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 before

Very 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.

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 problematic

My 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 it

The bed-frame will be flush against the wall and I will use Ikea Ribba shelves which are of perfect depth

Between the bed head board and the wall. Try to save a few hundred bucks here. heh

This same problem is found in the living room wall but decided to go ahead with false wall there though

Hope 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

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?

Pleasure 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/). I like the stuff there and surprisingly, the prices quoted were prety reasonable.

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?

You are right! I just visited them. Very good price. Tempted to get the one with storage.

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)

the other room I left it as it is and will fill the wall space with this IKEA hack, hopefully in a few weeks time!

Thats a cute hack, Sarah. The painting bit looks a bit tricky!

Hi Greg,

I am bribing a friend to carry out the execution! He read the cute assembly instruction and said its easy!

Hi greglhc,

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.

Ya hommage has all the dining chairs bryght has! But I think hommage slightly cheaper

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 1.2mm

Kitchen mixer to go along with sink

Sink for toilet. It was only 55 bucks excl shipping. Don't think it's kohler though lol

Stainless 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

Tolix chairs for dining area. Distressed black. Very common in cafes/F&B places now.

Caged light bulbs. It was really cheap. Could not say no.

A rather whimsical caged light bulb. Might not go with my theme exactly but planning to suspend over the bedside table.

Will post reviews of these items once I unbox them next week!
