Nice wiw! Is it from osph?

Sorry, what is osph? we got it from design closet along balestier road.

Share the pics when it's up! We were worried initially too but it turned out alright! :)

Hi secretgarden, K (Kevin) is a contractor. You can contact him at 90222321. Won't be sharing the quote since different requirements and materials used will result in a different quote, but we spent approx. 30k with K (excluding our WIW closet).

Hi YTMO, I've got my t-blog set up, and will be posting pics soon. Stay tuned ya.

Btw and I'm no longer surprised, we are also using Design Closet for our wiw! Did you go with Luke? His service has been pretty good thus far.

We are also getting the ICOL fan from Chan Huat :good: - love the matte look of it, and apparently it generates quite a bit of air because of the design of its blades. Do you find this to be the case with your fan?

The living room is now complete with the TV and coffee table! So relieved all the furnishing we cherry picked gel together fairly well.

Can barely contain my excitement for the walk-in closet to be installed next Sat!

Strangely, we have yet to get our bed frame cos nothing we sort of fancy (YET) so we're gonna take our time on that.

hello may i know where did you get the coffee table and how much does it costs?

And also how much is your TV console too? Thanks in advance!! :D

what type of kitchen top are you using? Met up with K today.. Mentioned that I want a quartz top and he highly recommended Caesarstone to me but I understand that it's costly though.. :dunno:

We used the brand Hanstone for our quartz tabletop. So far so good! :D

We went with Design closet as I had 2 friends who used them as well. And yes, we were serviced by Luke but do book your installations with them early as we had to wait 2 weeks for ours after confirmation of the drawings. The installations were done by 2 Bangladesh workers in which 1 of them can speak mandarin lol!

Console's from Helping hands located at Kovan (you can google their address!). They sell all sort of teak furniture made by ex-convicts. We paid abt $700 for it. Very value for money and meaningful purchase ! :)

Hi AnW, I'm not sure what's the exact material for the top, solid top in general. We used granite for our toilet though. Perhaps you can show K my house photo and he should be able to tell you :)

Hi EMinlove, thank you for your kind words. Fan's from Crestar (from Chan Huat, Balestier). Track lights from Philips Lightings. Blinds from Fabulous curtains (also located along Balestier) at about 1.2k (living room + 3 bedrooms). Hope that helps! :D

Haha, oops I made a typo error, I meant opsh. Another company doing wiw!

Very nice. Workmanship is more important then pricing I personally think so
