macuser77 1 Report post Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Lightings...again1) As mentioned in our previous post, we;re selling our purchases from Taobao, and we bought these instead :Left 1 is from Taobao, right is the real McCoy. To me, there is not much difference.To my wife, there is a significant difference in quality and weight and everything.2) Next is our beautiful MBR lampshades from Etsy :There're 2 of these, which will be hung at both sides of the bed (by the way this pic wasn't taken at our home. ) We took the pic with the plastic wrapping, hence it looks crumpled. It was actually very well made.3) Our previous spin off of Moooi Random light 60cm has been replaced by this:My wife is a huge fan of this brand lights and she spotted this, and insisted that this will be the perfect 1 for living area.Of course, it helps when Mr K said 黄色美.

The cam phone doesn't do any justice ! Edited July 26, 2013 by macuser77 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macuser77 1 Report post Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Some updates (will be bare without furnishings): Our TV area:Reason for enclosure:We were afraid that the compressor isnt powerful enough to cool the entire hall/dining/kitchen area. So a/c only for this area.Kitchen (wet):That song cho dish rack cost freaking 400 bucks However, since there's lifetime warranty against rust, we guess they're really serious on quality.and Mr K said 比我做的还要贵。Dry:We're quite skeptical over open concept kitchen with asian cooking, which explains the segregation.& many thanks to Retchlow's advice, we have purchased a red smeg, which will be tucked neatly in the corner behind the "counter". My wife wanted the union jack, but it doesn't come with 2 doors, and as such, we debated between the 2 doored red and blue.Feeling lost we called Mr.K, and ended up with 红色美。Above pic is the view of our dining and living from our dry kitchen.Minimum kitchen carpentry:As we have discovered from our lifestyle over the years, we don't really fancy having much crockery. From our last reno, our cabinetssss were only half utilised, with untouched pots and pens lying around for donkey years.

macuser77 1 Report post Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) No they're not Swensen's !Dining lamps ( and no they're not Swensons or equivalent. It's Moroccan )How it looks in the day:We love having steamboat with family, which explains the slightly higher than normal dining lamps.Full white for my dining table and side board, which will only arrive in mid Aug...Zzz (its the first thing we ordered from this place X in mid-april).Anyway we wanted a clock from X, and were informed that we need to wait for 5 mths, and a simple pendent lamp, which required waiting time of 3 mths.We are waiting for the day that X close down.Wardrobe:1 of our last minute addition (had wanted Ximula. On the hindsight, glad we did't)Bed:Yet another last minute addition ( to art00609: if you're reading this, sorry for your carpentry delay as we had quite a number of last minute add-ons.)We weren't too particular over bed frames. Had wanted to purchase it from Sincere/Courts etc, however Mr K had to show my wife pics of bed frames that he did (solely for the purpose of choosing laminates. Not for the purpose of selling).Switches & plugs were initiated by Mr. K. We didn't have any special requests or whatsoever. Very thoughtful of him As for the side lamps .....the shades were bought from Etsy. Edited July 9, 2013 by macuser77 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
