43atCR 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2015 Been here since the morning - waiting for someone to collect my old WCs.We sprayed all the handles again for the kitchen, sprayed the final coat for my coffee table... And everything looks great. Will re-spray my bathroom mirror and spray my new bedroom mirror gold, too. I KNOW, a lot of gold. And here's a short video of the fireplace in action: (The fireplace makes no sound - that is ambient noise)Can the brightness or "intensity" of the "fire" be tuned? As in, tune down a little to make it milder? Does it come with that option? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, it's not even like small, medium and large options only - you can press something which gradually makes the fire bigger and press to stop it when it's big enough for you!!

bykaraanne 30 Report post Posted November 8, 2015 Ended up with a 49" tv for my living room instead of a 55". Still feelin meh about it. Rationale was, I don't want the TV to overpower the room and its design elements even though I love large TVs. We did top up for a good full motion mount, so if we were to upgrade to a 55" down the road it'll be no problem too. Also, the 49" was $1k diff from 55" and hubby thought it was not that worth it to pay $1k for 6" LOL.Panasonic 49CX700 Got another simple 42" non UHD for the MBR and ended up with a Pioneer soundbar. Reviews were decent on Cnet and price was good. SBX700End up we only spent $2.6k+ on the entire set, although we budgeted $2799 for the 55" TV alone previously. win!Mattress also bought today! Sealy PosturePremier Fusion Euro Top Plush. Another $4k+++ poorer today.also bought Black & Decker 10-in-1 steam mop for said bunnies' rebellious pees outside the litter box (so I don't have to lug the big pail around)And Kärcher's electric broom for said bunnies' non stop fur and poop accidents outside the litter tray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bykaraanne 30 Report post Posted November 8, 2015 My first "completed" room - bomb shelter racks from IKEA. I know it isn't as strong as the boltless racks but I like the look of these much much more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matchalatte 16 Report post Posted November 8, 2015 the racks are really beautiful!! are the sizes customizable else how are you able to fit them into your bomb shelter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bykaraanne 30 Report post Posted November 8, 2015 the racks are really beautiful!! are the sizes customizable else how are you able to fit them into your bomb shelter?They come in various sizes! But for my bomb shelter I was really lucky, I just got 2x 120cm wide ones and they fit perfectly! they are not customizable though. But I do like them much better than the custom ones that most bomb shelters use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matchalatte 16 Report post Posted November 8, 2015 amazing, you're very lucky indeed! most bomb shelter shelves look too boring to me, they've got these holes along the sides which look like perforated lines, i really hate those. i see that taobao has bomb shelter shelvings also, did you ever consider getting from there or its better to buy here?can't wait to learn more from fellow 3 roomers like yourself and hopefully start my tblog soon. keys are taking too long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they are apparently stronger though. My dad dislikes them as he says they will rust over time.I feel that unless u rly cannot find an item here or it's super overpriced then look to TB!

For my bomb shelter, I place priority on load carrying capacity rather than aesthetics since it is in the storeroom. Mine from Yee Sin can carry 200 to 250 kg uniformly distributed load per panel. Not sure about those from Ikea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine from Yee Sin can carry 200 to 250 kg uniformly distributed load per panel. Not sure about those from Ikea.I balance the aesthetics with the load bearing capacity. Mine is 50kg per shelf and I have no intention of putting more than 50kg worth of items on each shelf.So to each their own I suppose. I really hate the normal ones and my dad does too, since they have loads of it at our provision shop last time. So since this is dad and me approved, it is good enough for us.
