Wow.... grand dining area. I have seen in hotels as their feature walls, but I'm not sure if it's quartz or just craftstones. Now I'm actually seeing your house with quartz feature wall. Cool! And it sparkles!

Maybe he uses baking soda for cleaning purposes?

To remove the stubborn stain, leave the baking soda paste on the stain for 15-30mins and wipe off as per what the video says. It should remove the rust stain completely from your countertop.

Watch this video too: How to remove rust stain from your countertop http://www.ehow.co.uk/video_4766902_removing-rust-countertops.html

Read this: Oxalic acid removes rust http://www.factsfacts.com/MyHomeRepair/RustStains.htm Sodium Thiosulphate will react with the oxygen from the iron oxide (rust) to produce iron sulphate, which is pale green, but soluble, so washes out.

Alternatively, paint white.

Can scrub away the rusty stain mah? Use magic sponge

Custom made TV console very expensive. Our TV console for 2.1mtr is only less than $700. We saw somewhere selling 2.5mtr for less than $700. If Lorenzo don't have something we want, most likely we go back to the other place to get the long tv console.

I think their utensils are not 18/10 stainless steel. It is possible that their stainless steel material is 18/0, which may turn rusty after some time.

Bad News Lorenzo called Hubby this morning and said that our TV console shipment will be delayed to June due to the batch of furnitures (including our TV console in that shipment) that they received was badly manufactured, and have a lot of problems, so they rejected the batch of shipment. Therefore we can only receive our TV console in June. If we do not wish to wait, we can go to their showroom to choose another set of TV console, but if there is price difference, we need to top up additional. We managed to negotiate that we will try our best to pick another TV console set from them, but if we really cannot find anything that we like from their store, we want them to refund full payment to us, so that we can go somewhere else to get our TV console. The sales lady agrees to our request. What a day....

If I donate the things out, the people who receive it will curse me for sure.

Another long story. We intend to leave everything behind and throwing away our clothes, books, bags, etc. Nothing is to bring over to our new house. No choice, got to buy another new table to sayang liao.

Sway loh...... I didn't know TV spoilt got free replacement. Warranty got cover to that extend? Heeee.... Then I want to spoil my TV at the third year, then get new TV set

Hahaha.. I also don't know too. The 3D designs look too real to believe. Our kitchen layout is quite long and narrow. If we build an island in the centre of the kitchen, I wonder how to walk. If guests gather in the kitchen and dine together, they will block the passage way for the other person going to the common toilet. Another thing is that, with the island, maybe the ID intends to make the island nearer to the left side (using our floor plan), and make more space to the right. But won't it be too squeezy when cooking? As my kitchen cabinet base is built up, I can see the L-end already blocking quite a fair bit of space in the kitchen.

Funny ah, why they don't start the tiling in kitchen, bedrooms or toilets first? Why they start to do tiling from front door? Everyday they step in and out of the house, the front door tiles will easily get hollow. Do check the tiles especially near the front door for hollowness.

We SMS or call our contractor almost everyday on the renovation process and schedules. But he is not everyday going to my house to check, so we can't get updates from him daily. We are not very concerned about this too, because we are staying in my parents' house, which is two blocks away from our new house, so everyday after work, we can go to the house to check.

Good good. When is the renovation starting? My mum said this Sunday Qing Ming is over. Maybe start after Qing Ming?

Some of the items I saw Ikea online but they don't in their outlets. They never update their website.

Hehehe.. This table accompany me during my study revision and my meals time so must sayang it.

You check with your ID first. From what I see, they cut the tiles and make the side round to fit the pipes. The lines are too straight to be cracked

Which area are you staying? Looks like the buildings are newly painted and clean.

I like the foyer light. So beautiful. How to maintain? Can dip in water to wash and wipe dry?

Can ask for more? I also want.

Hubby said that wall between the door opening to window can fit a 3mtr table, I was like (sure or not?). Later I will go up and take measurement again. Today on leave. My current room (my mum's place) I am using Ikea normal table. When I place a cup of cold water, and when I remove the cup, got one bump float up. Probably due to the water sips into the wood laminate. Very lousy material, and some parts the laminate is coming off. But it's okay lah, $59 can use for 1yr+, this table has done its best for me. I still the table.

Those long handle bars are not cheap and he gives you FOC! I like the long bars! So far does the handle bar obstruct your way when you are preparing meals or accidentally knock the bars? My hubby is worried about additional handle bars may obstruct the way, but I don't think it will and kitchen cabinet looks nicer with handle bars
