bits and pieces of "DIY" stuffs ...

lately i have been busy cleaning up the house ... can never imagine having so much dirt left over from a renovation, but i guess the nearby mrt tracks are also active contributors @_@ well for once i am glad that my house is only a 3-room hiakz hiakz

aside from cleaning, cleaning, and cleaning, i manage to get a few "DIY" stuff up :)

• my door plate number - looked simple? yet it takes me a while to ensure that it fits well with the metal gate and most importantly, looks horizontally straight 

• step stool - bought from ikea, super proud with the end result .... verdict - good buy 5 stars

step stool - before & after assembly

• compartmenting my mini-wardrobe - another item bought from ikea (oh the hangers also !!!).  it's kinda too tall, so in the end, have to sacrifice a few slots :(

wardrobe organiser

• set up my dvd player - do you recall my last post where i talk about something "special" on my tv console? well heihei got it right, my wiring has been concealed despite the absence of a feature wall \(^_^)/.  so how do i add a player now?  here's how:

step 1: attached hdmi cable to tv and insert into the wall opening.

step 2 : open the wiring casing on the other side of the wall, run the cable through the casing, and insert back into the wall opening.

step 3: close up the wiring casing

step 2 & step 3

step 4: open console cover and attached cable to player. setup power and TADA !!! done, player up and running !!!

coming soon ...

my living hall is still short of a sofa and i am still contemplating on the material & color.  well hopefully i can get one next weekend ... that will then make the house ready for housewarming, so look out for it :)

shopping items up and running :)

it's been a while since i last updated, are you waiting for the final outcome???
heehee not so fast *evil grin*

first things first, do you still recall my last post abt aircon pelmet?  after throwing a tantrum, this is the best my id can do ...

before vs after

can you spot the difference?  they created another false ceiling above the aircon to minimise the gap from 5 inch to 2.5 inch.  in this way, they maintain practicality for aircon maintenance and at the same time, improve the pelmet visually with a smaller depth.  does the "hole" now look better?  well for me, at least they tried something :)

aside from rectifications and touch up for the house, my new home is pretty much done up ... in this post, let's me share some pictures of my purchases:

• hood & hob - first addition to the house for carpenter to do measurements.  ceramic induction - probably not the best choice for pple who love to cook, but my number 1 choice for ease of cleaning.

• washing machine - i was very worried that my "yard" is too small to house the washing machine and rubbish chute.  but in the end, it din turn out too bad after all.  the only pity is that the washing machine is facing the walkway instead of the window.

• water heater - installed by ever joint (at $50 per heater installation).  do you like the color of the heater ... well they were suppose to be white, but in the end, we have to go with champagne cos white ones are out of stock and for the re-stock we have to wait till Oct (0_0).  well luckily the outcome is surprisingly good hiakz hiakz

• refrigerator - have not got a samsung refrigerator before ... hope it's a wise decision. otherwise i can only blame myself for choosing design over reliability (-_-!)  carpenter and tiler sizing perfect !!! 100/100 for measurement accuracy

• tv - been quite a drama to fix this wall mount.  my id did something special though, did you notice his attention to details? 

the house certainly looks like a home now with all the necessities in... so happy with all my shopping
