My 5Rm Love Nest

[josephsbs 1]

It's been a looooong day... and our pockets are bleeding badly from the day of shopping

Went shopping at Vivo, Harbourfront, and finally Parkway Parade where we bought the most items, Isetan is having some sales there. Bought some WMF stuffs at Isetan, such as...

WMF Quality One 4pcs set

BTW, we were told by the sales staff that this set is made in China and not Germany. We're OK with it since the quality looks very decent still; gotta trust WMF's QC loh. Even iPhone I'm using also MIC mah... hahahaha

WMF Spitzenklasse 6-Piece Knife Block Set

There's a similar set with a bread knife instead of the scissor. We chose this set cos we thought the scissor is more useful to us than the bread knife.

WMF Set 24 Cromargan cutlery set

Actually wanted to get the Set 30 (difference is 6 pieces of cake forks) which I saw a few days ago but too bad, all sold out (even the display set).

Wifey was initially hesitant to buy this but after comparing its prices with the set we "combine" ourselves from the rack (also 6 sets of table spoon, table fork, table knife & teaspoon) , we thought the Set 24 is a good deal at just a little more.

WMF Black Line Tin Opener

Here's another gadget to be added to the house... Brinno PHV1330 bought from Amazon.com and shipped via HopShopGo.
According to Express shipment, package should be arriving this Friday, in time for CNY... yippie

I'm not using any of the optional sensors but still chose the PHV1330 over the cheaper PHV1325 cos the screen is bigger at 3"


Had dropped the idea earlier but wifey didn't like having to strain her back when using the existing normal lens peephole. Considered relocating the peehole to a higher location but have issues:
(a) doorway's level is like 5" lower than our interior so having the peephole too high mean compromising the proper view of upper body of visitor standing outside. Having a wide angle lens is to allow us to see both the face and upper body, isn't it?
(b) drilling another peephole means we've gotta patch up the old hole. We're only using lacquer over the wooden door and there'll be a "round mark" with a different shade.

Solution: get a digital view lor

May I know which contractor u engaged for the glass bathroom door? Thanx..

The Rooms...

Master Bedroom has 2 walls with wallpaper (also done this afternoon).

Yup, also from The Wall Story.

I've postponed the deliver for our King-sized bed so that the workers have more working space; means our bed will come only after CNY... sigh

Wardrobe cum working room... we've converted a room to house a 11+ feet long built-in wardrobe and remaining space will be used as working room.

Will be buying this table to add into the working room ^_^

Nice wallpaper! Care to share the workmanship/price ? Thanks

Hi, I also have the same door and viewer but I can't seem to fit it in. May I check how you did it? Thanks.
