    Hi... do you remember what laminate is in your living room? Name or model? It is very nice! I ADORE your tv console!!!

    Hi AshleyAdam,

    ours is not laminate, its wood texture homogenous tiles and you can find it in Hup Kiong Pte Ltd 564 Balestier Road, or Hafary along the stretch of tiles shops, as for the model no. I really can't remember.

    Thanks for your comments and yup we search for several places for TV console and eventually found it at Cluck Cluck. :)

    Hi, did you use airfreight for your taobao loots? How many kg was your package and how much did the shipping cost u?

    I am shipping rather big items over, lightings for whole house + trashcan + small decorative items, should be using seafreight!

     

    Hi I am using sea freight (economy) for my taobao items. I purchased through Peeka and they use cubic cm for sizes and doesn't matter on weight. Normally my shipping is about 15-20 percent of the total cost on items, you can check through Peeka and they ve shipment calculator for you to check ur shipping charges and so far they are reliable they ensure the quality of items b4 sending to consumer.

    Hope it helps :)

    Hi, how much did you pay for the carpet in Sing dollars plus the courier service?? Thanks.

    Hi vuzu,

    it cost $5.25 for the carpet and as I bought it together with other stuff, so its hard for to specify the courier service charges for the carpet only. I bought form taobao through peeka, you may try n check on peeka

    I thought I won't be updating my blog anymore but recently something that really makes me boil and angry about it and hence I feel i need to inform everyone who is reading my blog...

    Its about my SMEG fridge, it looks good with its retro design but there is 1 flaw which I only discover recently... its does not auto-defrost on the freezer compartment. Meaning to say it will accumulate layers of ice around it which only the olden type of fridge will ve this issue. I will ve to manually defrost it by turning off the refrigerator n let the layer of ice melts n clean up the freezer n switch on again. Its kind of ridiculous which I need to take into considerations that my frozen food may spoil as I need to switch off the fridge for a period...... :o

    Anyway this is the problem of this fridge now but what I want to inform everyone is never ever go to UNILITE at Jalan Kayu if you r considering to buy a SMEG fridge. This is because the owner MR David claimed that the whole fridge is auto-defrost when we bought it and he only realised when I called him and told him that the technician came n said we ve to manually defrost it. :angry2: He claimed that there is a button behind the fridge to do auto defrost. He said will check and get back to us but its been dragging for 2 weeks plus since I told him about this issue and no news from him. We have to go to look for him but yet he insisted that its the agent problem and even try to smoke off by saying he got tell us... :curse: wa lau its really KNS! He can even said those who wana buy SMEG will do some research b4 coming to buy, KNN maciam now its our fault that we never research on the technical part of the fridge, he is the seller n yet he is not sure of what he is selling n confirmed with us its auto-defrost for whole fridge when buying from him... And now where is the button he mentioned?? The only solution he give us now is to upgrade to another new model which ve auto-defrost for whole fridge but ve to pay another 1200 bucks for it?!!!! I could use this money to get a better fridge, really ridiculous and pissed off.

    The part we are most pissed off with is his attitude. Irresponsible and keep pushing the responsibility to APS agent.

    Anyway I will go and confront him again and there would be less victim like us who face this issue at UNILITE :angry2:

    Anyone got SMEG fridge and has no auto defrost for the freezer part? May I know how u guys deal with the icing layer?

    Yes! I heard Franc Franc is closing down. So sad.... Seriously, their furniture are overpriced even though some are quite lovely.

    Yup agreed that most of their stuff are overpriced, but glad we managed to get this sofa which is what we wanted and price still acceptable for us. :)

    Hi Runningman, nice house! Would you mind sharing where you've gotten your wood texture homogenous tiles from (i.e. the shop and tile model number)? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Whitetissue,

    The tiles are form Hup Kiong Pte Ltd 564 Balestier Road, as for the model no. I really can't remember. There are a few shops (ie Hafary) along that stretch of Balestier road selling tiles too, you may try look around. :)

    Last but not least, the artwork of us which I drew and painted and is hanging now in our living room. :)

    This was a scene when we were in Maldives and we really love the sea, sand and sun (although Mrs might not like to be too tanned) :notti:

    那些年， 我们一起看的大海。 执子之手， 与子偕老。 :D

    Hi Runningman,

    Happened to come across your t-blog, :rolleyes: looking good. :good: Recgonise the bookshelf and stripe walls to be quite similiar to what Mr K had always do :notti: but understand that you did not take up Mr K eventually.

    I had Mr K for my rennovation and there was some issues too, wont say its the best experience. Even customers who engaged him after me seems to have some issues with him too. :wacko:

    Anyway glad that you did not engage him and had someone else to do up your scandi home. Your layout is completely mirror image of mine but your dinning area seems to be shorter. Love the way you hack the kitchen wall and had a counter at the entrance. :good:

    What did you used the cratebox for? I saw people selling online and was thinking to do up a modular display shelf or bookshelf with the cratebox but we ened up buying some wall shelves instead which is easier as well. =x

    Your HDB kitchen tiles and the door against the stripe counter looks exactly the same as what i have too! Does your bto happens to be in Fernvale?

    Hi Plainsharon,

    thanks so much for ur comments and feedback, I ve been following ur T-blog too and we like your home design and decor :)

    Yup we also feel that it might not be a good timing for Mr K too and glad we engaged someone else. We always wanted a zakka + country + scandi home style and hence ve been doing some research and getting inspirations. We ve decided to hack the wall the 1st time we got our keys n saw it, so as to make the kitchen entrance bigger and to ve a counter which is 1 of Mrs favourite.

    I used the crate boxes for our DIY coffee table base and the other I used it to place my telephone n some stuff on it and another is for me to sit on it while wearing my socks :)

    Yup we r in Fernvale too :good: and thanks again for ur time reading our blog.

    Hi VincentWangZx,

    thanks a lot for your comments! Yup you need to add a lighting point on that spot, as usually HDB flat passaway lighting point is on the ceiling.

    For that colour I need to go and check the name and code number but its from Nippon paint. :)

    Hi VincentWangZx,

    The color is Nippon Vinilex 5000 Aqua Marine.

    Nice room! Mind if I ask, the corridor wall light; did you have to fabricate a new lighting point for it?

    Also, what color is the wall behind the blue sofa? If you still have the name of the paint and brand, it would be most helpful.
