Brought my colleagues to Novena Square Homefix shop to see the one we like. Everyone took turns to scold me for being 'wasteful' and 'bo liao'. 'Buy ex trash bin... very rich is it?!' So I think I won't be getting. Sure kenan 'scold' again during house warming... sooner or later words spread to my in-laws' ears will be siaoz liao... Here r the preview of the carpentry works:- TV Console cum tall cabinet Masterbedroom Wardrobe cum TV Console Kitchen Cabinet... See how high my ceiling is... My hubby's is 1.72m... I'm only 1.5Xm... I think the ladder will be a permanent fixture in my kitchen.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

friends78 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2011 The day to the HO is coming nearer. Mixed feelings. Excited yet sad. Excited that our dream house is coming to reality... Sad is because we will need to do a lot of housework if we were to move. Staying with inlaws have many plus points. No housework.. Breakfast and Dinner well taken care... (thou my FIL's cooking sucks, but it's still healthy home-cooked food). Wonder how we are going to manage if we need to spare 1 day for mopping, sweeping and cleaning.. On top of all these, I still have laundry and ironing... Hubby was commenting that we didn't really do much reno and Henry still needs 8 weeks to complete it and costs so much $$$. Well, his so-called 'never do much' includes hacking and re-doing everything... Painting, 2 toilets, 44 ft kitchen cabinet, 1 Island, 2 TV Consoles, 2 wardrobes, 1 Tall Cabinet and 1 Shoes cabinet. But the hse does look bare to us.... Hope no more 'empty' feeling when the furniture are in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

friends78 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2011 your shoe cabinet is blocking the window...? Yes, 1/3 blocked. No choice, that's the best place to place it... That's y need custom-made. wow seems ready to move in anytime... how does the inside of the shoes cabinet looks like??? think i will do my shoe cabinet with zigzag shelving inside so as to maximise the pairs of shoes to be stored. got one shoes cabinet in my existing house which i got from crystal home. http://www.crystalhome.com.sg/ how come there are some wires dangling from above the tv console?? My shoe cabinet has the normal shelving. Not the zigzag type. Crystal home shoe cabinet very nice..especially the slim ones... But I'm too lazy to outsource to another vendor to do it. Any problem just find one person. Henry's no is now my most frequent dialled no. The wires is for ceiling fan... coming in on monday. ceiling fan ba Cos light all up le Correct.
