clean up, parquet.. and curtains

On Tuesday, they made the parquet shiny.
haha.. that sounded pretty dumb.
I'm not too sure on how to call the process, but what basically they did was to sand and varnish the parquet flooring.. so it'll look shiny..
Hence my succinct but silly opening sentence ..

On Monday, they started installing the mirror and the glasses needed for our furnitures.. started installing the mirror in the living room.. not finished yet.. still have some others that they need to install..

On Friday, the contractor cleaned up our unit..
acid washing process or something like that..
whatever it is.. our unit came out sparkling clean..
oh well.. maybe not super clean.. but it looks much much cleaner than previously..

The people from Jimmy Textiles came and installed the curtains.
They're the first installers who actually told me that the installations are gonna be boring, and tell me that it'd take 2 hours to complete, and in the meantime, I could go somewhere and come back again in 2 hours.
Anyway, I went to buy some a fan for the flat, and came back when they finished their installation. I bought a 12" floor fan from Homefix for $31.90. Not bad. :-)

The center panel opens up for the TV, and part of the bottom panel will open to allow access to the DVD player.


As a side warning for those of you who want to set up a home theatre system.. please take note.. component cables are expensive!
HDMI cables are even MORE expensive.
:-)
Stick to RCA cables if you are not too particular about how your images appear on your TV..

door, carpentry, last electrical works,

Additional items added to the snowflake's treasure lists: washing machine and refrigerator.
Wah.. it was difficult just to choose for these 2 items.. choices choices choices..
:-)

In the end, I stopped by at the Gain City shop nearby my current apartment, and purchased the items from there.

Another items arrived over the weekend: bedroom doors.

The doors came unvarnished, the carpenters did the adjustments at our flats, and painted and varnished the doors after they were installed.

Final product..

After redoing the wardrobes, the carpenters delivered the wardrobes this week..

Pictures of wardrobes in bedroom3 and master bedroom, and also the tv console in master bedroom..


I bought a super single bed for the guest room along with a matching side-table.

The feature walls in the living and dining room was installed this week..

Pictures of the dining/living area with lights off and with lights on..
The picture on the right above, shows the lightings in dining/living areas are installed. If you notice, the lightings on the mirror feature wall are off-colored (mismatched).. we'll need to change that.

To end off my update this week.. last electrical touch up..
9 lamp switches for the dining/living room, switches for the kitchen hood/hob and ovens.. and the door bells.




Coming up this week:
Painting , parquet flooring finishes, and final wash..
Curtains will then be installed ..

That's all the update for this week..
2 more weeks before I get to see my fiance again..
I miss her .. :-(
