I love your living room's floor! Hmmm... I think a couple of paintings plus decorative items like plants, vase, sculptures, table lamps will enhance the whole living room. That's just my humble opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Makanology 29 Report post Posted June 19, 2013 Go to TB to buy the decorative items and then you can stretch the budget further which is what we are doing. Usually it is the decorative stuff that will enhance the look! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jus4fun 4 Report post Posted June 20, 2013 Edd bro, ur hse is simple & neat! 住得舒服 most important. I'm sure with the deco stuff, it'll build up its own character de. As for the tables, charis & other loose furniture, can slowly upgrade over time when they wear & tear, & u recoup from the damage now.. hee hee It's an on-going process, no need to rush for everything at one go de.. A bit back-dated, but looking at ur bed again, u mentioned before my $799 ss mattress+bed frame can buy 2 of ur queen size liao! u mean u got ur queen mattress+frame for only $400? very gd buy leh!! And I see no gap bewteen ur frame & wall.. cant recall if u decided to do away with air-con in MBR or do trunking on top.. PS. Many of u toking abt and buying frm TB.. i really admire u all dare to buy relatively big-ticket items like furniture, lightings, wash basins, etc. from TB. i went in before but nvr got myself to buy anything (even deco stuff) from there.. mainly due to mus go thru local agent for delivery.. i buy mostly from Qoo10, ebay.. but more exp lo than TB(?)

Hahaha.. You should give it a try. Buying from Taobao isn't that difficult. I gave it my virgin attempt when I bought those crystal lightings and now I can't stop buying. Hahahaha! I think majority of the items are cheaper than ebay, Qoo10 but if you factor in the shipment then I can't be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
