Air 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 Hi Linda, saw the mirror that you bought from IKEA... Isit a brown one with suede material?? Just I bought that one 1year plus ago... If thats the same one, you must be careful of the material.. cos it will start to peel off due to moisture n heat... Somemore you are hanging yours in the toilet.Mine is kept in the bedroom and leaning against the wall.. after some time, I moved it and found that it peeled and left a whole line of brown suede against the wall.. also when cleaning, cannot use a cloth and just wipe over... the suede will start to clump and peel off too... !! quite troublesome, so now I can only dust it lightly...I got the same mirror in my bedroom too...Don't think that is suede leh...think is PVC....Ahh can peel off over time one ah...haiz...ikea things hor...really cannot buy a lot...

bluberi 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 tks!! yup, just spoke with Vincent this afternoon:today - tear down study wallpapertmr - balance carpentryfri - paintingsat - cleaning but still got lots of defects to rectify.. $288 is very affordable looking at the fantastic end result.. now u winks decal guru liao!! haha.. very active discussion on decals, i like!! huh, is it i confused den?? i thot recess walls can be anyway le.. oops..wa, diy wallpapers?!? u li hai lei.. my colour tone is a bit hard to achieve with paint as its a bit of bronzy brown black.. but they are touching up with black marker or whatever coz there are some shrinkages.. tks.. it looks nice on the walls lor just that if u look hard and long and near enough, its not perfect.. r u lilian from my office?? if not, which lilian har? i dun noe many lilians but i dun think the world is so small until i meet the lilian in my office on a forum lei.. haha.. i oso tearing down my wallpapered study room wall and just paint it.. looks nicer..its done by my id workers lor.. they are the ones doing the carpet, the cushion headboard and the wallpapers.. u sure goodrich people can do it perfectly?? my id say not possible.. really ar?? i must go scold him liao.. i didn't koe i now wink decal guru liao... i agree $288 is worth after seeing the end result.Headboard 90% done. Left the bottom 2 pieces pending due to the electrical wiring or something. I'm not really a fan of brown but it turns out to be ok. Guess I'll let Vincent live another day. Haha~ Told him I'll kill him if its not nice (coz I really don't like brown alot but he says it will be very nice). My messy kitchen area due to all my appliances that has been delivered. Asked Vincent if its safe since he has quite a number of workers having the key to the padlock of my unit (basically the company just do many locks and can be open with one key that they duplicate many many). He guarantees its safe and I hope so lor. Will get heart attack if my fridge, washer, dryer, plasma tv, lcd tv, air con or sanitary is missing. Fridge still in box. Can't wait to open it this Saturday. Actually a bit worry in the sense, everytime they deliver something I cannot check if its working immediately lor. Like I haven't test my hood, oven, hood etc, what if its spoilt and they don't allow me to change coz its like after 7 days or what like handphones can do one-for-one exchange within the first 7 says if faulty.Teka hob finally fitted in. We chose the cheaper one with the stainless steel border to match the fridge, oven, sink and roller shutter. Good la, at least can save some moeny and looks nice. There's a gap all around though. Very minimal but still can see lor. Must ask Vincent if want to silicon it.The Teka oven is also fitted. The stainless steel finishing is really so much more compatible with the rest of my fixtures than the Rinnai one. There's also a gap between the oven and the bottom drawer, don't know if its for ventilation. Must ask Vincent about it.Was admiring all the DIY stuffs at Mist t-blog. How I wish I got such talent for it. Maybe get a sewing machine next year when I'm more free after finishing my part time course. dat time my reno my ID used number lock.. so we juz remember by the number.. no need key.. i oni move my appliances over after reno complete... i beri scare my things go missing one. the oni thing dat was in before reno complete was my UFO loveseatso $150 if DIY ah?besides wink, is there any other company doing similar stuff? We saw the same newspaper thingy published in their website and wanted to try it out......but the delays of our renovation hold us back.....yes, min. $150 for winktailor if u diy urselfHaha i only sent him an email with my house pics and the wall measurements and ask him to give me a quote...haven't signed yet lah...the visualisation will only be done after we confirmed engagin him right??Hey blurberi, 288 is really a good price...i asked ryan abt it and he told me that promo was becuase at that time they just launched this...lucky you! he also told me if self install is about 100-200 cheaper....i think because minus the labour.....but lotus is really nice.....monroe very striking but i scared at night i will kena scared by it....haha.... Will show you all the visualisation if I confirmed with ryan yes, after confirm den visualisation...yes, if u diy urself is min. order $150.... hehe, wait u get a shock when u see monroe in the middle of the nite.

LinDa 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) Robinsons having sale this weekend. Was thinking of buying a steam iron but I just called their outlet at Centrepoint to ask and they says that electricals is not included in the sales. Imagine if under household, you will get 20% (sale) + 20% (special household sale) = 40% discount! Irons should be under household what! But even normal sale also not applicable. Taka is selling it too and Taka sale is just over (same as CK Tang). Think I got to wait till the next sale is here for Taka since I got the Taka card. Plus I still have yet to use my Taka vouchers.But I'm also thinking if I should buy the Novita (more expensive) one or Princess one after reading some reviews on it in the forum. Any comments?
