Wonder if anyone keen to buy wallpaper? I ordered 2 rolls - designs not yet confirmed. Can choose 3D, shimmer any pattern. Korea 15.6m X 1.06m. I might need only 1roll as I thinking some other ideas.. $450+$40 for 1roll includes installation n my invoice stated GOOD WORKMANSHIP! Lol..,Sorry, I forced salesperson to write de....

Today wanna share abt the tiles edges - I do not wan PVC trimming so I requested for doing this way.. I understand that homegenous tiles r easier to do but ceramic tiles r not... Ceramic tiles from Spain Homogenous tiles

Hi, go to my blog for tiles pic... A word of advise using black WC - sorry to say tat I used for 8yrs n super tough to maintain! I am switching to white now...

Hi Jon, how r things? Hope all is fine.. I think I am really blessed...The workers r very good! Frankly, my Reno cost is average but the contractor n workers r EXCELLENT! I must compliment their working attitude cos I was there daily n I like that they worked quietly n did calculation of the right way to place the tiles.. 2moro I will take pics from my bro iPhone4 which is clearer to show how skillful the workers r TAT I could do away with PVC trimmings even I choose nice Spain ceramic tiles.. Ceramic tiles r nicer than homogenous in terms of designs. I only compromise on Spain ceramic n not china. For ceramic, I also only use for my common bathroom walls which are not cheap at $4.20psf...The unique tiles n good workmanship already won praises from my next door auntie who is 60yrs old! Stay tune for more updates!!!

Yr hubby n mine must shake hands n be good frens! I love to buy food for the workers n he felt unnecessary too! I ignored n did so myself lor...It's true that they will communicate n verify things on the spot again. Hence, I am also quite pleased with their work...Tiling took quite major time n hardwork n I believed that the workers do deserve it! I am also crazy over dogs! Yr BB is so handsome! So white n furry to hug hug! I got no time to bath my chihuahua today...He is 8yrs old already. I adopted him when he was 5...Dogs r so cute n wonderful companion...

Nice colour combo! Great inspiration! Looking forward to see more...

Hi hi fren! Ok la...everyday update tiles also sianzzzzz....N my iPhone 3G dun take clear pics. Tiling completed wif minimum skirting to b done 2moro!!! Yay! Pardon for poor pics cos NO ELECTRICITY as my hubby fren took so long to complete!!! fed up...He said completed by these 2 days... My bling a bling kitchen flooring...

I am interested...Pls share price..Tks!

Hi mummymantras, tks for dropping by here. I juz felt so glad n relieved that his true colours r revealed b4 I signed on the dotted line..

Hi, he is not selected...It's juz SHORTLISTED...I chose a GREAT contractor and Reno is still going on fine....

JUZ THANK GOD THAT I CHOSE MY CURRENT CONTRACTOR INSTEAD!!! PHEW!

