asugama 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 hmmmm according to fengshui, do not sit under the beam. Yeah, we heard about it also.. But no other place to put the dining table anymore . So we try to arrange the dining table to such a way that we are not sitting right below the beam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adrian_john 1 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 Looks like very little space to maneouver around for the dining table. Agreed with BinBin, it may make your living area slightly more cramped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

asugama 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2009 How did the discussion go? Yesterday we managed to meet up with both Asoon and Jason.. We have the feeling of striking 4D consolidation prize... haha... We did some measurements, and we think that it's actually alright with the current arrangement. But 1 sad news, Jason said that our ceiling is too low (only 2.47m) so cannot do false ceiling This is a major blow even before the renovation starts.. we think it's not so nice without false ceiling.... Jason recommended to use L-box instead... but not sure how to design the L-box now.. We suspect that the previous owner did overlay for the living room and kitchen... Haiizz... We can only know after we hack the living and kitchen floor tiles... So, if it's overlay then we can still do the false ceiling... But Asoon has to do double work to hack 2 layers of tiles So finger crossed... Then for the tiles we need to top up additional 200 dols for 1 side of the wall using the expensive tiles... Asoon said need to top up, we also don't want to bargain too much because there're definitely more things to add on as the renovation progress... And hope that Asoon can give us better price... Before they left, Jason left us 2 laminate catalog for us to choose for the carpentry: lamiTak and edl... We heard people said lamiTak is better, but we found it has very limited choice, edl has more design and the pattern is nicer also... So most probably we will use edl instead of lamiTak... Then today we went to look for curtain, as the previous owner left us 2 sets of curtains for living and bedroom 2 and 3, so we only need to 1 roman blind for master room and 1 string curtain at the study corner... But we was setback by the high quotation S$570.00 for the roman blind (1.9mx1.5m) and S$190 for the string curtain (3.2m) including the installation.. So, if anyone knows where to get cheaper curtain, please PM me.. Cheers.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ivy 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2009 yeah!!!! glad to hear that you will be using the expensive tile and the top up is only 200! give it give it!! it's worth it! I tried to "con" Ah soon into not topping up and he goes :" cannot lahhhhhhhhhh..." hahaha but he's yet to tell me how much to top up.. pretty anxious to know how much more I'll incur...

Mine are roller blinds.. for all the bedrooms. Jimmy Textiles at Tanjong Katong Complex along Geylang Serai. Opposite the ultra famous hawker centre of recent. MMMmmM $100 per panel of 1.5m X 1.5m. I needed 2 panels for each set of windows. If you're referring to the string curtains I got them from another shop 3 doors away from Jimmy for $30+. Jimmy was selling them for $48.
