I totally know what you mean. I was the same when we were settling our resale. Read so many horror stories that I started worrying about my own transaction. Couldn't really relax until the keys were in my hands

When you mention pencil leg, I just can't help but imagine it with dip-dyed tips! I'm totally in love with pencil legs, especially ones that are dipped like this - http://m.flickr.com/photos/likethatone/8615972087/lightbox/Bought the cat scratch post from pet lovers!

Thank you! it's fun to add the little touches, it's what I've been waiting to do since we moved. Only thing is that it takes a while to build character for the house Made more bunting for the place last night How is your renovation going 3Dyms? Settled the issue with your seller?

Good looking kitchen things! the tap is quite sleek! Does it go well with your black hob?

I totally agree. If you're planning to stay in this place for a good while, spend the money and do what you need done, because it's going to be much better than wanting to change it later after you move in. Tiles were a must change for us because we couldn't stand the old "obiang" look of the original ones, and the aircon was a must-go because aircons break down whenever, so it's wise to just change it now since you're not living in it yet. Trying to change aircon later after moving in is going to be such a pain. All the best with your renovation!

Yeah, as much as it's tempting for me to order a vintage print wallpaper, I think it's a bad idea for me to put wallpaper because my tastes and fancies change. I actually read somewhere on an interior design site that wallpapers are among the top bad choices that people usually make when designing their houses

Multiple post.

He keeps lying on the hard ground, silly puppy. Guineas' area is set!

Thanks for reminding us of another area we overlooked! We didn't want a feature wall, and didn't want built-in TV console, so we have to make do with exposed wires because we chose to mount our TV. This is how it looks. We bunched the wires together using a wire manager. The TV wall is so empty though. Need some ideas

Your place looks new! Makes renovation easier, hopefully congrats on getting your place! All the best with renovation

Our photos are finally up on the wall! Now on to more walls around the house

Nice diamond clock! all the best with your wedding and reno!

nice pictures for inspiration! You should totally pursue the island/dining table if you are able to. We sort of did that and love it all the best with reno!

Hahaha, you got that right Makanology! I love my grey one, it's serving us well can't wait to use it proper during housewarming to wheel snacks and stuff around

Congrats of being able to move in soon! Let the unpacking begin! we're totally still arranging and getting/making things here and there for the house. Feels like it'll take forever

PM-ed you

Spending Sunday arranging the place. Still a work in progress...

Yup!

We're starting to send the invites to our housewarming. 2 weeks to get the house ready! *stress*

When are you moving in?

Haha yah, stickers pasted by myself. I think I also have a sticker that has a rabbit on it

The dog and cat get their own shower bottles too.

We don't open the balcony doors unless we're home So far, the cat seems more interested in lazing or following us around than exploring the balcony ledge.

This isn't interior design related, but Chong Pang food market reopened! It has been under renovation since we moved into our new place, and we've only gotten to eat the food from the coffee shops around the food market. But wow, I never knew why people kept telling me I'm lucky to be near Chong Pang. Now I do! No more having to go to Bedok 85 for awesome hawker food! On a more interior design-related note, mom's room is looking better (from the previous mess and sparseness). The walls are still kinda bare though, hmm.. Suggestions welcomed!

The sofa on the balcony is from IKEA! The name is Garpen. We bought two one-seat sections and joined them together It's $50 for one section, cushions sold separately. Cushions were about $20 each, depending on size.Our balcony door type is accordion. Not sure if it can also be called bifold. But we paid a lot for the doors. Sliding would have been much cheaper, but we wanted unobstructed access to the balcony and really disliked the idea of sliding doors. Think we paid about the same as the price you were quoted. We also have 6 panels. If you opt for that, make sure they don't use the cheaper type like PD door material. My ID said they have a cheaper type, but it turns out to look quite cheap and flimsy. Pink pouf was about $150. They have many other colors available. I love their poufs Hope this helps!
