Comparison to the new window:

Here is the close up of the handle

Today the ceiling fan for the second and third bedroom are up:

I think it blends pretty well, doesn't look too modern or too glossy. A bit colonial with the black color against the white ceiling

I asked the contractor to put some glass on the louvre window, so when the aircon on, the cold air doesn't escape everywhere.

So they come up with this:

I think it is quite a good idea as I can unscrew it once a year to clean the inside part of the glass and the louvre.

the color is also quite nice, dark brown against white. The painting of window frame has not finished yet.

They are installing glass sliding door for our laundry room:

My 60 years old parquet floor . They turn paler today.

I went to Hafele today to buy wardrobe lift

and found quite a few interesting things in their showroom:

This is a bifold, sliding folding pocket door..... impressive... but expensive. About $3k if I didn't heard wrong

Hafele also have this: '

I want to have this, but they said need to order from Germany, about 3-4 weeks

They also have sliding bookcase :

They have some wall bed and hidden wall bed too:

and some interesting LED lights for inside cabinet, this one can slide!

The double glazed window is quite expensive, for those in the photo I paid $2300. But it is much bigger than average window (my ceiling height 7 feet) and mine is on curvy place, so installation is more difficult. My window total width is about 10 feet. It definitely cut a lot of noise, but not 100 percent. Yes it need HDB approval. I'll pm you my contractor no.

Can PM me the window contact too? TIA.

Please PM me the window contact too. Thanks!

PM-ed the contact no to you.

Today they are polishing the 60 years old terrazzo floor

It is still in the process. Funny thing is they use Cif to clean up the corner!
