strikingreality 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Yeah highly likely I'll source stuff from BKK when I go in October - but not so sure how shipping, logistics works and costs. Are you familiar? I'm planning a trip to BKK in first week August. Hubby is familiar with BKK and has friends there. Let me source out some details and we can exchange pointers. If you find any decent MMC shops in BKK, do share! Edited June 10, 2011 by strikingreality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JumpStreet 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2011 Was wondering what happend to your blog... Looks like it's coming together.The painting of walls really transform the place. Interesting AK-47 treatment for the walls, haven't seen it before. Can't wait to see the finished results. HahaI really really love the door and light switches too....

Interesting AK-47 treatment for the walls, haven't seen it before. Can't wait to see the finished results. HahaHi! We've been a little too busy with work( better be busy making $ to pay off this reno.. lol) and we've both fallen ill... And yeah, met Les over the weekend to get a dining table from him and her told me about u guys being childhood friends *nods... painting really makes a diff. as for the textured wall... it actually should be more raw and would have been more ideal if there where red / small bricks laid in it, however it was a solid concrete wall does we had to think of making use of it's natural textures.I really really love the door and light switches too....Love how spacious your kitchen and kitchen entrance looks after you got ride of the walls. Plus the nipple switches! Gosh, where did you find them? Really really quaint and cute! hihi, we're still a little overwhelmed by the size of the kitchen, however, lets see how it looks after the cabinets are in (not much of it though as we did not want to crowd the kitchen). We hope the airy feel will still be maintained after a full length wooden panel is in place. A 1.5m suar wood bar top has also yet to be placed in....the nipple switches were sourced by our ID from a shop in jalan basar, he was actually looking for something else and stubbled upon those switched (brand new!) and got us their left over stock Nice to know u like them ! How's yr reno? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ely1 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 Coming along really nicely!! LURVE your mood boards, and I think, several of us, like you and Timothy, and the Scandi-lovers all know each other by some less-than-6 degrees separation You mentioned McCann's Microsoft account in Beijing, so you definitely know my older brother (he's a suit), and Tim is with HP (so was my brother), and I handled their PR. I love the nipple switches! Can't wait to see what else you have in store - Scandi is really catching up with the Singaporean Gen X couples I think (finally), it's a beautiful style, and probably something I would explore with our next place too. Looking forward to your updates!- Ely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How's yr reno?Not planning to install Bakelite switches for the rest of the house? There are even LAN outlets so you can maintain the same style...http://www.produktgesellschaft.de/en/Switch-Systems/Bakelite-Switch.htmlHmm... I think it's nice to have a big kitchen with space for people to eat and chit chat - that's another 'retro' feature? My kitchen is tiny and I'm spending a small fortune just to enlarge the space.Am only getting my keys tmr so not much progress. Tmr's a "big" day, cos going to meet both contractors at my place to discuss aircon layout n my IDs for more design fine-tuning and shopping. Still gotta go thru various details with my IDs like shower shelves, wardrobe interiors, lightings n finalise the flooring selection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
