Hi We love scanteak stuffs. They're reasonably priced and very well made. If not for the colours we would have gotten our stuffs from them.

Ya, so I wanted syphonic flush. But now toto stop doing syphonic flushes. So the only models left with syphonic are the not sleek looking ones.

Hi Sarah, Saw pics of your home on Flickr, very personalized and it really has some vintage feel. So what happened to the tv console you initially ordered ? Can be refunded ?

Shower / taps Hansgrohe lor. Sink and toilet bowl Bravat. Only for the braves. Haha just trying to be corny.There's a reason for me being fussy over toilet bowls: Last time we wanna save cost, thought all toilet bowls are the same, so ended up buying this brand called Clayton. Ended up flushing twice whenever I crap...cannot be I crap alot mah. Then when I flush, the contents splash out. It's freaking irritating. Bravat should be ok right? Deutsche 1 wor...

Ya we told them when making payment. Even mentioned about this negative feedback in the forum. The manager/sales just gave me "don't fuss over small stuff look". It's usually like that when buying from so called "the bigger players".

Ok. We'll ask on which glue to use when the buttons start to fall.

The big cotton ball Seemed like we made the wrong purchase from Taobao ! We think the light is too big for our tv area, especially when the Commune sofa isn't small to begin with. As for the quality, it was excellent. Wrong sizing was due to our misjudgement. I guess this will be our first and last purchase from Taobao,

Hi dim. Just to let u know that we have received the lights from Taobao, and they're in excellent condition. However, my wife felt that we made the wrong purchases. I guess we can't buy from Taobao, as we need to physically see and feel the item before buying.

I remembered them telling me can keep till dec.

Hi ! I think it's a good buy, especially now when they're having 15% off for Master Card.

My Toto dream is gone: For those who're keen on getting Toto toilet fittings, they're currently having 35% storewide sale at W. Atelier. Forgot to ask when will this GSS offer last, as we were quite frustrated with the "everything also don't have replies". We were so excited when they informed us on this 35% thing. Managed to choose everything within an hour, and then were told stocks will only arrive in end July-mid August. As we were already very late in buying our sanitary fittings, and I think Mr K will scold us if we drag any further, so we had to say good bye to Toto. We went to Hafary to get our sanitary fittings instead. On a side note, the sales rep was shocked to see us, as we had chosen our tiles in mid march, and it was only now that we had started buying sanitary fittings This shows how good we are in procrastinating.

Thanks! Now we're jus hoping that we made the right purchases. Keeping our fingers crossed! So may i ask which are the shortlisted IDs?

2) TV console: As you all may know, we have been struggling with the choice of TV console. Before the reno started, we actually had our mind set on the Miniforms TV console that Grafunkt is selling. As time goes, we thought it's not worth spending that much, and eventually chose a CB2 tv console ($299 !) : Like what RetchLow said, it can actually look good if we can perform magic on it. Unfortunately I don't have the magic wand. Had quite a difficult time choosing tv console at Commune, as they've got quite a few beautiful pieces., Those that we liked had the "industry"/"raw" feel, hence not suitable. Luckily my wife spotted this: Like what sarah833 said, the John Erdos lacked functionality due to the limited no. of shelves. And being tired from looking at tv consoles, we finally bought this.

. Hi art Noticed you had 4 bulbs for the red brick wall. Can I know how long is that wall? We're not very sure how many bulbs to get for each track. Thanks!

I like the first pic most. Very nice laminates!

I like the secret drawer! Your I'd is really good, is attentive to details and more importantly, takes pride in his work!

Hi! Welcome to renotalk! We're having our second renovation too, but we're the reverse- think we're more "on" now then last time!

And we bought our sofa and tv console from Commune: My wife and I would like to thank Vannesa for suggesting Commune at Defu Lane. Didn't know they've got hidden gems. We were actually not so keen on Commune as the items on display at Millenia is pretty limited. Despite RetchLow's not so pleasant experience with Commune, we have decided to take the risk and purchased our sofa and tv console from them (and yes the sofa has buttons ! ). Reason is that we have realised it wasn't easy for us to find a simple, comfortable and yet good looking sofa. We have actually short-listed a few, and there was still something wrong somewhere. 1) Sofa: These were the ones we have initially shortlisted : Secret sofa & Humphrey : Yes its quite pretty. But definitely not comfy. I wanted something where i can throw my butt on after a hard day at work (my butt isn't big to begin with). However it was way too hard for our liking, though my wife's best friend told her that sofas are not meant to be comfy. And there was something wrong with the design. Maybe it doesn't look "timeless" ? Or its not "clean" enough for our liking? Franc franc Couleur Sofa: Sofa is actually comfy and has 'clean lines'. We would have settled on this if we hadn't stepped into Commune. So we went to Commune and ended up with : We were the first customer at Commune, and the moment my wife stepped in, she pointed that out to me. As you all may know, I've got weird taste (bad) occasionally and it took me a while to warm up to the sofa. The first thing i did was to plunge onto it, and yes it's bouncy When making payment, we actually reminded the sales person to take note of the buttons and ensure they're properly sewed. Could tell he was trying very hard not to roll his eyes.

hi Volkswagon7983, Sorry we didnt manage to go John Erdos today as we were mentally and physically exhausted from shopping for toilet bowls, shower fittings, sofa blah blah. However I've noticed the price is displayed on their website, and the console u were asking is going for S$2.5k. Hope this helps

Her carpenter ??? You serious ??? You didn't read her blog??

I love the paper! Excellent buy! Where did you get it from?

I've seen flats that kept the tiles supplied by hdb and they looked very nice! I've always thought that it is the furnishings that make the house look nice, so if they look ok, I would think it is better to keep it and channel the funds to some big ticket items. Just my thoughts...

Hey! Thanks! We sometimes make weird decisions so it is good someone highlighted it to us.

Remember to have it put in writing. Very important just in case. Also, do note down the name of theperson that you dealt with.
