Cantona7,

Still thinking whether to use iron rod or the pully system because I have a unique dimension especially for the living room!

Will show the final pic once it is up

Hi Morghanjess,

helo hazel! u're here too! Morghanjess's hse is really veri country nice hor?? i'm practically drooling looking at the pics. cant wait to get my hse n do it up also hehe.

hello Morghanjess.. was introed to ur blog by another forummer as i was looking for country/english style decor hses. ur hse is really really really veri nice! the type of decor i like which is so rare in SG. so happy to have found ur page.

tks so much for the info u provided for country lovers, i've taken down le so that when i get my hse i can use it

hey 1 thing i wanna ask u country lovers.. white furnitures are veri nice n suit the country theme but my dad n quite a number of frens mentioned tell me not to get white..say white is not lasting.. like maybe it will change colour over the yrs to yellowish? or get dirty veri easily, hard to maintain.

anybody got advise/comments on this part? or is there certain type of material tat wont change colour so easily n easy to maintain one?

hey EVEULOVEME,

you are still here! thank you for your compliment.

Hey piggiedearz,

send me your link once you house is in the process of renovation .. soon right

AS for the white furnitures.. it depends on each individual .. try to do a spray paint .. on wood grains .. so that if it ever turn yellowish over time, the grain will help to make it look not-so-obvious ..

ultimately .. what i did is .. every week .. i just use a plain cloth with Water .. and just wipe it over .. and looks good. My ID told me if it ever turn yelowish .. just use a LITTLE BIT OF tapentine .. and clean it over..as good as new

so that is the only disadvantage of white furnitures .. BUT back to what you want .. if you really want to return home to a world of COUNTRY setting after working in between 4 walls of modern/high tech office.. well, its a good form of investment for a relax life...

dont you just wish when you wakes up .. its surrounded by the feel of country and chirping of the birds outside .. WOW!!! haha

anyway ..be sure what you want as there are alot of country style. Mine is English country.

there are :

1. french country style

2. english country style

3. roman country style

4. australia country style

5. greece country style...:0)

HAVE FUN!!

HI piggiedearz!

Alvin! haha! yes ..say hi to him because he wanted to come to my place to take some pics .. but seems like he is quite busy now. maybe with your quote? Tell him I am from Castle Green, he will knows.

Yes yes! i give that that number! direct contact! ask for Jeremy : 65630667 .. he is still there, not to worry.

So far, i inspected the things i ordered from him, good, not bad, good workmanship also!

Let me know if you want to know more contacts ..

u have a nice country house!

we have the same sofa too. but mine is the white and blue stripes one.

[morghanjess 0]

REALLY! t he blue one! almost got that one ..

but after thinking which suits the English house theme .

we chose that

but hard to find loh ..the perfect sofa ..

so make-shift first till we find the perfect one.

some perfect ones are too expensive though .. haha

[eveuloveme 0]

hi 'morghanjess'

AGREE with u... those really country style ones are too expensive.

i kind of like the laura ashley sofa but they are 2 seaters too small...

my place has not TOP.. now has alot of rumours abt when going to TOP

some neighbours said by jan.. some said by march.. so dunno when also can start reno hahaha