I am so bored 2nite...I tot of penning down some IDs/contractor I met last few months...I am using iPad so not easy to write everything...Pls b patient.. Do not bother to guess or ask me to pm the company cos I believed everyone needs to see for yourself to set one judgement. It's not an easy journey for my ID/contractor selection. I started sourcing in March. I stopped at 3 by May initially n planned to sign on dotted line in June but juz because of this selected one sent us in panic! Something went really wrong...Then 3 have to generate to 15 or more I think cos I was too afraid to sign!!! I was the poor soul to meet up and ID/contractor 1st and they have to pass my test then to meet up with super busy hubby... SHORTLISTED ID Starting with ： THE award winning 'LIAR' 1. RXXXXX This is the 2nd ID I met online here...I like some of the work he done n asked to meet up. 1st impression was excellent. He came promptly n gave gd ideas n claimed he understands wat I am looking for. He was SO enthusiastic over my industrial theme. He was the one I felt so right! Hence, I told him to plan my layout N arrange him to meet up with hubby... Layout wasnt my ideal, ok nvr mind. Quotation seems reasonable n he actually brought up the tiles which he wanna proposed! Wah! Win Liao...Hubby said he is creative n told him that we will help give more ideas to the layout. ID offered to draw up 3Ds FOC before we signed cos he was so confident that he will win us over. We have to wait 2wks for that.. Very happily, I kept sending SMS to him for furniture we shortlisted n discuss over layout etc. Then, dunno he suay or wat. Facebook trouble again! I saw my sons ex teacher engaging same firm to do Reno...She had a different ID though. She was devastated. She asked me to go over n witness the mess. Build in wardrobe must hv a lobang at the side near the wall for keeping iron board? Layout was bad. She was told to use glossy tiles for kitchen wall n bathroom though she wanted country style...ID said no shop carries anymore country tiles! He only brought her to Hafary... Kitchen cabinets - she had to buy knobs from ikea to create country theme for her flat laminate doors...Wash basin was placed above WC so every time anyone stands up, they will knock on the basin...Ok, wonder many blue blacks??? The tiles were placed with wide gap cos ID said tiles need to breathe... carpentry was worst! Doors not closing properly! I knew that my ID is one of the boss so I asked him to assist his staff to rectify the issues. I could see how sad my fren was. ID was so nice n agreed promptly. However, the back stabbing of boss and staff started. Instead of solving issues, they were fighting among themselves. Yes, some issues were resolved but I simply cannot understand. Instead of salvaging the company's reputation, they were spinning stories. No, I wasn't buying or trusting my selected ID anymore. This shows incompetent! I am worried how he is going to handle the contractors if he can't even manage his own employee... Hubby said gave chance till we see the 3D. Nothing of my colour scheme ok! Not even my theme! Not even whatever tiles he proposed...Hey, was it even my house? Last straw, ID said 3D will never b the finishing product n stated artist impression...Sorry lor, I take it as, might not b 100% but at least 80%! Else draw 3D for fun is it??? I told ID I lose confidence in him n he now he turned the table. Became nasty n sarcastic n said must pay for 3D etc...Well, tks for showing yr true colours...Do you know that we do like u alot despite yr layout wasn't fantastic? Even tot of giving u chance...But the lies u spinned. U said same carpentry factory but different workmanship...Well, well...Sorry but I really cannot accept it...

Tks! I really felt so touched that I managed to make some True n Great frens here in renotalk! I promise to visit u some day! How r things over yr side? I am so bored tonite so I tot of penning down some of the rogue/gd IDs n contractor I met...Not easy using iPad but will try...

Hi Hi! Ok lor...A bit slow cos some tiles out of stock so need to wait awhile...Workmanship is GREAT but touchwood 1st hor...Only I hv doubts over my black n white bathroom Liao...Tiles r v nice but...ok, I fickle minded or wat...Shd b orh orh better??? Dun wanna waste $ n the efforts of the workers lor...Hence, keeping it!

Yr cats r so cute! Love the orh orh one more....

Welcome to Sengkang! I hv a feeling TAT u r staying close to me...

Hey, yr Reno progress looks great! Yr hubby is juz like mine n wanted certain things his own way so I also gave in lor..Aiya, let them pay more! Lol!

Hi pentux, tks for yr pm! Ha..old uncle likes bright bright lor..

Initially wanted the nice lights u choose for bathroom but hubby said too dark etc..Dunno wan so bright for wat..In the end, we got a rustic one from ikea instead.. Can pls pm me dining table prices? With chairs???

It's a home sweet home for maomao too! So cozy...Love maomao to bits....

Hi mabaricows! Tks for the reminder. My contractor is more worried than us n instructed the tilers to clean the tiles after laying daily. Our walls are plastered before the floor tiles were laid also. I love the tiles but beginning to worry abt my black and white tiles....hmmmm, it's really nice but maybe juz me lor...Think too much! The workers were all complimenting them too....We also hv special taste!

I used cemented alike tiles for my kitchen Walls n living/bedrm flooring..Turns out Great! Much easier for maintenance too...

Tks so much for all the kind words though I know I hate myself for being so fickleminded! I love the tilers cos the workmanship is really really Great so that might b one of the reason which I will accept everything...Cos blinded by the gd workmanship n their efforts..I mean can make changes but it's waste of other people's effort...Frankly, it's nice la..Juz me me me! The kerb is cos to prevent water leakage as they laid waterproofing there... Contractor said can opt out but it's better to hv it... Well...dunno leh..Already do until the angle so nice somemore...how to hack away???

The aircon trunking will mostly b boxed up...

Today's update...I know my contractor super duper worried abt dirtying my floor tiles cos cannot acid wash... Grouting now changed to darker tone which I like...
