Hi Hippo,

Nice house you have there, care to share with me your ID and quotation? And also your living room fan, nice. Whats the model and where you got it? the price?. If possible hope you can email me back at kenlim_76@hotmail.com. Really appreciate that.

Hi Kenlim_76,

Thanks..

Will email u my ID contact ...

The fan is an alpha 56" fan.... we got it from the shop beside Alighting in geylang ... I think the shop is national something.. we actually wanted black colour but black nil stock so we go with the bronze colour... the blades are acrylic blades this is one of the newer models ... the center motor head is like a round ball ... got it as we thought this is not so common and round is nice...

haha...ya strange...feel like a piece is gone...

Wow! I really like your toilets! Esp the colourful strip of mosaics in your MBR area!

I was contemplating having the same basin as your common toilet but couldn't in the end as it was too big for my area. Nice reno! :good:

hi there, very nice and cosy house you have there, able to share with me how much you spent for the reno, not inclusive of the accessories and furnishing. Thanks for the contacts too.

Hi Ken,

Thanks..

Total reno cost is 46k, this includes electrical works.

Aircon + toilet assessories + furnishing not included...

WHOA your house is really nice. I like the overall white/brown cosy/modernish theme... nice. That ledge at the foyer is nice and useful too! :) And I agree about the toilets... love the tiles you chose

Thanks Pinkpetter!!! - the legendary brainybimbo hee hee..

we din have any theme at first but becos our existing sofa (the one in the pic) was brown in colour so we thought why not do something earthy and simple theme... and we ended up loving this ... the earthy colours are indeed very soothing to the eyes ...

the only thing that we thought we should have done better is the foyer area.. cos without switching on the light at that area, it can get pretty dimly lit ... the ledge at the foyer was a last minute addition cos our FSM says becos of the lighting we needed to put any mirror and the 3 statues of FU LU SHOU ... and we ended up with 1 big piece of half height black mirror and the ledge...
