We Bought A Flat, And Made It Our Home

[adidaem 6]

No Sis, 12 windows is exclude my living and balcony, I only do the 3 bedrooms and Lvl 1 windows along the common corridor

Oh thanks. Why not living and balcony tho? Needed for watching TV in the day right?

remember this opening ??

... so we painted the frame white and replace the rounded wooden top with a straight white solid top...

Love the white look! Did you use glass splashback? Was there any problem fitting the powerpoints?

Hey Soichiro, does that mean we should get a hook or something to secure the blinds with at the bottom? What does a pelmet look like?

Its a choice to get the hook. My supplier provides at $5 per set. But I think can bargain to get for free la. Be careful though, its at the height where kids run around and stab their face at. I personally would not install it. Maybe think of other ways to DIY something... velcro? haha.

Pelmet is a metal/plastic cover for the top part of the roller blinds. No picture, but thats the general gist?

Hi Sis, I intend to do some other stuffs for the Balcony glass door, as for the living on the other side, I would like to leave them open as the 4 windows and the balcony parapet are in line (u know what I mean ?) also there's no afternoon sun, so it's ok I can watch TV without glare

Hi Renmapiao, thanks for dropping by my t-blog, yes its white glass and no problem with powerpoints, as the measurements are accurate, just be sure that you use tempered glass as the socket areas are very fragile due to plugging in and out constantly

Bro, mine as u can see is without pelmet, as I'm using PVC base blinds, if you're using fabric , then it's better to have pelmets to keep dust away

Hi Fairydust, the Mods of the forum had removed the thread.... they now charge for starting a group buy thread there

I think maybe they encounter many users abusing the facility ....

oh no... will u still be organizing the group buy?

Just to share how I try to "conceal" all the wires around our TV area....

Got the 2 boxes from IKEA, the extension multi sockets are place inside those boxes....

All wires are also place inside the boxes plugged into the extension sockets...

Managed to minimise the visible wires as we do not have a TV feature wall....

nice...great idea...looks neat....are those wine bottles at the bottom???

it can be a headache to conceal those wires....coz we also mounting the tv onto the wall directly...now thinking how to conceal them between the console and tv. anyway the carpentry is in process...
