Going "scandi" On Budget

Recommended Posts

Hi Tirimisu,

Thank you but I bought all my furniture (except Ikea) already. I paid $599 for a 3-seater, not that bad la. Hehe.

Hi supermama, i believed u bought the same tv console as me. Not to worry, mine is still going strong after more than a year of usage.

Hi Nexer, GREAT TO KNOW!!!! Love the way you do up the place :good::good: You got the matching bedside tables too! I wasn't so daring as it was my first purchase. Now that you have given me assurance, aiyah, I should have gotten a set too!

for your aircon installation.. did u ask the guy to make 2 trips down... meaning 1st trip to do the trunking and stuff , 2nd trip to set up the aircon... or u do everything in just 1 trip ?

Mmm, they made 2 trips, one is site survey and next is trucking and installation of the aircon all within a day - 10am to 3pm.

I will PM you my quote! Amcon does not open to check the items as they are just a forwarder and not an agent like Peeka or daigou65. Of course if they received anything damaged on arrival (DOA), they will inform and should contact seller. Sorry, I am not too sure about this. Oops, haven't read up because my purchases all are good (except tv console which is unopened....)

Perhaps you can check with them how they can help if there are defects.

This week:
1. Ceiling Fans Installation - 4/3 -- DONE!
2. Carpentry for kitchen and bathroom - 7/3
3. Reconfiguration of Track-lights - 7/3
4. Painting (Nippon Sail White for whole house and Angel Pink for baby's room) - 9/3
5. Shower screen and bathroom full length mirror installation - TBA

Next week:

1. Laminate flooring - 12/3

2. Delivery of furniture from Star Living - 15/3

3. Delivery of appliances - my tiny refrigerator, TV, oven - 15/3

4. Delivery of Washer/Dryer - 17/3

So, I ordered KDK fans... love the combination with the track lights (although an Aeratron fan would have aced better :notti: )

Master bedroom Baby fan - doesn't wobble much

Bedrooms (Kronoswiss D2332WG - Siberian Ash)

sr_2332_kv_1.jpg

Can't wait for these to start next week

So disappointed today! ID called and informed that no more stock for my bedrooms flooring :~:jail:

So their boss came to my office with a stack of samples for my selection... nothing came close to that colour but I eventually chose this. Console me again pls !!! Still scandi-style? :(

Looking forward to Friday evening - my house should be fully lit-up by then & my kitchen cabinets will be installed. HEHEHE. :sport-smiley-004:

Hi, the feeling is amazing, they are working relatively fast despite the delay caused by HDB. Can't wait to see yours!

I bought KDK, $350 for the one in living room and $280 for the baby fan. They wobble when windows are opened so I dun recommend.... but again I bought KDK because the KDK wall fans my parents bought 20yrs ago are still working now!

According to KDK installers, their fans wobble :( Performance wise is good, very powerful.

Just saw the sofas from Notion Design, $690 only!!! Too late already... arghhh. For others, Tirimisu has recommended another great place for such sofas... I love the L shape one at $990.. cheap!
