saeran 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2008 The Wardrobe-Madness! The before and after. Very engineering-based photos. Of course, not good enough. Not the same angle. Here's our pleasant surprise when we saw this! Our ideas turned into a great work! Really impressed with my contractor's work; on the laying of velvet and its compartments. The $ is worth it. (Nearing $150 for the velvet for 2 pull out drawers) Let's imagine.... Pull out mirror with case. Which is something we did not requested for. We only asked for 'pull out mirror'. My contractor should really step in IKEA these days. He is very prejudiced against it. Contractor mentioned that their team of workers took sometime to get the whole set up ready. Is their first time doing this type of pole-system wardrobe. (Can't blame them too) No wonder my contractor took 1 month to get my wardrobe up. We thought they were slacking on our house! haha.. Few WEEKS later, brownish doors up. Not up to my expectation though. Wish for it to be in a darker shade… Meanwhile, MBR lights installed. We call it babylights. You will see them at the tcc@T3. But theirs is 6 eggs. Ours is ten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saeran 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) Moving on to the toilets Squarish shower rose for MBR. Nice! The towel rack reminds us of the hotel washroom… One thing about rain shower though, the pressure isn't that great. Nevertheless, good thing that we went for it. Circular rose @ Common toilet. Changed one piece of laminate door to glass one after much deliberation. We cannot take the wavy-ness of that piece of laminate there. Ikea Mirror in the common toilet. Grandeur Gold. NICE. SGD 135 bucks. Mirror suits the HDB basin. Haha. spam chop love your t-blog, full of pictures Hello applefreak.. thanks for loving it.. hehe.. as I always believe, pictures says a thousand words...

saeran 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2008 Foyer Light up. Photo doesn't do justice to its beauty. Subtle glow via the yellow crystals against the purple wall. Half done MBR Toilet vanity area… ********** MUST HAVE ITEMS UP~ Full Height K-Size Headboard Absolute beauty! Workmanship still needs to improve though.. haha v interesting blog hehe...*enjoyed reading and seeing the beautiful pics there* Thanks YG! Dining Area Cushion Looks like white chocolate bar…. Tinted mirrors to be up soon… Dimpled effect on cushion can't be seen from the photos though. We went on a PVC/Material spree for our headboard and cushion. (just like our laminates) Ranging from Chinatown to Ubi and wanted contractor to go find them to manufacture. In the end, quote was much higher than what was quoted. Went for contractor's lobang and not bad too. (note: negative comments will not be posted) The results shown via the photos posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdnest 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2008 LOVE UR HEADBOARD!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saeran 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2008 This is the pink one which I was thinking of buying...Then again, imagine your own shoes inside the wheelies. I doubt it will be as sweet. Argh.. KIV KIV again~…. Notice how the backsplash looks awkard against the kitchen wall. Only plus point is that it is very reflective. No need to go toilet to look into mirror. White binds to prevent neighbors from checking us out while we are in kitchen…. hehe.. Look how sparkling the floor is now! Another round of grouting done again. Whole house feels very new! Tinted mirror above the bench up. Our HTS from Philips up. It posted a whole lot of problems then.. Just glad that this is working fine now. Only problem now is that the Tv audio output from the HTS is not connected as yet. Haha.. At this stage, is already like 6 months since we started renovation. kekeke... Scary yah? LOVE UR HEADBOARD!!!! I love it too... took quite sometime to get it up... cause of the constraint of the width of the PVC material... VIEW OF LIVING AND DINING AREA Now you folks realised how small our house is now~ Feature wall on the left, dining bench on the right. Kitchen entrance at the centre. Did away with the TV console as we think that we need more walking area. But one thing I want to add.. is that I LOVE MY HOUSE a lot! Is the result of what Baby and myself have put into these mths. Really worth the effort. Moving on the BIGGER AREA... The MBR toilet... Taken inside the wet area. Like the idea of the extended mirror. Though is over-hyped, it makes the toilet looked more 'hotel-feel'. Baby can't stand my towel hanger at the side of the vanity top. He said the location is just so wrong. Don't worry, Baby… I will buy the cutest HELLO KITTY face towel to hang there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saeran 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2008 Side tinted mirror @ dining area up. Looks strange or not huh? Apparently, it makes my living area looks smaller! WAILS. The idea of 4Ft Box up is gone! WAILS x 2...Above mistake of ours will be corrected.... stay tuned... Most expensive lights up. **** room. Uncle was grouchy. He had requested to come earlier the night before but we said NO. Who installs lights at 9am? Still sleeping leh! Up and Up! Last count, the no. of crystals is about 80+. HOT or not? I like this lamp a lot! Hehehe… got remote control somemore. I love controlling lights. The WOW Factor. Pairing with dining light. Saeran has got cool-hot lights. In case anyone asks.... Cost breakdown: Living room crystal lights from Chelsea Lighting (with remote and installation) = $680 Misc lights from Chelsea Lighting = $ 385 Location = Jurong East Baby Lights @ MBR from Chan Huat Lighting= $140 Location = Balestier Shakira-baby lamp @ Dining area from AF Lighting House = $ 205 Location = Balestier Downlights + Misc from *** = $490 Location = Balestier Foyer Light from D.I.Y Lighting = $145 TOTAL = $2045.00!!! Who dares to complain my house not bright enough! One of items in my wish list! Kartell Stone in Clear (as seen) & Yellow. Shall use them for dining chairs Some DIY @ our court.. I am sure 100 of you alligators saw this frame @ Ikea/Magazines before. Cost SGD 39 bucks or so. Look how DRAMA it is after being painted in gold. Close up view of the paint work. The mixture of black and gold colour gave the frame a rustic look. Here’s Baby’s project - Kitchen Trolley bought from IKEA. Costed us around SGD165. Placement 1 - Saeran’s choice. Felt this way is smoother. Also can push back further to face windows while eating. Placement 2 - Baby’s choice & I wonder why. Actually got this big piece of granite top from contractor. Supposedly from the cut out of the hob. Hehehe… So we gonna paint the wooden parts to white. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saeran 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2008 Went to BKK in Jul and bought some home & decor items back too! Clear glass tea cups/bass teaspoons/fork/candle holder x 2/gold trimmed small dish and soup spoon 3 long cushions/table runner/cushion covers/photoframe/Naraya hangers (if you can see them at the bottom) Sofa Stool which Baby handcarried in CTC. Amazing! 1200 Baht. Must buy! Candleholder which Baby tried very hard to squeeze into backpack. He loves it. Nice DIY on your kitchen trolley! Made full use of your granite. Hello LittleDevil.. Nods.. yah lorh..granite is too expensive for us to throw away~ Moving on to night scenes @ our court.. Feels dreamy with this light on. The crystals casted rainbow shimmers on the walls. Nice. Okay. Meanwhile, we got the recess box irritation fixed! 4″ additional box up done @ the sides. So it looks more pleasing to the eye, that the recess area is finally equal. YEY-Ness.
