mrmerry 2 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 hi hi~Your amazing living room and bedroom almost got me thinking of copying them wholesale! ( shameless me! haha )one can imagine peaceful reading by the sunlight in the papa bear chair while the kids? play on ard in the house or as the significant other relaxes and drink a cup of hot coffee by the table, reading a book.And yet the bed room is such a place of serenity! i think the giant poster might disturb the peaceful vibe u have now in the bedroom?My place is coming in April - June 2013 ( Sengkang Fernvale Palms ), so i still got some time to research on all these details, but yours and Itsy's blog are definitely the direction me n my significant other ( which also.. is J & D ) are looking for.. Do you think it would be ok for u to pm me the reno costs n K's contact? Very curious to see how things are broken down and done up. While its still a long way , and i suspect hes gonna get alot more business! but better to get his contact first i suppose.Thanks ahead! and yes i agree.. u need more greenery!

paloma 1 Report post Posted July 3, 2012 Today, the remaining electrical stuff in our house - some lights, fan and doorbell were finally installed. After taking a break from reno for awhile, I kind of forgot how dusty and dirty it can get, with all the drilling and stuff. The cleaning after that was really back breaking.That said, we were really pleased with our new fan - a black Relite petite. Initially, we were bent on getting the Haiku fan, but when the price spiralled out of hand, we told ourselves we weren't going to pay $900 for a ceiling fan. So we got ourselves a white baby KDK fan from Goh Ah Bee. But then, two days ago, Mr Paloma spotted the Relite fan in the latest home & decor issue. It was exactly what we wanted - black and simple - so we decided to get it!So now, we are going to let go of our KDK fan. It's white, with a 44-inch blade and is remote-controlled. It's still in its original packaging, unopened, and we have the receipt for warranty. The price is $170, and we are willing to deliver it to the buyer. Please PM me if you are interested!
