It is my fault cos I asked them to put powerpoint there first but it did not occur to me abt the height when I ordered the console.....

- All cables changed to white cables already

- Overall rating : 7/10 (Sturdy, solid wood as stated but paint work is SO-SO) Can't complain too much, paid only $150+)

We were too tired from the massive cleaning that we forgot to take photos. This is the only photo taken after cleaning.

Our Dining Area (Bench is missing here... oops)

Study Room chair!!

TB bar stools and Ikea shoe bench cum rack

Using Amcon Express for the foyer light, track lights, tracks and bar stools. Still thinking whether to add the TV bench or not . The rest of the small items will be via Peeka.

In the meanwhile, off TB-topic....

We are getting this simple pendant light from Ikea for our dining area. We feel that too much details in the house will overkill the theme.

Window grilles today and peeka shipment arriving next week. Wow, things are happening a tad too fast. We can move in realllllly soon and embark on the furnishing journey which, to me, is a more painful process.
