table. My bed however I have opted for a white coat of paint, will update this weekend when it comes back from the factory. Harriette, I don't know if he told you this but the carpenter is his brother. I find the quality is good, but all my internals are Blum so not much can go wrong there. But overall, I'm happy with the works.

    my black galaxy quote from contractor is SGD110 per foot run. re scratching, yes you won't scratch with scissors but there are other culprits: rice cooker, air fryer, kettle --> all cannot drag across the surface. my prev maid scratched mine by dragging the tupperware rice container. ouch of course logically the house owners won't do that.. and if you invite me over, i also won't. I promise!

    question. we wanted to get this samsung digital lock from qoo10 but our contractor said they don't know how to install. is it easy to install? anyone used before?
  24. mellenur
    dear, from the same door catalogue! i didn't take photo of my service yard door. initially i thought i could save some money and use aluminium doors instead but i never got a quote and hubby (as always) said not nice! so we stuck to this.

    I think after CNY maybe many deliveries so they held it back longer? But really this 3 day delivery policy is such a turn-off, that and the $20 storage per day thing. I've been holding off going to IKEA for 2 weeks to settle the kids' beds because of that. Might go tonight and hope they can send on Monday. I have loads of other stuff which have been delivered to my current house since a month ago, and I need them to assemble it too. Re solid surface, I'm guessing granite is not an option? We're using black galaxy/imperial black. My mum's house used to have black galaxy counter top and also on the floor! Madness. And she had some bird's eye marble flooring in the living room. So we were very wary of water spills cos sure slip one! Anyway..I digress. So granite not an option?
