Congrats.Best lor bro, Silestone Lagoon also out of stock. Stocks only coming in on 1st week of November. Think you were right, lack of stones everywhere. Have to wait till Tuesday to see if that bloody salesman calls my contractor.Miffed with him because (1) he was the guy who promised the solid top would come tomorrow; (2) after repeated calls to Evershine HQ to confirm that the new shipment would come Tuesday and would be rush-fabricated for Friday/Saturday next week, he still refuses to call my contractor to confirm this piece of information. He called today just to tell him "Tuesday then update you" when Evershine HQ promised us in four phone calls that it will be expedited for us. I am pissed. Not because I am in a rush to move in (lease ends 26 November, and I love living here, so no worries there), but all my bulky furniture have been pushed back multiple times and my TB and Amazon loots are also due the week of 9th November. I guess, just ask Edmund to chemical wash and proceed with everything and wait on the solid top. Also, I just want people to do their jobs properly. I understand things happen (we can't control stocks and deliveries!) but at least have a plan B and liaise with us, right? Instead of making the end consumer call and call. The poor office people who were burdened by this irresponsible salesman! My contractor actually refused to schedule anything because he didn't want to have to repeatedly reschedule and cause unhappiness with workers. But I cannot take this rescheduling and rescheduling anymore already la! My current rental space going to explode already... Need to start moving things over to the new house. (Packed boxes have to be lifted from the ground due to my bunnies, and I am living in a studio space. The stackable space basically only allows for 4 big boxes.

Changbp 5 Report post Posted October 29, 2015 Sprayed handles:Do you have a close up of the handle? and Does the sprayed handle look glossy? Just went ikea earlier i noticed yours similar to one of those that i saw there.Was toying with a idea of buying from Ikea at couple a bucks for 2 pieces and electroplate it gold colour from a metal treatment house. However just found out that plating cost for each is like 20nucks so gave up that idea. I like a polished and gloss handle look but not confident of Diying spray to that effect.

Haha you get me.Not say I wanna be angry... Just that being irresponsible is annoying.Yeah but everything is almost done. As of today left plumbing works and bifold doors and SY Windows only. Room doors up but yet to be painted. And the kitchen glass door / vanity top.So I guess... Will go according to plan and hope that they fulfill their Tuesday / Friday promises. Then if not, chemical wash first lor... Edited October 29, 2015 by bykaraanne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bykaraanne 30 Report post Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) On to happier things. All lights and electrical work officially done today. Sockets are all up (changed the SY one to double socket; added one at the dining area so we can have steamboat without having to use extension plug (don't say never share idea hor ), one extra each for each room (near the door, since the provided sockets are all at the window side)!My kitchen is also mostly wired. Finally starting to see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Also my doors are up but sooo yellow since according to Edmund, this is natural beauty, non-made up doors. They will be painted when my main door + gate gets painted. With my LED strip lights on + the carpentry is mostly fixed!22W is, as you can see more than bright enough for my kitchen ceiling light. The whole house is so bright!Switch area + added a double socket here with Edmund's advice even though we thought already enough. But more better than less I guess?Office / Guest BR fan + light:Seeing the boxes disappear is like... BEST FEELING EVER.Unpainted doors with my gold handles, view from living room (they WILL be painted white):MBR Door:Office Door:They will both be painted same white as the door frame. Like them so far, very storybook feel. When white, hopefully the "London" / modern classic feel would pop even more.

I like a polished and gloss handle look but not confident of Diying spray to that effect.Mine were provided by the carpenter since they had almost similar designs as IKEA so I didn't have to buy extra. Yes, plating is very ex, I have also tried to ask. You can also consider ordering Kohler ones from Amazon, but they are much shorter and also costly (US$20 for one).They are pretty shiny, but due to dust they look less shiny now. I also sprayed with clear lacquer. If time permits, I will remove them all and sand them down and respray them all over again It takes skill. But if you want it to be as shiny as the golden tap I bought, then no, I don't think anything can get you that effect with spray paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
