Thanks!

2 coats of primer, allowing to dry between coats. After an hr or so, we started painting and let it dry overnight. The second day we started on our 2nd coat of paint. The whole process wasn't difficult but have to be really patient and thin coats throughout.

Hope it helps! :)

Been sooooo bz! I'm trying to DIY some small curtain for the toilets windows. Our MBR's toilet window is facing my neighbors living room. Wanna do something like this:

Toilet+Curtain+DIY.JPG

It seems so easy from the instructions of Pinterest with using a sewing machine BUT i don't know how to use a sewing machine :dunno: ! My MIL used to be a seamstress, she can easily sew it within minutes i guess, but i don't wanna trouble her :unsure: . I have no choice but to hand sew. I'm still doing the sewing as the fabric was pretty thick and i took such a long time. Will post up pics once it's done!

If it works, i wanna do something like this for the living room.

Roll+Up+Curtain+DIY.JPG

I think for living room, it will take months to complete. LOL. For roll up curtains, u need long enough fabric to be able to roll ;)

Some of the furnitures that we bought:

Mattress from Maxcoil at Posturecare:

Got it when it was on some sales @ $760 0r $780 (can't rem as we bargain and bargain, hehe), U.P. @ $1,299 or something. Managed to get 4 free pillows + 2 mattress protector!

Sofa from Notion Design:

Initially wanted to get chesterfield type of sofa, but it was so expensive in SG. Came across some facebook page, this 3 seater sofa is about $700++ at a strictly no-bargain place. lol

Carpet from Taobao. Living room looked kinda empty with no coffee or side table. Still sourcing for a suitable one and since it was no urgent, we took our time.

Received many PMs about the sofa. Forgotten to share with you guys that the backrest, seat and the side cushion covers can all be removed to wash! They have swatches of fabrics for you to choose too. Notion design do customised headboards as well and you can always add on the ottoman for the sofa if you like =)

Hope it helps! :D

Edmund has very limited options of the door handles for us to choose from as this door cannot have mechanism-kind of handles/lock. He actually suggested me to source from taobao, but I'm too lazy to search and i couldn't wait for the completion of this door! The wall color on the outside is also Granite from ICI =)))

2013-12-28-17-55-46_deco.jpg

Expedit shelving unit from Ikea which i mentioned in my earlier post that i will be using it as an island. Wall color in this room is Latte from ICI, carpet from taobao which i think is overly pink! It looks alright from the picture, but in real life, it is really pinkkkkkk.. :wacko:
