ck35 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) My Completion was done last week. And I'm finally feeling the excitement of our new jumbo flat.As we agreed to let the ex-owners stay for another month we'll only collect the keys from then in end October which means we'll only start renovating in November.But we have finalized the design we want and this is what we have decided to do.I don't want to hack any walls in the masterbed room so I decided to split the wardrobe. One will be at the window (full see through wardrobe) and another one beside the entrance (have yet to decide if this will be see through). I'm ok to sacrifice one window but not all, hence the separate wardrobe idea. And we really need big wardrobe hence this idea...

ck35 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2012 Last weekend we went shopping and bought our Sofa, dining lights and dining table, expectedly! We went with the 'look see look see' mentality and didn't expect to find stuffs that we like.Especially for the dining lights, it's 'love at first sight' for my mister.TI have been looking for high back sofa. It's difficult to find for Fabric high back, I need sofa that we can sit with our head rested somewhere....so it's more relaxing. I guess it's easier to get leather ones and I almost gave in to leather sofa until I saw this. I like the colour combination of this sofa (except that 2 little red cushions which are not part of the deal) and it was not expensive so we paid a deposit for it.I am still thinking if I want L shape but the shop said they can custom made to 3 seater @ the same price, I do not mind though. Will think about it.This is the dining table that my mister like. It is 1.8m long. I find that very big but he likes the size and so I gave in to him.This is love @ first sight. It is not cheap but we agree that this will be the statement piece in our home. Good luck for cleaning! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess you got it at a really good price.Really interested in seeing how the space would turn out. Could you share more pictures of the transformation?Cheers, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
