UPDATE: See my study desk HERE.
Hmm… I can only show 1/2 the room cos it’s currently the temporary storage for cardboard boxes that we need to return to the movers. (Oops)
The glass panel can be covered by roller blinds if guests do stay over. Eventually we should be getting a sofa bed, study table and chair to turn the room into a study cum guest room. Until then, it remains unfurnished.
And yep, those are part of my LEGO modular houses collection… visitors seem to find them quite fascinating. In fact most have requested to be invited over again once my LEGO collection is fully unpacked.
See more pics after the jump….

Our EM Renovation Experience 
Hi, how do you plan on keeping the modulars dust proof? Im moving too. searching for ideas to display my modulars.. but dust seems to be a problem
Well… the room is enclosed, the shelf is high… and I guess I should try to dust them periodically.
Apart from putting them in glass shelves… don’t think there are other ways… nice shelves don’t come cheap tho.
Love your reno. You can consider making those acrylic cases if you want to keep the dust out, not that expensive, can have a look at it at Bras Basah Complex.
Btw,how did u decide on your hood and hob in your kitchen…
@hungryhippo:
– where exactly in Bras Basah and approximately how much will they cost?
– re: hob & hood… we chose what we thought were the most functional – that’s why we didn’t get a package deal for a hob and hood of the same brand… wanted one that’s ‘best in class’ for what we wanted.
Have a read at this: https://emrenoblog.wordpress.com/2011/09/10/completed-pics-kitchen/
And the post has links to what I wrote earlier about the hob & hood purchases.
Hood I wrote in quite a lot of details the reasons why I picked it but for hob you can read from this other blog: http://renovation-greencoal.blogspot.com/2010/04/thanks-million-continuing-updates.html
Thumbs UP for your place! Reall Nice!
Thanks Wilson. 🙂
Hi, the place is called Acrylic Centre #02-99 at Bras Basah. Your Modular collection seems pretty big so not sure how much it wil cost, but they have small boxes from $20 to the mega huge ones which you will need to ask for a quote I guess. If you r going, best to measure the 3 dimensions first.

Thanks for the tip. Will check out the links.
@hungryhippo: Thanks for the Pendec link. Looks like they have interesting stuff! 🙂
Hi, i love the little glass window you did between your study and kitchen and am thinking of doing something similar between my living and dining.
When i asked my contractor, he said that we have to hack half the wall, i.e. from the ceiling to about 1.2m height, then they will have to install a partition from the ceiling to about 1.8m height, to create the window.
Did you do this as well? Or was it possible for your contractor to just hack a rectangle hole from 1.2m to 1.8m height (and save the trouble of hacking so much then rebuilding the partition wall)?
@firesnow: What your contractor said sounds about right. Did he mention what the partition would be made of? I think a brick wall on the glass could be too heavy? Mine is different cos it’s a completely new wall (in a new place).
