beejeebee 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2013 No la only the feature wall is grey mah...bed sheet colour is decided by u ... U can choose white mah. If got natural light into the room then u don't find it dark. When Reno starts?Besides the feature wall, the platform bed and back of the wardrobe are grey too! Ya I was thinking of keeping the permanent fixtures to 2 colors (white and grey) so that it will be easier to buy bed sheets..Reno starts when we get the key!!! Hopefully get key in April, though we heard whispers saying it will be June.Arms crossed, fingers crossed, toes crossed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragonnite 2 Report post Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) white sofa - my advice is dun do it cos the maintenance will really kill ya my experience with light coloured fabric sofas only tho, but at least that's washable and at worst, replaceable... feature wall base colour is grey is fine, grey is very neutral and as long as you opt for different shades, it won't be boring... the wall itself the material - as long as it's a laminate with some interesting colour or design e.g. marble like ? Or no need to be even laminate - painting/wallpaper/tile ? stupid question tho - why u need that shelf above the tv ? u got stuff to put there ah ? right now looks funny cos it looks like a visor for ur tv can consider splitting into 2 and the 2 shelves at different levels or something ...

Maybe will go with other light colors but not white. How about light grey? (yes grey again )Oh, the feature wall is fabricated using gypsum board, not carpentry, to cut cost. So cannot use laminate. Can only use paint or wallpaper.Yup the shelf is to put players. Looks a bit weird right? But it cannot be under the tv cos will affect the walking space.Hmm breaking the shelf into 2 might work.. At least wont look like a tongue sticking out right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beejeebee 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 After researching on Taobao for weeks, I decided to plunge in and make my first purchase! Thought of sharing this though not house related One of the things I bought and am super happy to find it:可调节式喷壶 气压式喷雾器喷水壶 出口欧美洒水壶浇花喷壶5LThis is for my mum and not available in Singapore as far as I know. Ok a short funny story on this.We first saw it in an orchid nursery. Mum liked it so I asked the boss is it for sale.Boss : Not for sale.Me : Where can I buy it then?Boss : I dunno. We got it from Thailand.Me : Where can I find it in Thailand? (considering I was going to Bangkok the following week)Boss : Shops that sell this lor. If you see it, that means they got sell. :bangwall: :bangwall: :bangwall: :bangwall: Anyway, eventually I found it in chatuchak at around $15sgd for one.Till now, I haven't been able to find this anywhere else except for chatuchak. Every time I go bangkok, I have a lug a couple of this back for mum. So I'm super duper happy when I found it on Taobao! Hope it works as well as it looks! To the gardeners out there, my mum swears by this type of pressure spray as it is user friendly, practical, has adequate pressure and has a good spray which covers areas well. At least for the one I got for her in chatukchak. Will update again once this reaches me. Or rather, her! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
