Looking forward to the "Scandalous" visit.

hmmm not sure what your contractor means by not 100% smooth, cos our's is pretty smooth after all the grouting has been applied! Our toilet doors are PD doors, so it can open fully. Not a problem But you're right, if it were sliding it would be very difficult to go in and out. I'll inform you, Songz and OceanEleven about the house visit! akan datang! PM me your number? Sorry to hear about your aircon trunking! It's definitely one of those things that you don't really consider under you actually have to do it. It really was a headache for us too. I had to get them to stop work halfway so that we could re-plan the route. It looks like yours has already been fixed up though, so boxing it up will be the way to go. A lil bit more money to spend I agree, but it's better than living with an eyesore. For the MBR trunking, not advisable to tile over it, but for the drainage pipe, definitely better to reroute it to a drainage hole in the ground.

Haha! ya... I think im going to turn into a taobao house. LOL

Just do a check on the painting job (During daytime) esp corner since its quite a rush job for them (*Juz my 2 cents worth)

nice nice

Kitchen cooker area before and after.

Yard looking out at kitchen before and after. Kitchen wall removed and the whole place looked much more spacious and brighter. Kitchen sink area before and after. Kitchen is much brighter after wall removed.

Yard toilet before and after. Removed wash basin and WC for a more bigger space to bathe the dogs. Another set of wash basin and WC also means more money to buy and install them, and subsequently more time and effort to clean them. The only minor inconvenience is, during renovation and subsequent delivery and installation by various groups of people, they always requested to use the bathroom and they had to use the common bathroom. Kitchen looking out at yard before and after. Installed a door between kitchen and yard, to keep out outside/downstairs noise and haze. There are no windows at the yard, it's good to ventilate the dogs area, but because i'm on a low floor, the noise from downstairs is really loud. The door is mostly left open, unless we need some quiet in the house such as when the child is doing his homework or when the haze is really bad and we switch on the aircon.

Going to do a series of before and after photo posts, and share some thoughts on the design concept. Bomb shelter before and after. Over the years, I've learnt that things kept in storeroom are things I don't need, they will be kept in there forever until it's time to move. Saw on that many home owners dedicate a room to their pets, so I decided to do the same and converted the bomb shelter into the dogs room. Also, there is already a small storeroom to keep luggages and brooms. Yard before and after. Was thinking to remove the bomb shelter door, but that's probably against the rule. I liked the black and white checkered floor, was thinking to use this in the bathroom but it would go against the general theme of the house. In the end, I used it in the dogs area as it is quite an independent area from the rest of the house. I really like the look of this flooring, but the black part of the tiles are harder to maintain as it shows water marks and dust.

Hi Leon n Jenna, Can send me ur quote n Calvin contact? Planning to head down to discuss with him. Thanks.

For the photo frame? No I didn't use oil or water sealer. It was just an impromptu work in the midst of the chaos of transferring paint. For the colours, credit must really go to my contractor assistant. When she passed me the Dulux booklet to choose colours, she suggested the colours for my master bathroom, common bathroom, living room, kitchen and yard. I went back and had a hard time choosing colours for master bedroom and the other two rooms. For the rest I decided to use her suggestions. It was not easy to visualize the colours just looking at a small patch in the booklet. Finally the result for both bathrooms turned out really great. Exactly what I had wanted in the first place. The code name for the bathroom is Maldivian Cloud. The colour from the website is quite different from the final colour on the wall. As for teal colour, code named Private Lagoon, it was used in the third bedroom which I previously didn't post any pictures of because it was used as the "storeroom". It was very messy with boxes of unpacked stuff like this: It has since been cleaned up (as much as I could) and now houses a TV. Still messy with the big TV and soundbar boxes which I'm supposed to keep for 7 days in case of problem with the appliances.

For the rooms, I kept the aircon units from previous owner, so nothing was done there. For the living room, the trunking travelled from aircon ledge through the false ceiling in the kitchen to the top of the hallway. Mostly concealed. Different houses have different layout, will have to rely on contractor to plan the best route. You got your aircon man already? I thought mine was quite good. If you want can pass you his contact.

hey you're right, it does look like our mirror! Colour about the same too. Good buy for the price I've meaning to test it out too, but having trouble since all the instructions and voices are in Korean Will get hold of an English manual and finally put it to work. Definitely haven't forgotten about this!

i was thinking, when not in use, i will either put it perpendicular to the shoe cabinet (the area might be too cramp after though) or in that alcove in the living room.. but scare that that might make it look even more like altar space as i wanted to put mirror on top of that table.. it might reduce the living room, but just a little bit only, however, i believe it will cost a few hundred to cover it up.......

Sunset view from my house..love it...
