Hi,

Your house looks gorgeous!!

May I ask if its costly to ship your dinning table from TB via agent?

I have intention to buy a dinning table for my new house but im afraid that the cost + shipping fee might not be that worth while.

Thanks!

Updates, updates!

Renovation is 95% complete and I've only left with a little of electrical works and kitchen top to finish up. Last weekend my final shipment of Taobao loots was shipped to me and as usual, I'm completely amazed at the quality, packing and price of everything I bought.

There's just way too many things I purchased from TB to the point I have a long list of excel spreadsheet where I organised my purchases!

Contractor J came in with his workers to fix up all the accessories and removed the floor protection and HIS WORKERS EVEN BUILT AND FIXED UP ALL MY TAOBAO FURNITURES FOR US!! Hubby was so thankful for that! As they were removing the protection, I had a room full of furnitures from TB so they decided to open up all the boxes (at least 4 cubic metres of furnitures) and started fixing them. They were so quick to put everything up for us it was way beyond words can describe, LOL. Hubby mentioned that it was take him at least two full days to open up and fix everything but they did all up in less than an hour - AMAZING RIGHT!! There was about 6 of them and all super hands-on! They didnt even have to read the instructions on fixing the items and everything was up just looking at the holes and screws!!

Here's a sneak peek - sorry for the mess and low resolution photos taken with phone...

Our ventos fino fan purchased from Tampoi in Malaysia for MBR- Its super good and perfect for afternoon naps! :sport-smiley-004:

And finally, my 'supposed' make up table and DIY-ed IKEA mirror which we sprayed to white colour. In all honestly, I had very much liked the look but I find it too small to fit all my moisturizers and facial products + cosmetics and there's still a huge gap between my bed and the make up table. I preferred my make up table to be right beside my bed so after considering for three days and getting nagged by hubby (Because he SUPER LOVE the matt black sewing machine which he took 2 days to clean, prime and spray), he finally acceded to me buying another new make up table which is 1 metre long :P

This make up table is 60CM and I'd like to let it go to someone who would appreciate the look because such vintage sewing machines are SO HARD to find these days + it was alot of effort cleaning it up so please PM me if you'd like to take it over :D

Thanks for your compliment! The dining table is shipped via Oops and its not expensive at all.

Considering its solid wood and in such a beautiful shade of colour, its approx $650 with shipping + gst , I've seen this table in SG for $1k++ and those laminate/veneer ones going for $500+

Its price-worthy in my opinion and I've got a lot of compliments for the table!

Today's update on choosing the right kitchen table top:

My choice? Kompacplus

After researching for a year with regards to choosing the perfect table top, I've finally taken my pick with Kompacplus after eliminating Granite Top and Quartz Top from my list. Traditionally, Granite and Quartz top are well known established kitchen tops in the market however I was looking for a kitchen top that could fit my scandinavian theme but was equally durable, waterproof and asthetically pleasing. I personally feel that Granite and Quartz were too thick and not sleek + stylish to the eyes and I also preferred a kitchen top that was in wood grain. After searching high and low and sharing my concerns to everyone, a friend shared with me about the existance of Kompacplus kitchen top! I fell in love with it immediately the moment I saw the sample and got home to research more about it!

Eventually with all the information I received from Kompacplus website and photos + testimonials from their Facebook fanpage & feedback from some friends who installed Kompacplus, I was convinced this is the perfect kitchen table top! Here's a photo of which a homeowner living in HDB from Pinnacle @Duxton did with their kitchen top from Kompacplus, isn't it simply clean, sleek and beautiful?

I contacted Kompacplus and one of their saleman, Charles attended to me. He was really helpful and nice where we later met up to show me the different types of table tops and samples Kompacplus carries! He shared with me that with the increasing popularity of Kompacplus kitchen top, the company has also introduced more designs to their range from the original range that they carried. Charles also addressed all my concerns patiently like whether the kitchen top is water resistant, non-scratchable, non-breakable, durable etc with live-tests on the samples. He also shared that apart from using it as a kitchen top, Kompacplus is usually used by homeowners for their bathroom counter tops as well! Hubby and I was so pleased eventually we decided to use Kompacplus as our kitchen top as well as to use it as our wall splash, a break away from traditional glass or tiled wall backing on both sides of the kitchen.

Here are all the samples they have at the moment :deal: -

35.10 and 35.20 are more of industrial style cement screed to match with those seeking industrial cement screed look

10.10 - 10.60 are wooden designs in different shades of brown

25.20 and 25.10 are more stone like black and white designs for those leaning towards minimalist look

Eventually, Hubby and I chose 10.30 New York Teak for our kitchen as we love that perfect shade of brown and its contrasting with our white minimalist cabinets! :thumbs up:

Thereafter we confirmed our order with Charles, Contractor J took over to alias with Charles and Kompacplus workers in the dimensions of my kitchen and called back a couple of days later to share that being the most popular choice of Kompacplus, 10.30 New York Teak is sold out and the next shipment from Italy would be on the second week of October. Hubby and I were due to move in on the second week of October however we loved this so much we decided to wait for the new shipment to arrive (and move in first without a kitchen top) hahahaha. Oh yes, Charles mentioned that all their materials for this kitchen top is from Italy only so thumbs up more!!

Till the next post on my plumbing and bathroom! :sport-smiley-018: Long weekend everyone!!

Congrats on Kompactplus. Same like you, we also choose New York teak :sport-smiley-018: and white cabinets..

Initially we decided on black galaxy granite - finally we decided to switch to Kompactplus after reading the reviews and getting convinced.

Our carpentry is expected next week and then we will get the Kompactplus measurements done..

Good luck!
