applefreak 1 Report post Posted September 24, 2007 Hi Apple,Check out this website...http://www.central-iron.com.sg/ourstory.htmMy chair is distributed by this company. I called them and they redirect me to the nearest shop to me that is selling their products. You can call and check with them for the nearest place to where you are staying right now. Their products are kind of old fashion but I think the some of them still retain its classical beauty like the circular rubber band chair that I have. thanks a lotwill definitely check it out after i've finally settled down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sumobear 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2007 Hi Sumobear,My frien are looking for some painting to put up in their living room, any recommendation on the shops in Spore?? Any style, artist and budget in mind? What is your friend's home theme and the colour scheme of the home especially the place where he/she want to put up the painting? You can also check out one of the forumer's thread, Diva79, she customise painting for people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very difficult for me to visualise the home setting and to tell you what is best for her coz her taste for art appreciation may be different from me. The safest graphic choice will be pictures like flower and plants. Speaking of modern home, it is not necessary to choose accessories that are modern too...she can create a contrast by using something that is ethnic like the Indian Sari...it is a beautiful fabric then she can mount on frames or just hang on a pole fixed to the wall. Wall graphics is not neccessary to be in framed format, just be creative. Another thing that I have realised in modern homes is that many people restrict themselves to colour choice, like everything must be red, black and white...actually can add another colour to create a contrast and a focus point in a space...If she want some paintings, she can try the art galleries at club street, dempsey road, Park mall and Holland Village areas. I think there is a shop at the old turf club selling quite a range paintings at a very reasonable price. 1K is quite alot leh, can let me get alot of things for my home...how i wish I can have 1K to spend for my home.Hope my thoughts can help you a bit...

I told her I am a complete idoit in display but I may consult some experts here. !! Really thks for the informations I will relay to her and hope she can digest it tooo. There is no expert here lah...aesthetic is very subjective. Some people may not like what I think is nice or vice versa. Everyone has its own way in appreciating design and art, just be yourself and do whatever you feel is good...do not bother with what other people say. I also learn about design and art through education, books and surfing loads of websites.I always feel that a home is more homely and has more character when the owner personally put in the effort to style his/her home.

Air 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 Hi Air,Concourse is a good place to hunt for things...quite rewarding. You can find artifical flowers and plants too.Your home is looking good too...I love the platform in your living room, can do modelling catwalk show.Hehe...I love to reshuffle my home furnitures to create the best visual and comfortable layout, so I will avoid having any permanent fixtures like cupboards or feature walls. Interior fashion trend changes very fast, so I do not like to constraint myself to the moving trend. I prefer to do it my way...Hihi sumobear, thanks for your recommendation! I went to concourse today with my hubby during lunch and we indeed found the vases that we like! And cheap too! Just a bit regret buying my twigs from Lifestorey....costs us over $50 for 6 big twigs when I can find one pack at $6.90 at concourse!! Heart pain..very pain... Love the artifical plants and flowers there too...looked so real....might contemplate going back for artificial plants once we've settled in our home....
