Hi FF, always such a visual treat for us when you update your blog.

And how do you still find the energy to go shopping for more stuff after reno? Gosh, my SO and I are so beat we are just gonna take a 6 month hiatus and laze around...

Am glad you found the tables... curious what will you be using for the chairs tho?

Hi Adi!!! am looking forward to MORE! pixs of yr place! it's looking great! and ps. congrats on yr rom!

For us hor... we were on a tight budget thus decided to do up our home in phases... (our other 2 rooms are empty...) We did take a short break from furnishing our home (we're still shuffling things ard the areas we did up)

Now that we're more settled in ... and have a little cash to spare (damm bills!) We're now working on our work studio (more mine than his ;p). My work table was figured out a while bk, it's a refurbished singer machine stand with a solid wood top (just finished that last week...pixs soon) However had been looking for his table for a while as he wanted it to be a little more unique. Thank goodness we finally found it.

for chairs, I'd like a wooden stool or the old school roller stool-like chair

for him, he's eyeing a scandi-style wooden chair.

The chairs will be our next challenge. I can't wait for my next invoice payment!! damm freelancing!

Thanks! Yep, finally got some new pics of my place thanks to my IDs, so I'll post them this weekend after some sorting. I don't want to hijack your thread so I'll continue in my T-blog k?

Ohh, sounds like it may be a bit of challenge, but I'm guessing you already know where to go and find your retro-licious chairs. Sometimes things like this really need some fate and luck tho so good luck !! and hope you both get the chairs you want soon.

As always, will be eagerly awaiting the next set of eye candy from you.

Heya frigginfuschia!

Somehow I have been bitten by the vintage / pre-loved bug too. Have been spending hours going through junk store stuff and Salvation Army stores too!

I bought this super nice ship lamp from Heritage Centre at Jalan Sultan.

Tried painting it over but it doesn't look very nice.

I think I need to scrape off / sandpaper the outer layer first and paint over a coat of white before putting on the paint color I like (Moss Rose - which is a very cool shade of pink )

Do you have a spray paint machine I could possibly borrow?

By the way, there's tons of stuff out there you could re-hab yourself. Go check out Praisehaven / Salvation Army at Upper Bukit Timah and Upper Serangoon road.

I found quite a lot of cool stuff lying around going for a dime. Saw a sofa I liked going pretty cheap; but I need to re-upholster. Any lobangs for cheap upholstery?

Let me know if you wanna go check it out; I can send you some pics I took there. Maybe we can go together too

I'm not sure of good upholsters here.. however, I currently have 2 chairs which i purchased from secondcharm recently curently being upholstered by them, will only recieve the chairs bk at the end of oct. From the other items I've seen upholstered by them, it seems nicely done. Maybe you can approach them for upholstery quote?

Hi frigginfuchsia, I actually bought these lights for one of my rooms!

Just curious, why didn't you use them? Is it because they don't fit into your design?

Oh and I was referring to the little silver ones:

Thanks heaps!!

Hi again Industrial, the little silver lights can be found in Jln Sultan.

As for why we did not use the tom dixon-like lights, we had gotten it for the the dining and bar area but changed our minds....

Thanks frigginfuchsia!
