  1. true story! haha.. and tks for the network adapters! cause seemingly after closing the mbr doors, i suffer major signal loss from the connection
  2. try lush lush (furnitures are from down under) as well and ghee hong furnitures but correct me anyone here, the above 3 are all doing replicas right.
  3. ooo i misunderstood. i thought you was going to introduce some gloss black with the yellow in the background. am glad the yellow will go cause is either make it or break it but likely the latter. haha my house is grey, white mainly dressed in stainless steel and gloss laminates. another primary color can add contrast to the house and we're strictly on just 1 more color, nothing more, so there's this constant reminder with our purchases.
  4. Nice to see you around still in RT! Talk about un-furnished and un-finished business, likewise, my games room is NEVER done up yet. hahaha Happy New Year too!
  5. chanced upon your tblog while revisiting renotalk forum after quite a hiatus really like the way you handle your reno - slow and steady, only doing what you really want and what you really like. the location is definitely unique and really give the peeps here a fresh take on reno since i'm assuming many are hdb dwellers like me. having said that, imho, just wanna comment that you gotta make sure the prolonged reno has focus and stays to the theme. somewhat, i feel from months to months we may feel different bout how the minimalism look as in clean sharp straight look vs rich curvy infinity look. i'm guilty of that, so just want to share with you. i must say the choice of yellow orange is really daring! good for you!
  6. hey sir!! been awhile! happy 2012! i think i said before right.. before you know it. the reno is all complete and look we're into a new year already! look how great your reno turns out to be! browse through and see that you're into quirky and unique buys too! nice collection you have ya
  7. gee.. is been so long i almost forgotten how to upload pictures to here. 2011 come and go and I hoped everyone's reno had been a smooth and satisfying one. well, for those doing their reno in 2012, i cannot tell you how rewarding yet tiring a renovation can be. but for what is worth, hang in there! renotalk forum is here for you to share your excitement if not rant your reno woes. is highly therapeutic trust me. we been wanting to dress up the games room but alas procrastination sets in (badly) and it just escapes us. we set our mind to get it done up this year, so we're just crossing our fingers. neverthless, the past year is filled with quirky buys! here's to kick start 2012 with our 2011 nonsensical yet we-knew-we-had-to-buy items! Top: one of the outstanding items that was really long overdue?! it was really the pesudo blood stains that made us buy this when we were in HK recently! finally a doormat for the house Top: been a few places to shop for our mahjong chairs but none caught our eyes? but when we were at "Like That One" sometime back in August, we just had to buy this when we saw it! we really like the discreet retro feeling there Top: the clock that we've been talking for the past year. inspired or rather copied entirely from a page in "home & decor", this clock from Lifestorey with its chrome and reflective square surface fits the house decor to a T! The lines of orange help to break down the otherwise flat white. Top: Tissue box from Hong Kong too. We swear to you we had everyone talking each time they realised it is a tissue box! haha Top: Our defined corner for seasons' greetings. This time, we stashed away our xmas tree and decided to go for little items to go along with all our quirky buys! Second day of Jan of 2012! Here's wishing everyone best of health and lucks, a prosperous and bountiful 2012 ahead! Happy Renoing everyone!
  8. Thank you for dropping by my T-blog. Yes, is been a year since we moved in and we still love our kitchen like we love it the first day we moved in! Unfortunately, procrastination sets in and WE HAVE YET TO DO UP OUR GAMES ROOM. HA! partly also because we are so in details that we really takeeeee our time on it (but that's more like an excuse anyway). but we haven been happy filling the house with quirky buys though! let me try uploading some pics! will b good to kick start this tblog for 2012
  9. Tks for dropping by! 1. I would say it wasn't intentional. We wanted to adopt a minimalist feel, do decided the flush the long wall with this cabinets to get rid of the recess on the long wall where the cabinets are now. With minimalist, the colors matters, so it just happened that it turned out this way. but yea, it does look like piano keys now that you mentioned it. ha 2. Yes, it is. although not all are openings. judos to our ID, he was creative enough to give it the illusion like every "key" can be opened. but in actual face, some are cut in i.e "openable", the rest are jus a visual effect. 3. ok, I will try. stay tuned! 4. space behind tv is just laminate over it and nothing more. alhtough a hole had been cut to throw in the wires. Hope it helps!
  10. hey there... no problem at all! is my way of giving way after learning so much from this forum too. yea, the island is also our fav piece in the house. Like That One pride themselves as retro chic boutique and they do have some unique and been-there-done-that pieces that surely catches attention. but of course, at boutique prices alike. if you're tired from Iwannagohome, hitting such stores definitely refreshes! apart from like that on, there's places like Lorgans, Restore and Second charm. Second Charm offers best pricing in my opinion. Plus, they can customise the re-touchup and re-color your pieces. Go for pencil leg kind for a loud yet subtle retro statement! thanks for dropping by my tblog btw!
  11. out of sight, out of mind. this is really true. just a simple harlow harlow to keep my little reno journey in here alive. hope everyone i spoke to via pm is doing great. time really files! soon a year of moving into bukit panjang. still lots of diy not done, but hey at least the mahjong chairs are bought from "Like That One"! HA! seriously, haben been snooping around in here to check out the recent unbelievable renos! is always therapeutic reading up the beautiful pics coupled with the behind the scenes stories and close-to-heart journeys hope to buy that pocket of time seriously cya around guys!
  12. this totally cracks me up!! do you know how unwilling she is!! hahaha and boy look how the place turned out to be!! if i may sum it up, free-spirited whimsical eclectic look! is been a long drawn eventful journey albeit the best one to lead you where the heart is - home. is a wrap!
