strikingreality 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2011 This.... is.... really something! Makes me wish I had explored BKK for my furnishings. Did you guys buy any big items back?Drool worthy stuff.No, we didn't get any furnitures in the end. We wanted a armchair/ottoman, but was concerned about the space, so decided that they can wait until we have moved in. But all the items are really nice. Prices vary. Some items are quite reasonably priced, others are at Sg prices. Our biggest item was a light fixture which weighed like 10kg. Made of glass, we originally intended to handcarry, but airport staff say cannot. So our total baggage was 50kg! Thankfully we are on a full serviced carrier and not a budget one. We bought mostly lighting - downlights, table lights, pendent lights, ceiling lights, some bathroom fixtures, some cutlery/crockery and some decor stuff.

pinkwhale 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2011 Thanks for the enlightenment.. I just emailed Hawaii50 and they had returned with the price list and their item is around 65% cheaper than 1000 tales.. Really tempting.. Dunno whether anyone will be interested to share the shipping together.. Hehe.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strikingreality 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2011 Yesterday, we prob made more decisions about how the house will turn out than any other day.Armed with the swatches and colour charts, we decided on- Our laminates for our kitchen cabinets, shoe cabinets, bay windows, (We forgot our vanity counter =.=)- Kitchen counter top solid surface- Our wall colours- Out kitchen, shoe cabinets and wardrobe layout (Again, forgot our vanity counter =.=)We also FINALLY finished our shopping for our bathrooms (took more than 1 month and countless trips to Balestier, Jln Besar, even Bangkok!)

strikingreality 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Some pictorial update...MBR bathroom - very "safe" choice. The common bathroom one is incomplete in this picture this is without the grouting. Couldn't find a completed one with the grouting done.
