Yeah! Long weekend! Tomorrow we are going to spend the whole day packing stuff to move over so it will be busy busy busy! Sharing our completed living room. Inspiration: Actual: Light on: Light off: Another shot of the counter: Full view of our black + white + grey living room with some colorful & cute elements^^ These days we like to chill out in front of the TV watching Netflix & munching on snacks (that we stocked up on). Very relaxing!

Hi Bernicelogy, Sorry, don't quite understand..Which kitty item and commercial tiles are you referring to?

We have broadband now! Hurray for wifi!! Hubby transported over his pc & was busy over the weekend setting it up. Here's how it looks like now. All matching black accessories. I'm still waiting for mine... I wanted everything pink but had a hard time at Sim Lim searching high & low for a pink casing. No one sells pink casing anymore nowadays?? Also in a dilemma currently. Should I go for a 27-inch pc monitor or should I buy a 32" full HD TV & use it as a monitor? Any advice /recommendation? I'm mainly using it for reading manga, watching anime & dramas^^ Before he installed his TV, his console is already taken up by more toys, but he still generally has more space than me. Fast running out of space in my own war-zone, haha OK, think this is the more-or-less completed version of this area: 1/2 shower screen also installed. Happy shower time! Now water will no longer splash everywhere^^

Thank you! We love them too. Looking forward to seeing your home's progress. It is a most exciting time!!

Hi Kelvin, We bought the i-con 48 model from Universal Union, black without light & silver with light. It comes with 4 blades but you can choose to install 3 or 4. Previously we installed 4 but we had since changed to 3 as we feel 3 blades look nicer. Here's the link for the bar counter: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.158.nJu4v6&id=40981312267&_u=d1taaa029a83

Little London

Parisian x london theme! It sounds very exciting!! Would love to see your interpretation, hope everything goes well for you -
Very nice!! I love the touch with the storybooks, so quaint! I loved Beatrix Potter when I was young. Seeing this makes me feel like reading her books all over again!

Hi Kelvin, You're welcome. My hubby's room installed ceiling fan with light. The light is very bright. By itself is enough for the whole room, so you might like to consider that as an option.

Our home is self-designed, & will be a continuous work-in-progress as we strive to maintain & enhance it. The renovation process has been a wonderful journey. We did without alot of the elements that are popular today but just simply went for what we like. Most importantly, we are comfortable in our home & like what we have created.. Hope you are inspired to create your own too!

Hi Kelvin, This is my lighting plan: We like the look of tracklights, but we are not using them as the "main" lighting source, mostly for areas where we will need some light. In the plan, you can see, only 4 areas are using tracklights. They are all 1 metre long tracks with 3 tracklights each, 7w & white light. We find them sufficient & bright enough. Some pics I took yest (using camera & no filter /edit): Main entrance: Walkway, view from front: Walkway, view from MBR: Hubby's desk area: WIW area:

Continuous Home Improvement (CHI) continues.. Pending M1 installation of broadband this coming Fri, as well as out 1/2 shower screen installation. Doing a 1/2 cos our MBR bath is tiny, a full one will make it look (& feel) even tinier. Also, the only window in the MBR bath overlooks the corridor, so at nite, the light shining in makes our MBR bright as our MBR bath's door is frosted glass. Presenting my $11.80 solution to our problem: Purchased an extension rod from Japan Home at $1.80 (1/2 price promo) + $2 shower curtain clips from Daiso + $8/m cotton twill cloth sourced from Chinatown, now we have a curtain that shields the light. Daiso is really a treasure trove!! Been visiting Daiso alot these past few weeks. Always in search of more stuff that is useful & will enhance our home. Showcasing some useful Daiso buys: Got this white french tin to hold my hot pink roses from Taobao for our WIW: Bought 2 photoframes, printed 2 pictures & now we have some wall deco that we can switch out the pics anytime we get bored. You can print slogans, inspiration, comic strips, anything really, that you fancy. It will instantly change any space. Hubby cooked our first home-cooked meal using our oven.Jamie Oliver's roast chicken, It was pretty easy & turned out really delicious we finished every bit: Yest passed by Muji & finally bought these clear glass bowls. Really like the simple cleancut look of them:

Hehe, he has his own toys & I have my own. No fighting among us on who gets what^^

Hi Donno, PM-ed you^^

We made a quick trip to Ikea yest, had a nice yummy dinner at their cafe & bought some *really affordable* stuff for our home. Most ex item is only $19.90! Really like how their stuff looks so clean-cut & nice, & of cos at pretty unbeatable prices. We placed the bench at the wall at foot of our bed. To hold stuff like a book, mag, drink, etc. This wall behind our headboard is also a partition as we flushed the recessed area to be aligned to the other wall, so we can't mount anything on it, hence wall-mounted bedside table options are out. We placed the white cube from Ikea to be used as a table. It fits nicely into the space & only costs $14.90. Can hold gadgets for charging comfortably. Hubby has shifted over his toys & now the Walking Dead has taken over his console! He has spent some time fixing up his AT Lego (instead of helping me with the housework, humph) but I must say, it looks pretty impressive after it's finished. Think this area has been designated for Star Wars: Still slowly shifting stuff over. Ahhh... can't wait to move in soon!

Thank you! I have been collecting for 15 years, finally it's time to dig them out of storage^^

Now we are slowly moving our stuff over whenever we have time. Was joking to hubby how my kitties were homeless (living in cartons) & now that I am the proud owner of a brand new 25-room apartment (my 5 x 5 Kallax shelf), I can now give them a home >.< Shelves still looking kinda empty at the moment: Audrey Hepburn x Kitty & Marilyn Monroe x Kitty collection taking up 1 "room": Rooms are limited so they have to share. Laduree x Kitty collection taking up another "room" Rio Matsumoto & Erio Kurosaki x Kitty in the glass Detolf: Really super happy to see them displayed in their new home!!

Hi Weiyan, I have PM-ed you my curtains. So far find them ok. They are blackout so effectively keep out light. If we draw curtains across the windows at home even in daytime, we will need to switch on lights else the place will look quite dark. Material is those thick dust-free type which only needs washing once a year, so I think will be quite convenient for us. For our WIW, we are using trackilights. If you are referring to the square light that is at our MBR doorway entrance, it's called the Ice pendant. Really like the shape & overall look of it, definitely one of our fave lighting purchases Here's the link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.35.9gUOJ5&id=36751823449&_u=11taaa021c15

Hi mrsjimmymare, This shot was taken with the yellow bulb lighting from the bar counter lamp so it tends to distort colors a little bit. The wall on the left is actually a very light grey, the window frame a very light blue-white. We were told the factory only has this tone of white when we ordered our window, so that can;t be helped. However, the bar counter is actually even more purplish in daytime than it shows in this pic. We were quite disappointed as it wasn't the white color we wanted at all. Really goes to show that buying from taobao can be hits & misses. I am now in the midst of rectifying this. I have used up 1 can of white spray paint on it & still not enough to turn it white, can still see patches of purple everywhere. So I have painted on it 2 layers of matte white base coat, it is looking much whiter now. I will try spray-painting it again once time permits. Hopefully I can turn it into the white counter that we wanted.

Playing around with the decor arrangement at my cabinet below the window. Looks like it is designated as a beauty counter now with all my kitty perfumes, handcream, lip balms & jaccessories placed there. Finally brought my princess home! A wedding gift from my hubby. Isn't she gorgeous? Simple breakfast made by hubby with the toaster he bought. Now I can have all the toast I want!
