xmac2006 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2008 pinkpetter: Those little chairs have a special significance for us. They were hand made especially for the wife by her dad when she was a little girl. We're so glad we were able to give them a useful function again after so long! skywolf: Thanks for your endorsement of our bedroom design! I notice you like platforms a lot, seeing as how you have them installed in a couple of rooms of yours. I was skeptical at first, but they do add some interest to an otherwise flat surface. applefreak: Our cat-proofing comes in multiple layers. Underneath the chair cover there is yet another cushion protecting the upholstery of the chair itself. Cat owners... what can we do, huh? And it looks like the major part of the unpacking is complete, at last! The wife really has a knack for optimizing storage space! Finally, our living room is fit to live in! We're still trying to define the bamboo divider to our liking, so it's still a little rough. And the dog belongs to M-i-L for whom we are doing a little return dog-sitting And why am I posting at such a late hour? Can't sleep -- something I ate is doing bad things to my stomach and is keeping me up... urgh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love how the mirror makes your place looks so big but... I'll never have it cos I'll be very scared. hahahaha if my family members walk behind the sofa I'd scream! The doggie is so cute!! in the perfect spot to help form the picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted November 23, 2008 oops hope you are feeling better by now if not please go and see a doctor having the runs can cause dehydration which is worse yup as cat owner we can only do our best to 'protect' the furniture that's why i got all hard wood furniture cause these are about the only things that are 'immune' to cat claws :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just thought you'd like to see some detail of the furniture underneath their protective layering. Just so happened, today the rep from Vohringer (laminate flooring) came over to take some pix for his own records so we took the opportunity to take some for ourselves.

xmac2006 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Hi va|er1e and yan I'll answer the easy question first: dining set came from Morris Lifestyle. Check out this thread for more details on them. Morris Lifestyle is a big warehouse in Admiralty (NOT within walking distance of Admiralty station, mind you). The showroom is split up across a couple of floors in the building, so what you see on the ground floor isn't all they have to offer. Be sure to get the salesperson to take you to see the other floors as well. You need the salesperson because the doors are code-locked, dunno why. The bamboo, we don't know where they came from. Part of the package from our ID so we didn't ask too many questions. You can get such things from landscapers who do water features. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
