Abolished the idea of fabricating a customized wine display cabinet by ID. Instead we bought 3 x LACK shelves from Ikea :sport-smiley-018:

Bought these shelves for our storeroom (from Jinyu Trading @ Geylang)

Sure, will provide feedback once the wallpapers are received.

Wallpaper from Taobao

http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=14054052100 (selected 60307 Silver)

http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=14639908691&ali_trackid=2:mm_14507416_2297358_8935934,0:1337741760_3k2_334835614 (selected LP1608 Black)

As for the pasting, our ID has lobang to get the contractor to work freelance/part-time for him, just pay him abit of $$$ but cheaper than shops selling wallpapers and charging a minimum of $300 for the same service.

Nice reno! :yamseng:

Just 1 silly question... how to change language in taobao.com to english? Or it is not possible to do so?

Hmm, not that I know of. We are accessing the website in Chinese. But you can search using English word and they will find the items in Chinese for you, e.g. carpet, wallpaper, etc.

Alternatively, use Google to translate the items (English to Chinese) you want to find then copy and paste into Taobao.

Hope this helps! :yamseng:
