last but not least is the dining chairs...wifey loves this chair alot...so much that we got 5, 1 as study room chair... besides getting so many stuffs for the day, what makes me is the price we paid for them...cool $2700 for the lot of items...i think it's a steal man...don't think i can find such good deal elsewhere le so confirmed though we still got sanctuary dian to visit...we actually did visit dian but they were closed on thursdays & fridays...lazy to make another trip down and furthermore the building where dian is located in is out-of-this-world man...passenger lift spoilt...cargo lift is manned by old uncle who got to pull shut the doors... where to find this nowadays man...

We went around seeing many furniture over the past weeks...from west to east...from IFC, OM, Massimmo, Navinzi, Lush to Hommage...on few occasions nearly fished out my credit card but knowing that there's still another shop to visit, managed to fend off sales tactic like "today's sale price is last day or for this weekend only"...and zoomz off we go, kiv-ing the potential model...(fyi, 1 shop so called promotion price for that particular weekend lasted for many weeks when i noticed their newspapers advert...) With the reno starting soon, it's time to confirm our furniture as we need to customise our sofa to maximise space...yesterday dropped by Hommage to look see...they have shifted a few shops away to 5 & 6 Tai Thong Crescent...spoke to boss, Eric of our design and amongst piles of catalogues, he showed us picture of similar design...knows the catalogues at the back of his mind man... will be full leather and seating cushion is just 1 piece...we were choosing between L-shape or ottoman...Eric advised for variations, ottoman is good choice... wifey chose round side table to go with the sofa...below can still put rubbish magazines ... initial plan for dining table is supposed to be like this...idea was from a fellow forummer... but if families come over for a meal then not enough seating le...so got to scrap this floating table idea and looking for extendable table...1st saw extendable table at ikea, thought that's a done deal le till...Eric shows us some tables...we picked this design with black tempered glass... was abit concerned on whether the extended glass can hold with just the screw-in design but Eric guarantee no issue...so gotta trust him for that...

cos the new tiles selected by developer's designer sucks big time... can't stand the dirty orange look which makes the floor dirty...hence we decided that has to go...so overlay over existing tiles to save cost on hacking...

wah can keep so long their catalogue ah??? we target to clear the laminate tml... sit down at new hse, visualise the end result...

Finally after 2 months of searching, today i confirmed my renovation to be done by...Willie from Room For Ideas Pte Ltd...thanks to all for providing help (their various IDs/contractors contacts) to me to search for the right one...imo all of them are good professionals, some of them are responsive and responsible to hand in quotes as promised dates which i really appreciate alot (and is an important factor to award contract too)...ultimately it's the bottomline that decides it all... Met up with Willie to select kitchen tiles at hup kiong...really too many tiles and also don't know how to choose...took 45mins just to choose only 1 kitchen tile...can't imagine if i got to choose whole hse tiles...phew...too engrossed in choosing that we forgot to take photo of final choice... now got to headache over laminates for console, vanity cabinets, study table & cabinets...

why is ur key collection scheduled so late??? Thought CVers all gotten their keys???

can use umbrella too...

totally agree! it's $$ well spent when u get to see things around the house done the way u love... for the moveable island, not sure why it's gg to load ur wallet much cos without the island, u still got to do cabinet...so the cost of that portion of cabinet can be sub with say a stainless steel moveable island...lower section of island can be storage too...do talk it thru with ur ID...

i like these 2...

CONGRATS lady!!! day 1 use tibits to bribe the workers ah...good for u... looknig forward to more pics...

i heard mosaic tiles are exp...maybe that's why...gg to tiles shop this week to choose kitchen tiles...see see mosaic is really exp not same time...

met a locksmith on sunday when he was installing padlock for my neighbour...he also scoffed at the gate design...never seen such clever ones before...anyway he told me ~$70 to change lock, for better quality ones ~$100...think that's abit on the high side...but that seems to be my only option...unless someone can help to enlighten on my plight...

some units have the small sections on the right so they can use padlock...smart designer dunno why wanna have 2 diff designs for the gates...so far those like my case hand over either the main door or gate key to ID, after reno plan to change the lock for security reason...

pardon my noob...isetan private sale is open to all right??? still looking for 1 more set of quilt & bedsheet set...

why not a sink at the island...centrally located area leh...but how to run piping there ah???

i did checked with singtel and they do provide cabling and trunking if needed...quite exp laying of cables + trunking...so i decided to lay and conceal cat6 from my DB box to livingrm...do let me know on your side...thanks...

i have not spoken to ID of this matter yet...thought of delivering some appliances towards the end of the reno but with this issue, think will only take delivery after all my reno fully completed and unit handed over back to me...

May, see below pic...my gate swings out from the right...next to it is the door frame le, no place for me to use padlock...

with the design of my main gate, i'm still cracking my head how to secure my place when reno is ongoing... no way to use padlock and chain...

Bro, ur RJ45 cable goes to the wired wireless router rite??? and the power plug is for the ONT rite??? what abt power to the wireless router??? and what's the NAS for??? kindly enlighten me...thanks...

price is reasonable...ya ur settee looks thick...is it 4"??? really!! can show pic??? what abt the wall opp the bomb shelter??? purple too mah??? i plan to hang some wedding shots on tt wall...

I wanted whole hse white too..but since got painting included in Reno so might paint rooms some colours...

woah...got island and bathtub...envious la...really alot of hacking man...is ur kitchen sink at the far end??? prob better to have it nearer to your island...unless ur island has a sink too...

nice reno... u painted the living room white???

haha...i went there this afternoon too...shocked at the price too...but i didn't see the offer items...maybe just eager to see the caddy only... thanks anyway...
