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!!

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.

Home Theatre System

Got the Samsung home theatre system courtesy of Mr TPKKL. A bonus that it came in black. Looks like we don't have to recycle the old Akira player! A big Thank-You to Mr TPKKL from Mrs 黑 and I!!
