why dun u try flickr or picasa?? It's free.

Thanks...haha..dun know if it will turn out fine or become rojak. Still have not decided on my cabinet laminate.

My ID works very fast.... sometime i have to catch up with him......haha. How come urs still not started tiling? I thought hacking at most take 2 days only. Last i went to check my place, they were four tilers working. Na...i use the tiles as my backsplash. No glass for me and tiles are definitely cheaper. Give give me the cottage feel as well.

During my inspection, i found the subcon left his bag of coffee on my marble floor. What worst was the coffee actually leaks out from the coffee bag and left a stain on my marble floor...siao liao. I'm worried about the permanent stain. Called Donny immediately to raise this issue. Very quickly Donny called the subcon and warned them not to leave their coffee on the marble floor. He also gotten his marble specialist the following day to look into this and assured me that this can be salvaged. It's good to have a responsive and responsible contractor. At least i felt assured things are taken care of.

Windows guys are here to dismantle my windows. Balcony work going to start soon.....my biggest problematic area. It's been delayed cause...raining almost everyday. Actually it looks better with the windows gone..haha.. Have to cover this portion if not rain will splash in. Feel starts coming for the common toliet.

ok some updates on the masonry work The partition walls are up. With the walls separate my wet, dry and laundry area...suddenly feel the kitchen area is bigger. Labyrinth effect. Laundry area Dry kitchen with the brick tiles Wet kitchen

haha...wow 79 is still cheaper than the shops selling here. BTW its S$ not US$ hor?

haha...Thanks jshome..how i wish. Actually not that big lah..the look big in photos only. U hammerer too. I'm ex-hammer, now move back to hammerland. Who knows 5yrs later...we might become thurder again. Hi, had been to Hup Kiong, they have that for wall tile but not the floor. BTW I got my short white brick tile from Hup Kiong. Yup,its about $3plus psf. Thought they selling by per piece. The long one is cheaper. Yup, the brick tile is more labour intensive.

Where u bought the pencil legged chair from and how much?

Haha..the master toilet is the only place i left it to my ID to decide for me. I just want a rustic, resort feel. As long as it's relaxing and clean....to do "business" inside...good for me liao.

Thanks Piknik. haha...can only afford replicate... Should be in the range of $3-4...actual dimension i did not take note. I just chose the tile than matches my design and my ID settled the rest. It's from hafary. Yes, if you do a lot its actually not than cheap which initially i thought it was. The longer one is cheaper, that's why you see i'm using 2 types of white brick tile. H_D_B is full of craps lah. No use one..called them two times and they said it's my own problem. So no choice has to get my contractor to fix it for me. This balcony is my prority. Must do item.

Problem! After hacked the wall, need to cover this area with match marble or other tile. ID suggested to hack the marble at the same row and uses the black tile to act as a divider between living room and dry kitchen.

Nope, two types only. The long one for toilet and shorter one for kitchen. Budget constraint....shorter one more ex.

oh ya...etsy is a good place to source for unique items. I might order some lamps from etsy.

My balcony floor tile. Master toliet wall and floor tile. This one i left it totally to my ID. Hope it will turn up well.

Here is my biggest problem...the leaking and cracking balcony wall... Team DJ (Donny and James) thinking how to solve my balcony wall leaking and water drainage issue. They looked so serious man...hahaha

Ya....sadly...cannot find this size. There goes my checker...

Tiling starts Donny and the tilers discussing how to lay my tiles and the colours of grouting to use. My kitchen tile.

My common bathroom will be europe cottage feel. Wanted to do something like this for my common bathroom but couldn't find the black square floor tile. Went to many tile shops, all not carrying anymore. The closest alternative to my checker pattern will be the over used honeycomb tile. Guess it's my only choice left if i want to achieve the cottage feel.

Thanks bro.

wow bought from oversea. No local distributor? Then your maintenance how? You can store in a water bottle and bring to office everyday mah. Though a bit troublesome to carry everyday..hehehe

Interesting theory. Thanks for sharing.

Yup to have all is more safe, coz our telco loves to play pricing game with us. I'm have been switching between telcos once my plan expired for better package. I would say the local telcos dun really have much CRM, they dun know how to retain old customers. My eletrician ah soon is pretty good, all these details he has reminded me.

wow..where you found all these?? Looks so new and nice....

Siao liao....just realised my kitchen tall cabinet unit is missing from the quote. Just called Donny and James, see what magic they can do for me....praying.....
