      Balestier shops have Hansgrohe and Grohe too! Did u dig deeper? You must comb from 1 end to the other like we did.


      There's an ID programme on Channel 5 every Tues. There are some lighting sponsors you can take note of. We watch that programme every Tues night to \"kaypoh\" other people's ID πŸ˜› A lot of the participants bought fully-furnished condos, yet they want to tear down every wall and cabinet to re-renovate.
      Dug. Very deep πŸ˜‚
      But Hansgrohe and Grohe suppliers in DE still offer lower prices after factoring in shipping.

      Err... those shows are being \"sponsored\" leh. If they sponsor me, I'll let them tear down my house also.

        "Designer in the House"

        Tues 930pm
        On toggle

        Reno NOT sponsored. Owners gave specific budget and tineline to ID contractors.

        Lighting is sponsored though if the owners pass a stupid test.

          No, there are no Nespresso capsules at Lam Yeo, my dear.

          I have a refill kit for Nespresso.
          Just need to add powder but there's no point adding normal coffee powder to the refill kit leh πŸ˜‚
          Hence, need for look for those luwak coffee or exotic beans / blends to make the effort worthwhile.

          OT a bit, can I ask where you got the refill kit from? I would love to get it. TIA![/quote]You can buy a tanker from Taobao, a refill kit is small case πŸ˜‰

          http://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?id=537656186520 from Taobao. Same product is available on https://www.amazon.com/RECAPS-Nespresso-Capsules-Refillable-Stainless/dp/B0175SV0US also. Just note that this isn't the same as a ready made capsule, you will need a number of trials to get the grind / amount of coffee right.

                Refill kits are cheaper in EU no?

                Only about 1 euro per capsule.

                  Capsules definitely cheaper in EU. Not sure about the refill kits. Haven't seen them around.

                      Hangrohe/Grohe only at the head of Balestier Rd? Years ago, I bought mine from Mohammad Sultan. If you want to ship in, make sure the water pressure at your house is strong enough or else you may not get the shiok shiok effect especially if you intend to install those high-end models with (multi-jet) massaging effect. Note: Water charges going up 30% hor.

                      For LED downlights, I bought Phillips, from one of those lighting shops in Balestier. Two thumbs up.

                        I watched the short clip on Facebook. Nice, but given that interior decor is pretty subjective, it may not be realistic to expect others to pay a premium solely on account of the decor, even though one could have spent $100K++ on the renovations
