!!!! ermm i bought mine at 600+ at their singapore sale last yr but i waited for almost 2 months for it to arrive!!! **** angry. lush singapore sale promo is very good. sofa onli 700+ rug carpet 200+. luckily i didnt buy the sofa before the sale... or else it's 1k plus... but the sofa is built to last. sit on it ah.. quite pathetic. haha looks good nia.

geez seems like donkey years since i come back renotalk. got the sofa from lush. custom made. quality eh is so -so. look nice onli. not really nice to sit on it. never mind it's pretty cheap. will change it in 2 -3 yrs time. dun buy any stuffs from lush that they say have to make overseas... my eggchair took like 4.5 months before it arrives. kaoz.

If you are going customize make it locally at Lush there's no problem. The main problem is when you customize the item at their overseas factory. I ordered my egg chair early june and until now they cannot confirm a date! and they said it will take around 6 weeks. when did 6 weeks turn to 3 months ? When i first ordered my sofa, there was also another customer that came in Lush to demand for a confirmed date or a refund. I believe it's probably an order that was customized at their overseas factory. empty delivery dates. empty promises

Limited edition ba... Just collected my Kartell Vase Stool yesterday. I think most ppl will think what's a vase doing beside shoe cabinet. oh the NOVITA Garment Steamer, u better consider man. haa my mother in law bought the lcd version for us. like 400 i think. den when ms vainpot irons she needs to turn on the aircon because it's freakin hot. and i'm not supposed to say anything abt getting an normal iron and ironing board or else ms vainpot will murder me. Ease of Using - 7/10 Chances of getting burnt by the steam - 7/10 Ease of ironing shirts - 6/10 how straight are the shirts - 7/10 bottom line is ... only a long period of training with the iron den can see the straight lines on the shirt. (ms vainpot tells me the salesgirl can iron those plaited skirt!) Kinda disappointed with these steamers products. got another steamer for the floor, it seems the stains dun come out so easily like what the salesman demostrate. in the end i gotta use JIFF. kaoz

haa further additions to the house. The bed and mattress had arrived! bought a furry carpet, mirror side table. Next on the delivery list is the standing light and egg chair.

It's laminate! deceiving huh. Ms Vainpot once commented that if she run her hands on the cabinet, she will have splinters in her hands. exaggerated of course. We were at first not used to the sight of bare wood in our kitchen. After a while, it looks better and better . (at least to me ms Vainpot thinks it's ok onli.) It's one of the wood series in the laminates....

I was quoted 370 IIRC at Life Storey for the Kartell ghost chair. (not the ones that have faces; hear that the ones that have baby face are even more expensive) Space? You must be joking. Their mini model space chair costs 400SGD. just a small display furniture model nia.

Sorry for the long hiatus. Renovation Completed!

didnt pass hdb my contractor number so my id didnt manage to coordinate the hdb screeding. so my id is like kinda telling me it's like dat because the hdb screeding was done properly. abit hard to accept. jialat man.

Hi All, was wondering if this is normal. I turn on the rain shower. it starts to spray water as it would. but when i turn it off. the other body sprayer (dunno what is that called) , mounted on the holder, start to leak with water coming out non stop for at least like 5-6 mins. The rainshower also leaks for 3-5 mins. Is that faulty?

mine is pretty bad. when i walk at the edges. the laminates will show quite a gap between the laminates and the skirting. I'm worried because there's a place in the room i need to place a piano on the laminated flooring and i'm afraid the weight of the piano will make the floor sink in or even more worried the piano may be damaged in the long run. Sigh.

yes i have that now. When cement screeding is done, nothing can be done to even the floor? i'm worried becos the laminates are kinda of floating when i stepped on it.

I tried the s3000 advance backcare. one word. power! If pocket spring coils are your cup of tea. There is only the original simmons. wife slept beside me. and i twist and turn. She felt nothing other than slight fabric pull. Tried serta alabama. Soft. but when i twist and turn, wife told me she feels the bed is moving. Of cos cannot compare. because 1 simmons s3000 can buy 2 alabama. Looking for KINGSIZE. at Simmons , i was quoted 6.2k. for Serta Alabama is 2999. With BIG MONEY, we have big responsibilities (like buying a good mattress) too bad i dun have big money. Just checked out Robinsons, they have this Dreamscapes Simmons bed , exclusively at Robinsons. Having a sale for various brands of mattresses there. Was quoted 5.5k. plus another 5% robinson card discount it will be 5.2k. now i just need to bring my other half to test out the mattress.

The new marantz is SRX001 series. X can be substituted by 4,5,6,7,8. SR7001 and SR8001 are the premium ones. price also premium. for myself i'm just looking at SR4001(450sgd) or SR5001(dunnoe what price)

As to add on my earlier comment Realised each ID of fuse concept may have their own electrician /aircon man or shops they tend to buy things from. I went through the electrician sub forum of renotalk and realised that some of the forum users (alot) in fact are being charged 3k plus for their electrician works. I think it is very hard to judge whether we are overcharged or not. Maybe the point was moved from here . My point is each home electrician works are different so perhaps first-timers will find it hard to judge. So as long you find the price is reasonable, everything is fine.

so as long you feel in 'safe hands'! It's important that you trust your ID . also in the hope that IDs can deliver to their promises. As a first timer who is renovating, i was very lost whether my ID can deliver but so far so good. A little hiccups here and there but it's halfway done now and and i truly (at this moment) feel i made a wise choice in choosing Fuse concept and choosing my ID. =D

i keep thinking about the Kartell louis ghostchair somehow. haaa. think very nice. if together with the evov living Ito table it will be perfect. haa men are always restricted by the vitamin $$$. haa dun think ms vainpot will let me change my dining chairs to that though. Already burst the budget liao. hmm maybe i get one ghost chair for my own study chair at my own budget. keke. =D

450 to level up the balcony? abit expensive i feel. dun worry about the out of stock tiles. wait lor. patience breeds good results. =D

oh the weird chair brand is kartell. super strong. the salesman actually attempted to tear one similar branded chair up by the legs. and it managed to be ok. GEE. so weird.

