Hi Jo. I will Pm u the contractor's no. Hi WanDerWan, U can google for pino funnel. It should be available for sale online. I think there's a Alessi shop in Singapore but I am not too sure where. Hehehe do more research and find the style you and ur partner both like. I guess your i.d. will be able to help you more once you know what you want. Good luck with the renovation!

Hi Greenlover. Sorry for the late reply. I was overseas for 2 weeks and didn't have internet access. We didn't paint over the brick wall, that's its natural color. We wanted to paint it white, but got lazy after we took 2 weeks to paint the whole house

Hi Piknik Thank you!! We will only move in by early May. There are still some loose ends to take care of, and our electrical stuff won't come till 30 March. Let me know when you want to drop by after that!

I heard prices increased tho. Its now $700+. If you can get it for $640, that's a real good deal!

Hi Punggolfamily, I am not too sure about the shop name as my contractor bought it for us. We got it for about $680.

Hi Heavenlyn If you wish to mount the tv on the feature wall, then I think they would have to build a "false wall" so that the wires can be hidden behind. Ours were stuck directly on the wall itself as we didn't want to mount the tv. We did this 1) to save cost 2) we will lose more space if we wanted to build the false wall.

Hi Surfcast, Sorry for the delayed reply, we were busy with our wedding. Haiku isn’t just an ENERGY STAR® fan—it’s the best ENERGY STAR fan. The typical residential ceiling fan requires 90 to 110 W of electrical input power. The average ENERGY STAR residential fan utilizes 65 W of electrical input power. In contrast, Haiku fans only use 2 to 30 W, exceeding the ENERGY STAR requirements for CFM/W by 450 to 750%. In a typical year, Haiku would use about 50 kWh, for a cost of around $5. Our Haiku is working well, very silent and pretty, everyone pays her compliments when they come. Go for it!!

I actually like that chair from ikea alot! That was my 2nd choice. hehe! Oh ya, I saw your drafts and there's a Japanese Tea corner. That's very nice! I think getting the stool is 2nd unlucky, the real unlucky one will be sitting on the cold hard floor!

Pinkwhale!! OMG your house looks so goooddddd! I am totally jealous! Nicely done!!

hahaha Mae is not me. She has a nice longggggg brick wall. Mine's just a short one due to budget. hahaha! The EM chair is not super comfy, but I persuaded him cos it will blend in with our design and who normally sits there for hours? Most of the time, its just eat and go. So hefinally agreed to it. The $65 chair from ikea is the white and pine wood one? I wanted to get that i think. It looks good too!

Thank you Takeyu! Probably not so soon cos I haven't got time to do up the blinds and buy my basic appliances. We haven't even bought our bed. hahaha! Can't wait to start cooking there!

Renovation Log : 2 Mar 2012 1) We finally have lights in the haus!! I'm so glad, cos we could actually clean up the place last night. But we are still short of 2 lights for the kitchen and guestroom, as the lights are out of stock. 2) Haiku fan is up too~ Wheee~~~~ 3) Toilet accessories up too Study room & MBR feature wall for TV. Using tracklights with LED bulbs. Living room completed. T5 for the cove ceiling seems too white for my liking. Asked contractor to change to a warm yellow instead. I absolutely love my kitchen. Lots of storage space. I wonder if i will ever finish filling them up. So glad that everything is piecing up bit by bit. We are only left with some minor stuff to fix and some appliances to buy. yipeee! Going to wait for delivery of my sofa in abit. More pics later!

hhahha lights not installed yet. so I can't really tell. But I am not a fan of super bright lights so I guess it will be alright. Will let u know once its up! The light retails for about $340 but it really depends how much discount u can haggle for. I went to picket and rail at Liang court! looks awesome but its really over my budget, so see no touch. My dining chairs are only in white. U are in FB group too? Whats ur nick? Hope you will select your ideal contractor soon and commence renovation! Good contractors really leave u at ease and u'll never have to worry about minor details. good luck!

ooooo!! Thank u zzz monster! I will go check it out!

Hi Dotty~! Love your table! I think i saw it too but its over my budget. Hope to see more pics soon!

Hi dotty! Hhaha we will be leaving it in its original color, because 1) everyone who came and saw, fell in love with its color 2) husband concluded that he is too tired to paint it, and convinced me to leave it alone. YES!! I love the pino funnel too! I will secretly go order it ........ (pray, hope my husband doesn't see this post)

Bought my pendant lamp for the dining area!

Here are some things I'm lusting over.. Pino Funnel. - yes, I don't need a funnel, but its cute!! and will add a little life to the kitchen. (*excuses...) Russian Dolls measuring cups - I could use 1 or 2 to measure ingredients for baking and another 1 or 2 for decoration right? Flip clock - Anyone knows where I can get this in SG? Saw 1 at Plaza Sing, but its abit too big And Stag antlers for the brick wall.

Renovation Log : 25 Feb 2012 1) All kitchen cabinets up. Waiting for solid surface top to arrive and to fix hob. 2) WIW tic tac door up. 3) Painting for the whole house painfully all done (oh yeah!!) 4) Went to buy lights, haiku fan and bathroom accessories today We are almost there!! *Just a note for those who wish to DIY painting like us. Be prepared to paint your walls multiple times. Your contractor will normally ask you to paint it before they fix up the carpentry. And to my horror, the workers let lots of handprints on the walls after the carpentry was done up, so be prepared to touch up or repaint your walls.

Nope Dotty, its from Restoredliving

wow.. May. That's still quite a long way to go. hhehehe!

Oh Yes! A new piece for the home. Restored, so its the only piece.

Hi WanDerWan, Wow, your first post is on my blog! hahaha Thank you very much for your compliments! Most of our furniture are custom made as we do not want to buy wardrobes or cabinets that will fall apart after 1 yr. Eames dining chairs are from LushLush. We haven't the time to buy our dining table and coffee table (which I might just grab from ikea). Our teak sofa is a gift from our friend. Basically everything will be kept simple (for now). Hhaha~ the I.D is Beezeebear pte ltd.
