I love reading your blog! You write really well! ..'dusty clothes are the bane of my existence'.. Lol Please post more updates!

Hi Monsterbeng. You may consider placing the wardrobe near the toilet. This will shorten the walking distance when you wanna take clothes to the toilet, in the event when you forgot to bring in a clean set of clothes, or when you just wanna walk out naked to change. In a nutshell, there's a reason for hotels to construct wardrobes just outside the bathroom. Hope this helps

Hi! It's the mrs here. My hubs hates changing light bulbs too! Surprisingly, our lights from the previous reno lasted 8 years (hubs instructed that i say they are non-LED..) with probably only 3 that required changing due to wear and tear. Needless to say, my hubby didn't change it and we left it as such...

Hi You can find Paloma's contractor details in my signature.

Hi 3Dyms.I think you'll not need to switch bulbs as philips LEDs have a technical lifespan of 15 yrs! I guess when the bulbs wear out your kids will be old enough to change it for you guys Maybe wife and I will purchase 3 LEDs per mth...and we'll have full LED track lights in a yr. Haha

Hi mrmerry! Ermm hope that didn't offend those who are fans of LEDs. Just finished work and washed out....so EQ level zero

HiIn order to really see the impact of savings they need to be switched on like 8 hrs a day, which is not really practical assuming they're switch on from 7 to 11 pm on most nights, and it sounds dumb to leave them on on purpose just to save bills? We'd rather spend on things that are visible to us rather than 20-30 bucks on a LED bulb. Maybe we're influenced by our contractor when he said halogen effects are nicer. But I guess the plus point in LEDs is that they emit lesser heat. Anyway to each his own. Just penning down my thoughts.

Just a wordy update with no pics. Called boconcept today. As they have taken close to 4 months (??) to manufacture our order, I did not have much expectations and was expecting further delays to the already long wait. So it came as a pleasant surprise that our furniture will be delivered one week ahead of schedule. Hoping that it all blends in as we started the Reno wanting a boconcept look, though this thought has evidently changed as we progressed with our Reno. (We actually dislike the boconcept look now...) The Reno by Mr K is more or less completed and if anyone noticed, we have actually tried to keep it as simple as possible as we always believed that less is more and more importantly, it is the furnishings, be it a cushion, family photo or a vase of flowers, that brings identity and life to the house. Having said that, we are definitely going slow on the furnishings. It will most probably be awhile before the final completed pics are up..

Haha it is indeed very far...

Haha it is indeed very far...

Congrats! Things are moving very fast!

Hi !You were saying the robotic vacum cleaner can reach the side of the walls? Does it mean that it can suck up dust from the edge of the floor that's perpendicular to the wall ? Hope you can get what I'm trying to say

But you two are very neat and well organised! Anyway my wife is a huge fan of hello kitty too! Just that they are all hidden in the cupboard haha...

Oh, pai seh see wrongly

Hi mk.Noticed that your spices are stored below the sink (kitchen storage 1, quoted the wrong post). I personally think that it'll be mouldy in time to come as that area tends to be very humid. This is especially so after using the sink, as water may splash out during the washing of dishes etc no matter how careful you may be. Just my two cents' worth

Hi arte. Think you should just create a signature with his contact. Save yourself trouble from repeating

Yup most importantly you and your hubby like it. Why bother about what others say. But my wife and I think that u guys really have ALOT of stuffs, and this is like just a few weeks after shifting in !

I am eager to see too!

Hi Annie, They can be found at Royal Carpets & Handicrafts at Holland Road Shopping Centre #02-22. Do ask the shop owner to show you the Jap magazine featuring it.

Wife's favourite lamp is up:

Yes. Gravy super lemak and nice. There's 2 zhen shan mei. 1 is from the original old couple, and the other is opened by their helper, which is the 1 @ alexandra. Apparently there's some conflict between the old couple and the helper, hence split. The 1 at alexandra tastes better though.

Zhen shan mei claypot laksa. But if I remember they don't open for dinner.

hi Vanessa. Thanks for the info. Will make a trip down. But priority will be the laksa. Is it better than the alexandra village claypot laksa??

Doors: Didn't expect them to be up today.No wonder the drinks we bought were finished in a day... Still looking for contacts for good quality blinds.... & to be continued with shoe cabinet, toilet and furnishings etc...

No they're not Swensen's ! Dining lamps ( and no they're not Swensons or equivalent. It's Moroccan ) How it looks in the day: We love having steamboat with family, which explains the slightly higher than normal dining lamps. Full white for my dining table and side board, which will only arrive in mid Aug...Zzz (its the first thing we ordered from this place X in mid-april). Anyway we wanted a clock from X, and were informed that we need to wait for 5 mths, and a simple pendent lamp, which required waiting time of 3 mths. We are waiting for the day that X close down. Wardrobe: 1 of our last minute addition (had wanted Ximula. On the hindsight, glad we did't) Bed: Yet another last minute addition ( to art00609: if you're reading this, sorry for your carpentry delay as we had quite a number of last minute add-ons.) We weren't too particular over bed frames. Had wanted to purchase it from Sincere/Courts etc, however Mr K had to show my wife pics of bed frames that he did (solely for the purpose of choosing laminates. Not for the purpose of selling). Switches & plugs were initiated by Mr. K. We didn't have any special requests or whatsoever. Very thoughtful of him As for the side lamps .....the shades were bought from Etsy.
