    Hi sapphire89

    just wanna know for your digital lock, 1 you bought from qoo10 and 1 from andigital? 

    if so does andigital out of goodwill help you with the qoo10 lock and how much they charge?

    and lastly, for your metal gate digital lock, the metal gate they need to bring back to weld or something? i understand they need to cover the backside of it.

     

    possible to pm me the contacts and price? for id

    Hi Larry! 

     

    For the digital lock you're right and we did buy one on qoo10 and the other one from AN. We topped up about $100+ for them to install which is similar as to what the independent installer would have charged. 

    All works were done at our home within the hour and the don't need to weld the gate as the lock I bought I made sure that it fit new BTO gates. If your home has an old/custom gate you might need to check if the lock would fit. Also check if the gap between the doors has sufficient leeway to install both. 

    Let me know if you need more info!

    Hey Sapphire89, amazing decor and design ideas!

    I'm currently starting on my own journey as well, was wondering if you could share your ID's work listing and quotation.

    Another kind request would be the taobao link for the chairs you use on your dining table (cause I can't type chinese, couldnt seem to find it online!)

    Thanks!! 

    Hi @Zened88,

    Thanks for visiting the thread and hopefully there's something useful for you here. Unfortunately, the chairs I've got are no longer in stock but you can copy and paste this if it helps you. --> 北欧餐椅 (translates: scandinavian/northern europe dining chairs)

    I've also realised that I haven't truly reviewed my ID but I've had loads of inertia when i seat down trying to pen it down. I will try this weekend but I won't be showing the quotation rather breaking down what we spent on each room...

    Thanks for reading!

    your house looks great sapphire89! could you please share with me the laminate colour u picked for your wardrobe and kitchen carpentry? am considering the same tones. much appreciated!

    Thanks! It's been a year since we've moved in and everything is still working out really well. No issues with the carpentry which it good I think. We're toying around with the idea of doing more works but it's for another day! 

    The carpentry laminates that we chose are on page 7 of the thread and here's a link for you!

    Kitchen 3d second & third draft

    Help! Which combo is nicer? I intend to keep the blue/green backsplash.

    First pic is drafter used wrong code for laminate and it is a brown kitchen.

    Sexond pic is the correct laminate code for a greyish kitchen. 

    Btw, the kitchen tile is as below but id say drafter cant get it to show like tt in 3d.

    So confused.. 

    The brown kitchen looks more cozy to me but it looks abit dated? 

    Grey kitchen looks abit cool/cold to me.. 

    What u guys think? 

     

    Hi there! I think you've got a lovely layout or your house and definitely more budget than me! The cost of the renovation is potentially due to the amount of carpentry for your place and by limiting the amount of carpentry the price comes down. I spent about $28k on my 5 room BTO...

    Love your turquoise backsplash but I'm not so daring! The brown laminates are pretty dated. I suppose what you can do with the grey kitchen to make it more scandi is to brown laminate your trimmings where they show? Though with the backsplash, there might be a clash of colours. If you want a warmer looking kitchen, your cool tone backsplash will unfortunately look out of place. Have a look at my kitchen to see if it helps! :) http://www.renotalk.com/forum/topic/72412-nordic-crush/?page=16

    Feature wall update:

    Got the wall taken down! They managed to save most of the tiles but they will need to order more. 

    So this time we laid everything nicely on the floor and rearranged it. Such a huge relief. This wall will be remembered.

    my mum hates it, says it 'looks messy' but I told her it's supposed to be the jungle...

    Oh yay! love how it looks! Can't wait to see your final pics!

    @sapphire89 waah very honoured! thanks thanks...but OMG!  I really thought I was going crazy!

    It's not an easy job to redo and the tiles were ahem not welly cheap so it's not just a matter of tearing down and re-doing

    grrr

    Oh that's so depressing. I hope you can get it fixed! The colours on it are so pretty and vibrant!

    Your bookcase! Your books all so uniform haha! Is it custom or ?

     

    Also, how sturdy is your bartop using just the kompacplus?

    My bookcase is from the HEMNES series in IKEA... It's not perfect fit in that corner there's still a space but then there is a switch on that wall so it's good that it doesn't cover that up making it useless too...

    The kompacplus is pretty sturdy... I've tried like really leaning my weight on it while eating so I think it's quite good...

    Thanks, I suppose there a manual key override? In case the remote dont work. You are not trapped inside.

     

    Yup from the inside you're able to manually override with a key... The keyhole is covered up so you cannot override from the outside. Outside you can use a battery to charge it up for one use if you run out of batt.

    before I saw your concept, i did a sketch for mine.... you see the green color lines are the walkin wardrobe .. now is to add a door for the walkin or do just the sliding door the wardrobe and do away the door into the wardrobe...

    thanks for tip.... for me just one person so no one fight with me for the space.... lol:P

    Oh wow! that means get more space in the room! Cause ours if like a double wardrobe so it is pretty wide. You could still make it 2 sided though if you want! 

    I think you can skip the door for the walk-in wardrobe as I find it will get a little stuffy in that corner as the air conditioning doesn't face that corner and can't get it to cool down that easily.

    Forgot to ask a question earlier, How do you open the gate from inside?

    There's a remote for us to push the button to open the lock. We leave it on our shoe cabinet but there's a holder for you to install on the wall.

    looks so cool.....  I like the idea of double sided access wardrobe-always see it feature at hotel . how is it functioning? is  it practical in real life?

    Our double-sided wardrobe has so much space I can go buy more clothes.. Good thing about it is that the hubz gets as much closet space as I do which means if I ever run out I'll just infringe on his space! It's also good for couples where one partner wakes up later than the other as the light from one side will not spill over to the sleeping area.

    There are also cons to it though...

    It divides the room down so it makes the room smaller than it already is and I can't stand back very far from my side to admire my entire collection. My "walk in" area is about slightly less than 1m wide. Apparently there are people that wanted to try this method but their rooms were not long enough as well.

    Your kitchen is gorgeous! What are the dimensions for your island?

    Hihi! The island is 2m by 1m by 1m but is lifted up higher due to the cement base we did. Lucky we're tall or else it will really be too high for us. It's made to take into account the high bar stools we were planning on using...

    images not showing properly

    My next batch of TB items have arrive and I'm amazed by the quality. They've not cheap but by Singapore standards they'd be more expensive if bought in stores here. 

    First! My digital peephole with doorbell~ We tested this over the weekend and works like a charm... We had a small problem with the installation cause the screws they gave were all too long for my door. New doors are not thick so I had to hunt in a neighbourhood hardware store to find the right screws for installation. Love it though. It has a do not disturb function which turns off the doorbell in the night (manually set before you sleep though) and also the best feature is that it has a motion sensor function and records like people loitering outside the house.

    IMG_6435_zpsmq6agiim.jpgI've bought like 3 of these tissue boxes and they look amazing with the decor. My side table here and study table have grains that match~

    IMG_6424_zpsoqo8i046.jpg

    Finally my throws and cushions~ the cushions feel soft to touch... the cable knit ones are my fav.... the colourful ones have a suede feel to it and very comfortable to touch...

    The digital lock from qoo10, is it easily programmable and comes in english?

    Hi koxxic, the lock is a korean local market product so it's in korean but there's nothing on the lock that requires language to operate. They send you an ecopy of the manual in english as well. Very easily programmable and the person that you ask to install can easily teach you how to use it. Hope this helps!
