Actually we are thinking of this too! Wondering where to buy fake leaves... And we build a 'garden' in the bathroom. Like that, 'doing business' will be therapeutic LOL -

This queen a bit hard to be boxed up! It is not just thick but wide-spreading like a tree or an upside-down octopus. It is like to do a vertical box-up and a false ceiling. That will make the common bathroom really puny. Thinking of leaving it open and follow what retch did - paint it black. But then it will look quite sci-fi, urghhhh! -

Wow nice clocks! The 2nd one very pretty but close to $400! It looks quite well done though. We almost bought the karlsson 双面 clock but ended up buying something else -
Yeah congrats!

Hi, here are the pix & info of my Mom's new toy: Misul rice polishing machine by Makanology, on Flickr Misul rice polishing machine by Makanology, on Flickr Misul rice polishing machine by Makanology, on Flickr -
$35k does not include furnishing & electrical appliances? Then budget would be just nice if you engage a contractor

How about Gwen @ My Home Vintage? Nice lady and decent prices. Or Joanne's Vintage? I am now deciding to buy more Dumex stuff or not BUT if I don't control myself, I'll run out of display place at our new place (though Only getting our keys tomorrow LOL). So I can only buy extremely rare / beautiful / irresistible pieces now! -

Think I saw something similar at Wee's today. Have you been to his place? Very neatly displayed and lots of gems. But his prices a wee bit steep, IMO. -

Just went for our flat inspection and spent some time scrutinizing the common bathroom of the flat that will soon be ours: Flat inspection day by Makanology, on Flickr 2 VERY visible pipes in the common bathroom = super-duper freaking ugly! To top it all, check out the 'crowning' glory of the middle pipe: Flat inspection day by Makanology, on Flickr This is indeed the MOTHER-of-all pipes! Now what are we supposed to do with this? -

It is very hard to get a full set but when you really get hold of it, wow the satisfaction is beyond description right? -
Out of curiosity, wouldn't stripping off the print on the absolute bottle affect its look?

@ment0s hey long time no hear... Have u moved in yet? Show more pix leh! Yes definitely will use them. Yesterday met a vintage seller and she said these are corning ware Jaj series. Here are the plates: Hidden gems at Mom's by Makanology, on Flickr Pardon the Unicity bottles! How I wish my mom bought bowls from the same series, if any! -
Besta is cheaper I think. But not bad, your contractor sure can draw and a drawing helps a lot!

I think the latter quote that you have gotten seems quite ex. If compared to what Alan quoted me, now his rate seems ok though he never put a cap on the number of lighting & fan points he will help to install in the lump sum quoted. Hope he is not too calculative?

@kelstorm I think I saw those modern grandfather clocks at IMM that you mentioned; in fact, I am looking at them now as I eat at Wanchai ;p Yes Taobao has those cuckoo clocks and some with German certicates, seem quite original. If I am not wrong, cuckoo clocks originate from Germany (maybe Black Forest) and the carvings are so intricate and nice! Can range anything from S$60+ to over S$200+, depending on the complexity of the designs. -
This is a dangerous thread

Wah so fast! Thanks

Oh definitely! Pink is so me and even Mr E will approve! Even my car is pink ;p

Ya, same here! My mom was saying "aiyah 早知道你喜欢,我当时就不应该丢。我已经丢很多了!" I was so hoping mad!

@3Dyms yeah Mr Quah is amazing right? Unfortunately he doesn't have many GU10 lamps for us to choose. We found an online source but pending contractor's nod to go ahead with the purchase. -

I think my mom is super happy about me helping to clear her cabinets... So that she can buy more stuff. She actually has this machine that polishes or cleans or ionizes rice grains (sorry I still can't decipher what that machine does but mom swears that our rice which has been processed by it is the super best quality with great health properties ...) Anyways just bought this: Latest vodka baby! by Makanology, on Flickr
