Minor improvement works to our apartment



Removal of curtains and installation of roller blinds in master bedroom
After living for close to 5 years, we have chosen practicality over initial decor thoughts. We removed all our curtains to cut down on dust and ensure cleaner air within the room since we found that curtains attract dust mites. Also Gayle is quite sensitive to dust too si it was the right move. We replaced our curtains in the master bedroom with roller blinds - both day and black out roller blinds. After the installation, we were wondering how come we had not thought of doing it last time given that maintenance upkeep is easier, less dust, room looks much more spacious and the room is really much darker with the blinds down which is condusive for a better sleep. We ordered the blinds once more from Chicks and Blinds after our good experience with them through their sales rep - Pauline who can be contacted at 98460626 if you are interested in their blinds or curtains. It took four days from site visit to the delivery and installation of the blinds.

Replacement of coffee table.
We also replaced our existing coffee table in the hall with a brighter and colourful table piece that blends in with the main colours of our hall. Purchased for $290 from Star Furniture.
