May_dream1 14 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 Hope i'm not too late to wish all Happy New year! Reviving my blog as I will be doing up a wardrobe in my study room after CNY and to update the 'regrets' so that new owners can take note of it... Nothing to do with ID note lah... Sorry guys, not much of juicy news...I'm still in good term with Henry cos my hubby adores him and prefers him to manage when come to Reno but he is the 'behind the scene good guy' and the responsibility of negotiating and asking Henry to touch up/ rectify here and there for some minor work aka as the bad guy is me.... Stay tuned.....so finally decided to do a wardrobe instead of buying off the shelf? hhhmm... can't wait..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sigh...,custom made doesn't mean won't have mold, as what marshmallow said. but the chances are lower lah...anyway, don't be sad.... a lesson learnt which you will remember for a long long time.

Because of this, I paid a little more for the special coloured internal board for both my kitchen cabinets and pole system wardrobe. Now think of it, it is money worth spending as it won't get mouldy or stained with yellowish spots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

friends78 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2012 Today received call from Henry that the carpenter is free to do my wardrobe...Yes...even the loyal cum returned customer got to wait for 2 mths... Lol! Finally decided to go back to him even thou he charged me higher than Closet design....and his is the normal type of wardrobe not pole system hor.... Uncle Ah Hua came and took the measurements. He was the guy who do most of my carpentry works back then so it's good to have him back He came up with the drawings instantly... Looking forward! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

friends78 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) My No 1 of Regret is laminated flooring for my bedrooms! Hate the feeling of stepping on 'floating' fake wood. Unneccessary stress cos we have to be constantly reminded how water can easily damage the flooring. Wet mop cannot... cannot play water gun with my boy in the room... Aiyoh...too many 'No this' and 'No that' restrictions. I selected the wrong colour too.... Pearl white... Dirt can be spotted easily... Really hate it!!! My No 2 is the omission of the plastering of the wall. New owners, this kind of money cannot be saved!!! My walls are very ugly... Even if I were to do wallpaper, May (from MGL curtains) said the uneveness will be very visible too and asked me not to waste $$$. I went to Goodrich )Plaza Sing and The wall paper story (Marina Square) to ask for their opinions too... Goodrich said the same thing as May. The wall paper story said no problem, their in-house people can do swee swee wan. Kept pushing me to place deposit. So u know who are the honest people here..... My No 3 is the black toilet flooring. Water markings everywhere... But I think it's my problem cos I don't do housework.. Previous flat with white colour flooring doesn't have so many white stains highly visible...Sigh.... If I have a chance to redo.... Edited February 2, 2012 by friends78 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