  13. kind words there!! really! thank you, thank you i'm looking at yrs with earnest attention too btw. ha!
  14. is always worth logging on to renotalk now and then because some reno seen here really are noteworthy! totally love your space and the details to complement it. i put up some of my fav tblogs seen here on my tblog. do check it out, scandi, minimalist.. is all there! will definitely be back to check on your reno
  15. i must say fine taste on the choice of furnitures - exquisite and with class. with that, you must have a matching deep pockets too. ha! no offence, just joking ya. well, better late than never, welcome to RT! really nice squarish layout you have there and 2 balconies?? wow if i may suggest, if you have a kitchen island, incorporate it with the the kitchen column facing the living room. surely conversational if done properly!! i guarantee that! ha inspiration / looks you opted really apt these amount of space btw. now is the critical task to find THE ONE id that can help to gel and translate the space with your pieces. gd luck with your id selection! d a r n exciting times ahead. cause i'm already excited for you!! and i will be stalking your blog. ha
  16. is been awhile huh? but things are certainly looking up here eh! can't wait for the full look!
  17. hey hey... where do i even start? took time to catch up all the previous where i stopped albeit skim through only. so sorry to hear that bout yr reno woes. really hope all is well and rectified now. otherwise, it just doesnt seem to do justice that the house reno is so botched while you have some of the most fantastic buys for the house! these two chinese words always sound more meaningful; Ely, 加油! 加油!
  18. admittedly, i MIAed again. always stay current in renotalk forum i told myself, but seemingly a month without posting anything at all. tsk tsk... for my own record solely, was nursing a back inflammation for awhile but alas, the recent running event proved that it should be all well and ok. so in between not working and just nursing my health, we worked on the outstanding items in the house - in particular DIY and arts, games room design; our humble effort at DIY and arts for the display area in the living room; close-up; the initial sketch of our games room after discussion with our id; we have only limited space in the games room, so hoping to go for a sofa bed with storage space below and feature a shelving area made up of retro bricks. and if budget allows, to go for projection screen. how small the room u ask? well, this small (so you see, even the mahjong table must be collapsible. ha); hope everyone is doing great with their reno so far! the final look of the house is never completed one shot. take your time to build up the essentials first and slowly source for the rest. i'm saying that cause seemingly we yet to fancy a wall clock we want!!!
  19. that's more like a virgo. ha! 100k for reno only????? sounds incredulous to me I kid you not that's unfair! why cant guys "deh" too. wahahahaha and yes, bless you with hordes of luck. ha SAME KNIFESET!!! i bought from mayer at great world. not the best knifeset i suppose but it was one piece and in stainless steel so were sold. is stainless steel yes, but not rust-free. spotted a bit of rust on my knife.
  20. reading up, catching up... i was lucky in a sense. during my reno, i almost made the fatal mistake of letting the id do up the kitchen sink in a wrong orientation! kudos to the virgo wife, she spotted it just before the day they cut the hole in the carpentry. so i do feel sorry bout your wrongly fitted wet/dry kitchen sinks. but then not all is lose right, am relief to hear that you could make your island bigger! space is much needed when preparing food saw yr living rm pic with the ceiling fan. my eyes picked up the trunking immediately rather than the fan. able to hide it? initial housework at near reno completion can really be a pain in the donkey i tell you! more to come, trust me! ha incidentally, my pots and utensils are from WMF, not from german direct though. way out of my budget. my stainless steel knife set are from CS though. fits perfectly with the WMF knife block! and is scary how much the stupid knife block cost! hee yea, can tell you've been shopping and shopping for the house. i mean is reeaallly shopping and shopping and shopping. haha.. but good vibes for the things you bought so far and addressing modern and contemporary feel right? reno has its ups and downs too. you're not alone. at some period, we were doubting our design for the house too. but hey, the transformation will happen soon right! that's the results show ya. with all the superb finishes, it shouldnt be bad, at all! cross your fingers! btw, reno budget typically sure burst. just a matter of how much. I planned for 30k initially but they said it was impossible for a EA, esp with the design in mind. did the figures, revised and planned for max 40k and still, i exceeded a lil. haizzzz so dont worry, again you're not alone! ha
  21. Favorite tblogs admittedly, there's always the reno mags to talk about fabulous renos. but for those who are incline to a more personlise insights and thorough story, rt tblog suggestively offers better. sometimes it takes that stroke of luck to spot that wonderful reno tblog and sometimes that wonderful reno ridicuoulsy escapes your radar. presenting my favourite renovations featured in this forum till date - imho, they are consistent in their delivery in terms design and theme. Fused with selective signature or designer pieces, they made their places even more chic and party/forum conversational . of course, the list is by all means not exhaustive. there are some equally worthy good blogs i remember when i first started mine but is long dated and not seen in here anymore. I will add on the list too if i spotted any more gems in here. but like i mentioned, some just eludes me totally. so let me know if you have anyone in mind. in a sense, this is my way of capturing them and hopefully, serves more peeps here. enjoy! in no order of merit...

  22. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I MISSED OUT YOUR TBLOG TOTALLY! is it because it was links previously and no pics and i'm guilty of not clicking on the links? so yea totally! agree with sfk7! hahaha space is really well transformed!! colors are really thoroughly considered and consistent! designer finishes really completes the ridiculously nice reno! high floor view is spectacular! your daughter is such a gem! are you sure you're not on papers or magazines for such a worthy reno? ha
