The new Curtains

I've been busy with buy new curtains for Doraemon's Living Room these few days. I have to find serveral places to get the curtains I want. I already got an idea of what to get, but the difficult part is where to get these things...

All the hunting goes all the way at all these places...
  • AMK NTUC XTRA
  • AMK Curtain/Cushion Shops
  • Parkway Parade Giant
  • Bedok Giant
  • Tampines Metro
  • Tampines IKEA
Imagine all the walking I've done to get the curtains I want. Some curtains are too complicated for me, some are too expensive. Finally I settled with these as followed:

Hope that it will provide a good reference for you.


Size of Window: approximately 2400mm x 1200mm
Brown Curtain: NTUC, $19.90 each, S$39.80 per pair
White Base Curtain: IKEA, LILL curtain $9.00/pair
Curtain Rod: IKEA, INDEX curtain rod 120-210cm ($8) + 210-385cm($12)
Curtain Ends: IKEA, INDEX KRONA finial $7.00/2pc
Curtain Rod Support: IKEA, twin rod support bracket ($5/pair)
Total Amount Invested: S$80.80

It was fun, challenging and tiring to install the curtains on our own, but it's a good and memorable experience :)

I am very grateful to doraemon for letting me decide everything from the colours and everything for the curtains (with him paying lah).

These type of opportunies doesn't come often :)

Happy Lunar New Year everybody :)
