stardust205 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) MBR curtains upThe curtain rods were from IKEA and installed by my future FIL.Now left the curtain for living hall. (not hanging for other 2 bedrooms)The mattress was deliberately put at an angle, as we haven't "安床" yet. Bought at NTUC Xtra. We wanted one that is (i) white, (ii) with no outstanding prints (ours was small, simple flowers prints) (iii) opaque type to block out the morning sunAbit long. Can't be helped since we wanna save some $ by buying off the shelf Edited September 6, 2011 by stardust205 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stardust205 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2011 Hi rayfox,sad to say, we installed the rod before we started looking for curtains and didn't expect the usual length of full-length curtain panels to be this long.I think it will be easier for us to trim the curtains than to re-install the rods. why dont u install the rod higher and the problem will be solve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stardust205 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Study-room finally ready!Received our last piece of large furniture yesterday, a bookshelf cabinet. While we are not particular about the design details of the study-rm furnitures.. it is a must that all must be of walnut color Bought it @ Homiz at old Woodlands central. Doors is a must, for ease of cleaning maintenance. Computer desk is from Vhive @ IMM. We don't want too big a table-top, and the metal legs reinforces stability which we prefer.Installed our DELL desktop system. The monitor turned out abit too big for our computer desk but still manageable.. We didn't expect to have such a large monitor in the first place! Saw the display glass cabinet at the corner? Yeah.. I'll be uploading pics on my precious collection at a later date.Stay tuned! Edited September 9, 2011 by stardust205 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stardust205 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) House-warming (1)Had our first house-warming party on Sun. Super tiring, but enjoyable!Afternoon session was for our (non salsa-dancing) friends while the dinner was for WTB's relatives. Felt good to be able to share with them on our joys and pains in the journey of doing up our own place. WTB baked a cheese cake and chocolate brownie cake while rest of the finger food were being prepared by my future MIL and WTB's grandma. We most probably would've opted for ordering pizza and KFC if not for their help.It was also the first time our kitchen got 'tested' extensively! We still have at least 2 more house-warming sessions to go."Looking forward" to more cleaning to do! whahaha..
