curryqueen 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2010 congrats! how come not starting on monday? haha... the start of a busy renovation process... ikea sale like not very exciting leh...just bought a few small items only... Dunno why not starting on Mon.. but as long as they start hacking next week, who cares? The big items seldom on sale lah.. But my lights were cheaper by $20 (from $45 to $25), so I'm happy! Bought the Grundtal s/s rack even though not on offer. Will leave it unopened till the end of Ikea sale. If the racks go on sale, I will exchange it and buy those on sale. Also bought the bedspread, 4 cushions, 3 sets of organizers, 1 cable mgmt thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you can easily find them from those companies doing pole/ wardrobe system, e.g. alumix, ximula, osph, closet design. But personally I don't like the design of that pic cause not very useful to keep stuff and easily collect dust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you can easily find them from those companies doing pole/ wardrobe system, e.g. alumix, ximula, osph, closet design. But personally I don't like the design of that pic cause not very useful to keep stuff and easily collect dust. It looks similar to the pole system but is made of conduit pipes. I like the industrial look of it. Most of the poles in these wardrobe systems are flat and silver. Ikea's Stolmen poles are round, but too chunky. I know it collects dust, but think how cool it is if you use it as a bookshelves with the cabinet to throw all the barang-barang in!

curryqueen 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) My daybed from Hock Siong came yesterday! They couldn't keep it for me any longer, so I had it delivered. It's 2.5 ft by 6ft, abt the same size as a single bed. I bought the 2 cushions on the daybed as well..The mattress is still nice & firm, but will probably need to get professional cleaning for the upholstery though.. I will be using it as my sofa. Love the legs on the daybed It's about the same length as my common bedrm windows I have no idea how the workers will be working around the daybed when they start hacking though. Finally took a picture of the pergo laminate I will be using.. Vintage Venezian Edited July 11, 2010 by curryqueen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curryqueen 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2010 Went to Balestier to choose my tiles. LSH was just too crowded and they didn't have anyone to serve me, so after a while, I left and went over to Hafary. MBR loo was straight forward.. I didn't want any feature tiles there. Just something clean and simple that I won't grow tired of. It's the kitchen toilet that I'm having a headache as I wanted a whole wall as a feature since it's so tiny. The 2 other walls will be a plain ordinary white glossy tiles. (a)I like the grid pattern of this tile as a feature wall. Don't think it will accumulate much dirt btw the grid since it will be at the dry area. (b) But I also like the shiny, shimmery effect of this tile Of coz, the ideal would be to use the shimmery tile as a flr tile, like this but I can't because its not a 30x30 cm tile (Smaller tiles are needed for toilet floors so that the tiler can do the slope to the drainage hole. I may change the flr tile of the common toilet to another type of black tile..something not so rough so that it's easier to clean and less likely to accumulate soap scum.. but the general look will be this. So what do you think? (a) or (b)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
