bleucheeze 1 Report post Posted December 5, 2012 I got my sideboard customized in oak wood, as my dining and sideboard was oak.. =pYes! I love 3M, they must have earned so much $$ from us..and amazingly those things stay for years unlike other brands..we used the Velcro ones..so u can actually take the frames down to change photos wo damaging it..My coffee table is teak, already bought it. Just nice, match the teak TV console I am eyeing! Do you find your tiles a bit on the yellowish brown side? I will be getting wood-like tiles also, but not sure what colour tone to get yet.

originalbread 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2012 Home now looks like this:the sideboard from Lorgan's finally came after 2.5 months..the papa bear chair and smile coffee table will arrive this week.. our bed will also arrive this weekend! the 3ft mini xmas tree we got for our bay-window..doesn't take up extra space and keeps our dog from getting into trouble..the bed we chose..we changed the fabric..hopefully it goes well with the room.. Nice! I like the first shot, looks so cozy. and lovely tv console too, it looks like a lighter shade than the usual ones I see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you find your tiles a bit on the yellowish brown side? I will be getting wood-like tiles also, but not sure what colour tone to get yet.hmm i like it 'blond'..i don't like red (may look old) nor pale tones (look cold) and find yellowish brown more cosy..all along my idea of scandinavian style was 'blond' wood with white walls with colorful deco, pencil legs furniture..go visit some showrooms, soon bee huat and hafary has quite a good collection..for me, the choice was obvious.. Hi itsybitsDo you know if for plastered walls of old houses, ok to use 3m?

I would personally prefer to drill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would personally prefer to drill.i have plastered walls and i use 3M Command Picture hanging strips. I have taken down some of my pictures before. It doesn't make the wall come off together nor the paint. Everything still intact..... The right wall in this pictures shows the amount of pictures i had... and i took down 3 of it before and then hang them up again (due to mediacorp shooting). No problem at all!

northernlight23 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2012 Hi Itsybits, My boyfriend and I really love your flat and your cute dachshund! The xmas tree really made your house look extra cosy. We have a dog of our own too and would be renovating our flat next yr. We would really appreciate it if you could give us the contacts of Mr K and the total cost of your renovation.Thank you so much!
