Hi, I'm curious about Calvin Tan's super stroller. Could you help me ask what is the brand? I'm looking for a stroller. Thanks.

I think the lights will be suitable for your house design.

For me i will prefer to go with white more ...

(*Juz my 2 cents worth)

My personal opinion - look for lamps with cleaner lines. Would keep the overall look of your home more to the original intent, plus also draw more focus on the table you invested in

Hihi MrandMrsWEE! Do start your own T-Blog! hahahahaha and let me know once you have set it up! I will be sure to subscribe to it! heh heh

Yeah I'm really glad that we found #CalvinTan! So many design ideas coming from him & the best part is after engaging him, we continue to have a solid designer brain to count on.

Also, PLEASE DO share your 3D drawing with me please!! It's gonna be awesome! Curious what other genius ideas this #CalvinTan has up his sleeve!! Cheers to our reno journeys!

Hahaha, will definitely share my 3D with you! (:

Keep updating ur T-blog! 😄

the lamps are nice, try to source from taobao lol

Takaishi & songz, thanks for your confirmations!! Really appreciated!! I feel a bit more at ease now, after the 2 of you gave me this assurance.. Hahaha. My design taste will tend to veer and I'm generally jialat at design. =x

Takaishi, I will definitely try my luck at taobao! I actually found this awesome birch clock which I will share in due time...

Songz, I actually don't mind the idea of all white for my lamps.. Your design sense actually seems quite good lei. *thumbs up!* Like tessina mentioned, it might help to simplify the look instead of complicating it with too many colours and things going on...

My personal opinion - look for lamps with cleaner lines. Would keep the overall look of your home more to the original intent, plus also draw more focus on the table you invested in

Tessina you sound like my boss. Hahahahaha.. He is always talking about intention behind certain rules or policies.. Haha just joking.

Actually tessina, I think you are right.. I must try to re-align and constantly remind myself of my main direction of my design.. Cleaner lines definitely a must, and you got that right about the part of wanting the dining table to be the focal point of the room! Thanks so much for your great advice! Anyway.. Do you have any suitable dining lamps to recommend? Hahaha

Hi harriette! U have a very unique name.. Haha anyway, #CalvinTan said the brand is Bugaboo. He even sent a picture to me but I'm sure you can Google the image for it...

I am well and truly shocked. This stroller... Has Omg.. SPRING SUSPENSION...

Just like a freaking motor vehicle.

I am stunned. Hahahahaha anyway happy stroller-hunting pm me if you want my #PoshHome quotation ya? Thanks

Hahaha

Let me tell you that my design sense seriously kind of lousy and color combination is at another disaster level.

Anyway thanks for the compliments...

Hi leonjennawong,

Your house is amazing!! Can share your quotation and breakdown?

Email: goh_t@hotmail.com

Thanks in advance!

Everything's a very personal preference but here's what I would pick, to add a slight tinge of rustic/industrial vibe to complement the 'recycled-boat-wood-look' dining table.

Bare bulb on holder (For e.g. Nud, Muuto etc. Can browse at Grafunkt or LifeStorey)

Or maybe replica Caravaggio Matt (can browse at those lighting shops along Balestier Rd)

Or good 'ole trusty Ikea (Hektar Pendant Lamp):

Before I start this post proper, I think it has to be said that we should be careful of certain ID companies who create user profiles in this forum to broadcast advertisement for their companies & dupe people into thinking that they are regular home owners... If a quick user profile view shows that this person has only been a renotalk user for 6 days, and is going around many T-Blogs to leave short and superficial sentences on how good their ID is.. Well, I think it's a little dubious. Just saying. I didn't mention any names. Haha...

(I actually quite like their facebook portfolio photos, but this kind of unethical advertisement just puts me off from having any kinds of dealings with this company. Talk about being counter-productive. )

In other news.... I finally got my HLE letter from HDB yesterday on 14 March 2014! WOOHOO!! :D:D

Can't wait to be able to start my actual renovation process! So envious of all you other home owners lei!! hehehe..

Anyway, just some simple updates today...

Thinking of getting this beautiful birch clock from Taobao.. Even CFO thinks it's nice! Will probably place it over the oh-my-god-so-ugly ventilation opening of the household shelter! Actually saw something similar at Muji.. But erm, Muji is not for budget people like me. hahaha..

Also saw good reviews of this perfect white track lights from Taobao.. Yum yum! Hmm.. will probably have to measure the length of the tracks that I need before I go and buy anything..

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.62.2bW0O4&id=17499602429

Also, #CalvinTan is trying to psycho me to think about getting a solid wood coffee table! He whatsapped the following photo to me the other day... The grain & the entire wood piece is so nice!! But hor. Don't you all think it's so oddly-shaped? My good friend Mr DF Muscle said it looks like a weirdly-shaped guitar. I must admit that was not the first item that popped into my mind. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Ahem.*

Anyway I don't think I'm getting this wood piece.. If not CFO will kill me. hahahahaha... Just show you all what #CalvinTan has been pushing across to me only...

One last thing for today, I actually owe everyone the picture of the fibreglass brick wall sheet that I was mentioning in Post#24.. So here you are!

I'm not actually getting these brick-wall fibreglass sheets either, because CFO doesn't like the brick-wall theme... *sad* But just for sharing purposes, I would've gotten these because I had done a rough calculation that using this fibreglass sheet is actually cheaper overall due to the ever-increasing high labour cost of getting a craftsman to come in and lay the actual half-bricks. Another advantage is that these fibreglass sheets are cleaner and faster to install...

Here's another photo for everyone to visualise better...

That's all for today.. Let's hope that HDB gives me my keys soooooonnnnn...

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND FELLAS!! HEHEHE..
