We were initially looking at some of your selected pieces as well! The burger bed, tv console from mountain teak and commune bench. Thought the bench is really unique too, as compared to the more reasonably priced ones in Sg. So will opt for table 3 too -

Hihi, your mailbox is full. Can share your LED distributor contact please? Thanks! -

This looks like a great dressing 'table'! Interesting you chose to use the common bathroom instead of the nearer MBR one. We are just going to use one bathroom as much as possible too Have chatted with the tap seller you recommended, he really sells alot of other products! See until my eyes popped! Hahah..thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing, seems pretty fast. Good to have more options

Nice loots! Wondering how long does oops take to deliver the stuff?

Oh really? I have been eyeing the zebra whistling kettle one for the time and it really looks similar! Glad to hear that the fruit flies probably not the fridge's issue. Loving this model's 450L capacity! But as it is quite deep, hubby has been persuading me to get a newer but smaller model at 395L so that it doesn't 'poke' out from the cabinet as much... -
Waaaahhh.. You sure have storage everywhere! I almost went for a nice counter top basin till i realised the space required.. Hence thinking of a semi recessed one like yours too
-
Wah... I suppose there will be cakes/cookies for your guests??
-
Ah I see..Mine is for whole unit so looking at every cent! Thanks for sharing!
-
Wah appreciate the reviews on lightings! Getting them from taobao too Btw care to share how much was the supreme laminates? I'm probably getting mine from woodculture - Berry Alloc since their riveria range appears to be more water resistant. But quite ex of coz..checking if there are other options.
-
Ahh I see.. If ikea works for you then would think their prices are hard to beat! I see some people in renotalk shipping furniture pieces from Taobao though..maybe you can try if you are willing to take some risk?
-
Hoping to finalise my flat design by then so I can start getting lightings, chairs, taps, lots of (& some probably unnecessary) kitchen accessories and maybe even ceramic ware! I have a thing for buying containers & jars, not knowing what to put in them! Hahah.. end up I will buy more things to fill them! This will be my first purchase by sea freight. Most probably will try out Amcon as peeka rates seem quite high? Am abit concerned if things will start to go haywire since volume of transactions is expected to be really high that period. Oh well, worth a shot if there are good deals!

Thanks! Good to hear that they are ok! The one with the crack is indeed unfortunate.. Have been looking through TB for some time and those so called branded ones at lower prices are probably knock offs. A tell-tale sign is that the same looking taps/shower mixtures are all branded differently (kohler, grohe and even jomoo)! I actually went to the extent of going to these brands' china website to match the models! Concluded that even some highly priced items by tmall sellers are questionable In the end zoom in to Moen taps. Since it's a US brand, they have some reviews on amazon and the fittings are catered to chinese market, so probably won't need converter/adapter like those bought from amazon. Oh well, wish me luck!

The kettle looks like the Zebra one that I'm eyeing, just not sure if it comes in this colour. Anyway, what a lovely looking home (all the accessories, shoes etc included )! Am going for similar theme, rustic-woody-industrial feel! Hope it turns out well! Btw, wondering if you managed to solve/investigate the fruit fly issue? I'm getting the same model fridge from Hitachi! The thing abt Jap brands is that it's super thick and if that is not bad enough, they recommend a 10cm gap behind fridge for ventilation! Haiz but I really like this spacious model. Can already imagine storing all my what-nots in it! -
Wah you have been shopping! Hahah.. your comment on the pull-out larder cracks me up...the men better don't interfere with our kitchen area! Looking forward to your reviews on the items! Am looking to get stuff too and I have got >60 potential items in my Taobao cart liao! Will you be going for the 11 Nov Tmall sales to get more stuff? Saw the advisory on Peeka, sounds like a really major event!
-
Thanks for the heads-up, will take special note of it when choosing tiles! & same to you! Have a smooth reno journey! Looking forward to seeing your nice home!
-
Nice place & thanks for sharing your taobao loots! Am still thinking of whether should get taps and shower mixers from there..worry about quality but the prices are really attractive!
-
You managed to get your black WC already? Doesn't seem to have many options in the market? Hahaha.. maybe the designer did sliding shower screen for his own and expected everyone else to follow suit. I dunno who is more stupiak though..the one who design it or the one that approves it Will start my blog when I firm up the design! Still making quite a no of changes
-
No prob with sharing! We are eyeing suar table from arthur zaaro. They have a tiered pricing dependent on the length. They recently increased their prices in sep so -it cost ard $3K + for a 1.7-1.8m table with black metal legs (this is additional charge)? There appears to be lower cost options around but as we are not experts in sussing out wood quality, thought would be better to go with a more reputable firm. Yah for bathrooms, already giving up the darker tiles option. It's just that sitting on the WC, turn right and the cabinet is in your face and you can't turn left coz will hit the shower screen...that feeling is....indescribable.. And sure, will start a blog when design is firmed up! I'm still at the fickle mind stage

Hey thanks for sharing! Will probably drop by C&B to take a look. Am looking for alternatives to a suar wood dining table which we are eyeing but still trying to convince ourselves to pay that amount! As for the btos, think it's really dependent which project you go for. I wouldn't term mine as pretty for sure...more like a failed attempt at looking like premium..muahaha. I'm also an advocate of smaller spaces (less areas to clean!) but some tight spaces really get to you at times..especially now when I'm looking at my ID's proposed layout, with the WC flanked by vanity cabinet & half shower screen on the sides..leaving only 600-700mm space for WC area.. imagine feeling claustrophobic while doing business... Loving your 3Ds btw! Looking forward to see the final product! Have a smooth reno journey!

Black WC!! My ID used black in his 3D too and I told him a black one will prob provide us with the excuse of not having to clean as often coz can't see So long as you are prepared that darker tiles makes the area looks smaller, a dark bathroom looks cool & posh! Had initially considered dark tiles for master bathroom too but am reconsidering after seeing an actual application in a friend's place. Makes it look really tiny! And since your layout is pretty similar to mine..not too sure if you have this big fugly window above toilet bowl in MBR toilet? Checked my floorplan again and yours shouldn't have this issue coz HDB should have included it in floorplan if there is one. It's to provide access to the aircon ledge. Mine has it...so big mirror is out When are you getting your keys? I'm waiting for mine by end nov!
-
Nice! I always go back to wonder if I made the right choice going for a bto instead of a resale whenever I see spacious places like this! But I agree both have its own set of concerns. Btw can I just check where are you customising the table below? Unique legs!
-
I second looneygas's advice on ikea shelves.. not really durable even for normal usage (based on my family's and own unfortunate experiences ). Not sure if $2K shelves are worthwhile in bomb shelter since it's largely a hidden spot? Have planned to go for those metal racks offered by companies such as sim win liang. Seems more durable for heavy stuff too if looks isn't a major concern.
