    First a shout out to fellow renotalker Bianzi!

    In this post from her t-blog, bianzi talked about her dilemma when deciding her TV console design. My wife and I shared that we had similar preferences for Air's Telegramme and Grafunkt's Line as well but find them rather expensive for our budget. Then mentioned our Taobao find...

    Not that this find is similar to those products mentioned above, but those cost about 3-4k ish. Cost was another reason why we decided not to have built- in carpentry for console especially since we wanted the louvered doors type so badly for ease of remote controlling the devices in the shelves. Until we strike lottery the 5 mil Toto this National Day, we decided to go with this much more budget scandi looking console :)

    For mommychua who asked for the link, here you go :) - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.13.sllRxG&id=36289930044&_u=21q6ekj82df9

    Cost us about SGD 600 after shipping. We have received it but have yet to open the packaging to set it up as the house is still rather dusty. The real product seems a little darker, we will follow up with real product pics and review here soon! :)

    Hello! Am wondering which shipping company did you engage for the tv console? Can pm me? Thanks!

    Thanks torayme ~ it's fair to share with each other, I also got some ideas from other t-blog owner.

    Valerie, I like your t-blog, been followed on your t-blog before started our renovation ...

    The shower bottles were got from Muji, I changed all the bottles including the dish wash detergent to Muji bottles. I like Muji feels ..

    Thanks! I will go to Muji to look for nice bottles haha :thumbs up:

    Now it's my turn to follow your t-blog, although my renovation already completed months ago. :unsure:

    I really like the way you display your stuff. You have great taste. I am sure you are working on some field related to design? :D

    It's a home because you made it so. It's warm and where the heart is.... Handmade from the heart is making your flat even more heartwarming.

    Yeah, we tend to appreciate more the things that we choose and made. Hehehe but it's really tiring to do :bangwall:

    Very warm and cozy feeling house...thanks for sharing your home...:)

    Thanks! You are welcome.

    Waaaa... you can sew. can do alot of things then :) The wooden legs for sofa looks good!

    I just can't find a nice cover that I like. Those that are nice are pretty expensive.. $45 - $50 for a cover and I need like 4-5 covers.. it will cost few hundred bucks just for cushion covers. I'd rather do it myself. Anyway, I just anyhow sew..hahha i need a sewing machine.. it takes ages to do it manually! :help:

    Small Little Things

    After moving in for 5 months, we started adding small little things - transforming a house to home.

    My DIY paper-cut lampshade for the kitchen pendant light

    Finally some flowers to add some colours to the otherwise monotone kitchen.

    Hand-sewn cushion cover. Oh btw, the tapered legs for my sofa has arrived and here is how it looks like.

    I feel my home is truly a humble abode.. lots of handmade, hand-sewn stuff, nothing fanciful. :yamseng:
