Makanology 29 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 Hi Edd, you bought the high gloss red Lack table as coffee table is it? The color is really nice right? But it is not easy to clean. Dust can be seen easily and if use a wet rug to wipe it, the water marks will show. We have 2 pieces of this so to make it easier to maintain, we bought table runners to cover them. Haiz...

Bengologist 1 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 Finally, i can say my reno journey has ended, moving in date would be somewhere next week! Wish everyone who are currently renovating will also completed theirs smoothly and without much hiccups!Today, ryan came to fix up the blinds...yes the boss himself, honored sia! and special thanks to fragile beng for his recommendation! With the blinds installed, somehow the whole place look more complete! Living room, panel blinds were chosen as i wanted some wind to come in from the windows, as my corridor side is actually rather windy at times, dun waste the natural air ar! Partial blackout just like fragile beng's to let light in too.@makan....my coffee table even smaller than yours!Master and common room, black out blinds as usual, cream color, but can't capture the actual color itselfwell, that's all folks, thanks for those who read my humble blog, it's really a simple reno with nothing much to show. Hahaha! Don't mention it! Sharing is caring! Ryan is really a very friendly guy with top-notch services, so it's worth recommending to everyone! Wow! Your blinds really complement your house very well! It really looks much much better after its installation. Congratulation on your graduation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess he didn't tell you how talkative am I when I negotiate very hard with him on giving me a good price and good discount. LOL! WOW! I didn't realise that he's my T-blog fan too! Guess I should have an autograph session soon! Wahahahahaha! Just kidding! Hmmm.. My ID told me that he's waiting for the replacement chandelier to arrive in Singapore and waiting for his electrician to come install it. Not exactly sure what's going on because my mom has been the one liaising with him. As of today, it's still not replaced. Guess I will give him a call later to find out what's going on. Anyway how's everything? Managed to move into your new house and unpack all the boxes? It's a tiring job but at the end of the day when you see everything in order in your new place, you will smile broadly and think it's worth the effort and wait.

Guess he must have offended quite a few Gods to suffer such tragic fate of meeting a bad luck customer like me. Wah! Most of the items are bought? Guess your pockets are bleeding as fast as my ID's pockets. Haha! But well, since this is the first home, it's totally worth every single cent spent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
