Hello! Your house is beautiful! May I know the link of your TB vanity cabinet at your bathroom? Love the shade of brown! And may I know if your gold kitchen tap is the telescopic kind?

matchalatte 16 Report post Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) @orihs2015 hello, im alternating between the official forwarder 4px and mike (kaijun) for container shipping if im shipping bulky items. @Clarence Lye haha apparently this guy is american and hes gotten a china citizenship and opened a TB shop. with 50K followers i suppose it shd be ok! i may get one when my kenwood one goes kaput haha. @plady hello, its custom made by carpenter, not from TB. in case you're interested, i used lamitak's hermes marcello walnut laminate. thanks! whats a telescopic tap? those that can be pulled out? mine cannot.

plady 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2018 Hello! Thanks so much for your reply and info about the laminate name Appreciate it! Yup, I thought it's the pull out kind. Looks gorgeous! I wanna choose a matt black or gold tap from TB but my husband is worried that it may spoil and changing it will be difficult >_< Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matchalatte 16 Report post Posted January 4, 2018 did up some shelves outside the bomb shelter over the weekend. it was NOT easy at all as the reinforced concrete is extremely hard and brittle. so we only managed to drill 2cm holes. which is fine actually since im only intending to put some very light things like posters. also managed to find real fiddle leaf fig plant from IKEA! really stocking up on them plants coz they liven up the space so much.

Maybe u can paint the bomb shelter vent black too the seller provided a bubble ruler together with the screws and stuff when i bought the shelves. wanted to paint the vent and handle gold initially but couldnt find the right shade of gold so im just going to leave it for now.

matchalatte 16 Report post Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) an (almost) completed living room. got the first batch of posters up on the wall. finally! no more having to rest them against the back of the sofa. also got moar cushions and covers. and also some decor on my drawer chests : hubby said we have tooo many stuff now lol, but honestly this is the kind of look i was going for. a mish mash of hygge, nordic, midcentury modern & art deco. i will probably upload more pics this week! the weather has been so gloomy lately.
