  • Haha no problem. Knowledge is power! Go into your renos prepared! Yeah, the CASE agreement is a bit OTT, but it does what it's supposed to do - protect the consumer Here's what I would insist on at t

    Dulux, Gentle Tide, 90GY 63/047. I super liked it too Thank you mishmish! Will load more pictures soon It's a pouf! Something like a stool, but not as hard or structured as one. The shop had many ma

You got the banker's lamp from Fran Fran also? How much is it? Yesterday after seeing your post on their sale, we fought hard to resist and eventually we succeeded and didn't check it out. There is just no place at both our places now to store stuff for the new house. Now I am kinda regretting it ...

The banker's lamp and sofa are gorgeous! What's in your study apart from the study table? I think the sofa would go well with it.

After Chinese New Year :) it's almost complete, but there's rectification and the workers are all going off for CNY, so I guess we'll get our keys after CNY!

Your renovation is looking good and going fast too!

The banker's lamp is $159 (or somewhere around there), we got it for 140+ after discount. Not everything is on sale, but quite a lot of things were. I totally understand what you mean though; the stuff we're getting is filling up my spare room (or rather, my mom's spare room) fast. You can aim for this year's GSS! I'm sure they'll have discounts then too.

The sofa is very posh, but we're not sure if we want our study room to be more posh or more free-style. Think we'll wait till we move in and see everything come together before getting more pieces to fill up the spaces :)

Yes will be working very hard this GSS :D right now it is not easy to resist and also I think I am suffering some burnout from daily research LOL. It's like we are almost there but still not there yet, super sianz!

You would be busy shifting soon? That will be fun!

Our house is done! Haven't gone down to take a look, but our ID has informed us that they are ready to hand the keys to us. Will be going down to take a look during the CNY holiday :D

Will probably move in after CNY.

I totally understand about burnout from research. I kinda gave up after a while because there's just so much to see and so many different looks that I like :P

Hope your turn to start renovations comes soon!

IMG_0829.jpg The cafe curtains are installed slightly higher than what we wanted. ID will have to change that!

Thanks for the smeg pictures! Your house seriously looks gargantuan! Must be all the white and wide angle... Love your nautical hooks and balcony accordion doors! And I see you left your mum's room power box untouched (white PVC).

LOVE your kitchen! Your balcony door looks nice too. Did you use wood-grain laminate or wood veneer on your kitchen cabinet?
