Arrival of study table and bookshelf

Tue 26 Aug evening, our study table and bookshelf were delivered. We thought that the coffee table is also ready but it'll only be here in a week or two. They took the dining table glass top back to their warehouse to spray black. Therefore, they'll deliver everything in Sept, together with the CPU compartment and our free bolster. :) We are really satisfied with their product and service especially. Melvin, the boss, is very cautious about not damaging our floor and furniture. We don't mind getting all our furniture from him and highly recommend it to everyone.


Our 'walnut' series of study table and bookshelf. We're the 1st customer to purchase these in 'walnut' and they turn out nice! The study table legs can open up to hide wires, an idea which we really like.


Study room. We're going to change the bulbs of the light as the colour is really blue. The room also looks rather dull and dark.


Our bed is finally moved to our bedroom. It's so nice! It's actually still quite spacious between the bed and the wardrobe. The bedroom is now my fav part of the house. :) The headboard light is of different colour. We'll just remove it one day, together with all the other bulbs we want to change and go to one of the shops at Chinese Garden to buy.

20th Week of Reno - 18-24 Aug 2008

On Fri evening before our Jap lesson, we made a trip down to French Bridal to see the layout of our photos. Overall, we're satisfied with it except for 2 pages which we asked for re-do. We took the soft copies home too. Here are some of the photos...





The house's main door is painted white while the gate is grey. Our unit stands out from the rest as a result. These photos were taken using the hp, thus quality is rather poor. On the coming Tue, our coffee table, study table and book shelf will be delivered. :) They will also paint the dining table glass top, touch up the legs of the sofa and fix the bed up. Better quality pics will be uploaded then.

Outside and inside of the house

19th Week of Reno - 11-17 Aug 2008

The main gate, living room and bedroom door frames are all painted and touched up, only left the main door to paint white. However, there're still some more things to touch up.


Doorframes painted. The colour is about the same as before. The main gate is also painted the same colour.


These 2 areas still need to touch up.

Last week my father-in-law mentioned that we should paint the circuit box and after painting, it really looks so much nicer! All switches in the house have wires hidden. Nice and neat. :)

Kitchen orange glass backing is done. After days of getting used to the orange tone, I actually find it quite nice although I didn't like it at 1st cos it's too dull.

18th Week of Reno - 4-10 Aug 2008

We were at our house on National Day to check what are the items fixed. So far, our house is almost done. Only left the paint to touch up. Don't have photos to show this time as we forgot to bring camera. I'll upload photos once everything is completed.

12 Aug we went for food tasting. The food generally is great but the dishes lack presentation. The wedding tokens are nice and we like the coaster and saucer. Hope that they'll allow us to mix 50-50% the coaster and saucer. Soon we'll have to start informing all our guests-to-be and confirm the attendence. Guess we'll start to get busy, preparing the guest list, photo montage etc.

17th Week of Reno - 28 July-3 Aug 2008

The workers are really so slow and inefficient. Another week has passed and only part of the orange glass backing is installed. Think they've made mistakes in measurement, that's why it's only halfway done. The orange is not quite the tone we're looking for. It's too dull, but we can't change it. So shall accept as it is. We've complained to Miko about the speed of work and given her a list of things still need to be fixed. Hopefully in a week or two everything will be completed.
