plainsharon 20 Report post Posted November 2, 2013 Hi hi, thanks for looking at our eclectic little house. It is a mix of themes as we like different stuff so long it's colorful! And we like vintage obviously The Iona fan was one of the last 2 units at Mustafa and possibly, Singapore. For the clock, which one are you referring to? The one in the living room?Nice~ I am looking at Iona or similiar brands in this style too. But will slowly look around. Yes the clock in the living room.

Day 27Half Brick wallHi Sharon, I'm not sure is that the brick wall effect you want but looks like there is not enough gap in between bricks for the grouting to be applied.You can check out this topic >> http://www.renotalk.com/forum/topic/59857-our-new-place/page-2 . The owner has to ask their tiler to redo the wall again.It could be due to the way the photo was taken or due to the lens used but there is enuff gap in between the bricks for grouting. No worries, my hubby check and there was about 1cm to 1.5cm gap in between. Thanks for bringing it up to us. I called hubby to double confirm whether there is space in between. Not sure if the gap is wide enough though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