Hmmm updates updates. My mother in law decides to sponsor my washer and dryer and fridge. You can see the models in ms Vainpot signature. Our fridge is out of stock in Singapore. Kao. We bought the dining table and chairs. plus another weird looking chair we intend to use for wearing shoes. hoho. Think my ID is too busy to help us source for the dining tables and chairs so we decided to look around ourselves. 29th Apr - Saturday A unfruitful day ms Vainpot thought ; giving the usual "MR Nua is not do enuff research on furniture so there is nothing to see" look to me. I bought the latest edition of Reno mag and chanced upon Life Storey. Hmmm the last time we been there the things there are a bit on the high side. heck just visit there again. Hmm seems they got 30% sale store wide so we bought a dining table six chairs and 1 more weird acrylic chair to wear my shoes. I still like their sofas. expensive though (even with the sale on) Comparable to the ones at Funktion i thought. We didnt buy the ghost chairs in the end. They are super strong and of cos it's branded. 370 a piece. I did like this high gloss acrylic chair from the same brand. but ms vainpot doesnt like. But at least the weird chair we bought also same brand... cost us 174. haa those ppl interested in acrylic chairs can drop by Life Storey. so $$$ fly once more. Ooops still no pictures. There's a reason why i'm known as mr Nua. The glass walls are up already. Going down my house to snap more pictures of the 1st time chemical washed house. Ok ok pictures will be up on Monday nite. Remember to catch the show on 8.30pm next thurs. hosts are ben and quan yi feng. think they got lobang to buy designer chairs at good prices. i wanna see if i can go get some decent study table chairs from there.

Hmmm AlvinW my ID is not them so can't really comment. How come they so good give you two IDs? What's your theme for your flat? I think most importantly the ID must be able to understand what you like and also be able to bring out value of your $$$! haaa. as long it is so no body can tell u it's not value for money. Fuse Concept is not the cheapest around but i think they have pretty good IDs in there. great designs. Can ask them for discount on the quotation one. dun be shy... in singapore u must bargain. bargain for price den bargain for free things...

Total spent: $2.4k 1 x toilet bowl for MBR 2 x hose tap to wash backside (haha) 1 x deca White sink for MBR 1 x stainless steel large kitchen sink (franke) 1 x rain shower set 480 before discount 1 x normal shower set for common bath 1 x waterfall tap for MBR 1 x kitchen sink tap 1 x rinnai cooker hob and hood - 505 1 x 25L round ariston heater still got what glass corner shelving. and what else... shd be it ba . perhaps have missed out a bit here and there

hmmm yeah pics shd be coming. but probably tomorrow nite. it's been a busy weekend. In the end we stick with feng yip switches also because the PDL retail prices they gave cannot make it also. *drinks red bull and open switch* On saturday, we bought our rain shower and bath room accessories. Wife loves this waterfall tap and i'm pretty fascinated by the alittle expensive water basin (deca) . It has a slit opening at the end of the basin instead of one in the centre. Hmm i was still hoping to get a super long one 700mm but stopped by my ID. haa he thinks the medium size one is long enuff. We got good prices (i hope) on the Rinnai hood and hob (505) and Ariston storage heater(225). Brought my ID to balestier where i thought the lights are nice but somehow he says cannot make it so i let him to choose to go back to the electrician's shop. =/ nvm go there see what they have. So we thought we could show him the 'award winning chandelier' lee guo huang bought in bai jia le (that we bought earlier without my ID's viewing) haha seems our taste not designer enuff. so my ID told us that he would prefer us to get a glass skeleton chandelier instead of a metal skeleton. eh in short i parted with more $$$. haaa but of course it's much more grand, more wowy bah. more wowy more money. = ( hiao must pay a price it seems. Went to the electrician's shop and selected lights. maybe ms vainpot and mr nua were already too tired so we were pretty chin cai with the selection of the lights. I think the most fruity trip of the day would be for the sofa. Got there after some time and we realised it's super cheap. Alright for the first time our ID agreed that it's very very nice and commented and his other client would devastated if he saw this set. cost? Below 1k. A discount of 700 plus to be actual. Haaa i'm not allowed to post the picture of the sofa though.. ms Vainpot doesnt like me posting some of the pics (of furniture) till everything is pretty pretty sitting at home... Just having headaches over dining tables (shortlisted 3. 1 of which is over budget). and worst are getting dinning chairs. My heart aches when the thought a chair can cost 300 a piece. (for some designer pieces) man 300 x 6 = 1800? madness. My ID suggested we get glass table and glass/acrylic chairs if possible. Where to find chairs that is cheap and pretty? Anybody saw any? below 100 got? Hahha
