mishmish 7 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 Sorry didn't take a photo of the grohe stuff on sale. But the sale lasts till they move which is in 5 weeks time. Just dunno how much stock they have. Ya I can understand what u mean. Running around looking at all the stuff made me so tired. Must drink lotsa water! I think a fan for the living room is a great idea. If not gotta switch on the aircon all the time. Zzz. Congrats on everything coming together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrmerry 2 Report post Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks mishy! Gonna go down with Mrs merry later on today. Just hope that it won't be too crowded on a Sunday though I think the chances at slim lol Besides the grohe stuff, hoping to find some additional stuff, I'm also eyeing your stool! Woke up with a aching body from the long day yesterday and today is crazy hot n sunny! But it's a tiring but happy journey so far. The id went to hoe Kee to source for my preferred stainless steel mixers n stuff but worried bout the quality from the many bad reviews so I'll have to settle from chrome finishing I guess... Sigh. Practicality n quality have to come before looks.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrmerry 2 Report post Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) We DID went down, lol. but as you would expect it, its not open. But its not a waste as we did a rough recce of the area. Today was another day in the search for the elusive unicorn.We went to internal affairs ( not opened ! ) Life Story @ marquise building, Lush Lush, Hock Siong ( actually saw the boss ! ), a few random shops in the area, Tangs and Crate & Barrel.Saw Life story shop, impression was all out n out design but not really practical nor is the quality there.Lush Lush was more of a mixed impression, as i tot some of the stuff there were interesting and the finishing was fairly good. Infact i saw this trio ( going for 240 each due to sale) i really fancy..but wifey dint..vetto it.. Originally wanted to go The Helping Hands next as heard the wood work there was not bad and its for a good cause after all but they dont open on sunday..so next trip i suppose.Saw this nice little coffee table as we were walking to the famous Hock Siong in one of the random shop but the wifey dint take a fancy to it againAnother one..nice base but the top was too boring...Finally reached Hock Siong after a long walk on a crazy hot day. But we did managed to see a few interesting shops ( one antique chinese furnishing and one very erm.. com..tempary...with..led..blue..beng..lights..tv..console.... ) Dont ask me why...Hock Siong was a very interesting place with lotsa treasures if you are lucky. Unfortunately for us, we dint managed to see anything to our fancy so dint managed tao any bao. But to kiv for future huntings.Next up, Crate and Barrel! It was one of our highly anticipated places as we really liked alot of their stuff the last time we went.</p> Edited May 19, 2013 by mrmerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrmerry 2 Report post Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) So we went to walk around Tangs to look at the misc electrical stuff we would need around the house. Rice cooker..boiler.. vacuum... Nothing interesting.. but im happy i managed to solve one issue on my mind. Which was which brand to go for for our cooking stuff. Theres alot of recommendations ard like Zebra for Wok, WMF was another which has good reviews. So on n so forth..In the end we decided.. ( pending further research )We would just get the whole series. lol. Quality was Green lighted by Mrs Merry and the design looks like i could cook my asian cuisine without any problems. Anyone has any problems with the HappyCall series? or any recommendations?Saw this beautiful piece of rock which i really loved! hahaa its going into my list..Next stop was finally Crate and Barrel. The IKEA of US with slightly better quality.Beautiful right! Plain and simple. Tried carrying/moving it.. it was too bloody heavy! But its..so so.. nice... on the KIV list.At this point, the house scheme seems to be going towards wood and stone with textures everywhere, very au natural. : D Cant wait for the florals to be in!

mrmerry 2 Report post Posted May 20, 2013 this is indeed very nice, where is Crate and Barrel located ar??It's located at Ion Orchard, Level 3 and 2. Level 3 mainly caters for the large homes. Level 2 - a small set-up meant for HDB dwellers. They are building a multi-level showroom opposite 313 Somerset. It should be ready by Nov 2013; specially cater for HDB dewellers! - Mrs Merry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hw much is it??Eh, I think each items sold separately. Not cheap I would say. Whole set-up would easily set you back by $150. - Mrs Merry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
