    Nice house and deco.... :good: We have the same taste :) . I'm in the midst looking for my furniture too. I had visited Comfort, Egg3, Logan's, Lush Lush and Second charm but yet visit Athousandtales. Hope I can get the TV console like you. BTW, your bench near the phone where you get from? Mind to share? and where you get the dummy phone look like real......Have you completed your deco??? Any upcoming photo...looking forward :rolleyes:

    Thank you very much. You can ordered for a custom design dimension side board/tv console. I can't recall the name of the shop of where I got the bench from, it's at the same building as EGG3. The payphone is real and it does work, there's a DING sound when you insert a coin. More or less done on deco, just searching for raw wood for my shelving.. Any to intro to find raw/unfinish timber? Please don't tell me Bukit Timah.. ~~'

    Hi Defelio

    may I know what camera are you using? pictures are very well taken :)

    Hi Elyse18, I'm using my old trusty Canon 550D. A crop frame DSLR with one of the following lens,

    Tamron 17-50mm f2.8

    Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 for the wide angle shots

    Canon 70-200mm f4 for the close up

    Sigma 30mm f1.4 prime lens for a deeper bokeh effect.

    Probably going for the Canon 70D next. How about you?

    Hi all, there us a space above the fridge, Jiawei suggested doing a cabinet above it to make it look more complete. Wat do u all think? Should I go ahead?

    Should i add a top shelf? Something like the next pic to make it look more complete?

    I cant fInd a better pic to represent.

    Any suggestions?

    As some that had suggested, placing a cabinet would be give you additional space and you won't have to clean those high shelves (if you opt for open shelves). Also to cater for the possible taller fridge, do exactly like the pic you posted which is an additional piece of board/plank that you can easily remove(think of those little metal knobs/shelf support to hold the vertical piece of wood with cut in notches where the metal knobs/shelf supports sits in. Note that you can't be putting it in place from the top, you would only be able to pull it outwards. Sorry, I can't really explain it any clearer as I have this visualise..

    Also don't bother about having it flush with the right side cabinet since you guys have already thought of getting a taller fridge in future.

    Hi Defelio

    I'm also looking for a tulip table with a oak/natural wood color table top, but Comfort furniture (at Eunos) told me that the standard table top is walnut color/marble. For light color top, its another table top that is not tapered at the edges, so I guess not so nice. Yours look tapered though... Can share roughly what is the price?

    thanks

    originalbread

    Hi Originalbread, I think mine was around the $650 to $850 range. I can't really recall as I bought this with something else. I requested for the tapered at an additional $45+/- if memory serves me well =S They initially said can't, till another senior took a look at it can said it can be done. What material is the light colour top you're looking at? Do you require a close up of my table top/edge?

    Who install ur sound system? Where are the wires concealed?

    Hi, hifibargain.com is the website, the shop name may be KEC.

    I later got more scandyna speakers from Eighteen 77 as they had the limited Jubilee edition minipods.

    Yup, go there with the order, wait for them to bring the item, better to check for any damage as easier to swap on the spot, bring back home and have someone to help ya with the assembly.

    Just incase you're using a GPS, my GPS lead me to the back of the warehouse which I couldn't locate the entrance.. I need to go one big round.

    Lovely house! I like your selection of furnishings. And you have a really cute and unique fan. May I know what is the brand of your fan and where to get it? Expensive? Can you feel the wind if not siting directly below? thanks!

    Thanks! The fan is Matthew fan or something, you can have a feel of the wind at a big shop in park mall which I can't recall right now.. You cannot feel the wind if rotor/fan blades are pointing downwards. The speed of rotation depends on the the angle and speed setting.

    Hihi, can you share the thickness of the wooden frame for your kitchen entrance? My id propose something thinner which i dun tink might bring out the "framed" effect. Appreciate your advice.

    HI,

    I notice the woodgrain is the same for your door, kitchen ledge top, and foyer top.

    I like the color very much. Is it also from EDL? or you rem where you got it?

    Hi Samich, yup it's the same but it isn't a laminate. It's actually wood verneer and being varnish or lacquer.

    We actually went to a Sungei Kadut St 1 to choose which I can't recall where exactly and I don't have their contact anymore. It a warehouse on the far end, left side, inside the huge compound share by others. Do note that the wood verneer is more fragile/softer as compared to laminates and it is almost paper thin. Also the colour you choose will be darker after being varnish/laquer. :yamseng:

    May i knw where can get the big momo bear? how much?

    Hi,we got it a few years back from one of the toy shops in China Town where all the toy shops are but there aren't much selling be@rbrick nowadays from what I seen a few months back. It cost about $500.

    You can try to find it on ebay.

    Ya I saw his reply on EDL, was hoping for the specific code or colour because the range was so wide. I also read that you mentioned that your contractor or ID said that it's expensive. Am curious exactly how expensive it is :)

    Hi, yup as what Pinkwhale mentioned(Thanks Pink :yamseng: ), the grooves was cut and highlighted. I can't recall was it being charge more than the usual. I just check my quotation and it cost $2100. Hope that helps. c",)

    Hi Defelio,

    Can you share the laminate codes for your feature wall and wooden ledge of your kitchen? I'm contemplating customizing furniture for my home and I like the colours of your laminates.

    Hi Rain, sorry it has been a long time ago and I don't have the codes for the laminates, the laminate samples have been returned. What kind of furniture are you pondering to customise?

    Hi Defelio,

    Posted some qn to u regarding half wall for bar counter. Contractor said HDB asked to hack fully and construct the wall again using hollow block bricks. Tell him so many ple hack halfwall he said its actually illegal. Not sure about this tho.Feel like calling HDB and asked but who.to ask?? Btw may I know what is the height of.the open concept kitchen wall? Measure from floor to the counter top wooden ledge?

    Hi Abahq, I asked my ID. He said why waste money to hack fully and re-construct the wall again using hollow bricks unless the wall is deem unsafe and unstable after hacking the middle half portion.

    Sorry I didn't save the contact number of the person in giving approval to the hacking of my wall. Because there was some delay at HDB side, my ID advised me to call them to expedite the approval. try checking with your contractor.

    Height to top is 109cm, height of my bar stools 76cm. Best to measure the height to your thighs when you are seated on your bar stool and give the some allowance.
