LinDa 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) Hi Linda,I've also use the same colorful streaks as your wardrobe, our wall is in purple color.hope it will turn out as good as yours tks, hehe.. i think the colourful streaks against purple walls will be even nicer coz very sweet combination!! i think my loud green is a bit too strong for the streaks..wardrobe doors for yr mbr??Hi Linda,Is it becos of location u are getting a resale in BP as I believe there are still lots of empty flat in BP. Mind if I ask how much u paid for your resale.Actually BP was my first choice but we ended up getting one in Wd because my sisters and parents are residing here and my in laws is in Yishun so more convi for us to get ard on weekend.Read abt ur sofa plight and mus be frustrating for u, I have my fair share of hiccups as well during my hunting process but I mus say on retrospect it is a enjoyable exp and my only grouse was that we did not spend enuff time looking ard for a sofa and my next sofa I will definately get from either OM or Cellini.yup, i find those new units though bigger and cheaper (very tempted to buy at first) are too deep in the estate.. got this resale for $305K (valuation $310K).. in case u wondering, its on the 11th floor..next yr son going into primary 1, so its more convenient to be next to shops (especially popular bookshop) in case he needs any last minute supplies.. kids very forgetful one plus i'm a one big blur mummy so safer.. my first choice was those new flats (tall tall one) next to west mall.. i like that location as next to bt batok mrt (1 stop away fr jurong east mrt exchange) and west mall got cinema!! but coz its less than 5 yrs so only 1 unit was selling back in november when i was flat hunting and asking price was way too high for my budget..near parents/siblings very important.. really.. my parents stay within 5 mins drive (15 mins walk) and mil stays within 15 mins drive (30 mins walk).. especially when u have kids.. sighs, sofa problem is a big headache.. today was another sofa shopping day..

LinDa 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) Was at Furniture Mall Celini on Sunday to take a look at their sofas as I find that their price is really so much more affordable than the rest I've seen. Intended to get a cheaper one for MBR living.Too long (3m). I love this fabric.Not too bad but no arm rests (taking only the centre portion as looking at a 3 seater).Find this simple.But, when we went to Celini at Tradehub (much bigger) today, Vincent finds the three sofas I shortlisted above normal, which is actually, his courteous way of saying, NOT NICE! Idiot.. Told him he got high taste la, anything cheap he don't like one.. But I can't fault him coz I always tell hubby this saying 'if its expensive, it may not be nice BUT if its cheap, confirm not nice!!'. Haha~Targeted to get the sofas die die by today coz of the turnaround time. So went to Evov Living at Holland Village after that. Actually, me and hubby went to the outlet at South Bridge (they carry different models at different places) to see their 'Demi' model in the morning first but find it too hard for our liking. The design is really nice.Though not on display, after advice by the sales staff at the South Bridge outlet, decided against the below 'Box" I posted previously as its too low. But Maggie (the very nice girl whom attended to us at Holland Village) says its super comfy. Cannot try so no comments but to interested people, they do have the 'Box' model coming into their Holland Village showroom for display this Thursday onwards. We can't wait so no choice.

LinDa 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) Finally, we bought these two sofas for $3,000. Really busted my original sofas budget of $1,500. The OM Andrew already exceed by $500 but these is like double. I need to that I strike 4D/Toto/Big Sweep or it rains money soon.'Del' (new model) 3 seater but in 2.2m length for living room. It will be in off-white with black furry cushions. The sofa comes with 2 cushions but now GSS, they are throwing in another 2 cushions.The difference 'Del' and 'Demi' is that you cannot see the sofa legs whereas, for 'Demi' and 'Box' (lower version of 'Demi'), you can see the stainless steel legs. I love these legs lor, looks sleek. My OM Andrew has similar legs. 'Lex' single chair + 'Lex' arm chair for MBR living. It will be in off-white pvc with black furry backrest (similar as picture but picture is leather which is so expensive). Vincent fell in love with this sofa when he walked into the showroom as he sees the versatility aspect of it. At first, it did not impressed me but after he explained, I think its really interesting. I could place it like a normal 3 seater or tilt it at an angle as day bed or separate the 2 to become 2 separate chairs with the coffee table in the middle. Whereas for the back rest cushion, I can change the material to make it more retro (loud colour), classic (floral prints) or modern (single solid colour). Very fun to play with. Hence, end up, I wanted a cheaper MBR living sofa but it cost more than my living sofa.I love the C-shape coffee table but its $400 and I really got no budget now. Guess got to move in, save a bit more and than buy le. Edited June 4, 2007 by LinDa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
