August 21, 201313 yr Author Hi Choomacher - thanks for dropping by!The bedframe looks nice. I bought a queen bed actually so don't need to fit King size mattress. Is there a page link/address for Hommage? Never been beforeVery nice concepts you have there.Think this bedframe may work for you: Its something that i wanted, but pity its not available in King. You can get this at Hommage.
August 21, 201313 yr False beam up! Under this false beam will be a 3-panel folding aluminium, black anodized. Wanted wire inside the glass but additional weight makes it problematicMy sketch of the bedroom lighting plan sent to contractor on whatsapp Anyone know where to get replacement for this sort of switch?Discovered an unanticipated problem yesterday. There is a portion of the wall which is not flush.Although false wall to hide it is the usual option, I decided to keep itThe bed-frame will be flush against the wall and I will use Ikea Ribba shelves which are of perfect depthBetween the bed head board and the wall. Try to save a few hundred bucks here. hehThis same problem is found in the living room wall but decided to go ahead with false wall there thoughHope it works out!The walls in my MBR and study room are not flushed too but i decided to leave it. I like to have some so-called imperfections in my home, rather than having everything nicely rectified and perfect. But furnishing such walls is a headache
August 21, 201313 yr Author Yeah, its very heng that the ikea ribba picture ledge is the same depth. So can get an extra ledge behind bed frame heh.Do you remember this depth on your wall?The walls in my MBR and study room are not flushed too but i decided to leave it.

August 21, 201313 yr Hi Choomacher - thanks for dropping by!The bedframe looks nice. I bought a queen bed actually so don't need to fit King size mattress. Is there a page link/address for Hommage? Never been beforePleasure is mine!The webbie is below, but the pages there seems a lil dingy.http://www.hommagelifestyle.com/They carry items from Bryght ( http://www.bryght.com/).

August 21, 201313 yr Author U mean the sunken part?" 9.5cm..I plan to paint that inner rim of the sunken park in chalkboard paint and have the black picture ledge. Looks really good in my mind.What did you do with yours?

August 21, 201313 yr Discovered an unanticipated problem yesterday. There is a portion of the wall which is not flush. Although false wall to hide it is the usual option, I decided to keep itThe bed-frame will be flush against the wall and I will use Ikea Ribba shelves which are of perfect depthBetween the bed head board and the wall.

The walls in my MBR and study room are not flushed too but i decided to leave it. I like to have some so-called imperfections in my home, rather than having everything nicely rectified and perfect. But furnishing such walls is a headache June,mine too! Wonder why the architects design a sunk in area in the room and leave the headache to us homeowners?the Scanteak vinkel queensize bedframe I bought can fit into the sunk in area nicely with one end close to the wall but changing bedsheet and the mattress protector will be such a pain. I inititially thought of doing some carpentry work like this to disguise the area but in the end I opted for the much cheaper alternative of boxing it up (and to hide the aircon pipes that ran through the top part of the wall)mbr idea by Sarahbj3b, on Flickrthe other room I left it as it is and will fill the wall space with this IKEA hack, hopefully in a few weeks time!http://www.ikeahackers.net/2013/04/artav-by-atelier-45.html" Edited August 21, 201313 yr by sarah833

G'luck!Ya something like that although I won't use an additional panel to mount since the thickness of the picture frame fits perfectly. Will mount on wall.

August 23, 201313 yr Author Taobao stuff has finally arrived! 3 days earlier than expected. I told them to deliver next week. Bought quite a bit of stuff from taobao, hope the quality is good and no breakages.A sample of some of the items I bought:Kitchen sink, stainless steel, thickness 1.2mmKitchen mixer to go along with sinkSink for toilet. It was only 55 bucks excl shipping. Don't think it's kohler though lolStainless steel floor trap. I regret making this purchase as it arrived too late. Anyone interested in buying from me?Industrial octopus chandelier for living room
