so long it's as good as those we experience in those 5 star hotels or better is considered very good liao.

right now, even my 360 TC bedsheet feels good liao....hahaha

Am Sleeping on 300 thread count currently and not complaining. However, heard friends waxing lyrical about luxurious Egyptian cotton bedsheets. So the princess wannabe in me persuaded my frog prince to gather his horses and chariot to Tomato town to procure some supposedly fine cotton sheets.

We were given two sample pillows. One with brand new, waxed (easier to pack) and unwashed 1k thread count pillow case and the other 1k thread count pillow case that has gone through the cleaning process. My frog prince wouldnt let go of the latter. He only relented reluctantly when a rival prince looked like he was about to start a pillow fight.

The verdict : - Looks like 5 star hotel stuff, feels like 5 star hotel stuff and sleep like 5 star hotel stuff. We were sold.

Have not use it yet but will let you know once we have it test driven.

......where music dwells

This will be the noisiest corner of the house. Cant decide whether to call it our Music Room or Band Room or simply The Stage. There will be an acoustic drum set, keyboard and electric guitar plus mixer, speakers and amplifier. On the left is a mini store room and on the right will be storage shelves behind curtains. We want to sound proof this room so there will be carpet on the floor, thick curtains all around, rock wool in the false ceiling and door panel. To further minimize the noise, we have decided to install more rock wool and sound board at the wall shared by our neighbour.

Rock wool

Wall with rock wool

Wall with rock wool and sound board (notice the pelmet for curtains?)

Hi Green Giraffe,

Could you share on the tiles that you plan to use for your house and the reason for your choice? Exterior area is pebble wash. What about feature walls, living room tiles, kitchen and toilet wall and floor tiles?

hi green girffae,

where did you get the dark brown wood stripes tiles from? is it 30x60cm?

Just the person I'm looking for, we have an opening for a trianglist. My 2 yr old refused to play the triangle, he prefers Violin.

Wouldnt even dare to compete, I'm just the disciple trying to copycat Samjie lah. She is in a league many levels up. If there is a RT Trivia Pursuit, she will win hands down. Sample question : How many forummers bought Stella rugs from Jackson? She can give you the answer in less than 2 seconds. That's how champion she is.

I am not worthy...

My kids dont create music they only create noise. Actually the music/band room is for hubby and me to relive our depraved "youthhood". Call it Mid Life Crisis, my middle aged husband is seriously thinking of setting up a band with him as lead singer and the kids playing drums, keyboard and guitar (we have also found our trianglist recently). Pl PM me if anyone has any lobang to recruit The Short Giraffe Band. TIA
