Hi Vermillion,

Nice. I love classic and victorian style. You got your stuff from The Interior Library?

I think if I have gone ahead with victorian style, I would give it a twist by painting the items in metallic+shimmer+gold to give it a different look. But classic white is timeless.

Hi TimTim,

You can get beautiful customised frames in Sg if you know where to go to. What Vermillion got are prettty standard frames which you can get in Sg.

hi timtim, the chandeliers are up!! but no crystals yet, cos not fully painted yet!!! very pleased....

the study desk is also up. very pleased too but din take pix its perfect!!! :wub: tomorrow....

hi mickey, i would not color the roses and frames, becos my sofa, drapes & chandeliers are the main focus. the roses and beamings are decorative stuff to enhance, they have to be suttle. they are not from interior library, too ex, patrick gave me very good price! super good. so i got from him

honestly, i dun really follow any theme, i design the house as i like, never like to restrict myself. whether victorian or baroque or whatever, i have modern solar lights in my house that doesnt match the rest of the deco. esp the study area, it will will be different. so there is no so call theme. its my theme its my boutique home. dats all i can think of.

the frames are bought overseas becos 14 frames of different sizes = the price of 2 frames or 1 huge frame in singapore. i paid a lot lesser than $100

black wall, grey ceiling for living room too, no pix as its not done when i was there. its a difficult house to paint as there are too many roses and cornices, plus the spiral staircase is too near to wall, not to mention the 6m high wall... am really pleased & thankful that patrick has these 2 lovely uncle painting the house, despite the difficulties (they use tiny paint brush to outline the roses!!!), they still remain cheerful and nice!!! i tot they would kill me when they see me!!

no pixs of study desk yet cos painter put his things above the study desk...

and i saw the skeleton of my shoe cabinet. very very very please.... love it!!!!

my request for every part of the reno is not an easy task as i'm very fussy, even into where to use what laminate..., spoke to some contractors, they look worried and made me even more worried. am glad that patrick took up the challenge and produces very good work and result, never a NO, CANNOT BE DONE to my request. and thanks to his team of workers

when i went there 2pm to meet my aircon guy (remote control not working...), and saw the black bedroom, SWEE AH! very swee very swee!!! i told the painters!!! yes, the color combination & scheme turned out very well as what i expected! very pleased!! !

the only issue i have is the living room beaming (frame) and corners, the frame is too huge, i should have made it a square framing the roses and chandelier. pretty disappointed with my decision & bad judgement hopefully after painting, it stands out better

actually i really pity the painters... besides black walls and painting of the roses etc, all doors and frames to be in matt white!! they sure say 'si bei pai tang'...
