Originalbread's Humble Abode

[originalbread 0]

I've moved in for more than 1 month but things still pretty messy. Haven't get my dining table and side tables. The worst is many warranty cards not sent yet. Find that a real hassle. Oh, and I just receive a warning letter from the authorities to update my address. I must be a really lazy person, which also explains why so long no updates...

some small stuff I've got:

first time assembling something. quite happy that i manage to complete independently, despite some errors in Ikea's instruction.

I've always thought that nice cushion covers are at a ridiculous price. I just don't understand why even the simple ones that I could accept cost more than $10. So i got my mum to sew. Found this cute canvas fabric in a shop at Pearl's market.

will update more photos hopefully soon.

Some updates.

finally got Air Division to deliver my sofa, which I ordered since July. Called them quite last minute to bring forward the date as some guests were coming, they were really nice to squeeze in a slot for me.

my temp dining table. not sure why I got myself this table many years ago as a writing table. But its cheap, just $59. Only that the wood is in raw state. Have been covering it up in plastic sheet (so ugly), until recently I strip out the cover and oil it. Need to do some sanding and oiling job to protect the surface. (That's why it was sold so cheaply.)

Am still thinking if I should just use this as dining and get another writing table, or get a smaller dining to fit the limited space, and move this to the study to continue its original role as a writing table...

the dresser has finally been restored. got a carpenter who do restoration work down to my home to do it. I think this color fits more with my room, though originally, the surface wasn't in bad condition that really needs restoration.

Hi Originalbread

Chanced upon your blog and hope everything is already going well for your house now =)

Saw your restoration work for your dresser and I must say that is pretty impressive... do you might sharing your contact with me?

Thanks in advance!
