Takaishi 44 Report post Posted June 9, 2014 I am back! So sorry for the lack of updates as I was in my high key ICT and told my ID to take things slooooowwwwwly. Many changes in design along the way, and appreciate my ID for being so patience with me. I even change my MBR paint color the very last minute when the painters going to start painting, and he was able to accommodate my request. If I am him, I sure face black black one Just some photos of the false ceiling and partitioning I have done. As I am not hacking any wall to open up spaces, I need my ceiling to remain high. Thus I only have false ceiling at the foyer area (to hide a beam running above my main door) and L-box above TV console area.For the indent in the main wall, I choose to partition it partially and overlay with stucco brick wall, acting as my living room feature wall. A shoe cum open book shelve will be built into the remaining indent to fill up the space. As my dog still marks his territory occasionally, I am worry that his pee might damaged the parquet flooring. To change damaged parquet flooring means my customised wardrobe might need to be tore down. Thus my ID suggested using OPSH system which can be dismantle! It is a pole wardrobe system using stainless metal bar as frame, mounted to 2 sides of the wall. While I free up more space to hang my clothes as there is no internal carpentry, I do not have much drawer space. Will need to get another drawer to store my folded clothes and other barang. It comes with a built in foldable mirror too!Oh lastly, I am so in love with the barn door that I managed to convince my SO to use it as our kitchen door. Managed to find an amazing contractor who is able to customise a similar one for me at a great price. Let see how this turns out when the door arrives. what is your paint coding ar? the cyan one..

Woonie 6 Report post Posted June 9, 2014 what is your paint coding ar? the cyan one..You mean the baby blue one? If so its Nippon - raindrop. But my other bedroom is painted in a light shade of cyan, Nippon - Charming.Anyway this is the feeling I am trying to pull for my MBR, and I managed to find a similar oak color bed frame from ikea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woonie 6 Report post Posted July 7, 2014 Hi everyone,Sorry for the super slow updates.My renovation is coming to an end (excluding furnishing and decoration, which is another headache) and it has been an exhilarating journey so far. Like all first timer there tend to be some hiccups and mistakes along the way, luckily got my ID and renotalk forum helping me along the way =)Alot of people have been asking me the progress of my barn door. It is up and awaiting the final coat of paint (ignore the black marks in my photo they will be gone soon), and I am loving it so far! It is exactly what I have in mind, and the quality and service given is solid.However I need to clarify that mine is not using the real barn door wheel track, as u can see from my cmi drawing. Reason being the 'real' track is out of my budget @ $800+. For those interested, Hafele Singapore carries it. Mine is using aluminium track spray painted black and 2 stripes of wood are added on top for decorative purpose. Total cost for my solid wood door and track slightly >$1000. My random display shelves cum shoe cabinet and stucco brick wall. Effect of the stucco wall turns out better than I expected after installing the lights. Using 7.5W warm LED downlight from Philips. Tracklights from taobao. Relite petite fan in matte black. This model doesnt comes with remote control and the original regulator is very very hideous. Luckily the electrician is able to change it to Legrand regulator (www.legrand.com.sg), same series as all my switches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
