mavicaste 58 Report post Posted July 10, 2014 Hi neighbor,You are really hardcore and stayed true to your theme but like what you said, there is a price to pay in order to be different. There aren't many homeowners who did not deviate significantly from their original concepts and themes, so blogs like yours are always a breath of fresh air.We also toyed with the idea of doing exactly what you did with the combination of the main bedroom and bedroom 1 but in the end, practicality and budget constraints had the highest weightage in our considerations. The beams in the living room is a really nice touch instead of the black conduit pipes. Just curious, what is the material of those beams? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May I know what light blub are you using? is it bright enough?I went into the Taobao link, apparently the vendor does not supply light bulb?Just normal 5-7W light bulb. Not too bright but that's how i want it to be. If you want it to be brighter, just get those bigger bulbs. Yes the vendor don't provide bulbs. I don't think so you want their bulbs cos most likely it's not energy saving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stylocool 21 Report post Posted July 12, 2014 Walked through with KT today on the defects found. After that went to Ikea to shop for accessories and wardrobe for my son's room. Luckily borrow my FIL's lorry. Just first round only. Sure will go back for more purchases. I realised that Ikea's design is getting better. Some of the tables and chairs they have looks like designer ones. But pricing is a bit on the high side for Ikea brand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stylocool 21 Report post Posted July 15, 2014 More work needs to be done at the TV console area as my floor standing speakers are not able to sit on the i-beam. Need to add 2 steel plates to the i-beam so that my speakers can sit on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kissgurami 14 Report post Posted July 22, 2014 Corridor RenoAs we didn't get the doors from HDB, we have to get our own doors. Shockingly, there is only that much designs to choose from and definitely none of them looks industrial. So customise again lor. At first wanted to make it like a door in a ship. The door with a round window in the middle with steel grills leh. Too bad not enough Vitamin M especially when there are 3 doors to do. So we thought of making it looked vintage (just paint and sand it down) for a change. Think i have too much industrial design in the living room so nice to keep it simple here. Still some element of industrial design. Check out the hinges. Probably will paint the handle black also.Hi Stylocool,for the effect, we just have to paint and just use sand paper to rub it down?I am intending to do the same but was trying to watch youtube to figure it out.
