Songz 132 Report post Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Curtains and roller blindsBoth the man and I actually decided to hold back installing the curtains and blinds till a later date (after we have moved in) as we do not wish to burden ourselves financially but all of these change when we stepped into a curtain shop in jbWas initially only planning to find out what the rough costs would be to get a curtain shop to install for us as we found that many of our friends paid above S$2k for their blinds and curtains. Of course the measurements, designs and materials differ between them but the average amount that they paid was S$2kOne fine weekend when we were shopping for our lights in JB, hubby saw this curtain shop and we made a U-turn to visit itI was initially against it as we are running out of time and thought we wil just be wasting our time if we do not have the plans to install it firstFirst impression of the person serving us. She seemed quite the curt kind, giving short, to-the-point answers to our questions. However, she did give some good and practical suggestions, like the material that we choose. Again, not knowing what our windows measurements are because it was not our planning at all, we just gave an "agak-ration" measurements of what our windows would be. The price came out pretty ok for us (me think! ) and just decided to go ahead with it.I have to say this is the fastest decision made by both us simultaneously and we finished choosing the materials in half and hour's time. Arranged for a person to take measurement the following Tuesday and voila, 1 weeks later which was yesterday, they came and installed the roller blinds for us. The curtain for our living will have to come in after CNY, which we are fine with it given the short period that we have for the shopSo, here they are!! Opted for a simple ivory blackout blinds for all rooms to be in line with our theme. Simple and cosyHad to turn on the lights to take this pic as it was too dark when the blinds are down ok, thats about it for now. Time to work! For the roller bind bottom tube part, its good to paste rubber at the back part (Wall part) as sometimes constant knocking will cause some paint to drop or the tubing spoil. This happen to the one in my room (My parents house of cause) *Note : If you do not understand due to my poor explaination, let me know and I will go home and take picture to show you.Hope this helps.

OceanEleven 203 Report post Posted January 24, 2014 Master wardrobeThis is the biggest size that we can afford given the limited space. Envy OceanEleven's 11 square feet (?) wardrobe.. Oh well, will just banish the lesser worn clothes to the other rooms since it will just be the 2 of us..*Humming "Just the 2 of us" while I am typing this Close up of my wardrobe's laminates. Love the textured feelAhem.....its min 15ft.....not 11ft..... Things are looking good and all pieces are falling in bit by bit. I think this is the most enjoyable part of the reno.

OceanEleven 203 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 Sorry for the newbie question but blum drawers and blum trackes got what difference ? Correct me if I am wrong, trackers are the side tracks where the drawers slide in and out on.Blum drawers are really a drawer BUT excluding the front panel (where the handle is) and the bottom of the drawers.These, you have to ask your carpenter to make.
