The "Stay"

Guess we should do some updates for our stay in our home .... it has been 6 mths for hubby and 9 mths for me staying in this sweet home of ours ...

I am juz too lazy to update. So here u go ... pics of events, guests, pets etc.

More bargains ...

Well ... the smart Mrs 黑 just bought some more stuff to add to the house ..and again at great bargain prices...... Mother-in-law had been recommending that we must invest on a Philips iron which would last long and allow us to iron easily .... we started our hunt at Giant before proceeding to Courts (with a tip-off from Mother-in-law that there was one good Philips iron at a great discount!) We bought this fantastic steam iron - GC3331 at $6X instead of $1XX (the prices we saw at Carrefour and Best Denki)! Highly recommended !!

Mrs 黑's sister also insisted that she invest in a good ironing board - she highly recommended Leifheit ironing board bought from CK Tangs or Robinsons which can last for a few good years ... However, it was way too expensive .... the cheapest one was almost $90! Mrs Black did some research and made Mr Black go to a warehouse shop, Hogarmas in faraway Jurong ... and we managed to spend only $5x on a solid Leifheit board.

Where else can you find a smarter wife ?? hohoho

Matrimonial Bed

We just received another great gift. A storage bed frame cum a Vono Back Relaxer Mattress + Storage Bed from my great pals from Team A. Mrs Black specially requested for a storage bed cos storage space was really a premium in our tiny little house. The Vono Mattress was suppose to be good for Mrs Black's bad back. Thank you guys!!!

Bedsheet

A great friend bought us a really nice quit cover set from Aussino to meet the theme for our bedroom !! Really appreciate it. Sorry ger, that it took me such a long time to say this "Thanks" to you! Thanks, Ms Tan !!

Close that curtain !

Presenting to you the curtains we have chosen. We did curtains for 3 rooms at $1XXX - sponsored by hubby's generous mummy . It wasn't easy choosing the materials, especially when hubby and I couldn't agree to each other's preference. Trust us, it would be much easier if only one party made all the decisions. We spent almost 3 hrs in a small curtain stall in People's Park Centre trying to compromise with each other's choice !! We especially love the dark-toned day curtains. Good for the 'blackout' effect!!

Delivery of Furniture - Part 1

Some of the furniture have arrived. Was quite excited about it cos we chose them from a catalogue without seeing the real thing. It was quite a gamble, but it really paid off. The furnitures look fantastic and the fact that they fitted into the theme and blended with each other was a real bonus.

Anyway, here are some pics to share ....

Bomb Shelter Storage Rack

Bought a L-Shaped 4-tier metal rack for the bomb shelter from Yee Sin @ Defu Lane for $1xx. Price included delivery and installation. Found the price to be pretty reasonable. Found another company with similar stuff but nicer looking. The sales guy told me that theirs was from Japan and quoted me $7xx for a rack of the same dimensions!!

Our rack was promptly delivered and installed within 30 mins. Found it to be a great buy. It fully maximised the limited space in the shelter without being cluttered. Storage was convenient and plentiful. Mrs 黑 can't complain about lack of storage anymore! The rack can store up to 800kg of stuff!!
