The innate need to have a perfect home VS The actual amount we have to spend Round 1
The war above is not really much of a match. The man and I both have good knowledges about interiors, I am more into the looks while he is very much picky about the finishing quality = big hole in the pocket. To start off with, our haven is at least twice as expensive as that of our peers if not 3 times more. That we rationalise with a "its a nice estate and we want a place we look forward to going back"
We have also made the purchases for the big ticket items and tsk tsk tsk, we have outdone our peers again. Its not about being arrogant, honestly when I am at their homes, I do find their homes nice but somehow when we do the shopping, everything and anything that catches my fancy costs a bomb.
items bought so far:
Sofa custom made by Sanctuary Dian $2165, inspired by Minotti (from a reliable survey, other people have spend less then $1000)
Mattress from Simmons $1515 from Courts on promo (the initial model that we wanted cost $3500 even with a big promo so yes for this we have tried to compromise thought from the same reliable survey, most of the people I know are sleeping on mattresses that cost below $500, kua kua kua)
Samsung LCD 37" at Harvey Norman Expo Sale (HNES) $1999 with free sound system and DVD player (this was a wonderful buy. when we first started looking it cost like $2500)
Draco HD Box Set $299 buy with purchase promo at HNES, usual price $599
Samsung 2Dr Sidebyside Refrigerator at HNES $899, the titanium colored one was gorgeous but the white was $100 cheaper and really the color does not affect the performance. (sponsored by the man's mum)
Samsung frontload washing machine HNES $599, 7.5kg with adjustable RPM up to 1000RPM, design not the best as the loader is really just above the floor which means i have to almost sit on the floor to load it. The man promise to buy a stool hahaha. (sponsored by my mummy)
Pics shall be posted when items are delivered and in their places. *wink*
Now there are more things to clear:
1. Contractor confirmation for feature walls and ceiling
2. Other appliances (vacuum, oven, fan, etc)
3. Bed Frame, Coffee Table, Dining Table/Chairs, Rug.....
4. Decal for feature
5. Painting for sofa wall
6. Buying lights (most dreaded!)
7. Walk in Wardrobe system
Jia You!!!!
