That is for sure, if that happen I will throw the bed out!

Not going to keep this divan, got some water damage that time because of my rental unit air-con leak.

But thank you sarah for giving the website, the legs some of them are really kinda cute.

I think the renovation is going to end very soon (I think), but up till now my shopping still yet to complete.

I don't know why I am never a fast hand fast leg kind.

As for the house, lots of things is done.

1. Quartz Counter Top and backsplash, installed

2. All lights installed

3. Bosch oven, delivered and installed

4. Teka Hob, delivered and installed

5. Vanity Mirror, backsplash installed

6. UniArm installed

7. Power plugs, installed

I went over after my dinner to check out the unit with all the lights on (been a week since I last went), so here is some of the photo.

Day 70 - Shopping Update

This weekend I also did some shopping, as much as I still not get my bed frame. ><"

But I still manage to get a few things done.

1. Finally make the decision to go for a 55" Full HD TV, because with a super good price so I go for the Sony KDL55W800c

2. Ordered the side table for the living room (but need to wait up to 16 weeks )

3. Ordered the armchair with ottoman

4.Bamboo ladder for my dry vanity area (to hang my cloths that I wanted to wear for more than 1 time)

on top of that, I also shortlisted one bed frame I saw at Harvey Normal,

I like the Hai armchair and the grand entrance to the walkin cabinet and vanity area! Look awesome for a bachelor pad!

The TV I bought a year ago is the older Sony Bravia 46" full HDTV KDLW46954A. I hooked it up to a mac mini and a Danish brand Airplay speaker Libratone Loop I looted for less than half the retail price here from Amazon during Black Friday sales last year, with free global shipping: )

Bro, I re-read your blog... really coming along very nicely.. waiting for your final product 👏

One question: the open net thingy is alr installed but I have changed placement of tv at the other side of the room. Do i need to change the location of open net box?

[Luxexplorer 2]

Hoot hoot! So exciting to reach this stage because every like design and colours are coming to life instead of just seeing it in our head.

This 3rd bed gets a vote from me and I think it will overall go with your interior design.

Did you paint any other colours besides the grey at the small corner ?

Show more photos of your beautiful kitchen because it looks really cool and I love black .

I love that Hai armchair as well, sit liao don't want to get up, how I wish I have a bell and ring for a butler (like my house very big like that)

It is a very good idea to use Mac Mini to work as an entertainment hub, maybe I can think of you later stage or few years after I move in (because I will be super broke)

but I will hook up Apple TV for my movie and Netflix.

Love Libratone design, but didn't try the sound before only see it at Apple online store last time,

I wanted to get a speaker for my room, been trying lots of speaker (B&W, Bose, B&O, SONOS, Naim Muso) but my heart tell me I should go for Linn Kiko, but the price is no way I can afford. hahaha

Lazyfatcat, thanks for the compliment and acknowledge. hehe.

For the open net point, it really need to see what you trying to achieve, if you don't mind that location because it will be where your modem, router located.

So there are few things you have to consider,

1. Are you going to use Singtel MIO TV? If yes and if I not wrong the set up box need to be connect to the network via cable (so it will be good for you to relocated the ONT near your new TV console area)

2. Is there a power point near by the current location? Because Modem, Router all need to power up.

3. Do you have or plan a furniture to place the router and modem?

I think this is what you need to consider, I place the ONT in the store room just that I find it will be more less messy and I will have network point in area I think I need to have internet.

But again to relocate the ONT will cost you few min few hundred (less than 300 I think), but if you feel that is look nicer to place your router at your TV console that you should move it, and again with all the streaming service these day and internet TV, by doing direct connection the internet speed is always faster than WIFI connection.

This is my 2 cents lah, if anyone here are better in network please jump in and give Lazyfatcat advice ya. Thanks thanks

Yes super excited, but again need to keep my finger cross wish there is no boo boo happen.

Ya I think the 3rd bed work well with the house and also not metal, but again I yet to see the one from Grafunkt, need to find time go down to the store at Tai Seng (yes Tai Seng again! I don't know how many times I been there liao.)

The whole house is going to be white (I am a white wall person and no future wall in the house, lolz)

The small corner is going to be my dry pantry for my coffee machine and wine rack.

I will try to snap more photo and show you if I went over the place again.

How's your coming along? Any update?

Your house is super nice NextStep!

I love love everything so far.

Cannot wait for your furniture to go in!

Nextstep, thanks for the detailed explanation! Open net should include this in their website!

I think worth every penny you spend on it.

The view with the door, wardrobes and the vanity really is Pinterest-worthy!
