Haha! U are lucky! The items just arrived today!My Amazon purchased items! Simple human trashbag storage : Corelle dinnerware set for 4 : They are packed so nicely and tight. No breakage found so far! Very satisfied with the dinnerware. Thin but feels solid! I hope it lives up to its reputation of chip and break resistant. Haha! OXO storage : Received this last week but did not post it here. -
Yes, the simple shelf will act as a TV console and my tiny makeup corner. Mine is a Queen size bed so should not be an issue since the carpenter has done the measurements before he build the shelf. I can't remember if my bedroom is sea breeze or charming! haha! i was considering between the 2 way back in March! I think it should be charming!

Update of old photos : Nothing much of new updates, just want to update some new photos in this thread. Small minor changes, the bigger ones will be happening this week! (Rainshower, toilet accessories will be up!) Remembered someone in this thread requested for a photo of my simple shelf, here it is : Received quite a handful of compliments from various people regarding my 5 door wardrobe! the husband was very pleased with this too. My MBR vanity area with T5 warm white LED from TB! My granite top is up as well. The boxes in my living room are clear and it looks so spacious all of the sudden! Been a while since i last saw my living room so clean without the mountain of boxes My 2 common bedroom paint colours. Something different from my black/white theme in the living room. the red ottoman is from TB too, so is the stool and my not yet unbox coffee table at the back. My phone is not able to capture the real colour, it is slightly darker in real life and i love it! especially the mint green. Met up with Vincent (the curtain uncle) and he was very friendly! Honest chap and he gave me recommendations for colours and types of curtains for my crib! The price was reasonable, in fact the lowest quotation i have so far. I request for : PVC Venetian Blinds in White/black tape for living room Blackout roller blinds for 2 common bedrooms Day & Night curtain for MBR. I can't wait for the curtains and blinds to be up!

Hello! PM-ed!
-
Here you go: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002S52ZKS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's weird that only some colours are eligible for them free shipping for this item. I received it yesterday night and for the price for 6pieces,can't complain much! Yes the designs for corelle Dinnerware are quite limited. Saw much nicer designs elements but they are so overpriced!
-
Amazon Time! I sort of graduated from TB recently and ventured into Amazon! Taking advantage of the free shipping over USD125, i go ahead and place my 1st order with amazon! I have not received the items yet but i am definitely looking forward to it! Purchased the well known OXO and Simple human stuffs and the price is so friendly. Bought 2 sets of 16 piece Corelle dinnerware for 4! I wanted the sakura design but it was not available so i chose another one which looks so sweet! Not much updates on my renovation because i am waiting for the shower screen, tempered back splash to be up which will be done probably by next week! Mean while i shall continue to source for more items for my crib!

Hello! PM-ed you !

Hello, tried to PM you but your inbox is full. Kindly drop me a Pm so I can provide you with the contacts.

Yes. I always update them with the excel sheet. but I still find myself checking with them whether has the items arrived in their warehouse. She is the one that tells me to pick up the router at their office when they missed out in the shipment. I agree that she is nice and accommodating and it's her staff which sometimes are abit blur. I still remember my first shipment delivery, no one called me to arrange anything and the next thing I know the uncle and my goods are at my new house door step?! I had to cab down just to open the door for them. & yes simple human stuffs are really nice and tempting! I like the soap dispenser too but I think it's abit extravagant to have one. Haha! Can save it for some other things instead! 10 shipments with Amazon!! What did you buy? Please intro must buy items !

Hello! Yes, I foresee I will spend more money from Amazon now that I sort of complete my shopping with TB! TB is good for furnitures and decorations items for new home. I trust Amazon for their household storage items and kitchenware more. I will take note to select the filter to display those which supports international shipping. It's disappointing to find an item which I liked so much and end up not eligible for international shipping. One of them will be Yankee candle! SG ones are not price friendly at all. I love their scents & I hope I can get them off Amazon.

Yes! I bought a couple of OXO storage boxes and its on their way here! Simple human stuffs are very nice too! I have cart a few for my next purchase already. Hehehe. I am thinking of getting corelle livingware set from Amazon as well because SG is so expensive. I saw one plate that cost $18/piece. 😨 Out of 3 shipments I shipped with amcon, they did not auto update me when my items arrived in their warehouse. They only did when I chase them to check if the items have safely arrived. And they missed out a couple of items 😓. Like my recent shipment which arrives last week, they missed out my 2 eames chairs and my TP link router which is a bummer. And I have to do self collection at their warehouse for the 2 items which they missed out. I will still use them in future because of their speed.

Unboxing time! My TB suspended bedside drawer is fixed up by my contractor's workers! He is very nice to fix up some of my TB items at no extra charges! Various sizes of coasters ! Tins for sugar, tea & coffee!

hello! the mint is closer to the below picture taken from the TB item feedback : http://img.alicdn.com/bao/uploaded/i3/10431092523992274/TB2OchmcFXXXXXcXXXXXXXXXXXX_!!113820431-0-rate.jpg_400x400.jpg It is a very nice mint colour and i love it!

I am pretty satisfied with Amcon too, just that you need to chase them for updates and stuffs which sometimes is quite an hassle. i will still use them in future if i need to ship big items because they are very fast! my 3rd shipment only took 5days?! how fast are the ships sailing nowadays... And yes, amazon! quite addictive and tempting because of the free shipping to SG over 125USD! However, i tried to cart out the simple human trash bag storage holder but it prompted me that it does not ship to SG? I tried to cart out other simple human stuffs which are smaller, they are eligible for the free shipping I am waiting for my 1st amazon parcel which is currently on the way here!

Yes,it's double wall. Yeah! The glasses looks fragile maybe because the glass is quite thin. yes, can't complain for the price i paid for of them!

After a weekend, I am back with more photos! Not much updates regarding renovation because i am waiting for my shower screen to be fixed up. should be up by this week! bomb shelter storage shelf installation was done yesterday too. Chose matte black because it goes well with my pink bomb shelter wall. The couple who came down was surprise to see my wall is painted in pink! They commented that it's the first pink bombshelter that they have come across! And we moved all our existing TB stuffs onto shelves and have so much space left, is this a sign to get more stuffs? The shelves will be empty once we moved in and start decorating our crib. Below are more unboxing of my TB buys: Starbucks bodum tall glasses and mugs! I am a fan of Starbucks so I bought various deigns when I came across them from TB!

I think it is possible to DIY! i came across a blog where the couple did their own brickwall in their house, small area of course. haha! (I found the blog : https://looknookhook.wordpress.com/2011/06/17/diy-a-tale-of-the-white-brick-wall/ ) You can get the sealer(?) in SG and just DIY at your own time own target to save $. I recently ventured into amazon and find it quite addictive too! TB is very easy to get the hang of it and now there are agents too, they offer fuss free services if you do not want to go through the trouble yourself TB is a good place to get house deco items since most of the items in SG are also MIC and prices are marked up like 200-300% more.

Hello! ReLite website does have light options via http://www.relitespecialty.com/product.php?cPath=32_35_37 You can either get it online or you can also get it in the shops. So far it is good, the shop auntie told me that ReLite is better as compared to franco/crestar because it is control by a main switch? Mine does not comes with remote control and needs to control by the wall switch and the blades are made of metal, wind speed is good. quite strong for #3. the fan don't have the wobbly issue which other fans have maybe because the rod is very close to the ceiling.

Hello! I wish i am a housewife but i am not. My husband says i can only be a housewife when i turn 55 which is like 25 years more! I use my personal free time to communicate and source for TB items and on the go using the TB app! it is very tiring to talk to the individual sellers and remind them to pack nicely and also need to check with warehouse side if they have received etc.. but it was all worth it for the amount of savings! The labour is about 1.6K so in total my wall is around $2K and it is so much cheaper! I have neighbors who did their wall around $4.5K. I was not on site when they did the wall, so the next thing i saw when i went up as the wall is already up. very efficient i would say. the link to the red bricks from the same shop : http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1-c.w5003-10228429934.6.Mk5ier&id=39581297616&scene=taobao_shop

Selling Post: I am selling off some TB items which i have purchase extra below. Kindly PM me if you are interested! 1. Scandinavian standing lamp. Selling price : $180 I bought this lamp wanted to put in my living room for deco and usage purposes (because i did not plan to put any track lights above the sofa area. however i decided to put track lights there the very last minute hence not required anymore). I have specifically asked the seller to change the china plug to UK plug so that there is no need to use adapter for this lamp. I purchase this around $200 with shipping fees and willingly to let go at cost price. It will go well with scandi / industrial theme home ! 2. Tracks for track lights. I bought extra tracks for my track lights as a backup just in case one of them is not working however, there is no need for them now as all are in working condition. You may view the photos of the tracks in my renovation progress post. I have 2 * 1m black tracks to let go. Selling price : $20 (i will throw in free connectors) All the items are sell collection at punggol area only. I hope i can help these items find a new owner who needs them more than i do at the moment.

I paid $244 (inclusive of $80SGD domestic shipping to ship from the seller place to Amcon warehouse in china). Yes 1 box = 1 square meter.

Hello! Yes. My carpenter also inform me beforehand that if I tie the tray to the door after a while it will go out of track and look weird. That's why for the 2 metal trays I use casement doors. Haha.
