I was a bit worry after I put deposit for the wallpaper with Montella, as I read some negative comments about the company. Except for the "not so pleasant" face from their staff, I considered myself for being lucky to have my wallpaper fixed at the designated timing without problem. For pricing and my initial selection, please click

The wallpaper has been pasted on the wall of my master bedroom and the wall of my dining area, so far no problem.
Here's the picture of it:



Although wallpaper is hard to maintain, but I must say it has created a classy look to my master bedroom. I shall also post its picture on the dining area when I have one.

I did not post up a picture of my wall mirror but some has been asking me, so here you go the picture, which was taken last year before I moved in.
And here is the recent picture after the wallpaper is up:

My design was a full length mirror, done by a Msia contractor. But because the length cannot fit into my lift and I do not want to pay extra for bringing it up from staircase, I accepted my contractor's suggestion to join it at the bottom by 2 pieces of mirror. It is not noticeable from the picture, and anyway there'll be tables and chairs in front of the mirror, which will block the joining line, thus I think it is also a good way to save my money. (full length mirror is much more expensive than joint mirror)
The size of the mirror is very big, many friends were overwhelmed by my living hall when they first entered my house, credits go to this mirror. So I would think it is a good buy.
The cost of the mirror is S$900 for your information. Click

We passed by a roadshow by The Montella on their wallpaper in early August, we were attracted by their wallpapers. The promotion price then was $450 for 2 rolls and $495 for 1 roll, each roll is 3mx5m, and min purchase is 1 roll. Pls note the price is before GST. I can't really say whether the price is cheap, coz I've seen a forumer got one of his wall pasted with wallpaper and quoted by his ID SGD800, on the other hand also have people posted on the forum complaining Montella's pricing is more expensive than others. I guess there're many types of wallpaper around, for us we find the price reasonable, as it include labour cost to paste it on the wall, and it was those textured type of wallpaper made in Korea, so we placed a deposit of S$300.
The showrooms for The Montella were at IFC in Sungei Kadut and Kaki Bukit actually, we visited the IFC the next week to check out their design. The salesman Adrian attended to us was ok, attitude good, but heard some complain about him on forum. As we're still not certained about the no of roll we want, we didn't confirm the design and make full payment (delivery about 3 weeks after full payment made), but tentatively it'll be the following one:

My husband was attracted by the design of their sofa when we were in their IFC showroom, but as I've seen bad comments about their furniture (e.g. delay delivery), I did not agree on buying it. Also the sofas were mainly made by fabric (Adrian said is special fabric that water will no go in if you spill water on it), the price could be $2.8k above, to me, a fabric sofa is still fabric, it can't be more expensive than cowhide leather right?
We did not choose the above design in the end, for our review and the final design, please click

For my sofa and dining table, I bought them from Malaysia, you may click
