  1. Hear hear! I just can't put it in words how much I agree with you.
  2. Careful of reupholstery cost we also thought it would be only a few hundred dollars and got quotes ranging from 1000-2800 depending on what cloth is used. Patterned cloths are more expensive too. That being said, we reupholstered our sofa and its a pretty fun experience too! Just remember it cost the same or more than a new sofa okay?
  3. I think the idea of a nice little vintage fan will work! Functional as well! Now I'm thinking of putting a fan on my fridge lol
  4. Prepare lots of photos to show so they know what you want. We put everything on PowerPoint slides with pictures, and nots of what will be in that room eg, TV in mbr or not, etc
  5. Pray that your son recovers soon!
  6. Agree. We were almost convinced to buy the Mitsubitshi Folio fridge at over 3k after the friendly salesperson walked us through all the fridges in the store until I got the guy's name card and he's the direct salesperson for folio fridges!
  7. Hi zermatt, there is a Electrolux promotion for chimney hood, hob and oven which is what we bought. Promotion is at 1999 I believe but we got it for 1700.
  8. You can put some flower pots and picture frames above the fridge. The void actually suggest that the room is bigger than it seems.
  9. Luna, Please let me know if you are thinking of getting rid of that white tile top table. alchia@gmail.com Cheers, Alvin
  10. The print was 80 bucks but Pomelo framed it for us for an additional 100 bucks.
  11. Hi Aron, I am looking to install a system 2 (with >30k compressor) at my living room (12btu) and dining room (24btu) with concealed piping. Can you give me a quote? It's quite urgent, thanks. alchia@gmail.com
  12. I actually bought the joker print from Pomelo it's really nice and we are looking for more. I do believe a frame cluster brings out a lot in the house and think of it as an installation where you can swap the prints for new ones and update.
  13. Thank you! I'll be sure to visit those 2 places this weekend. All the best and yes, dont think too much on the decorations. It's your home and not an art piece so do what you feel right!
  14. Hi Luna, Just want to let you know that I love your dining table and am trying high and low to find a version of it in Singapore

    Moderators, please delete this thread as I have accidentally duplicated it on another thread.
  16. Looking to reupholster and varnish this sofa to fabric and with white frame. Please send quote to 96784428 (Alvin)
  17. Thanks bro. We will try to use contractor to save some costs. I was hoping the smaller size (926sqft) will result in lower costs. How big was your place then?
  18. Thanks and I have emailed the contractor you recommended.
  19. The reason we want to lay over is because the marble color/design does not fit with our ideas - instead of hacking, we lay over to save some hacking costs. We know that marble is not cheap but if the design doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. I do not see a big change in resale value if the new tiles are able to present a nice renewed design. That is the reason why.
  20. Thanks guys for the contacts. I'll need further advice when I get the quotations. By the way, will overlaying of tiles be detrimental to the house? Just want to save on hacking costs.
  21. Hi, I'm designing my place too without an ID and our designs look similar to yours. Is it possible to get the contacts of your contractor? You can email me at alchia@gmail.com. Thanks!
