joseeng 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2010 NEED HELP! Quick Question! Should I hang my curtains from the top of the ceiling or just above the window? i think this is personal preference. I prefer from top of the ceiling cos you can cover the tracks with a pelmet or any false ceiling. cons is tat you gotta pay a higher price for the materials.

Ur window I presume are not full height? I have seen pelmet done just above the window. It looks perfectly fine. So it is really a matter of preference once again.

annjoy 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Hi Everyone! Thank you for the responses. And sorry for being MIA! Renovation is often frustrating but I trying to appreciate every minute of it. I believe I will look back fondly and enjoy the whole range of feelings from renovation - joy, anticipation, fun, disappointment, frustration and many more. As I see my house coming to life every day, I feel more and more hopeful and look forward to the next day. From a down and out house, my house is now getting new paint and new floors - everything to make it from a pre-loved home to a home that I am going to call MINE with pride. Johnny told me finally that I can move in on the 18th of Jan - without the carpentry. That's great! Exactly what I needed. By the end of last week, the floor tiles were completed, the electrical rewiring was done and the false ceiling went up. Last Sat, I met Johnny to discuss a whole myriad of little details. - I choose the whole house's colours. I cross my fingers and HOPE it will turn out well. - Decided to change the iron wrought main gate. Johnny told me twice before that it costs $280 but when I asked him again, he said it's $480. Maybe I hear wrong. - Chose my bedroom doors too! - Re the pelmut, since he is giving me free for the living room, I said ok to it. - Had a real problem firming on the laminates for the wardrobe and cabinet. So decided to go for a redraw. - It was of course, impossible to firm on the internal structure of the cabinet and wardrobe on the spot as well, so I will have a think about it and do it during the course of this week and revert to Johnny this weekend. - Was very worried my downlights were too big and cannot fit in the false ceiling but Johnny assured us it could - so thank god! - Am very pleased with the false ceiling as well! Didn't seem too low at all. Cool. My house is now being painted and here are some photos to share. - Living Room Feature Wall. First Coat only. - Master Bedroom Feature Wall. First Coat only. - Common Room 1. This is the room I decided to go a little wild with hence the colour. Hope it turns out well. - Common Room 2. Wanted to keep to the modern resort theme - hence this safe colour. Tonight, I choose laminate colours for my 3 bedrooms. I am just going to have to buy my air con and settle the issue with the water heater asap! Water Heater - City Gas Water Heater or Instant Water Heater? Depends on when the City Gas people can come down! They have to let me know where I can put the heater. Hopefully it won't be at a horrible place. Otherwise, I have to go get 2 X Instant Water Heaters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annjoy 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 I actually have a lot of photos but they are all stuck in my home computer. Here's one I found on my HP. This is a picture of my MBR toilet. Sadly, I think that my MBR toilet is not as nice as my common room toilet! Haha! Will show the other pictures soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

annjoy 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 how much is the WC? is it a S pipe 6" offset? I am interested Hi Ossify, Sorry I think cannot buy leh... cos is not my friend... Is my friend's friend and I was asking my friend can a not... but he say cannot... cos too troublesome... cos you have to go to seletar there to get the stock yourself + the stock there is not 100% (i.e.: you have to wipe it clean cos of dust) and then the owner has to be there when you are there to collect and the owner isn't ard there all the time. Too much coordination I guess. Sorry! Hope you get yours at a great price! Annjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
