May_dream1 14 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 Clever ger! Come to think about it, yah... the savings might not be enough to compensate the time/$$ spent in exchanging... Imagine u need to travel from your place to Balestier just to change a bulb, I think I wld throw it away... Heng I'm so near both Jalan B and Balestier:) Yah.. need to order from Hommage this week liao... if not cannot make it on time for end March delivery... ya, to let ID/contractor earn, then they will make sure its swee swee and any problem, they will come to check/repair. sometimes some extra is like guarantee loh... just like buying extended warranty from harvey norman...

friends78 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Sat - 19 Feb 2011 Met up with the Electrician at about 2.30pm to talk about rewiring... Gosh...didn't know that the process can be so confusing... Seem like I got to instantly think of the placing on my standing fan & lamp so that the power point can be at the extact spot and realised that my masterbedroom is indeed small... I can't even place a King size bed! Sigh... After talking to the Electrician and Henry for about 1.5 hrs... we finally decided on the respective points... Headache.. Henry showed me the place where my vanity top will be... The corner is d.a.m.n small loh...(anyway my toilet is super small).. The vanity top will only be 11" (breadth) which is less that 1ft... which means I got to go to Royal Fanco to change my top mount basin to semi recess basin cos there is no way that the top can accomodate my bowl basin... Sob! Sob! So small and I think I can only put 6 toilet rolls, 1 bottle of contact lens solution plus two toothpaste in the cabinet! Worth to built the vanity top? Also, HDB informed us that my main door shd be 1/2hr fire rated type... Wah lau... The previous owner's door not fire rated door leh... How come I kenan this kind of bomb again... Fire rated cost another $500 extra... Henry did appeal again but HDB said no... Too bad the door throw away liao..if not I will carry it to HDB to bang table and chairs... Mood super bad after the meetup cos everything is $$$$ so hubby drove to Cellini Loyang to look at beautiful furniture to cool our mood... Boy...The showroom is indeed big and beautiful.... and we feel like buying up everything.... too bad we r not one of the TOTO winners... Sigh...

May_dream1 14 Report post Posted February 20, 2011 Wow!!! The sofa does look very good. How much was it? Can customize to any colour? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
friends78 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2011 Wow!!! The sofa does look very good. How much was it? Can customize to any colour? I got it as a package... The invoice stated that the sofa including the recliner chair is almost $3k... I think it's marketing strategy... Don't think it will cost that much if u were to buy it alone.. The usual colours that can be customised..I saw red, white, brown and black... We opted black... Got nightmare maintaining white sofa for my previous flat... So no more white or cream sofa this time round... Quite surprise that hubby changed his mind to Cellini so fast... Before going there...he was still talking about Hommage; to get marble dining table and bed frame from there... So now is bye bye Hommage... For me, I'm more than happy to buy everything from one place... Less coordination and easier to match... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The price is too cheap to resist right? I like the current display pc which is brownish green in colour.... At first we don't believe that they are so strict about the selection of colour but the sale person die die won't let us choose yesterday.. So now I can only pray hard for a plain colour one... I also will have a headache on matching it to my theme if there's print.... Which Cellini products u bought? Their things quite ex hor...but my bro just smsed me that I got a good deal and he likes my sofa...That makes my night! I start to like the sofa liao....

I start to like the sofa liao.... ya rite! i add the purchase of bean bag last after recee other places and all bean bags do not come cheap we keep pestering the sales person to reveal the colour also haha. Although there is flower print but it is still quite nice. The previous batch in dec is greenish colour and the fabric is not very good. Satisfied with what we get. Heart bumping when opening the packaging! Their stuff are ex if buy a lar carte. With package 50% off, is not too bad. Only our bed is flow series and we change the dining table to upgrade to k size bed and full leather sofa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
