just got back from ikea! GREAT BUYS! *big grin*
1) 2 shelves for our computer room
2) 1 shelf for our upcoming chillout room
3) 1 low table for our upcoming chillout room
4) 1 shelf for our master room (for me :D)
5) 1 sofa bed for our computer room
~ still cant believe zack let me get this.. muaaaks! :P
6) 1 canvas artpiece
~it was love at first sight for us both.. i spotted it!!
total damage: WRECKAGE (still triple digits.. not too bad) - thank God for year-end bonus!
with these in place, our home would be more or less complete *beams* it's just so exciting finding and slowly piecing the pieces together to complete the final picture. All i need to do now is work on the common toilet - i really do not like it..
and....
We bought our Blinds and Blackcord Draperies!!
after getting quotations from 2 places; Golden Leaf and Jimmy Textiles, we finally decided on Jimmy Textiles. The former's quotation was ridiculous.. 1K for the draperies! and $570 for the rooms, total $1,570. When we visited Jimmy few mths back in April, the quote was 1.2K. So we decided to go back there again.

guess what's the total estimated quotation? $890! *gasps* almost half the price.. and their designs for blinds are nicer (nothing at GL caught my eye). Well, i like something with a sheen while zack likes them plain so after poring thru 4 catalouges, we agreed on a nice silver piece.. blackout material - means 0% penetration. We are pleasantly surprised at the low pricetag cos blackout material is more costly and blackcord draperies are usually pretty expensive as well.
Blackcord draperies, more commonly known as string curtains, are more widely used as partitions.. so i have got ppl asking me if i'm sure i wanna use them as the living room curtains. My usual answer, "Just bcos ppl uses them as partitions doesnt mean i cant use them for something else.." hahaha.. (and i just recalled saying something similar to my parents when i was 13 and wanted a garden table set for a desk.. LOL.. i was really a handful back then) c'mon.. why conform? dare to be different! even if it turns out to be a mistake.. it's ok :) (ok, sometimes its not!)
everything seems to be moving along as scheduled and hopefully our humble home will be ready in time for our Christmas / Housewarming / Zack's bday PARTY! Date is no longer 23rd, will update on the new date.. stay tune!
k.. i'm gonna hit the sack.. tired already.. night night~
