  1. Hi...ya we did not apply sealent for the smooth cement screed, the sandy feel is there initially even without getting contact with water but after a while of usage, the surface will become smoother. but the color will become darker too...
  2. Hi dear!!! Wow ur house is transformed! And i would really say the whole design and concept is fabulous just alittle pity on the poor carpentry workmanship. But hang in there, it's ending soon!! All the best!!
  3. Dear, thanks for replying on behalf... I can't agree more. But still I will add on my opinion... 1. Yup the cost is more or less similar - reason like theitsybit mentioned. 2. This point I also agree! Now I also abit regretted not doing white mosaic with black grouting...I'm super paranoid about dirtying the countertop...black tiles looks more classy in a white but white maybe looks more "Japanese and Scandinavia" I regret big time... Think now I like Japanese look lots... But if change to white mosaic countertop then my shiny glass mosaic backsplash cannot do Liao... Cos that class look cannot match... Hahaha...contradict... 3. Ya this wood grain laminate is all time favourite among K's customers le...but if possible then try to discover others cos too overly used Liao... 4. Hacking 1 wall is ex! But hacking more walls is not ex... Becos even if u hack just one small wall, they still need to apply permit for u, bring all the tools and manpower so the basic cost is there already so hacking more walls maybe only add on a few more hundreds.. And yeah.. He is just a contractor and not ID!
  4. Hi those who wanted contacts, I had pm-ed you. Sorry for the delay in reply.
  5. Thanks.. Not really back in action but got a shock when I saw so many unreplied post so die die also must have some reply hehe.. Recently I'm trying to plan a holiday to Taiwan in Nov so spent most of my time doing reading up on that. I just read ur review abt Mr K le.. Honestly I felt exactly the same way like u. Interms of his speed and price. And I also agree on ur point on the hdb license which many also enquired from me. We also heard horror stories for those ID or contractor with license giving problem but nothing much can be done. So I also feel mutual trust is more important. Actually u r very much more detailed than me looking at ur electrical planning and carpentry drawing. All these I never do, so these planning was done by K and his subcon with discussion together with me. I want to go ur house soon!!!
  6. Hi this full height mirror is from my contractor and price is inclusive in the quotation so I'm not so sure of the price for the individual item
  7. this haiku fan i got it from Universal union, but the price is crazy now. my contractor quoted me 1K plus for the 2 toilet doors, maybe you can contact my contractor for the quote the breeze from the fan is light if i'm sitting at my dining table, as my fan is on top the sofa and away from the dining table. actually its personal preference for concrete, I felt concrete kitchen counter is more durable and water resistant especially below the sink area. And I like the look of it. I will Pm you the contacts
  8. bought it at WYNN and it was $2200 after bargain
  9. Sorry for the missing in action, had been busy filling up the place with the small details and preparing for house warming which was completed last sunday. I had also sent PM for all those requesting for contractor's contact, hope its not too much delay to you. If I missed out any pls kindly remind me a little as there was quite a few backlog
  10. I'm using Philips downlight... Dunno why so fast goes off? Hopefully is not the transformer or whatever u call it. If not I got to trouble K to bring his electrician down Ya I got the same worries as u thus I do not have many cove light. And maybe becos I did not have downlight above my head so I find it a little dim especially when I try to use the laptop at the sofa area. Hope u start ur renovation soon, u must be in the final discussion stage. So in the end is K still in ur shortlist?
  11. Hi^^ I nearly missed your T-blog! By the way regarding your questions for my ceiling, I did not have the time to take and upload photos. So I briefly update to u here. For my living room I had one row of cove light in warm light. The cove is for the sofa area and it's quite bright but somehow shadow will be cast on the wall when u on the ceiling fan but I feel is not so serious As for downlight I had 7 at aroun the sofa area, downlight I feel is not as bright as cove light buy downlight will not pose any problem for ceiling fan if u have enough clearance. One of my downlight bulb just went off, no time to change it yet. Btw, have u confirm ur ID/contractor?
  12. This is indeed something that should be kept!! Lovely! But then again TS might not be doing retro and industrial style to match this. Wish her all the best!
  13. Hi fraudster, silentreader and Sago, I had pm-ed you for K's contact. Good luck!
  14. To those asking for Mr.K contact, I had pm all of u...
  15. Hi Possible, I got it from Charislife, you can google their contact and location. I went to their factory location so that u can probably meet the boss and bargain directly.. Good luck !!
  16. Think becos it's very popular now thus many places also selling. Since u still can choose u should look around some more. No prob..
  17. You are eyeing the chrome one which Defelio bought? That one is more ex, whereby the white and black ones are ard $250.
  18. Paloma, itsybit and myself were discussing to drop by ur place sat evening or sun afternoon. What do u think? I told K we having "party" at ur house haha he asked got beer to drink or not whahahaha...
  19. Hi Shazy Actually this phone is VERY commonly seen everywhere now. It's available in all major departmental store like isetan, Robinson, takashimaya and even small boutique store like haji lane etc has it. A little disappointed to find it so commonly available. But still happy I got it for my home due to it's suitability. Cos not many nice wall hang phone around
  20. Actually frankly speaking I prefer your combination le.. I was telling K that this woodgrain laminate seems to match better with white !! Matching with black seems duller.. So I like ur combination better. And ur white counter tiles with black grouts seems easier to take care le. Now I'm quite paranoid with the white grout line turning dirty everytime I cook.. Really need to take a lot of care. Okok thanks for ur welcoming.. I ask K to make appt with you maybe next week if he has the time ^^ hehe.. There's so much at ur place I would like to check out and admire...
  21. Paloma, so you are also intending to ask K to add more things ah.. Glad to meet u that day but paiseh to go up ur place that time cos u had guests with u.. Can I still visit another day?
  22. Yes K used white cement for the grout line for the white Brick wall, cos mine also same.
