My wishlist: All above are limited to 2 pcs per customer only. CHIONG AHHHHHH~ Bro, the bowls and plate only white ones on promotion. But quality is not bad, i bought a bowl there before, feels solid. im also aiming for it... not so sure about the forks n knifes, some ikea forks and knife really light weight (no feel)... i like the stave mirror too, but apparantly, i already have too many mirrors! For cutlery, can try Sia Huat at Temple street (Chinatown), some of their tea cups and pots are really nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelze 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2010 STOLMEN - $300+ For my WIW @ masterbed room. 2 sections Height adjustable from 82 5/8-129 7/8", which allows you to utilize the entire ceiling height. Will be comparing with other pole system quotes as well. but ikea seems to be the cheapest, but quality wise... hmmmm... not so confident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I probably need a custom made mirror for my master bathroom. got cheap lobang? probably 60cm by 100cm in size. only MBR toilet mirror not from ikea... custom make mirror, ID should have lobangs, if not can try your carpenters. from my asking around 2 shops, the real good mirrors can cost 2 to 3 times more expensive than ikea ones, with wood backing and some effects at the sides. Hence, did not consider custom ones.... and i ended up getting a good discount for ikea mirrors at the "as-is" section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neubie 2 Report post Posted December 17, 2010 LILLHOLMEN toilet roll holder - $15 For both bathrooms. Cheap stainless steel holder that serve the objective well. if your toilet is located far away from the shower area, then is ok to use this type of shelter-less holder, as water will not wet onto them....

steelze 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) yea... that toilet paper holder will be at a dry areain the bathroom. =) ID just told me that for hot water point, i need to pay additional $90 for each point.
