    While the title of this blog might say Industrial, the theme is really more Rustic (farm) Industrial.

    This week, I asked my contractor to add a little detail to the top of my doors because they looked so sad with that narrow door frame. I just wanted it to look more 3-dimensional. I do prefer the new additions!

    The lights are up! When I saw how small the dining pendant lights were, I decided to add another and so the last is still on its way! The black square lights were huge but looked great in the 2 common bedrooms.

    So far, I've received the rainshowers, mixers, kitchen drawer pulls and knobs and lights. I'm very pleased with all! However, I'm actually passing my mum the rainshowers as I realised that my bathroom accessories are nickle plated and I prefer that to shiny chrome!

    Hi Fingerscrossed,

    Did you buy the showerhead and mixer combo from TB ? Could you share with me the link if you did ? It looks good ! Just wondering how the piping is done. Are the pipes concealed ?

    Hello! Yes I did. It arrived yesterday. 10kg! I was impressed. Only problem is that I ordered chrome and then merrily ordered my bathroom accessories in brushed nickle! IF you are interested, I'm looking to sell the rainshower set. I'm not conceiling the piping coz hard to do it in my toilet. It'll pretty much look like the picture of the product I guess.

    Hi Fingercrossed

    I've also purchased a unit with the exact layout except it's mirror image. Am cracking my head on how to design it. Im also very much in favor of a kitchen island. Look forward to more pics from you and hopefully can get some inspiration. Good luck!

    Sorry for the late reply! The reno is going well and I'm pleased with the current design. I'll take a few pictures tomorrow when I visit again. The floors were done yesterday :)

    Hi Fingercrossed,

    This also the floor trap that i'm aiming for :notti: but not for current house of course.

    Been checking out all the renovation stuff and accessories online. You can find it locally too but price wise will be more expensive to get from TB.

    For those interested, here is the site:

    But not sure are they willing to sell direct to the consumer or we have to get through their retailers.

    Wow! These look great!

    Today, I went tile shopping after work and finally decided on bathroom tiles and kitchen tile. Going with the cement screed look. The tiles for the master bathroom looks very similar to the common bathroom actually. Just wanted them to be different (even that slight difference made me happy!) I didn't like any of the feature wall tiles and so decided to go without. I'll be leaving the pipes exposed and will paint them grey.

    Also going for a screed look for the kitchen.

    Then...I saw "white brick" tiles!! I've KIV-ed it to see where I can use them :) But they are stark white.

    Hi, may I have the link to these?

    Living/dining shelf with rollers, barn door

    Bedrm cabinet & bedside table.

    Like what your photo is, ordering from Taobao I got to keep my finger crossed too...hahaha

    Hello! When I first saw this Tmall store, their rating was 4.8...it has steadily fallen since to about 4.4/4.6. I am most worried about these purchases. So if you can wait about a month, I can tell you more about their quality then. (It is taking them 2 months to fulfill my orders - bedside table, vanity, dining table and side board with shelves). These designs are from Restoration Hardware, one of my favourite stores in the US.

    For both the barn door and furniture, they actually showed me previous pieces of furniture/doors they had done. The furniture store had a lot of wood to choose from and finishes. I figured I was saving a lot buying furniture made from real wood instead of compressed wood. Once again, fingers crossed.

    Here are the links:

    Shelf

    http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=40059296811&spm=a1z09.2.9.382.hblyba&_u=l1rhs9grd8d0

    Vanity and bedside table: for these, I showed them pictures of the ones I wanted from Restoration Hardware, requested for colour and provided the dimensions. So they aren't even in their store. In case you are wondering, I use Google Translate for all my conversations with sellers (I'm a C5 for Chinese student) :P

    http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=39223847621&spm=a1z09.2.9.366.hblyba&_u=l1rhs9gr1c55

    Barn Doors and handle: Again, I told them what I wanted for the design (ie drew it out and took a picture).

    can i have the link for your yellow kitchen lights?

    thanks!

    Sure thing! I actually ordered one first to check out the quality. Was afraid that it was plastic as it was only $18.60 (!!).

    It is metal. However, the yellow is more of a lemon yellow and not the buttery yellow in the picture. I'll take a picture later and post it.

    Taobao Buys

    Like many others, I've taken the plunge and purchased furniture, lights, bathroom fixtures and home decor from Taobao.

    I have not received my furniture as it is taking them 2 months to make them! (they will be ready early Dec)

    I will post my purchases here and will provide feedback about quality as I receive my items

    Living/Dining Room:

    Dining Table, dining chairs, bar stools and ceiling lights
