pingpongteam

another big chunk of our time were spent on lights hunting.

and this forum we found places that are quietly hidden in the neighbourhood w the lights that could fit our theme.

i will let the pics do the talking.

cage light for the corridor:

cage light with glass cover for the bathrooms:

black and white cables used for these lights:

light for bomb shelter:

kitchen light:

we also went around search for more lights at different shops, ended up buying from 3 different shops and also got the main living room light from bali.

more pics to follow.

cheers

Daiso sells chalks and duster

Mine is a real chalkboard and I find it easier to just use a wet cloth to clean up the chalkboard.

Hahha.. that seems to be my most-used phrase on renotalk nowadays.

and this is why sarah is the no 1 treasure hunter in all of RT but in all fairness - vanessa is a very worthy contender to this throne!

oldskool, congrats on the upgraded ping pong team!

hey beng i got them from hock eng hin at tiong bahru. just across the market. the opening mechanism is pretty old school, and the cage is metal not plastic. if my memory serves me right its abt 20 odd dollars, i can check again the receipt and let you know.

Hi hi Oldskool

I am also a big vintage fan (but unfortunately my wife doesnt really share my love for all things vintage...) [hope she is not reading this haha]

May i know where you got the replica ph5 light, and the ping pong bowls and spoons please?

Maybe you can PM me at stilldelving@yahoo.com.sg

Thanks!

I agree - Vanessa's ability to suss out the good deals on taobao are even more amazing, bearing in mind the fact that she doesn't know how to read chinese

i just tried to help you hunt as well and you're not kidding!

I've tried '发夹椅腿' and got loads of hairpins, scrunchies and hair pieces

I then tried ‘椅腿DIY' and got loads of chair legs, but after scrolling for so many pages, still can't find anything that looks like the hairpin legs in the article you quoted

Have tried several other permutations as well and I'm throwing in the towel.

The closest that I got was http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.8.XTEamR&id=13522691943

but the shape and color are both wrong

I've been trying to search for hairpin legs on tb too! Might resort to just buying from US. It's nearly S$300 for 4 legs including shipping though.
