philips??? the 1st time i called salesperson #1 didnt mention about ordering online, the discount or free courier. only when i called back 5mins later to check if they will be having sales soon, then salesperson #2 mentioned all this to me cos she said there wont be a sale so soon and not even sure if GSS will have any sales.

you can call them to check their prices if you havent confirmed with lightings.sg, http://www.facebook.com/PLstore and then order via their FB store, lol

kobe, the lights are so cute. are they philips? if so, you been to their light store at bukit timah yet? i called them today to inquire about something else and they mentioned if order over their fb page, can get straight 10% disc with free courier.

no regrets as it is completely necessary to open up the LO of our current place, to let in light and for air circulation, as glassed-in kitchens were not as popular & much more expensive when we moved here 8 years ago. However we will definitely not be doing an open concept kitchen for our new place as it is impractical for us doing cooking everyday and with 2 boys running amok. We currently use a child safety gate to keep them out of the kitchen. on reno t-blog, there are people who seem to love their open concept kitchens as young couples in their first home, but not sure how it works out for them in the long run.

i have been visiting daily but nothing to comment so been it is good that you can cut down on your reno costs . I am trying to do that too with all the lurking around here and doing research but with 2 growing boys, I would rather spend more to do up everything now instead of having to do things in bits and pieces over the years so not much choice. I think my reno may be equal or more than yours, my mum's reno friend still havent get back to us with the quote so I've asked my mum to go him for it.. hahaha to hear about TOTO!

Kobe, i also agree with the others that your reno is cheap but not everything else... LOL that rinnai hob alone is equal to what some people pay for hob & hood anyway i think i am going to get this bathtub cos it is cheap and then I can definitely afford my expensive rainshower!!!! whats happening on the toto WC research? I'm sure there a couple of us waiting for your rackey news

thanks. wah from your and may dream comments + the prices on the website, can liao!!! Maybe ask my contractor if he can custom it instead. heheheh

Can also have a quick wash while you are at it

Mae, need a comfy place to rest when doing big biz mah!!! Hahaha

kobe, since there are quite a few people interested in toto, maybe you should ask them if you can get enough people will they give you a bulk discount and you organise it

hi footprint, lovely place. can you share the cost of your coffee table from natural living and also where you bought the dining room table lamp from, thanks!

i really really like your floor laminates but my new place has marble flooring so will just be polishing them up as everyone advises. You have done a good job with the L shaped design!

edenstrauss, i enjoyed reading your recount of your adventures with the mammoth! hahah kudos to the both of you for the process.

i saw the photo of your tub, nice btw do you recall any stand alone tubs at aos when you were there?

thanks for sharing your kitchen makeover! your new kitchen is the look i am going for for my own place but with a black counter top. can you share your experience between using white vs back kitchen countertop so far?

the kohler WC i saw is only approx $350 leh, still quite comparable in price to those made in msia/ china brands but it was on offer at the beginning of the year so dont know if have anymore stock. actually i am okay with paying those prices for the stand alone bath tubs leh, it's you guys who mentioned can get cheaper and think it's exp, hehehe maybe you research and end up getting for yourself too?! if we buy 1 each can bargain cheaper price perhaps?

maybe if you had a u-shaped WIW, then it would be more spacious and better storage. but like some of the others say, time to give more of the clothes away perhaps? heheh

KOBE bro, thank yew la. really really need to say as very very appreciative of your kindness hor plus still going to help me look!!! do you know which brand is it? for the toto bowls, how much ah? wah >$800 , i will be more than happy with my kohler ones loh.. hahahaha

hi lady r, congrats on your smooth progress. can i check with you on the bathtub you mentioned in kobe's thread; do you have a photo of it, issit built in or free standing and is it this co, http://aos-bathroom.com? Thanks!

May, thanks for posting the wonderful wonderful photos of your place! Even though you are in the midst of packing you have made time to take and post them. I think we're all that you say you have not enough space for your clothes in the WIW we are all over! all the best to your continuing moving in!

congrats on your purchases kobe! hahah i like "salesman talk until Washer can Cook"

hi ces, i went down to imm serta just yesterday and was told by kelvin this 20% bulk buy promo is over but they currently have a 10% off with free stuff like 2 bedsheets, 1 mattress protector, 2 pillows & 1 serta sheep thrown in so you might want to call them to inquire.

welcome to t-blog. it is good to upgrade to one closer to town & most importantly nearer to family, most of us have to move further away from town when 'upgrading'

you look good in the article mae but why they only put 1 photo (i saw you mentioned that's your fav place in the house), should have more, heh get well soon!

OMG, i went to interior affairs too cos i thought they are just a normal showroom for de Dietrich and such kitchen appliances and want to peng san at the prices for their kitchens (supposed to be some special modular system? cannot remember the term now). After i keep asking for the average price and the salesman refuse to tell me, he mentioned just 3 basic cupboards they recently did for a customer is $30k!!!! can pay for a whole house reno, so after talking so much to the saleman (i blame him for not being upfront about the cost, lol), i told him, thank you we cannot afford it and will just take a look around the showroom....
