Anchoring Down

[AnW 2]

ID selection has been challenging maybe because of the budget that we have set. We thought that we will just to just 3 ID/contractors but ended up with 5.

1) Janet - Recommended by a friend. Both of us like her, can readily give ideas and prices on the spot. But the quote was above our budget.

2) Legendary Mr K - My wife met up with him, shortest discussion among the designers, probably bz with the volume of requests generated from this forum, so not sure if he understood what we wanted, but he did revert with quote that was slightly above our budget.

3) Alvin - Currently doing a project for our friend so we checked him out. nice guy but shot down my wife's ideas ...death knell

4) Sam - Our favourite, love his ideas and his initial quote. But recently went MIA after we refined our requirements..we were so close to confirming him

5) Pete - Really detailed person and quote was close to we had budgeted, but somehow we can't bring ourselves to commit yet unlike number (4)

So we plan to look a couple more before confirming...*fingers crossed*

Just curious which firm is Sam from?

Hi anyone knows where to get wardrobe accessories like those pulled out hanger thingy for trousers? ID mentioned IKEA ones are not conventional sizes, not sure true or not

[bert7332 10]

"Forced" to make our first purchase for our home even though keys not here yet because franc franc did not want to wait for us.

Eyed this set for 1 year and finally made the plunge for it today, hope it can fit in the design for the home and hope no defects on date of delivery since we can't exchange it since they are shutting down

Got a 10% off and the savings went to this cute little thing

http://www.francfranc.com.hk/eng/product_details.aspx?id=1163

Not sure what to use this for but we will figure out later... Also bought an assortment of bowls and plates.. More like a rushed buy , feel so kiasu

We will miss franc franc which offers more than ikea for us, hope they will be back soon... Loyal fans, please head on down

really sad to see FrancFranc close shop. quite like their stuff. Better go down and grab some bargains soon.

Hoping to get your keys soon, really curious to see how you do up your place

[bert7332 10]

Yea better go down, a lot of stuff gone Liao. Asked if there are new stock, they always replied with all of it are on the shelves, so not sure if they can last till May.

We are getting visuals this week, excited to see how it looks like as we made a lot of cuts and sacrifices to use this ID. Fingers crossed.

ya i went back again last week to see if there is anything else to get..seems like all the furniture are cleared out except for some defective pieces.

No sure if they will ship from their HK or Japan outlets or not.
