Hey thanks! White walls are more difficult to maintain i suppose..u've to be careful with dirty hand prints..especially for my bay window where people sit and touch (we did not do anything just paint).. We would have likes other doors too, but space was a constraint so we settled for the lourve pd door..we paid abt 400 for it..I think my contractor did not mark this up from supplier as it was added later on..it's aluminum sprayed white..

My wall is 2.4m, console 1.9m , sofa 2.1m and the coffee table is 1.2m..

hey thanks yea, it's good to do some research, even just simple one like google the company name/ID name for a quick due diligence check..then like all things else, follow your heart

They were 2 rods meeting at 90 degrees..no gaps.. =p I supposed curtain makers can do the corner turning pretty well..blinds will have the meet 90 degrees too..

Sofa is 2.1m and console is 1.9m..the brick wall behind console is 2.4m.. Maybe I shd drop them a note though I'm not sure how much they've left and we're really busy with the wedding and housewarmings coming up.. =)

thanks thanks..haven't been to them, but it's probably also a 3 weeks wait and stocks similar items.. not sure if we want to wait another many weeks.. they were all from ikea..very cheap..like 4.90 and 6.90 due to length..and the brackets were like 3.90? curtains were really budget for us..

i made it at Spotlight when it had a 20% off custom-made curtains..the one we got from taobao was slightly sheer and we replaced the MBR one..i love the unique and slightly retro prints with my favorite turquoise color too.. okies will check it out! thanks!

The bed frame finally came!! Our room finally feels like a room, but it does make the room look smaller though.. i think it was quite near to what i had in mind all along..and our MBR has only a king sized bed and nothing else at the moment..i prefer the bedroom to feel spacious and hotel-like comfy.. The Lorgan's smile table and papa bear chair was supposed to be delivered on Saturday, but after changing the timing and confirmations, the delivery guy called us on Saturday and said that 'his van wouldn't start and would not be able to deliver it this weekend, will set timing again..but we went down in the afternoon to pay and look for side tables, the sales guy recognized us and said that our furniture just arrived and will arrange for delivery soon as they are short-handed this weekend.. so..we didn't manage to find our side tables and are still waiting for the furniture that we ordered in September, 3 whole months before! i think we'd better get our side tables from somewhere else instead of waiting for another 3 months.. any idea where can we get nice pencil legs side tables for our bed?

thanks! i love it too, and i'd better since it cost a small fortune.. for the photowal, we used the velcro type..for the puzzles and pictures, we used the hooks type..all of them are taped to the wall.. pm-ed. hmm, i would think that weather or not the plaster comes out depends on the workmanship of the contractor.. i personally do not like to drill and leave marks on the walls for ease of moving the paintings/pictures..moreover, walls do crack after many years, sometimes along the drill holes.. hee thanks..pm-ed. thanks! pm-ed.. thanks..he's one cute and playful boy.. colorful? i didn't think of it that way, since my walls are only painted white and grey for MBR and no other colors..but i do love colorful deco though.. i left it raw, without painting it..thinking that i can paint it if i get sick on it someday..no issues with the grouting, although it's slightly powdery to the touch, nothing flies around..i dust it with the magic clean duster..

If I were u, I might get those old kopitiam marble top round table.. =p shd be able to fit into that space and perhaps sit like 4?

yea, we customized it using oak wood instead of the usual teak to compliment the scandinavian feel..

hmm i like it 'blond'..i don't like red (may look old) nor pale tones (look cold) and find yellowish brown more cosy..all along my idea of scandinavian style was 'blond' wood with white walls with colorful deco, pencil legs furniture.. go visit some showrooms, soon bee huat and hafary has quite a good collection..for me, the choice was obvious.. hmm i would say yes, no problem la! i hang all sorts of things, even 1000 pieces puzzle with wood/glass frames (using 2 2,2kg hooks).. 3M sticks well to flat surfaces..so if your plastering was done well (to level/flatten the wall), it should not be an issue..plastering is supposed to level your wall anyway! unless your plaster drop down from the wall?

He's one notti puppy who terrorizes the home and then look at you with those innocent eyes.. =/

Erm..HDB? It was provided and included in the fittings.. =p

I got my sideboard customized in oak wood, as my dining and sideboard was oak.. =p Yes! I love 3M, they must have earned so much $$ from us..and amazingly those things stay for years unlike other brands..we used the Velcro ones..so u can actually take the frames down to change photos wo damaging it..

i got lots of stuff from JJ market..and you can drop by Asiatique, they have quite a few good shops for home stuff..

Home now looks like this: the sideboard from Lorgan's finally came after 2.5 months..the papa bear chair and smile coffee table will arrive this week.. our bed will also arrive this weekend! the 3ft mini xmas tree we got for our bay-window..doesn't take up extra space and keeps our dog from getting into trouble.. the bed we chose.. we changed the fabric..hopefully it goes well with the room..

pm-ed. they were from NTUC Xtra..i got it during renovation as it was cheap and can fold with a easy-to-carry handle..

i'm looking forward too! yes, same contractor as pinkwhale, paloma, bigbull, kk85 and dancingintherain.. pm-ed pm-ed thanks! pm-ed..it's always better to start earlier!! hey our contractor got it for us..it's aluminum and spray painted..i think it was around 400-500, more expensive than normal PD doors but definitely not 880! i'm not sure if it's possible to find them yourself online but contractors should have such contacts.. pm-ed!

Goodness the door is really quite ridiculous..solid nyatoh wood should not crack so easily!! Mine was painted with waterproof paint and used for toilets with moisture..we've no issues after 2 months..

hello, sry for the delay..pm-ed.. . We are still waiting for our furniture from Lorgan's which we ordered in September. Delivery was supposed to be in mid-October for console and coffee table with papa chair in December..but they wasn't able to make it and loaned us furniture for our photoshoot at home instead..and finally, the pieces will arrive soon..have been checking with them often, and they might send us the console first as it's already available..i'm really worried about scratching or damaging their on-loan furniture! We've also finally bought our bed frame and will arrive next weekend. We actually managed to get what something similar to what I had in mind, although I'm praying the color chosen will match my grey room.. Hopefully the home can be almost complete soon..looking back at the renovation pictures, it has really been a long journey and huge transformation..

Congrats on a smooth reno journey and beautiful home! I love that kitchen.. =)

U hacked the flooring? The existing condition is pretty good!

It's called mosaic grey.. =)

It's soft closing..the doors are quite big and heavy..if those press-open kind better get Blum ones as others spoil quite easily..
