A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words ...

For a period, we didnt update this blog. We had been busy shopping for furniture & electrical goods these few days. We purchased Guest Room Queen size bedframe + mattress, MBR Samsung 23" LCD TV & sofa bed, Living Room sofa, TV console, coffee table,shoes cabinet, Kitchen dining table with 6 foldable chairs, fridge, Study Room shelves & computer table for both of us. Big Damage to our wallets. The best bargin is the 23" Samsung LCD TV that we grabbed at the Courts Sales. Havery norman is having their warehouse sales at Singapore Expo & I think Courts is trying to counter offer them. Good for all the consumers. They have more choices to choose from. This LCD TV is without extended warranty. We bought our dream fisher & paykel fridge from the biggest havery norman store & they offer the best rate for extended warranty.

We had bad experiences with our sofa & TV console vendor . Their furniture price is quoted without GST!! They never inform us until the moment when we start to make our payment. So dishonest!! We felt that Ikea sale personnel shld be train to be more proactive. They jus answer your enquires through verbal or point here n there. Never go further extra mile for customer, really a 'DIY' style of customer service.

Latest update for our home reno progress

We got the contractor to add on another layer of wall ceiling to even out the odd shape for MBR. Now at least it is more presentable. Making of MBR wardrobe is still on-going at the moment. Progress abit slow. Below is the lighting for MBR drop down Ceiling. Center piece is the dimmer light.







Door Chime for Main Door, it come with nice melody & normal door bell mode.




Our bedroom doors having rough suface due no varnish. We will get someone to do the lacquer for them.



Door Stopper


Window Grills


Feature Wall











Our White Theme Kitchen almost 95% done. Nice Frosted glass & squareish cabinet handle. If you look at the picture closely, you will notice that one of the section is doorless. Heard that the kitchen cabinet contractor actually broke it . So now got to wait for new replacement. Some of the cabinet door edge is abit crooked & dirty too. We got the contractor to take note of it & they will do the amendment. Water mixture for the sink & tap for washing machine was both installed in the evening.











Our Guest room wardrobe is quite screw up. Door handle isnt fixed yet & some portion of the door surface is bloated. Poor workmanship. Actually they are of the same material with our kitchen cabinet. Done by same cabinet contractor too. Complained to the main contractor & he will infm cabinet contractor to get it retified. We bought a white Queen size bed fame in v.hive. Good bargin & definately will work well with the wardrobe.



Water heater for both Kitchen & MBR toilet is fixed. First picture from the Kitchen toilet & 2nd picture from the MBR toilet. We spent the minimum reno amount on these 2 area. Basically nothing much can be done due to small constraint area.





The only area without furniture or fixture is our store room . The wall surface is really wrinkled ,really uneven & rough. Well, it doesnt need attention as long as we keep the door closed.

More update to come after 20th . Stay tune !!
