Hi SAM

Means the drilling of curtain rod under the bean will be a not be straight due to the curve line in the living room?

I might go down to ikea this afternoon to take a look at the rod.

HAPPY

This is just a cheaper alternative... may not look good to some people.

ermm... after putting in the screw, i tried with the rod on and secure the screw only when the rod fit in. So, the rod is still straight against the curve of the underbeam if u look from bottom up.

not sure u got wat i mean? if u wanna c, let me know but probably can only do it on comin sat, unless its weekday nite (afterwork), which i only have Fri available.

if u buy the ikea rod, buy the longest one with the extension part, all completed in 1 set..

While waiting for the lighting delivery and gas pipe installation, i saw some men at work at Blk 27A.

It is interesting to know thats how they got the Brick-look on the floor, thot its a design on the tiles.

After the cement screeding, the uncle coat the cement with some brown clay powder and use the mold to imprint on the floor, stepping on it to get the design cut into the cement.. Never knew its such hard work.. nxt time when walk on the pavement, must appreciate more.

The hall curtain has been a big headache.. happy to know that we really manage to get it done with Ikea rods! Hurray.. thats a big piece off my mum's mind.

Modified Ikea hooks

our flat beam (near living room) is curve (rounded), we can use the ikea rod for the curtain? if can, i will go get it. how much is that?

btw, are you using the softclosing hinges & drawers rollers from ikea? how much is that? i was thinking to opt to use that if ID can't get me the blum system.

I am also worried about the curve line.. that's why havent get the curtain yet.. coz undecided whether to DIY or get others to install which cost more of coz

It's been a really long and tiring process - renovation work.

Finally i'm beginning to see it taking forms.

Fold door is up, not 100% satisfied (little flaws here and there), but still, heng arh... it turns out presentable, normal.. like how a door suppose to look i think i'm a bit paranoid over the reno.. haha.

The wardrobes are up. (MBR looks ok, but too bad, they made a mistake on the laminate for my room, doors are torn down for replacement.)

MBR - with a 3rd door (mirror)

My kitchen cabinet is up as well.. laminate looks nice.. like i say, small flaws here n there.

ID was fast in getting the solid top installed, within 2-3 days of installing the cabinet. BUT he made a blunder in the design of the solid top, which turns out not to be what we want - something which my mum has been emphasizing.. so, now, pending to resolve it. Accept it as it is? NO WAY.. Change the solid top? then the ID surely will make a big time lost..

no conclusion yet.

Really innovative with that folding door feature, makes the other room look like a "hidden room" or also a balcony. The solid top having error? Gosh, hope they can rectify without any extra charges.

Hi SAM

Notice your kitchen is using glossy white lamainated? You really fully make use of all the kitchen space, err...where is your washing machine?

Very nice and bright!

Your fold door looks great. You intend to open it everyday?

Wow...cant wait to see how it looks like when your new sofa, tv, etc..all move in.

Cheers!

Sorry for the late reply.. been too busy.

Nope, its from Hafary. I think Hafary's aftrsales service is not bad, at least when they realise warping due to tiles, they admit n change new tiles.
