    Hi dexufto,

    I don't have a measuring tape at home, but the approx measurements are:

    175cm (H) x 50cm (D) x 95cm (W). Pinkhubby says it was $579, on offer.

    The measurements 320mm x 230mm are for the showerhead. My heater is a 20L Ariston, I think. Haven't heard from samgalz yet about the curtain contact... hopefully soon bah! Otherwise my neighbours will get treated to 'free show'... :S

    My contractor is Edmund from DX Interior. When I'm a bit less lazy, I'll post my review up. ;)

    Sorry that this a little late,happy-hand over.. lots of unpacking and buying to do liaoz?

    May I please check with you where you purchase your nice glass display case for your toy?

    can share the dimension and price if possible?

    thankq thankq.

    I remember we got it from V.Hive, though the exact amount eludes me right now; Pinkhubby will know though, because it was bought for his stuff primarily. I'll go check on the dimensions and get back to you soon! But do note that we got it in 2007, so the price might have changed (though I would think it would have changed downwards)

    So envious that your rainshower is working nicely..

    I'm begining to be concern that my rainshower' not going to shower.. but going to trickle. :bangwall:

    Hey, don't worry about that! I'm sure it'll be nice and powerful; you're using a storage heater, am I right? Perhaps you can get your contractor/ID to do a water pressure test, and if you haven't bought the rainshower head, he/she can suggest one that would be suitable for the water pressure in your house. For mine, Edmund (yes, I'm posting up his name now, because I'm going to put up the review soon) recommended getting one that wasn't too big, and he showed us the approximate size it ought to be. Mine is about 320mm x 230mm, if I'm not wrong, so something around that size might be good to bear in mind. Have faith!

    Oh, did you settle on any company to get your wiw curtain? I had in mind for thing as well.

    I haven't gotten a curtain lobang yet :( but I was thinking of using the one that samgalz used in her house. Mr Chew, I think? When do you need the contact by?

    left it at the old place. no other choices. lol :s

    Sian 1/2...

    everything is looking good! gotta agree the orange backing is nice :good:

    btw, we also had our mattress on the floor when we moved. reason being the bed frame couldn't fit into the lift at our old place. so instead of paying them for each level to move down and up, we decided to get a new bed frame. lol

    Wahahaha! So what happened to the other bedframe??

  12. Posted

    This offer is on at least for 2010 :) only found out when we happened to there 2 months back on a Tuesday... we also didn't know for the past 9 months of 2010 though we frequent Ikea so much! :bangwall:

    Gah!!! Okay, looks like a 'shopping' trip to IKEA is in order tomorrow ;)

    Yo... the Orange backsplash and the turtoise wall are really lovely! Great choice of colour~! :good:

    Thanks! Pinkhubby will be pleased to hear that, too, because he chose the wall colour for the study!

    LOL that's why we always like to visit Ikea on Tuesdays - Meatball Day - $4 only :lol:

    You're kidding!!!!!! Crap... how come I go IKEA so often and I didn't know this... :(

    Hey Yuene! Long time no hear. Aww, don't feel bad about the plant. It's in plant heaven now. :) Haha.. President of the Brown Thumbs Club... kinda has a nice ring huh? Titan suggested growing our own herbs instead of getting random plants for our balcony... err... maybe I should let him do the herb tending. :rofl:

    Yup, it's in plant heaven now... I only hope the little thing has forgiven me...

    Growing your own herbs sounds like a great idea! My mum grows her own basil, oregano and other plants. Very fun to harvest what you grow and put it in your cooking! If you'd like some oregano seeds, let me know and I'll grab some!

    LOL. She doesn't want her own, she wants yours! My in-law's schnauzer is sure going to miss having kitties to chase. Hahaa.

    Bleah, I'll thank her to keep her 'paws' off my kittens! But I think it's a matter of the inevitable... she's obviously eyeing my Cece.

    Oooh.. check out the new cat tree I bought for them. Hee hee

    CATTRE1.jpg

    Hopefully Fifi, my British Shothair will use that little cat appartment (with the round hole) to hide in - she used to run and hide in our TV console whenver the door bell rang!

    OOOOOOOH pretty!!!!!! :wub: Your kitties are so lucky! Did you get that from Pet Lovers' Centre?

    Hee hee.. Thanks. Not exactly walk-in.. it's just wall to wall. But I love it. :wub:

    More than good enough! So luxurious...

    ONE MORE DAY TO GO!!!!

    To HO? Woot!

    Hey babe!

    congrats to you !

    love your WIW and kitchen cabinet :D

    Thanks reglxt! I see your reno is progressing well too! When's your projected HO?

    Congrats with the hand over. Your kitchen is very nice, particularly the orange backlash. It goes very well with yr white cabinets. Your toilet glass door is very interesting too. How much did you pay for the glass door?

    Hi edward,

    Thanks! I took a big gamble with the orange backsplash, because the rest of my house is... well... quite white! I was actually toying with going with the usual greenish-tinted glass, but decided to take the plunge after (in a small voice) I thought that the house would look too terribly boring... Glad the gamble paid off :)

    My glass door was $480 (not very cheap, I think... but I'll live with it)

    woah nice! i like the clear glass toilet door...haha...

    oh and my wife will love the "grill-less" windows! :)

    oh i hope u know that u can actually call ikea to check for stock availability?

    or u just wanna find excuses to go to ikea? :P

    Yup, I know. But anything for a trip to eat meatballs. On Pinkhubby's dime. ;P

    so it's $1 hotdog lunch everytime u visit ikea :D :D :D

    wah, salsa dancing queen wor.... :)

    Haha! I don't mind, I love the IKEA hotdogs...just that bread makes me very sleepy.... And gosh, I'm so glad that my performance is over! The weekend was completely tiring, because we spent so much time attending workshops and dancing until 2am for 3 days straight... OUCH! But then again, this may not be the end of it all, because we're discussing taking this to the Hong Kong Salsa Festival next!

