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!!

Livng Room

Light grey patterned curtain with dark grey day curtain to match our grey theme.

MBR

Black patterned curtain with red day curtain to match our black/red theme.



Guest Room

White patterned curtain to match our green theme.

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 ....

5 in 1 bed




Coffee Table 3 in 1

TV Console

Furnishing

Bought our furnitures from S&C Furnitures @ AMK. Finally managed to get to the boss on our 3rd visit. He was too busy the first 2 times. Visited countless shops and showrooms before settling with them. Bought the following items

1. Dunopillo 5-in-1 bed for Guest Room

(very practical choice!)

2. Shoe rack

(Why Orange? Coz Mrs 黑 wants the rack to match the orange wall!! Yucks ! :P )

3. Chest Of Drawers

(Mrs 黑 loves the design of the top part - It can open up like a dresser table and comes with a better quality, price and design than Ikea's!)

4. Sliding Closet - 5 Feet

(We love the exterior - all black which is similar to the closet in MBR, the interior is similar to the MBR's as well! We get to save $7XX by buying it instead of asking our contractor to do it!!)

5. TV Console

( Mrs 黑 wanted this TV Console to match our modern theme and we couldn't resist this offer! Couldn't find a cheaper one with such a nice design elsewhere!)

6. Coffee Table

(3 in 1 style. Ours is greyish-black!)

Found their range of products extensive and prices reasonable. Not sure about the quality till we receive the items cos we chose all the products through their catalogues.

Lights

I have many many many updates today! I am so excited and happy to see so many new things added to the house! Since a picture can say a thousand words, I am not going to elaborate too much...

Let's start with the bedrooms......

This is the Korean-themed light which I requested for addtional red crystals to complement the black ones . How does it look in this red room? We only spent SG$1XX on this light. Saw it at a big-name shop in SG going at the price of SG$9xx!!!

This light cost less than SG$7X only!!! Nice right??? Black light stands out in bright green room! See the nice ceiling effect of the light too!!

Almost There ...

Yippy! Our house is almost ready. The lights will be up by next week as well as the walk-in closet and kitchen cabinets!

Presenting to you the colors I have chosen for the house (not all areas have been painted yet):

Decided that there are other colours in this world besides black. Haha...

Layout of House with painting colors draft

Living Room : Dulux ICI - Granite - AL20904 (Dulux All)

Guest Room : Dulux ICI - Lime Fizz: WW23567L (Wash & Wear)

MBR : Dulux ICI - Cherry - WW24703L (Wash & Wear)

I think my traditional-thinking contractor couldn't believe his eyes after he saw the works of the painter. Made a funny remark to me "Wah! Your house's colors very dark hor? Saw your room - dark red. Got a shock! Big red, big fortune issit?" Haha, but I really love the effect of the bold colours.

Anyway, my painter did a really good and thorough job. If anyone wants the contact details of my painter, you can drop me an email for it.

Oh by the way, Dulux ICI has a very good website for you to visualise whether the colors you have chosen will fit your house before you paint the walls. The website has three areas for you to choose - living room , dining room and bedroom. You can choose a photo which looks most like your room and then choose a color to fit it. Likewise for Nippon Paint. Brilliant idea for those who do not know how to photoshop their own photos! My two cents...
