Weekend 28.08.2016 - 29.08.2016

We spent the whole of last 2 days trying to DIY some stuffs. 

Surprised to see the TV console ready. Check out the handle.. its from Taobao. 

The painter was there already.. layering the first coat of the paint. 

 

And the doors that we DIY. Door wrapping! But since the curved in trimming were abit diificult to melt in, Mr husb decide to cut the wrapping and will paint instead.

Ooh the carpet looks so soft and plush! Would love to sink my feet on something like this everyday  *runs off to search under prime*

Congrats on shifting in and on the almost completion of your home! The stress will finally be over  try to have your ID touch up on the areas that require fixing!

Hi.. i  cant advise how many cm is suitable. i just took the risk and ordered mine. Being a non-chinese.. i cant understand the description at all. 

For adjustable light, you can choose at the option available. 

Attached my kitchen and the light install. Actual brightness is brighter that this picture. Pic didnt do much justice.

Some pic after a week moving in. 

Our living room and our furkids lil corner at the balcony area.

And our invisible grill at the balcony area with 2inch gap.

The girls bedroom. The toys / book rack we ordered from Taobao earlier was out of stock and so we change our order and bought this instead.

Mom's bedroom. The queen size bed and dressing table from Ezbuy under Prime listing.

Last month we visited a frd's place and they had installed these type of sockets in their living room. 

This allowed them to use the power point and charge their Hp just by using cable and plug straight to the power point. 

We're going to steal this idea and get a few of this powerpoint all over our new home, included the kitchen. 

Will be much easier when am busy checking out the resipes and charging my phone at the same time. 

 

We got this from Taobao .. and here's the link : https://world.taobao.com/item/523081378890.htm?fromSite=main

Can check with you if you know these switches comes with ground? Because most china product doesn't comes with basic grounding.
