Am very interested on how you fitted the WIW in it.Thank you!See below for the changes made to fit in the WIW for our MBR The downside is the reduced space for the bed area with 1 feet width along the sides, although small but cozy....within 1 arm reach to the bay window and wall mount TV We bought a string curtain from Gmarket to act as the door entrance to the WIW; cost is only S$16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The setting up of the glass shower screen requires the building of the shower kerb, thus did not explicitly mention that.Good point mentioned for the benefits of the rest Edited May 24, 2012 by Mummy Ling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
