Hi iceage,

thanks for the compliments! The laminate we are using for the platform is Collins Marcello Walnut from lamitak and its code is WY 5240D. The laminates are all very pretty and hope you have fun choosing them! :)

Thanks Klimoo! Appreciate it :sport-smiley-018:

Yep we bought them for $85 too. But imo the wooden bands are nicer, and since its reversible its like having two lights for the price of one! so its worth it hee.

yup my wife originally wanted the metallic one since we getting one wooden one already. In the end, decided the wooden one still better!

Met up with Mr. K this morning at my place. Did some clarification on the things which needs to be rectified.



We will still have the two pieces of glass at the living room half wall. The craftsmen will do their best to fit the glass into the wooden frame. :good:



Countertop will be installed later in the afternoon and final painting will start next week!



Pending items will only be the doors and final cleaning. Hopefully, everything can be completed before end of the year. Anyway, from the way we are gauging the progress, all the major work to be done should be completed before xmas and hand over should be before end of the year! Cross our fingers!



Cant wait to start our 摆家乐!!!!



Preview of our study table!!!:sport-smiley-003: It is so heavy!!

We were first informed there was no more stock for the dryer when we called up to arrange for a delivery date. However the day before the delivery, we called again to check if the dryer can be delivered together and they said no problem. In the end when the delivery man came, he said the dryer, washer/dryer stacking kit, and two free bosch pots will be delivered another day. TUrns out the model we bought was discontinued and we had to top up to get another model.

An update on the progress for the past week.

Kitchen and mbr toilet's countertop has been installed!

Very happy with how nicely the tap and basin comes together even thought the taps were all bought online. :sport-smiley-018: Kitchen tap's not installed yet as the hole in the granite top is too small. Apparantly that is a standard size but its not big enough for the Kraus faucet. The other hole in the quartz top for the hansa tap is alright though. Now that the hole's been enlarged, we'll have to trouble the plumber to make another trip to fix it up.

Pending items:

1) granite counter top for kitchen

2) quartz counter top for mbr toilet

3) crystal glass backing for kitchen

4) final coat of paint

5) glass for wooden frame

6) doors for all bedrooms, toilets and kitchen (make take up to another 2 weeks! :o )

7) hood installation

8) cleaning

9) touch ups!

Anyway really excited about my amazon purchase just now!

Bought this for myself

and this for the mr

These lamps have been on my radar for some time, really like how classic the design is! And the reviews about the spring mechanism are very good, so when I saw they are both at about 40% off, I quickly bought it! (after seeking approval from the mr of course hee) Xmas presents for ourselves! :lol: Actually I haven't found out how much they are selling this in sg. But I figured with the discount, it should be quite a gd deal even with the shipping! Er hope it doesn't turn out otherwise :P

Sorry to question but why does your subway tiles look like they have the warped feeling? by the way what kitchen top are you using? :sport-smiley-018:

Haha, think it is the camera. We are using granite for the counter top.
