  1. let me check when i go to my new house this weekend, the painter left the balance in my store.
  2. yeah yeah ... too bad the shoe rack can't hold too many pair of shoes... but ok for me cos i dun have many pair of shoes...
  3. mbr bed frame and mattress, fridge, washer and hall LCD will be delivered in this Sat. My boy bed frame already in and will be collecting his seahorse Space Memory Everlasting Mattress this Sat too. curtain tracks installed but curtain will be late. lazy to re-select the cloth so just wait till late Sept. sofa will be delivered in early Oct.
  4. thanks thanks. yes, is def worth hacking off the BR esp the room only has a 2 panel window facing the void which dun get much sunlight.
  5. yogibabe, where you buy the "GTI" bed ?? I want to get one for my boy
  6. :wub: i saw your sofa at FC and love it too! but too exp liao...
  7. yes, you can set the shelf at any height you like within the poles height. just note that once you slot in and tighten the shelf, it will be difficult to remove.
  8. my reno just completed by EI on 12 Sep. My ID is Benedict - busy, practical, friendly, neat and experience ID. I am happy with overall reno though unavoidable there were some hiccups but all are manageable. At least this round of reno experience was many times better than my 1st house. No close monitoring required. Tilers', painters' and carpentries' skill are good . But the sub-con installing the PLC are not too skillful Reno many times are about give and take. With my 1st house experience, myself and hb more or less know what we need and what are good to have. Plus some fengshui constraints, Ben actually re-drew the quite a number of design for us. When we look at ID portfolio, many times (most prob near 100%) the layout, color scheme, materials, etc are not 100% the ID ideas, hence I always tell friends who are looking for ID, portfolio does not means that your house will look as beautiful as shown on his/her portfolio. IMO, most important the quoted pricing must be reasonable and must be comfortable with the project coordinator (or ID).
  9. why not get your ID to give you more TV console design instead of picture wallpaper? Maybe hanging some paintings can be quite nice too.
  10. imo, is more comfortable to have meals at dinning table, better legs room.
  11. If you place according to the organizer with adult shoes, it can hold 20 pairs. I tried my son shoes, can double the space. Me and hb don't have many pair of shoes and we leave slippers on the rack outside the house.
  12. Are you referring to the gate? My gate cost $800 under GSS promo, original $1100+.
  13. nope, if you need delivery and installation, you need to top up. not sure how much cos me and hb cash and carry all 3 racks. If you intent to cash and carry, make sure you have at least 2 person cos is really very heavy, esp for the big one. Oh, btw the shop only accept cash.
  14. I get my company biz partner to buy for me and he brought it over for me when he flew from UK to Singapore few mths ago. You can buy it online too, but the shipping cost is going to be more than the item cost so far have not seen similar dispenser selling in sg.
  15. I got no swimming pool view leh my place is behind clear water...
  16. Kitchen new toy ... going to use it for rice and oat hope this help to create some interest for my boy to eat more rice and oat
  17. Yap, I bought it from Crystal Home from Kakit Bukit @ $769 include delivery and installation (just drilled to the wall). The building got a lot of furniture stores and there is a prominent kou fu foodcourt. I bought it from home-fix at Marina Sq. Can't rem how much liao, $50+ bah.
  18. I bought it from a shop located Geylang lor 42/44 stretch, the shop sell all kind of racks, hooks and hangers for fashion retail outlets. The 4-tiered costs $198 and the 5-tiered costs $158. The 4-tiered ones got a longer depth but all 3 are 4ft in length. They are very solid and heavy. There are some looks alike rack selling at some departmental store but they are not as solid.
  19. Reno alone without lights, kitchen hob, toilet accessories and furnitures already 46K... (my 1st house reno only 34k but is brand flat from HDB)... so buying resale flat and going to have major re-do going to burn pocket big big hole ... no more 3rd time unless i strike big sweep or toto...haahaa i redo whole house flooring, wall tiles, windows, grille, doors, false ceiling, false wall to even some recess wall, lot of hacking and added quite a number of concealed power points, SCV points and tel points... these are money which can added up to a lot but not "see-able" ...haaahaaa Two things which some commented "nicely" that I am silly in spending is my tiny balcony. haaahaa 1. I spent $1.2k to do up the balcony wall with slates and marble tiles. But so far no regrets as I like balcony 2. the top up $250 for the window grille bar to a thinner rounded version from the normal thick flatten type.
  20. it is a grocery bag can with bag holder from simple human Store
  21. MBR going to hide my TV in the cupboard toufu drawer ... actually dunno how useful this drawer doing to be, mainly for fun to have it... slide in mirror ...
  22. Buddha Table made of 鸡翅木 ("ji chi" wood). Intent to get a traditional rosewood alter table but can't find the depth deep enough for my Buddha statue, so bought one which commonly deployed in temples. The height is slightly higher than our normal table height as it is based on fengshui measurement. i find that ji chi wood grain looks very nice compared to rosewood and very nice of the shop owner to pick another piece from his warehouse which has a nicer grain and delivery to us. I was surprised to receive the piece as the one I saw in the shop, it woodgrain is not as defined. Dinning table with marble top framed with stainless steel legs. The marble print gives an obvious U feeling... either Unique or Ugly haaahaaaa accompanied by 4 swivel chairs, they are comfy... Here comes my slim shoes rack ... looks like custome made ? heeeheee... is ready-made lah but also not cheap. It comes with the shoe inserts (dunno the actual name for that thingy ) and a small corner for umbrella... Kitchen with black granite top ... after seeing the granite top , really regret doing corian top for my 1st house.
  23. My gate... love it! but experience with their sales and site measuring guy not too good ... not professional in customer handling, I have to call them to confirm site measurement appointment and keep chasing for revised quotation ... the uncle who installed the gate is friendly though. living hall + dinning hall ... simple and spacious without my furniture and my boy mountain of toys. TV console ... with Blum AVENTOS HL - Lift up system
