Ya, living room only night curtain... the current owner don't even have any curtains for living room, so we think night curtains will be enough. Total is around 1.9k including GST. MBR day curtain is organza that's why more expensive.

Costs $480 from Huafu Furniture including the stool. It is a place that sells country furniture in Tan Boon Liat Building (Outram Road). Ikea has something similar and comes with a glass top which you can also consider.

mm.... roller blinds should be cheaper than day and night curtains.

but roller blinds depends on how many panels you need. For me, my cozy corner is like a bit of Bay Window... looks something like the below.... so actually need 4 panels. In general, HDB room just need 2 panels.

Thanks thanks. Don't know why but my ID's workers very messy compared to most of the people I see in the forum. Everything throw here throw there cardboards, laminates, wood pieces and other debris everywhere. So very hard to take pictures :( Guess just have to wait for the final product.

Kitchen... ya, we love the kitchen, waiting for the white solid top to come in. Had to sacrifice a room to make the kitchen big but we take comfort that we are putting the dining room in there. Its like some people who like walk in wardrobes and sacrifice an additional area for it. :)

We actually have a lot of drawers in the kitchen... carpenter keep complaining that very expensive, cannot make money. Ours is not soft closing one unlike the ones that you guys get from Uncle Soon.

Very very nice kitchen! Love the space u have there. Great idea to extend ur kitchen. :)

Black mosaic tiles for kitchen backing is up... initially ID wanted white grouting say nicer... but think maintenance will faint... so used black grout instead.... we also use countertop lighting.
