wisann 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2013 So to be frank so far.. the only piece of furniture that is confirm is our bed. The Willow Spring with princess headboard.But now looking at the bedframe headboard.... =( abit ugly...Changing the covers to fabric again.. but keeping in view if we see any irresistible bedframes..2 item ticked off and confirmed to be buying will be the miele washer and dryer. Wifey worked as sales in electrical appliances before so she very leaning towards it and me being the cleaning freak also leaning towards cleaner washings ;D Lucky got sale also.Heart pain..but o well.. its something u use daily or bi-daily..so a good one is very important.Saw the fisher and packer fridge. leaning towards the white one.. though silver brushed silver also nice..A nice touch led study light with varying degrees of light... but **** ex ..I am eyeing the similar fridge albeit smaller. I had tough time convincing the missus to get fisher and paykel fridge though coz the price is higher than those korean brand fridge. But in the end, she agreed to it, YES!

mrmerry 2 Report post Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Quick update, Just went to Hafary for tiles selection this morning and updated Andy that we wanan revert back to open concept ( YESSSS WIFEY FINALLY AGREES!) , prolly will get back to us tuesday. In the mean time we finally bought our furnitures form this amazing place. we were supposed to be browsing only, but i think we ended up buying the majority of our furnitures there!First buy! a jackfruit wood table at a steal! $1350 from 2.7k. Pure awesomeness.Nice sofa . the sofa felt right. Color is abit off in the photo, its more towards the ottoman on the left. Bought at $1200Replaced the serta bedframe with this beautiful piece. so grateful, but abit pricy at 2.3k.More updates soon!

mrmerry 2 Report post Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Updates by Mrs Merry:ID Andy's rendered images for our kitchen and living room. After staring at these pictures for 2 nights, I'm convinced this is not the look we are looking at. It's neither open or close concept. Very functional kitchen but ugly in visual sense. So yes, I agreed to Mr Merry's request and re-constructed the floor plan with Andy this morning. Let's hope everything be okay!Proposed floorpan. Very functional kitchen. View from kitchen entranceView from kitchen wall. It's supposed to be a washing machine and dryer; not 2 washing machines!!A big book shelf to keep our massive books and reading materials. Shoe cabinet next to main entrance. Edited April 28, 2013 by mrmerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrmerry 2 Report post Posted April 28, 2013 More updates from Mrs Merry:Love this reading chair! Great form for reading with our books and kindles. Spotted this an atrium sale at Harley Norman Millenium Walk. Price tag at $899. New tiles arrived at Hafary. Plan to use this as our backsplash tiles. Bathroom tiles selection. Undecided between white or grey tiles. Waiting for Mr Merry to agree on his selection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrmerry 2 Report post Posted April 30, 2013 Updates!After a interesting twist of events, we finally reverted back to the original open concept kitchen. ( YES )Probably will add a dropping lamp over the table. The table and chair is based on what we already bought!The washer n dryer is now hidden from view behind the partition near the bi-fold doors to the service yard. Now im abit not sure about the wall tiles..Btw Anyone has any recommendations on a high powered hob, stove and oven, one that won't break the bank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrmerry 2 Report post Posted May 1, 2013 Updates from Mrs Merry!It's Happy Labour Day! The day ended late last night at Andy's office again. We were sorting out the materials selection and the new proposed layout. It was quite a struggle as the materials we like are appearing overly woody. (view above post by Mr Merry) Woody cabinets, woody dining table, woody flooring. We were switching with colour plattes and materials. And finally - we agree we must have our white quartz tabletop matching with woody cabinets.And what we change?1) The proposed backsplash tiles have to go. It will be wrapped with the same material as our table top quartz. It should look something like the pic below (grabbed online).2) The flooring. We made a drastic change from the left to the right options. To give the house a richer contrast of elements. We're still hesitating if this will be the right choice - as the flooring will be extended to the entire house. Our concerns - will it make the house darker, can we endure the look for the next 10 years? There goes the sensuous flooring we intended..All white cabinets seems a headache for a household that cooks often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrmerry 2 Report post Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Edited to omit the costings as the wifey felt uncomfortable. So the majority of stuff that needs to be in the house are bought, thats one big part down. The majority of selection of materials, look and how to do stuff in the house is also done. pending finer details like wardrobe layout and selection of sanitary fittings.Now just have to wait for approval for hacking to be approved and FSM to give us the timing to 動土 !
