See! So you do have something really going right for you! Your marriage getting stronger! And that's way more than what some people can hope for Some things happen for a reason and maybe that could be one of them. Yes do watch out for seemingly dangerous places if you're recovering k? Or maybe try not to go out too much for a while? Or go out with people and not alone for a while so at least there'll always be people at your side to help. Well.. I know that money problem is bad. I'm facing some of that myself. but well, savings are set aside for rainy days... otherwise why do we save for? So using some of it when you're sick and need it urgently is a pretty reasonable reason ba. When you take good care of yourself and your health improves I'm sure you can save the money again. Bunbun is so right. Often we're able to dish out advice to people. but when we're down, it's so hard to do what we preach. I'm sure when things are good for you you are able to say what we're saying too. And I'm sure if anyone is down in the dumps here, you'll do the same for them likewise.

It's a lamp table??? SO NICE!!! Where did you find such a gem? It'll make a nice bedside table!!! And I love that retro chair!!

I know what you mean. I hate regretting. Thanks mmycheng. Ok After a lengthy discussion... Some of our tiles are below $3 which is the limit he gave us. We're hoping that that's leverage for our discussion with the contractor.. to absorb the cost of these tiles. If the top up is $100 (and below) it'll be the single tile theory. If not, we'll revert to picture two (with the orange tile format)

Mandy & Lincoln - Renovating Our First Home

Are your phones cordless? am thinking of getting for my home too. hehe looks cordless to me. -
MMm Thanks Jiahui! Pebble wash through does seem like a reasonable option however from what I know it costs about $6/psf ... mmm a little more ex. I can prolly get the contractor to absorb a little if I don't use so much pebble wash. hehe thanks though.

NEED HELP!! My dad is a firm believer of fengshui. But for this house he also compromised on some things. but there is one thing he cannot accept. And that is if ANYTHING "cuts" the main doorway of the house. Let me illustrate If we use 600X600 tiles to path the hallway leading from the main door the two tiles will form a line which divides the doorway into two. This is what I mean by "cutting" the doorway. Another way to lay the 600X600 tiles.... With one tile in the centre and cut another one into halves to fill up the sides... technically now it cuts the doorway into three. He reluctantly said that this seems ok.. but there are SO MANY grout groves with this method and it'll be super dirty. Our initial solution To use 600 X 1200 tiles to line the entire thing. The tiles are about 2ft X 4ft. The problem with this... is that the tiles are VERY expensive. They cost from $10-$12/psf. Which means it'll cost roughly $700 to tile up the hallway alone (picture not drawn to scale) SO EXPENSIVE RIGHT??? urgh nearly fainted when I was doing mental calculations at the store. So far out of the 4 tile shops we visited, Meisin (Defu lane) has Spanish tiles (5 colours) at $12.50/psf LSH dun have Hafary (Balestier) has Italian tiles (2 colours) at $11.50/psf SBH (Katong) has China tiles (black but smooth) at $10.50/psf Sigh So I was thinking of other alternatives... 1) Pebbles - will be easily dirty? and aren't very cheap also. 2) Slightly shorter tiles about 800mm and with mosaic/pebbles to fill the sides? - same disadvantages... 3) Laminate - the foyer area is for people with shoes... occasionally will get wet and get some sand. The laminate wun last long. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Any other suggestions??

mmm I went to your blog but only saw a few entries. no link to click to previous ones. Got any to share?

Welcome!

Lol. I also went to count slowly what each and every point will be for, keeping worrying that we wouldn't have enough. hahaa
-
Don't worry! I'm sure the dining set will come just as you want it ok? Every renovation has its setbacks and as long as you slowly find solutions for each your house will still turn out alright!!
-
So sweet... yes it's so meaningful to have the chairs there... I just realised something... I love how the mirror makes your place looks so big but... I'll never have it cos I'll be very scared. hahahaha if my family members walk behind the sofa I'd scream! The doggie is so cute!! in the perfect spot to help form the picture.

Whooohoo tomorrow going to LSH and Hafary to see MBR tiles and tiles for the foyer! Going to bed!!! hahaha Dunno. Cos at first contractor ask his tiler to call me to arrange. Tiler picked us to come here. So at first we tot only can get from here... In the end when the contractor appeared... he laughed and told us to go to any tile shop we wanted and just get the model number and he will order and arrange for delivery. hahaha So tomorrow LSH AND HAFARY! my dad went to SBH before and he didn't like the tiles there... so not going liao.
