    One very important consideration before you purchase KDK v56vk & v60vk which I have to bring up.

    This information is only available in the installation manual.

    Ceiling fan must be mounted above 2.5m from the floor and 1m from the wall to the Blade.

    The very common reason the fan wobble is because it doesn't meet the minimum clearance.

    No matter how much you try to switch blades to try to balance it, it just won't work.

    It is not because the fan mechanism is faulty, nor is it loose.

    My fans are 2.4m from the floor but they're working fine.

    Do measure before you purchase!

    KDK v56vk is 56 inches in diameter and v60vk is 60inches in diameter.

    Good luck!

    And about warranty, KDK is high up there in terms of quality and state-of-the-art technology!

    Unless you never shower when you buy lah.

    Thanks duckie

    Don't remember seeing this kind of lid rack in ikea though - did you get it fr the tampines branch?

    I like yr reno and finishing of yr place - very inviting and down to earth!

    It's definitely from Tampines Ikea.

    But I'm not sure which section, as it's either a magazine or a lid rack.

    Hi duckie bro,

    Like yr design very much.

    Very home and warm looking, different from the usual clean clear showroom designs but cold looking that everyone else have.. :thumbs up:

    I am very interested to do the cement screed flooring for my living/bedrooms like yrs.

    After mths of staying, any thing to share with us on such floorings?

    Does it stain easily? water/oil..etc

    How to maintain? mopping?

    Understand u apply a coating...does it help?

    Hope u can share with us on yr experiences...

    Best is allow me to visit, haha??

    Thank you for your generous compliment.

    a. It doesn't stain easily as it has been waterproofed

    b. maintenance, same as any kind of flooring, vacuum and mop. No polish required

    c. A coating is compulsory, and there're alot of different kind of finishing, depending on your preference

    I would love to invite everyone to my place, but my fiance thinks that our place's very private and special to us.

    Maybe when she's not in town. haha

    hi there, i simply dig your loft (if am using the term correctly)! looks very studioish and sohoish.

    something any designer of any discipline would love to stay to feel inspired

    toilet is really a statement itself and boy, using the all-in-one hob and oven really iconic.

    really a reno well done!

    hope you share with us all the stories behind all these ya

    Thank you for your compliments!

    I designed the interior myself, for the first time

    Therefore, I was quite skeptical about it as it felt very experimental.

    Comfort and usability were my top priorities.

    Nevertheless, none of the furnishings are built-in, so I can move things around if they seem out-of-place.

    I had all the amateur drawings of the lightings and electric points, will dig them out and post it online.

    Am very very busy now with wedding coming up next month, so I'll prolly update this blog when I'm ready.

    Right now, I would love to share any tips and hints for your on-going/coming projects!

    Many of you asked about the kitchen sliding glass door, so I'll just post the specification here.

    My kitchen sliding door : width, 1.4m by height, 2.1m. Thickness, 12mm.

    Tempered glass.

    It's abt $750-850.

    sorry you lost me at "copon polyurethane" lol. i have no idea if they used 108 or 107..i just gave my contractor the jan 2010 issue of H&D and told him i wanted my floor to be like that. very small bits of our floor are peeling as well but not too drastically yet. and our sofa leaves a deep scratch if we push it across the floor..have to buy those furniture glides thingy from homefix.

    Haha, from what you describe, it should be copon polyurethane+hardener.

    You can request your contractor to apply another layer of it in future, anytime.

    Avoid letting mop water residue on the floor for too long as it causes the peeling effect you're experiencing now.

    Good luck!

    Let's keep each other informed of other tips on our floor!
