strikingreality 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2011 The sale was on 16th to 17th April, 2 days only. At their main office at Jackson Square, think they have it once a year.And the oven I got was not the high end one with tonnes of pre-set cooking programs, just had 5 pre-set ones or something like that. Lower range, it was listed as $799 but was on sale at $549. We like that it has an enamel coating inside, hardy and easy clean. Wah good price! Do you know where it is made? I saw 1 Electrolux made in Turkey which is like what you said, 5 preset functions - $699. But the salesperson was pushing the one with 7 preset functions made in Germany at $999. Thanks for sharing about L-Phenom. I probably will just get the long basin from them and get the rest of the items from Royal Franco instead. Heard many good reviews about Royal Franco.

The oven is made in Italy, saw a sticker on it just now. Prior to that, never thought about it before, haha.. Just my opinion, but I feel that good cooks don't need preset functions About L-Phenom, I believe the listed price of that basin is 440. They'll also tell you to get some other "required" items, must bargain and insist that they throw in those things for free, I managed to get everything for 400.

mabaricows 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2011 Went down to the house just now and took some photos of the lights. As with all other photos, pardon the quality, its all taken using our phones. Hehe.All our lights were from Lights Arcade, owner was very friendly and quite helpful. Checked with fellow renotalk forummer cos we saw a similar light and we compared prices, his was cheaper! Haha.. But Lights Arcade did waive the delivery and installation charges and threw in a storeroom light for free. So I suppose it wasn't too bad of a deal. Can check out his shop la, along Balestier but do compare prices before purchasing.Our MBR toilet light! Small thingy with some crystals, cute. Just nice to light up our tiny toilet Can spy our newly done walls.. hehe.. Will update that soon!A closer look at the light and the shadows created by the crystals.Our MBR lights, 3 hanging glass balls with a metallic sheen. They're d@mn dusty now though, need to clean up.. Hahaa..Our 2 kitchen lights, chose black to go with the black kitchen, very bright! 3 bulbs each..Lit up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mabaricows 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Our hallway light, the moment we open the main door, this will be the light we see. Nice and shiny, everyone loves it.. haha.. Posting 2 pictures, the actual light is white, the other one was taken with weird "sunset" feature on the camera phone.SunsetOur 2 other bedrooms are using this simple light, no budget liao..

So u r going for rustic feel? Mao Mao is such a fluffy sweet cutie!You should see maomao after a bath.. Hehe.. Fluffy sweet cutie transforms into skinny bitter cat.. And yeah, we're going for a rustic look in the living room. Woody and comfortable, also going for furniture with a bit of character/history..Regarding Living Phenom, can't remember the name of the guy who attended to me, it was a middle aged man who seemed quite placid..This is his signature, dug out the receipt to take a look but can't decipher his handwriting.. haha..By the way, he made us get 2 x pop-up waste thingies and 2 x bottle traps to go with the basin. Have read from others who complain that they overcharge for these items. Do take note.If you're getting the WCs from them, do some research, those Velin WCs that they are selling for 500 or so can be had elsewhere for less than 400. The sleek pretty Velin WC has a clone from Arino which is much cheaper too. Happy shopping! Edited June 28, 2011 by mabaricows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ye maos.. Night cats..I think I got decent prices for my lightings, not the cheapest but also not too bad.. The MBR light costs 250 and the MBR toilet light is 185. Got them from Lights Arcade in Balestier, these prices include the bulbs, delivery and installation. Not bad actually.. Go talk to Andrew, he's the friendly and helpful boss..Many have told us that we have weird taste.. Hahahaha.. So yeah, similiar.. About Ronald, I chose him because after meeting him for our initial appointment, my gut feel told me that this man is responsible. Up till now, I have to say that he really is responsible. Gives good recommendations, rectifies defects, responds to emails/sms/calls.. Thats all I want from him really. On the flipside, he is a busy man and handles many projects. Means you got to remind him about specifics.So far, so good. Tiling worksmanship has been good. Kitchen cabinets good. Some small matters but it has mostly been a positive experience.About IDs/contractors screaming about tile prices.. Haha.. I have seen people walking around tile shops and being told to select this or that tile by pushy IDs who feel that they know best. Ronald just gave input about what he knew about the stuff we selected, not pushy. I like that he knows everyone has their own likes and dislikes, no matter how weird they might be.
