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 =)))

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:

Hi can share edmund's contact? You didn't use Defong in the end?

Loves how a little DIY adds so much to character and individuality to the decor.

You have just inspired me to start on something small.

Hi Cyn,

I think the frames are not enough, we may add more frames in the future. :D

Wow, your DIY projects looks awesome!! I am thinking of having one wall for pictures./ frames as well so now still deciding which wall shall be used for that. hahaha..

More worried how it will turn out though as I am not good in DIY projects :D

Hi Cynthia, could you PM me your quotation from your ID? Was planning on checking out DX as well...

Painting! Pretty headache when choosing colors.. We knew what we wanted, but grey? So many kinds! We started with the cornices first which was pretty easy :good:, then the walls.

Our fave corner and effect (Pardon the mess and painter's tape)! Walkway:

WIW wall color was not decided yet, as i wanted pink initially then i wanted nude then i wanted turquoise after that (too many choices), well, i guess woman are all like that. :bleah:

For bedroom 2, will be using as entertainment room in future (I wanna get XBox! LOL) but for now, it will be hubby's work room. No pics (selfish me, not taking pictures), but 1 side of the wall is that dark grey as well.

The kitchen untouched as i think is more airy and spacious that way. :thumbs up:

Hi cynthiazen,

Can I check with you how many days you took to paint the whole place?

See the way you enjoy so much makes me also want to diy :good:

Hi cynthiazen,

Are you doing any thing to your utility box area in the living room next to your main door and kitchen?
