haha i think she will either or if i go around telling pple what kind of price she gave. if u r keen, get the contact from me & check with her directly? smeg fridge not only complements the look, but completes it as well. so it's a pretty good investment. n i heard the fridge is from spain? i don't think so? coz i think there's a max no. of colors i can use for painting & it's still within the limit. -

Hi I bought it from MyDigitalLock. Price includes installation. It's much cheaper to buy from qoo10 but I didn't want the hassle of finding pple to install. He took slightly more than an hour to install, doesn't look that simple. -

mine's $5+..this tile i chose is from spain ..alan quoted me based on the tile i chose..so i believe he has already factored in the additional costs? eh so you have decided on alan? PS: by the way, alan is pretty generous in giving up to $3.80psf tiles. others tend to give only up to $3.40 you can choose mainly china & indonesia wood tiles based on that budget. try soon bee huat. they have a wider selection of wood tiles. -

dropped by CB2. their stuff reminded me of ikea & the way they operate is pretty similar. but their stuff are much prettier. delivery is $50 & installation is $100. free delivery for purchases more than $2,500. bought a clothes rack : & a blue color steel shelf that look like this: served by a cute looking chap who gave his business card. nowadays even retail associate has namecard -
lovely dogs you have there. sometimes i feel our lives are more complete because of them & a house is not a home without dogs
-
i used the service once. the owner Sera is very good. she even brings dogs to the beaches. suggest you give her a ring & check out her place first.

u can do it yourself..it's self adhesive so can stick direct onto the wooden door. another method is to use an acrylic plate as a base & mount it onto the gate. either way can get contractor to do it
