    Hi pinkwhale,

    I like ur posted pictures. All d best to a smoothsailing reno. Like u,we are doing our own design too.We merged our Main & bedroom 3 to form 1 big room & still brainstorming on the best layout for WIW :(

    I have some queries as my layout looks a little similar to urs...Is ur main door facing balcony/windows? Did ur FSM advise anything on that e.g. building partition?

    I too like the industrial/raw feel, I wonder if custom-made can achieve that effect..I like that raw wooden table with black metal,I wonder if we can find that kind of wood as a main door..Was it Harvey Norman u went to? I heard they carry a wider selection of quality furniture there.

    Just in case u like to get more inspirations for kitchen & bath, Interior Affairs @29 Tai Seng Ave is a gd plc.I was awed by both design & price :)

    Hi bigbag, thanks for dropping by my small T blog.

    I wish u best of luck to your Reno too. I can see we have some common taste!!! I love the hexagon tile too and I will be using some in my mbr toilet.

    Regarding the main door facing the window/balcony, my FSM say no need to do for my case cos he explained that my place is not super windy only light breeze. If super windy then make sense that the energy will flow in and out straight without the chance of staying in the house. So.. I never do partition.

    Wow would be cool if u can custom made that kind of main door.. But need fire rated or not???

    I did check out Harvey Norman too but found that they have more modern theme items than industrial. Basically I'm also not buying many items, mainly need a suitable dining and coffee table to match the theme.

    Thanks for ur recommendation, will check that out.

    Hi pinkwhale, mind check, where can i find this table that u shopped? Thks in advance.

    Hi Vdoo, thanks for dropping by...

    this table i saw at millenia walk level 2 opposite Howards, but i cannot remember whats the name of the shop already.

    they have matching coffee table, chairs, TV console all in same range...

    basically the chart means that only at large distances, then all screen sizes makes no difference.

    at 10 feet (3m) you need diagonal screen size of 70-80 inches to get the full benefits of 1080p

    IMO if u are a 1080p buff, meaning to say u watch hi-def movies alot, play games alot kind, at 3m....u need 42" minimum. most of the techies will recommend 46" and above tho :sport-smiley-004:

    Thanks Simontsh and Terencetcw... thanks both for all these sharing :good::good:

    lucky i havent buy any unrealistic size TV

    Hi pinkwhale,

    Welcome to Reno-T Blog~~

    Let me suggest some of the design for your layout..

    1) Your TV console is really long approx 5meter?

    2) By looking at your L-Sofa to TV distance is only 3m spacing...if you would get a 46" tv, your clearance should be >5m to get the best picture quality~ :rolleyes:

    3) Study table facing the window.. hmm, i suggest can relocate next to your bed, reason being, nowadays laptops/desktop monitor screen comes with glossy finished. This might cause some glare while doing your work. Moreover, while doing your work in the morning facing the windows might stress your eyesight~ :rolleyes: Do consider rainy days as well...wall plug maybe located below your study table?

    Just my opinion happy planning~ :yamseng:

    Hi Terencetcw, thanks for dropping by and ur suggestion!

    1) Yes, you are right! the TV console is ard 5meter as I'm planning to use part of it as dinning chairs.. should be ok right?

    2) thanks for pointing out le.. didnt know about the clearance distance, in this case how many inch TV can i buy :dunno: 42" ok?

    3) Ya lo initially i also wanted the study table to be next to the bed facing the wall.. but the FS master say must face window cos is wealth direction wor :bangwall: so now i also abit dunno how to do

    Are all the shortlisted dining tbls available in SG? I ESP like the third one.

    Btw what kind of look are you going for? There are quite a few inspirations, from which I gather you're going for a raw industrial look with a wood dining table. :P

    Hi SR

    Thanks for dropping by ~

    yes all these tables are available in SG, the 3rd table are from journeyeast. I checked out the actual pc and it is really very raw - a little outdoor feel. they have many other raw looking tables there too...

    and you are right... :thumbs up: am aiming to go for that look, but I'm not engaging an ID so I hope my personal "designing sense" can get me there

    Thanks Defelio for your reply.

    did you delibrately request ur ID to make ur sink area counter width smaller (less than 60cm)?

    cos many contractor say kitchen counter width is standard must be 60cm...which will make my walking space to become around 100cm

    can share how much is ur mixer? u bought from SSC HQ? cos i went a few SSC branch but no see this nice mixer, and balestier many shop only carry this design which i KIV but hoping to find more choices

    We went to places from Hoe Kee(HQ), Geylang Lor 4x to Balastier and Sim Siang Choon(HQ) but couldn't find a suitable sink... Real please with the sink and the rack comes with it! Missy just told me we bought it separately.. Damm, I'm getting old.. :dunno:

    Did a simple Fengshui Audit and only 2 important placement need to strictly follow :-

    1) Hob

    2) Bed

     

    Wanted to do a counter for the kitchen so planning to hack some walls and thinking to combine the MBR and BR2 to do WIW

    now need to brainstorm the layout.

    Anyone got ideas to share? :help:

    Can I check who r u engaging in Singapore to help u on the import custom clearance? And if few of us wanna share the shipping with u, required time of the furniture might be different so might need to get a warehouse? And also the transport cost to our house?

    And can I also ask SGD 2k for logistics what does it include? Only the ocean freight for the 1X20 footer container or is an all in cost which includes the export cost in bkk and all importing cost in spore? Cos SGD2k for just the ocean freight alone seems kind of ex actually..

    Paiseh I say so much just wanna find out more.
