  1. I didn't do it for kitchen and toilet as they're heavily utilised. Long term, it may create holes from dropped crockeries or utensils. And holes will scratch your sole if not careful.
  2. Here's the breakdown of the fans. KDK v56vk S$190 / R$470 includes U-hook KDK v60wk S$230 / R$560 includes U-hook Dealer name: YES Electrical Supply, 5 mins drive from checkpoint Address: 22, Jln Serampang, Taman Pelangi, 80050 Johor Bahru, Johor. Phone: 07- 3339900 Have to call to check availability and reserve stock. Fan box is relatively big, remove box before packing in car to save space. Payment by cash only, Ringgit or SGD. Self-installation summary: Tools: 1x powerful hammer drill for ceiling u-hook, 1x test-pen, 3x wire connector, 1x philips screwdriver Time: 1/2-1 hr per fan incudes drilling Difficulty: medium, requires knowledge of drilling, connecting electrical wires, and not colour blind to differentiate wires. Note: To prevent fan from wobbling, ensure that surrounding area meets the minimum required distance. Extra Note: read installation manual thoroughly before installation
  3. It's a success, except that in your case, copon polyurethane cannot be used in your toilet. Check out my reno blog. I would suggest quicseal 107, penetrating sealant, instead of 108 as it will too slippery for your toilet.
  4. I believe I have the exact same sliding door, except that it's bigger. Top-hung, same mechanism, 12mm thick tempered glass, very heavy. Will pm you the contact. Good luck!

  7. It's Minoura 2 bike tower, I bought it 3 years back, should be $120-150 from local bike store. No drilling required, spring-loaded tower, floor to ceiling. Do take note of maximum ceiling height limit before purchase. Good luck!
  8. Hi Lilithfiend, I applied copon polyurethane on the floor as I wanted a transparent and matte sealant. But it seems to be peeling out like wax right now, so I may have to reapply another layer when I'm free. Kitchen was newly tiled as we needed a heavy duty flooring. Subway tiles and hexagonal mosiac tiles were both very costly, but we loved it too much to not do them. Just visited your blog, did you apply 108 on your flooring? Cos, there's also 107, which I'm considering right now, penetrating sealant.
  9. Yes, it includes grille and window. I'll send you the contact and you decide.
  10. We cook every day, other pots and pans that are not used very often are kept in the cabinet. We thought about it as well.
  11. Yep! You must be an ikea fan too, to know the nitty gritties.
  12. Super solid timber, takes 6 men to carry one.
  13. I got it from Helping Hand, $290. I love the raw-ness of the bench, it's heavy heavy teak wood. Every piece is unique, so if you're not hard-up for time, just wait for every of their shipment and decide. Shoe rack is from USA, Container Store, currently my favourite shop in States. Forgot the brand, it's 36 pair over door shoe rack, at the price of US$30, S$40. Good luck!
  14. AQ! Haha, I'm setting up a vivarium once I get my wedding done in oct. So tiring, house and wedding, and then kids soon. Gone are the days of having all the time to myself and the fish tanks.

  17. The condition of the flat is original as it's only 2nd hand. Here are the floorplan of before and after. As my fiance and I are the only occupant, we decided to hack down the common room to make our living room BIGGER. Before: After:
