singhao 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2007 Haha did the designing myself. Took some time to discuss with my wife what our needs and wants are..both at the present and the future.... then with that came space planning, then decide on the overall look or theme... then used Google Sketchup to help visualise how the space would flow and look. Had to revise and adapt along the way due to budget and contractor's skill level, but at least the space planning is retained.Anyway, had a bad time with the contractor. Wouldn't recommend to anyone loh... HeadacheI guess we can never be satisfied with our reno... Constrained by time, energy, money. And one thing's for sure, you can't wow everyone... so as long as I feel happy to be home, I think it's a reno well done bah...hehe ya lor. singhao who is ur ID?next time we drop by again to the apartment, i come gate crash ur place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gendon 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2007 Hi Blueberi Don't be sad lah....or sweat the small stuff. I'm sure with a beautiful personality like yours, you can sprinkle it in your home with your hubby together. After all, the reno is done already, so now's the time to focus on other parts of home decor: injecting you & your hubby personalities for your home. aiya dont look back...good enough that everything has already done up....better than those done half way and run away....True, true...very true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deathcoth 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2007 ESSENTIAL™ Wall Dimmers are a completely new and aesthetic way to adjust the lights in your home. Instead of reaching for a traditional cold, plastic dimmer switch, imagine adjusting your lights with just a touch of soft, inviting fabric. A simple tap of the tufted textile sensor turns on, off or dims the lights. Our fabric dimmers transform a purely mechanical task into an intriguing sensual experience and add a beautiful touch of contemporary design to an otherwise plain wall.Each dimmer is handcrafted in Seattle, WA from Designtex wool felt, conductive yarns, neoprene, and acrylic. Electronic fibers are embedded directly into the material, so there are no hidden buttons or switches in the fabric. All you feel is the allure of a soft, fuzzy surface. Available in 14 captivating colors, ESSENTIAL™ Wall Dimmers are modern, minimalist, and luxurious. Our dimmers put the finishing touch on any interior. Easy-to-install, the ESSENTIAL™ Wall Dimmer is antimicrobial, stain resistant and UL listed. All IFM's high quality, exclusive electronic textile products are rigorously tested for safety and durability. this is going to be real sweet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
