My 5 Room Bukit Merah Flat T-Blog

[adidaem 6]

2nd time? Who's the first time??

1st time was my ID. Think that left a deep impression on Raymond. When I whipped out my wallet the 2nd time, he was like... deja vu. Hmm... think next time I go I'll make sure I'm low on cash!

ReStore is quite nice... I esp like the toilet in ReStore! LOL. Waffles there are not bad as well. But furniture wise, mostly chairs, restored and reupholstered, some tables/dressers, but the shop is pretty small, even smaller than Pomelo.

I've been to ReStore, and in a nutshell:

- Furniture is pretty so-so and prices are pretty ex

- Waffles are nice and prices are very ex

Haha, but if you wanna go check it out I'll be happy to go with you as well.

Chia you kopi there

Aiya, if expensive then... hmm... We can still have waffles rite? Issit too far to walk from Pomelo?

We can meet when the new shipment arrives! Sorry for being so shameless and self inviting myself. Adidaem, when are you starting reno? And Timothy, when you getting keys?

I am waiting for my ID to get the HDB approval... almost 2-3 weeks already... wonder when it will be approved...

No problem! Will be pretty interested to meet up with you guys

Are you both on facebook? I'll be getting my keys in September, but I'm doing my homework very early. Haha

Ok, when Pomelo gets new stocks then. I'm interested in some Blu Dot stuff I saw online. But am very undecided so not going to indent in. Mabbe will email n ask if they are bringing any in the next shipment.

Hey SR: My reno starts on Friday! Woohoo! M now passing time by playing with the 'before' pics. Do drop by my t-blog or wordpress blog to have a look.

Hi Timothy: No FB. I'm weird that way. I blog but m not active on FB. 'Traditional' or what?

I'm starting hacking this Thursday! ID just called rottenramone (aka hubby).

Adidaem - what else are you thinking of getting from Bludot?? I love flipping through the catalog.

[strikingreality 0]

Just doing an "announcement" for Pomelo since we are all fans here.

The next shipment for Blu Dot will leave the week after next, hence if you have any orders, let Raymond know by latest next week!

The fall catalogue looks **** nice though: http://www.bludot.com/new.html Should be available in September/October thereabouts.

Oh so we r starting reno around the same time! When does yours finish? Mine is only end-Aug (the wait is killing me).

I'm interested in Filing cabinet (white) n the letter holder (red). But can't tell from catalogue to want to indent tho.

So when are we going to Pomelo?

Anyone has a copy of the Established and Sons catalogue?

Seems you guys are all ga-ga over it

I've taken some pics of the place last weekend, but still occupied.

It's pretty messy and in original condition. Anyone wanna see? Or should I wait until at least they move out in September first

:good: Yup yup! But we just pushed back our start date to Monady cuz hubby wanna see the 3Ds first.

We're going to go to the Gain City Expo Sale this weekend to look at air con and electronics. Hopefully can get more things settled.

Re: Estb & Sons - I think I wanna get the Butt Stool as my dresser table! Because I don't think I can afford a Heidi :wub: just for my dresser stool.

Hubby loves the font clock... and the flipping sound as the minutes pass. \

I prob won't need to go to Pomelo until after Bangkok as the remaining stuff I need to get from there, if any, would be the smaller items.

The Estb & Sons catalogue is this huge hard cover thick book that wouldn't look out of place in a library.

I think it's okay to post the pictures as long as there are no faces... How come your completion date is only in Sep?

Nice house... kekekek... ur agent very good hor ~! find you such almost good renovated house.... LOL ... heehee....

U want GHOST chair ... TRY robinson @ orchard LEVEL 5 next to PARTY shop..

anyway just a suggestion.... try ask ur ID to create FLOATING kitchen effect with LED downlight below... so that you can wash floor easy and also no cockroach and INFEST the whole kitchen.. also helps to prevent CHOKE... which is the WORSE that will happen...

Yeah always better to see 3Ds first. Got some good discounts from the Gain City Expo Sale?

I was there too but not really in the mood to buy anything yet since my reno not started even. It's all becoming like a big pasar malam.

PC Show, Gain City Expo, Audio House 21st anniversary... All the ah beng salesmen shouting with the big loud speakers. So noisy

I'm actually thinking of getting 6 short butt stools to use as chairs for my dining table. Think it'll be pretty cool, but not sure of the price yet - have to check with my ID too.

Let me know how BKK goes; please check out Hawaii 5-0 too - wanna check on the quality and finishing.

My completion date is by right in July, but we extended it to September for the current owners to have more time to move out. So doing all the homework in the meantime

Hi Goobi,

Agent good cos he managed to find a good place at a low COV.

Almost good renovated house is..... not really la. Hahaha

My ID is proposing a half island / half dining table and hacking down one side of the kitchen wall. I think should be quite good. We might need to go check out the place to find out measurements for the toilet bowl distance to pipe and the water pressure etc also. Will let you know again.

[adidaem 6]

Mmm... I like the long entrance... the drama queen in me loves a dramatic entrance passage way with cool lighting... can't quite find what I'm visualising but something like:

Like the kind you find in hip hotels...

What were you planning to do with the entrance/passageway?
