tjoeshue 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2011 A quick intro of our ID.Our ID Desmond is a very patient man, cause we keep changing our mind, and thus he had to keep providing the drawings, the drawings he gave us can be turned into a book lolNow, we had our own share of meeting 8 IDs/ Contractors. He was different, he is very confident of his work that he gave us free drawings on our 2nd appointment, even though we had not confirm him yet.Now, my queen wanted something different, we had seen the past work of the other contractors/ID, she got only one comment for them which is conventional lolI will just show some of the ID drawings that he providedthe below copy was scanned thus the poor quality. he liked to gave us in A3 size paper...

strikingreality 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2011 You got &Tradition's Megabulb!!! :sport-smiley-004: I was eyeing it for a very long while, but in the end found a good alternative. (Wasn't sure if it was available in Singapore, cuz I first saw it online)Where did you get it? How much did you get it at?Somehow the lights you have shown so far and the shops you've been to doesn't really seem to "gel" with the 3D drawings you ID has provided, esp for the living and dining areas.
