Vice 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 We wanted a earth tone home that looks cozy. No retro and funky design. Some of the 3D drawings my ID came up with. we took a total of 3 months to finalise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vice 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 So far we've bought quite a lot of stuff. Bought all the lights (which costs a bomb!) Bought a Samsung 46" 5 Series for the living room. (free gift of Upscale DVD player and 21" LCD TV for my son's room) Bought a Samsung 40" 5 Series for my Master bedroom (free gift of Blu-ray DVD Player) Wanted to buy a PS3 and use it as a blu ray player instead but decided against it as no time to play and i don't want my son to be hook on it. Bought a LG Washer Bought a LG Fridge All from Audiohouse. They offer the cheapest price in town. Can bargain somemore. I went around to get different prices from all the electronic stores and went down to audio house and they counter offer with even lower price. Bought this coffee table too.

chocolatechipmuffin 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2008 wow you got a v.nice place! hahaha how do you plan to deal with the toilet problem then? It's actually a Condo. Called Starville. We bought the place a long time ago and was rented ever since. just finish the tenure and finally got our keys back!!! The toilet is a major problem. nice view outside also means nice view of yourself. the pic there is the common bathroom, the Master Bedroom toilet is worse, facing my neighbour. Chit chat with them while showering. The pics here are taken before i rented out the place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vice 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2008 wow you got a v.nice place! hahaha how do you plan to deal with the toilet problem then? No choice, have to cover up. me don't like people to see me doing my business and showering. Told the curtain lady to do some roller blinds and paste some frosted glass effects stickers. Went down this afternoon to spot check as my ID told me everything was ahead of schedule and the carpentry is already up!!! So here goes the photos..... My wife's shoe cabinet and painted black doors. The vanity top and sink in the bathrooms The feature wall in our MBR with the drawers to store our CCD system. (haha to monitor our maid) Chengnai wood decking on our MBR balcony. **** expensive....... Main living room balcony Chengnai wood. Passage way painted.

ilmare612 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2008 Hi very nice indeed. Agree that the full length mirror makes the entire place looks much bigger. Just one question, how come your TV console has legs? It's custom made right? Why not suspended leh? Hi very nice indeed. Agree that the full length mirror makes the entire place looks much bigger. Just one question, how come your TV console has legs?

It's custom made right? Why not suspended leh? drawers are bolted with screws on the wall but i also think they put some form of glue at the back. so the legs are there to hold it in place until the glue or whatever that stuff is, dries.

Jester 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 Your apartment looks to be coming along very nicely, Vice. I noticed that all your doors and window frame (at the kitchen) has been painted black. Can I ask how was it done pls? Am thinking of changing the colour for my bedroom doors without incurring too much cost. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can I ask how was it done pls? Am thinking of changing the colour for my bedroom doors without incurring too much cost. Thanks. Actually, the respraying of the doors are quite expensive to my opinion. cost me about $300 per door. I saw them doing it, quite a lot of work. have to dismantle everything and tape up all the edges. then spray, sand it down, spray again. The taping up already took them the whole morning. No choice, we didn't like the existing colours of the door. too O-biang. Plus we wented to look different. But after looking at the results, it was really money well spent. the workmanship was very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
