    A friend will be passing me a purple carpet. I now need two large paintings - one to cover the windows above my bed and one to be placed above the purple sofa.

    Anyone knows where to get nice paintings below $100-200??

    Thanks!!!

    Ikea has some nice prints...or u can slowly do ur own photo montage after you give birth, keep yourself occupied. :thumbs up:

    Take it easy & do let ur parents, in-laws & husband take over, u need to yang tai liao. Enjoy the remaining time before baby comes along.

    Btw, the dining room pendant light is super nice! Very attention seeking. :dribble:

    Hello, may I know how much is the red armchair from ikea? I can't find it in the ikea's website. Do you have the full photo? I'm looking for a red chair, thanks. :yamseng:

    i like the red chair too. How much is it? From Ikea?

    Hi both, yes it's from Ikea. I found it right at the end of section 13. Comes in turquoise & yellow as well. Is $79 or around there...

    I read from Paloma's blog that it's limited edition, so...

    went to get another one!

    This one accompanied me & was my source of support & comfort during the most trying moments of these 2 weeks of reno... like it.

    Unbeknownst to most, I had been feeling during the past 2 weeks that I've had just enough of all these reno coordination, site visitations, & budget adjustments.. With 1 more week to go, I decided on Sunday to give up pushing & trying & just pray for everything to be alright. & indeed, the touching up picked up significantly this week... the IDs are both on the ball & ensuring the various loose ends are being tied up.

    Jia you... :sport-smiley-003:

    Met the decking guys today for my L-shaped patio...was serendipitously given a good deal for burmese teak decking, so went with it...Accoya wood was my original first choice, but I was advised that Accoya has no inherent value in itself - being made from pine wood - so I'll be paying top decking dollar for the R&D & the treatment process that makes Accoya what it is. As for Burmese teak, no need to say more about it's scrap value...there are shops selling reclaimed teak furniture at high price, such as Journey East, & teak furniture can last more than a decade, judging from the offerings in Second Charm & Likethatone. Furthermore the Burmese teak decking was quoted lower than Accoya wood...so not difficult choice.

    Decking starts this weekend, after which i would have to decide whether to seal it with a semi-gloss finishing, matt finishing or no finishing at all. The wood expert says teak does not need any finishing, it actually takes care of itself by oxidising its top layer (turning into a ash grey colour) that in turns protects the inner portion...

    What do u all think? Semi-gloss (left) or raw & no finishing (right)? :unsure:

    Abit blur here... How to convert cm measurement to ft run?

    Cabinets are calculated as per ft run or per ft? As for countertops, are they calculated in per ft or per sq ft?

    Just convert cm to feet...

    Cabinets & countertops are per foot run (pfr). Only feature wall is psf.

    Parquet sanding & varnishing was done yesterday, we chose matt varnish, which gave the floor a raw look & really brings out the woodgrains..but it feels very unprotected & sandy, so we are considering doing another round of varnishing but semi-gloss... tho neighbours & parents tell us it's alright.

    According to the parquet guys, the wood shld be Burmese teak. Woa if so, I will hug it every night before I sleep liao... :dribble: maybe Morganwu can give his expert opinion...

    Here's the old-school parquet laying pattern...looks slightly yellowish even in daylight.

    Chemical wash & general cleaning was done today, hence the "no shoes" sign pasted by the contractor.

    Here's the night view...

    Spending spree.... The red chair looks so familiar, same as Paloma's T-Blog

    This one still ok in terms of cost... neber beat my sanitary wares record... haha.

    Oh chair is the same? I passed by this in a corner when looking for something else & just grabbed it on a whim...think shld be suitable for timber deck area. :) If nice, will go back & buy the yellow colour as well.

    This much things we bought from Ikea today...

    img2919jr.jpg

    ...handling 2 babies while buying all these bulky stuff is no joke. Then my daughter chose to poo big time till poo poo went to her back & stained the stroller...while I handle one, my son poured the ice tea over himself... then I had to nurse my gal at the waiting area...then after that head to reframe my painting... then birthday dinner celebration... jiu ming ah!

    Okok, calm down, calm down...

    Pace really picks up in the later weeks one...

    White track lights for wet kitchen & backyard... the big 12W one is bought seperately at RM80-90 (can't remember exactly).
