divein 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2008 Wah how come the pic so BIG and take so long to load!!!!!! Ok try again! picture upload trial and error part 2.. hope this time smaller This is the sofa that we bought...bought it at the recent Living Expo We actually saw this sofa during the last expo and fall in love with it but did not bought it then. But after shopping around, we realised we wanted that particular design.. So we are happy when we saw the same sofa again during this Living home Expo! The sofa is a 3 + 1 seater, small side table AND 7 cushions... yes.. 7 cushion! cost $1499 for normal foam material but we decided to top up another $300 for the pocket spring version as it felt so comfty! We selected black leather for the whole sofa and different colour combo of white and black for the cushions! Now we are abit worried caused we have Never heard of this company, WestPoint before. they claimed they dun have any outlet and usually do more comerical business and only retailed at expo... but we really love this sofa and this is the second time we saw them at Expo so Just Do It! and put down deposit. Now hope everything will turn out fine for the delivery in July........ nice view from your living room. How big is your area? Any pic of your layout to share? Hi Cherry I dun have the scan floor plan at home. maybe upload tmr Our place is very small only 90m2... It's a BTO project which we booked 4 year ago!! still cant imagine we waited 4 yrs... when we first saw it, we were abit disappointed at the size but after awhile we get used to it. now it Kinda of cozy (psycho myself to tink it cozy anyway ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well at least the tel no. exist!! They also have very nice dining table and chair that is cover in leather.. wanted to buy but out of our budget. Will update about it. O yeah today bought a painting to hang behind of sofa. Bought it at a small shop at bukit merah called Spark Home N Decor. They got very nice oil painting and print, quite affordable also. Their website http://www.sparkhomedecor.com.sg/ Think they are featured on TV before. Got this at $240... Dim is 120 X 50cm (I think ) We actually wanted to get the white and black sq painting beside it also but decided to buy after our reno is completed. too impluse...wait buy liao doesnt look nice die Are common toilets in sengkang flats 2 different colour tone tiles?

BunBun 5 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) Im not sure about the tones for the toilets by HDB cos my mbr toilet comes with the original tiles as I never hack it. No budget for it. The toilet is in blue colour but in slightly different shade, for eg top half is in light blue, middle is a border while the bottom half is medium blue. So its still blue colour (1 colour) all the same. Likewise for my common toilet which was hacked and retiled by HDB contractors due to hollowness. Didn't have the original blue colour as no stock. Instead we got grey colour. Again, the pattern is the same for top half, middle & bottom but still grey colour all the same that why. Thats why, looking at the common toilet, the colours are different, not in the same colour tone. (You know HDB no colour sense so only choose 1 colour tonality for everything) even if not enough stock for the original colour, they will change to other colour as was in the case for my kitchen Dun understand... my MBR also two different colour lei...
