Just make sure your TB stuff do not explode after some time. You are talking about made-in-china stuff.

(Quote) I really loved the idea of using a wood glass-fronted cabinet as my shoe storage. (unQuote) - NOT a good idea. Unless you are Imelda Marcos, don't display shoes visible to the eyes (thru glass). These glass cabinets are most for display so find something worthy of display like fine chinaware, cultural artifacts etc (not Doremons or Star Wars figurines, and NOT Hello Kitties). PS. If you have a pair of McQueen of course it will be another story.

A little imbalanced to me. While the passage and the less significant sections of the unit were beautifully put together, the anchor areas like living room seem/s to be a little too bland. It gives the underdone feeling. Throw in some rugs. Contemporary chinese decos and fixtures give the whole feel some degree of harshness. Adding rugs and carpets (the right ones please) may soften the atmosphere. Chinese furnishings are not exactly the easiest, whether traditional or contemporary. One wrong piece of furniture can turn the whole deco disastrous. Best wishes for your new home and may you find happiness in it.
