    Groupon sent me $20 credit during Mother's Day and there was a personalised canvas deal. I paid $34 for below 20" x 30" canvas of my baby's photo. BEST purchase ever. Photo taken from entrance.

I searched tabao for the MR16 LEDs and I know what you're talking about now. But they only seem to sell the bulbs. Can't find the spotlight holders. Or maybe thats not how they work? haha. Clueless.

Solid wood top w trestle base works as a study! But not sure how the top would be attached? Screwed on?

Hii, let me help you search later. There are track light fittings for MR16 LED, local shops sell them but not sure of the cost.

My ID found out today that I am the culprit behind the sudden influx of enquiries he received in recent weeks. Oops!

Anyway, today is acid washing! My ID, his boss, electrician and cleaner came down to do some touch up. Very impressed that their boss actually got his hands dirty and helped out.

More photos to follow! We started putting some furniture around, heehee!!!
