bumblebeez 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2013 Visited my place again... the lights are up, doors are up, painting works are done...Here's part of the living/dining room... going to put a dining table (an old-fashioned 20+ year old wooden dining table) against the wall in latte colourUploaded with ImageShack.comHere's the common toilet.. a very small toilet...Uploaded with ImageShack.comThe carpentary works are going to be up in the next few days.. keeping my fingers crossed.. hopefully everything goes fine..Anyway, if you are interested in engaging my ID, he is Sunny (97375749). He sounds quite Ah-Bengish... but he's a sincere and understanding ID. So far everything has been quite okay and his proposals have been practical and cost-saving.

IamCool 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2013 If u hv time, try taobao?Wah... Taobao seems to be getting popular liao... Wahahahaha...I also getting some small stuffs from there. Good thing is that I have fren working in China, so can save some freight and minimum quantity requirement... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bumblebeez 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2013 Yup.. Taobao is a wonderful creation of china... I got a car video cam, panasonic lumix camera and a lot of small small items from there before.... The only bad thing is the return and exchange part... Very troublesome to exchange the product if it is faulty.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IamCool 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2013 Luckily my fren (station in China) can help rcv my ordered goods, and help check on the spot in China, before helping me to bring back to Sin. If not, the exchange policy for faulty item **** headache... Anyway, cheers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diginewb 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2013 Wow bumblebeez, congrats on your new house purchased! How is your reno so far? Should be completed soon since you intend to move in on 6 Sept right? Any more photos to share Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bumblebeez 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2013 Hi Newbie.. my house reno has been quite okay.. but like all renovations, there's bound to be some hiccups here and there...Anyway did I mention i'm moving in on 6 sept? Can't remember...Here are some more pics;Uploaded with ImageShack.comThe TV console is up... I know it looks kinda boring.. but that's what we wanted.. we wanted something simple, classic and goes well with the scenery from the balcony.Anyway, I like the shelves (at the right side). They are designed by my ID. But don't know why the workers have them installed too close to the kitchen door, that the pointed edge almost hit my face when I go out from the kitchen. My designer (Sunny) actually told the workers to leave abt 1 foot between the edge and the kitchen door. My ID will be rectifying the problem...Uploaded with ImageShack.comIn case you are curious about the scenery we get.. here's a pic... very "green" isn't it? So our theme for the house is contemporary.. and the main colour / tone is brown and wooden feel. I had wanted it to have a modern look actually.. something like red, black, white... but I have a wooden piano.. and a wooden dining table (gift from my grandma and I need to bring it over to my new place).. so my ID suggested a brown/beige colour scheme for my house.

bumblebeez 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2013 More pics...Uploaded with ImageShack.comshoe cabinet at the entrance.Uploaded with ImageShack.comcabinet that forms part of the TV console. I am a very practical person. I told my ID that I can foresee myself buying a lot of useless stuff.. and I already have a lot of stuff that I need to bring over.. so I need cabinets to keep them... Anyway, the workmanship is quite good.. I was quite worried when I saw pics of bad workmanship posted by other forummers... I think mine's still quite okay.. it's not fully completed yet.. but from what I am seeing now, they seem quite okay.. the finishes are quite well done..Uploaded with ImageShack.comMy tiny common toiletURL=http://imageshack.com/i/b5ogaoj/]Uploaded with ImageShack.comPart of my kitchen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diginewb 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 Hi bumblebeez, I like your TV conso, it is simple and elegant! I would like to have something like that for my house too. Functional and yet practical, love the display shelve too (so that I can keep my precious moment fingurines!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bumblebeez 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 It is not completed yet.. will show you pics when it's done.If you like the design, you might want to contact my ID Sunny Giam. He is quite creative with designs actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bumblebeez 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2013 I'm going to move in tml.. Quite excited.. Haven't done with the packing.. Think I'd most prob move the essential items first.. Have to move the not so impt stuff in batches...As for the Reno... Like all Reno works.. It's not 100% smooth sailing.. There's bound to be minor problems here and there.. And I admit I am quite a fussy owner... I do ask my ID a lot of questions.. And he respond very fast. If there is indeed a problem, he will rectify it.. Hope everything will run smoothly tml Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
