wow. you're going to have the luxury of having a humongous TV screen for your huge living room! considering pimping it out to become a movie theatre-ish space?

Country style!

Hello Makan! Long time no see Hope your rectifications and all is coming along better. Don't pay the contractor the last cheque until he starts being responsible I'll load more pictures once it's confirmed we can load them. I can hopefully do so in August

Smart choice! We got a soundbar with the player installed too. Now that we're living in the house and using the things, it's the best decision we've ever made

Haha yah, a lot of my friends who saw thought the dog was fake This is one of the shots taken by my ID's professional photographer contact. He's quite good, I must say.

haha the same photobucket problem! I turned to Google+ very nice table!

super lovely lights!

Haven't been to renotalk in a while. Hope everything is going better for you!

Thanks mrmerry for suggesting that! I finally tried it out and did a random google to find out how to copy and paste the link on renotalk. Coincidentally, the search returned a renotalk t-blog that you had commented on to share how to do so. Hahaha Shall test if it works with one picture. Am too lazy to go "revive" the other photos that were on photobucket

Looks like my photobucket bandwidth has exceeded its limit. shall wait for it to reset because paying for online storage is so overrated

Hahaha, thank you thank you. You are very kind

Thank you! The unique shape and layout made us decide to buy the place Haha we did take some ourselves, but we don't have dslr, so it's all mobile phone camera quality Waiting for Home and Decor in August. Apparently we're getting featured then

Ack, ID just informed us that we can't post the professional pictures their photographer took of our house until August. Have to keep them in my computer till mid August then -_-

Yup! Enjoy the area! Chong Pang is quite awesome

Everything looks better when you use a dslr, haha Just realized we don't have professional shots of our home, oops shall load them soon now that our designers have passed the pictures to us! More shooting in the house. Amazing how the home looks so different with a professional camera. The cat is unsure of the new people. Hahaha Quite excited to see how the home turns out in the magazine.

Welcome to yishun!

Can see! http://www.paperus.com.sg/products.html You click on the different tabs - premium gardens, basic gardens or bottles

You can check this place out - http://www.facebook.com/greenbanana.net?fref=ts But he mostly uses cacti in his terrariums. Otherwise, you can check out http://www.paperus.com.sg/index.html. They use a variety of plants. But they are quite expensive

Terrariums!

We have the same tile! But we only have 1 such tile in the house, haha I second what Makanology says! We bought some pieces for display around the house, and the one that we're using in the kitchen has soaked up the moisture around it and dulled in color. We bought another 6 pieces to place on our balcony and display our mini greenhouse on, and because we were going to put it outdoors, the tile shop advised us to apply a coat of sealant. Having seen how they apply sealant (they really just take a can of sealant and brush a layer on), I highly doubt it'll last long. I think the tiles on our balcony (sealant applied) have dulled slightly already.

We got all our SMEG stuff from the main distributor in Singapore - APS Lifestyle. They have a building somewhere around River Valley I can't quite remember the price, but it was around $400. We got the one with parts from Italy but assembled in China. The salesperson recommended the assembled in China one saying it was more value for money. If I remember correctly, the parts from Italy and assembled in Italy model was around $1000. Those prices are before the designer discount

Super love our air fryer. It's been serving us crispy fries, and today we tried mini curry puffs with it. Can't stress how easy it is to fry things now that we have the air fryer. The gorgeous Mayer air fryer is still on sale at Tangs the last time we went a week or two ago. Very value for money! For those who want an air fryer, go check it out

Ah yes, always important to have something to help organize the house. Convince the husband! Got those dessert plates from Soon Lee at Haji Lane. But that shop changes their stock quite often, so I'm not sure if they'll still have those plates. We got them quite a while ago.

Hey Makanology! IKEA's website says Tampines IKEA has 23 pieces of Fabrikor in grey and Alexandra IKEA has 8 pieces of Fabrikor in green. Are you only looking for beige?

I know I'm very late to this scene (haha ), but we just went to CB2 last weekend and were quite impressed with the layout. The pieces here have more character as compared to the cleaner pieces in Crate & Barrel. Some of them are more affordable as well, but most of them were about the same price as the pieces in Crate & Barrel. It's interesting how the store diversified into one clean-cut store in ION and one edgier store next to Centrepoint. Didn't get anything (except for a dinosaur candle holder) because we've already gotten whatever we need for the house. It was very tempting to get more because of the many pretty things there, but too many pretty things in one not-so-big house only makes the place look smaller and wastes the beauty of the things. Have to exercise control We don't know where to put the dinosaur yet, so the bookshelf will have to do. Spot the dinosaur! Also, our IKEA Fabrikor cabinet has been serving us well. We got the dark grey one because our place is already very white and doesn't need another cream item, and our parquet floor is darker wood so the light green one would look rather odd (that's just my thinking, feel free to disagree ). But looking at the picture below totally makes me swoon. I think it's the combination of wall tiles, floor tiles, long window and accessories inside the cabinet. The beauty is really in the details. Imagine bottles of Mama Lemon or striking orange plastic floor mats Hahaha, tak match. Time to clean the house and arrange the stuff again. Got to prepare for visitors next week. So much work
