How much you bought the fino 2, and is it wobbly or hard to install? Looking to buy Fino 2, but dunno will have problem like u faced with the Elmark.

Fino 2 would not wobble i believe. Its a different kind of Fan. The blades are oriented at an angle to the ceiling whereas normal ceiling fans blades are parallel to the ceiling.

I have the Fino1, i believe installation for Fino2 is similar. You wiill need to put 2 holes into the ceiling to mount the bracket. Put in another additional hole for the safety wire. Assemble the stem/motor/blade assembly and hook onto the wall bracket, Wire the power lines up. Slide the cover up to hide the wiring and tighten it, set the blade angle and you are done. Switch power on and play with the remote + enjoy the breeze.

I was really keen to use Kompacplus for kitchen top but had changed because the hubby is sceptical on how Kompacplus will last hence we had decided to use good old granite for kitchen top in the end! I'm happy on the outcome as it gives a nice contrast to the wooden laminates. We choose full black granite without any shiny particles 

The wrong alignment of the oven had been resolved too and the excess space had been replaced with a pull out pantry which is waiting for the doors to be installed. 

Initially we opted for solid top for MBR vanity to save cost but when we went down we saw granite being used 

After checking with Contractor E he informed that there was some misunderstanding and ask if we can accept it and he will charge us as solid top  of course we are more than willing to accept this!

Do note that Granite though more ex, it is porous. That is one of the reason pple uses solid top in toilets, as it is non-porous, and toilets are less prone to scratches compared to kitchen.

But since yours is black granite, should not have so much of a problem ^^.

Yeap! I hope that if one day the dirt get sucked into the pores of the granite it will not be obvious too since its in black. I don't want to spend all my time cleaning the table top

More Taobao buys update! I used to feel excited when I have parcels but at this point, after unwrapping x numbers of taobao parcels I felt that unwrapping parcels are **** tiring and I don't feel excited anymore 

i like solid wood furniture hence all of the pieces are made from solid wood and Taobao's solid wood furnitures prices are super attractive! 

Solid wood TV console 

Extendable dining table. 

Bought lotsa wooden hangers from Taobao. Cheaper than IKEA! Seriously I wipe these hangers till I my hands **** sore 

Dressing table for my mum from Taobao. When the cover of the table is lifted, there will be a mirror. 

2 Y-bone chair which I have not decided if should use it as dining chairs or for dressing table. 

Stool which is going to use placed near main door for wearing shoes. 

Wooden hanger. Love these! 

Wooden hangers near main door area as well. I'm going to place a stool here so we can sit down while wearing our shoe and the hanger can be used for hanging bags etc 

Wood framed mirror. I almost wanted to buy from Muji and they are selling at $189 I think then decided to take a risk and buy from Taobao instead! It cost $50+ from taobao hence some $ saved! If you realized, the doors are installed too. More pictures in next post

Previously I mentioned that the Elmark ceiling fan is too big for the common room that the casement wardrobe cannot be opened properly. The top casement needs to be cut half and let it open from both sides not as nice because of the line in the middle but better than waiting for accident to happen. It's just not possible to remember to off the fan first before opening the shelve. 

Elmark fan for the other common room which is going to be my work room. 

Vanity and mirror from Taobao installed by plumber. 

Plumber installed other toilet accessories too but the towel rack is slanted! need to drill again as its really very obvious.

Thank you!! I love the sliding doors too. Initially was unsure of the doors because they are expensive! Not sure if it will be worth the slurge but luckily it turns out very nice! 

Will be keeping the toilet bowls for now because no more Budget to change them  will be changing the toilet seats cover hopefully can beautify the WC a little

to confirm:
the cushion you bought from this links come with the cover and cushion together?
the print is only on one side or two side of the cover?

 

Thanks