    MBR...

    bed.jpg

    No, the bedframe isn't in yet. There's a VERY long story behind this. You see, I'd set my sights on an IKEA bedframe with storage underneath. I love it because it just goes perfectly with the whole colour scheme, but when I'd wanted to buy it in July, it was OOS. So I asked when it would come in. They said shipment arrives in early September. *sian* so I wait until mid-October and when I get there?

    It's SOLD OUT. AGAIN. Next shipment?

    January 2011. SIAN.

    So being the stubborn cow that I am, I will just wait until January 2011 for my bedframe and I swear to god, when January rolls around I'm going to stalk IKEA every friggin weekend.

    photo5.jpg

    My walk-in wardrobe! I love love love it. I will be installing nice velvet curtains so that I can divide it from the rest of the bedroom.

    shower1.jpg

    And lastly, the rainshower with my toiletries holder up. I have a really silly story to share about my rainshower (or rather, my heater). You see, when I first took a shower with it, I switched on the heater, waited 15 minutes and then turned it on. I nearly jumped out of the water because it was soooooo cold!!!! I kept trying to adjust the thing, but the water seemed to be on two levels: cold, and slightly less cold. This went on for 2 separate showers, until I smsed my (very long-suffering) contractor that the heater was not working! After a bunch of frantic smses back and forth, he says he'll come down and look into the problem.

    Two days ago, I popped by my place again, and took yet another cold shower. Suddenly, it hit me--is the switch on the heater ON???? With trepidation, I climbed up to the heater...it was pointed at OFF. So I switched it on, and sheepishly smsed my contractor that the heater problem was solved... I didn't tell him what the real problem was because I'm absolutely certain he would NEVER let me live it down...

    Oh yes, for those who are wondering, the rainshower is working just fine (very nice and rain-like!), and the heater is good too. No need to wait 15 minutes to heat up quickly, I just switch it on for 5 minutes, and it's ready to go. :)

    And oh yes, the other thing that was keeping me very busy:

    My performance is over!!!!!

    Day god-only-knows-what: occupants needed

    So...

    For those who were wondering, the handover WAS on time! Yes, that, alongside training, was what was keeping me from coming online. All the shifting in, etc... my house is steadily becoming messier, and I'm longing for the days where there was absolutely NOTHING in the house! But too bad, unless I one day have so much money that I can buy a huge house where I can keep most rooms empty (hey, one can always dream)... in the meantime, my house will just have to serve its function as the place where Pinkhubby and I keep all our stuff.

    Pardon the messiness, we are still unpacking...

    Let's start with the foyer

    Foyerwcabinetandseating.jpg

    The shoe cabinet is in. We put it in the corner there because 1) behind the door, it keeps getting whacked. I don't want to cause a dent on my new things so soon! The seating bench next to it is actually one of our old pieces of furniture from IKEA. It served as our old TV/PC bench when the PC was still outside. Since it was too good to throw away, we saved it with this in mind.

    dining-1.jpg

    Dining table is in too! We're going to purchase a matching piano-white seating bench for the times when we have guests over.

    Kitchcomplete.jpg

    Kitchen with the orange backsplash. Yes, the gas cylinder issue has been rectified, along with the pull-out basket.

    On to the study...

    studytablealreadymessy.jpg

    This is Pinkhubby's room (at least for now). Needless to say, it's already messy. We're going to get one more item from IKEA here, which is a white cabinet above. I'm very mindful of overloading that shelf. And that is HIS pink netbook there.

    studywdisplay.jpg

    The other side of the room holds his display cabinet, with his toys inside. The second shelf is filled with my collectibles.

    everything looking good :)

    Thanks alamak!

    paulchng, dexufto, reizzz: Yes, in fact, handover was on time, 6 November 2010! We got the movers to shift in everything on that date too, so the house was suddenly full of random people.

  22. Posted

    Hee hee. Thanks Yuene. In my defense I must say the cactus was placed away from the window, where it got ZERO sunlight. What kind of plant was it Yuene?

    @reizz - your wife is not alone!!! We should start a Cacti-Killers Anonymous club. Hmmm or a Brown Thumbs Club. Yuene & I will be the first 2 members.

    I don't know, it was this random cute flat round-leafed plant I bought from IKEA... I had big dreams of growing it into a sprawling planter... but the poor thing... /sniffles

    You be the president and I will be your vice-president okay? Then reizzz's wife can be the Hon Gen Sec....

    Hmm.. my poor cats are going to be so traumatised. They're just getting used to my in-law's place. Haha. MEOW.

    So are mine! My mum has gone one up by suggesting that I leave one or two behind. I told her to 'go get your own'

    Your walk-in wardrobe is lovely, btw!

  24. Posted

    haha, this is a very common lockset.... my contractor told me cannot be duplicated, so the supplier give 8 keys just in case all seven keys are lost.... haaha

    Oooh okay! Haha... I'm totally clueless about such things one...

  25. Posted

    did the contractor pass u 8 keys for this gate?

    *counts* yes, 8 keys. How'd you know?

    uhh...how come use screws..? like that can unscrew your lock...?

    Hmmm, didn't think of that, though I'll be using a padlock above...let me go try and I'll get back on this...
