  1. Tks. A gift from friends. Bcos of it, I'm starting to collect teapots
  2. And finally hubby set up the tv system and we cleared the boxes hogging at the stairway area Contemplating if we should mount the tv on the wall. Lotsa space for furry friend; will soon put up wall decal on the glass door and wall next to storeroom door My love for white, glass, rose decor
  3. Living room taking shape But the pix din show the boxes at the other side of the room My love for rattan The moment I unwrapped the sofa,my dog immediately choop her seats
  4. The power of spray hose It's a tiring day of scrubbing probably one the dirtiest place in the house. We closed the windows and sprayed at the roller shutter. For once you,don't mind dirt rained downed on you as you see the shutters now look new despite being 13years old My mini toilet. Looks completed but nope... Tap not connected.
  5. Love all the wood grains used in your horse. Lovely I like the magazine rack below yr breakfast counter. Where did u get it? Yr parents bathroom is exactly the same as mine. You find it crampy?
  6. Hi I've just completed my EM Reno (quite near yr place) ; w/o changing flooring of level 2 and living room, I already took 8weeks as there needs to be more coordination given its 2 levels. So it's been to give yrself a bigger time buffer. Will be good to discuss yr piping and wiring early with yr id as once the frenzy starts , you can't think clearly. All the best.
  7. Hi Tks for visiting my blog and glad we share common likes. Yes we were initially worried the sliding door will make the living room crampy. The limitation would really be be your sofa size Getting a 3+2 seater will have this problem unless you flushed both sets to the wall So hv to get an L-shaped or 3+1+1 so you can move the single sofa around My sofa set still under wraps so I have not really sit in the living room to gauge if it's crampy Hopefully i can do so this weekend as update it on my blog We only hv the tv console, a 3+1 seater so it seems okie. But I do know many EM owners who also installed aircon in their living rooms w/o the glass panel to retain the cold air. The room will still be cooling but it runs into yr electricity bill. But do note the glass panel is huge so might be dangerous for kids. Im gonna put up my wall decal soon as my little nephew and nieces pop by often and also my furry fren just dashed around in excitement. As for kitchen, I think one should consider yr lifestyle. It am not a zi char person, primarily boiling soup and simple stir fry so I thought an open concept works for me. But it also means I must be hardworking to clean the lights, the blinds. So I told my part time domestic helper that cleaning the dining and kitchen is TOP priority. I'm adapting a very western style kitchen concept and I get my ideas from magazines like home beautiful, apartment therapy which I read the articles under this iPad apps -flipboard. I will save all the pics I like and periodically run thru them and it kinda affirm wat you really like thru the tonnes of pix u saved. But we must be realistic due to our budget and weather so we can't fully replicate those we see in magazines. Also, hubby always remind me it must be functionall and the state will deteriorate. He din wanna build me a kitchen showroom That's my 2cts worth. Hope to see yr pix soon.
  8. Bento28 Have you seen the painting catelogue and the shades of white? That was really something. Chalk white, creamy white, barley white etc...
  9. Reality vs expectations. I would say 80% Though the laminate wasn't exactly the same, but I'm glad i stick to the theme of white and wood grains And the granite top was a tough choice btw a white solid top Dining : it was tough picking yellow,colour from the Nippon paint catelogue. So we went for tangerine which is safer. It carries a strong tint of yellow. I love my dining room ambience (less the current mess) The Venetian blind just blend in well with the dining we and the wall colour Can't wait to put up the white decor I bought. The table runner, the white candle stand, a pot of peach /pink rose bouquet... So a big sigh of relief. Thanks to all who pm me to cheer me on. I'll be still blogging at my own blog and be less frequent on this t-blog. Keep a lookout of my gdn and be most glad to share tips and even plant cuttings And no need to ask me who's my renovator. I won't recommend lest u want a $10k savings in exchange of gek-sim-ism
  10. And finally my world is up (bit not running) It din dawn Upon me that is no gas supply so i,quickly called city has and earliest is fri. I thought I could stop eating packed meals Dining room Just need to extend the table , set the chairs, remove the plastic on the lights..and we are ready ... Sliding glass panel **** room. This is a mustery to us as throughout the discussion, there is no drawing. Renovator just keep,saying its top track sliding. Initally we had a shock when the installers say it was,completed as seen below So tml should be the final installments of Setting up master toilet, the washing machine , drill holes to hang whatever is needed. But the mess will prod stay for another month at the balcony. The final final installment should be setting up my gdn which is temporary sitting at the corridor.
  11. I did not renovate one of the bedrooms so we used it to store big bulky items like our tv console, queen sized bed But my family staying at another place for past years and leased out our EM so once our tenant moved out then we renovate.
  12. Moving closer to the finishing line Installation of granite top in kitchen Kitchen island - poor workers huff and puff to lay this one big piece. Over to the wet kitchen Left with mounting the kitchen hob. The washing area Left with the tap, handles for the top cabinets; we used to have a stainless steel bar and remote removed it So gonna buy another price. Installer suggested to do a L finishing on the left next to the washing machine. This is to prevent water from spilling I did not opt for kitchen top over the washing machine in any case I change to washing machine that might be top load or taller.
  13. Hi Wonder anyone knows where I can get a reliable glass maker who can cut a tempered glass top for my square table? Tks in advance
  14. It's so true that curtains and blinds can shape a house And my purple resting place
  15. hi yes you def must allow both doors of the side by side fridge to open fully I'm using one at my current place and the right door cannot open fully; I still can put n retrieve stuff but I can't take the drawers out to wash :-( so in my new place, I settled for 2 doors; I must say it feels food to open fridge doors with both hands and hv a full view of yr stocks yea, if u like walnut then go for it; I like the cosy resort feel and I'm still using this colour in my current Reno think walnut is timeless.
  16. random shots love this light and would love to hv it all over e house but this was e last piece loves white & colonial style realized there is a strip of unpainted wall and super obiang so shift out the fridge to do touch up this will be my daily bfast & dinner view moving version 1 precious plants (5% of actual gdn) , work clothes, laptop, personal documents
  17. at least I see my haven taking shape. waiting for the granite top and few more steps to finishing line
  18. Hi (sorry if I hijack the session) KDK sell such exhaust fan; can't remember the price I hv them in my current toilet as well as my new place It removes moist and yeah so far I dun see the water vapour on the mirror. http://www.singaporehandyman.com/Fan/ventfan/window_mount.htm Hope that helps
  19. I had the same encounter particularly with the white smooth surfaced tiles as it's obvious they protrude out. I insisted to replace those pieces that are at shower area. Strangely for the non smooth surfaced, the protrusion wasn't that obvious.
  20. Hi I just called moonlight to service the rolle shutter at my balcony; they provide installation and maintenance service. Mine has 2 panels controlled using one motor. One panel can't hoist down. Paid abt$200+ Contact: 98350055
  21. Thanks thanks. U also find it snail crawling yah...
  22. We can plan a lot but sometimes, faced by limitations , we adapt Similarities :99% similarities: 1% Really dunno wat happen. Renovator blah blah abt support , stability & abt Sliding door is a waste of $$$ and the design evolves into just a normal bookshelf. I just hope my range of books will just dress up the shelves.
  23. A closer look at,wardrobe laminate. Love the feel of wood grains Study room is up and ready ; din turn on flash on camera so shot is a little dark And they will only be back on fri to do the kitchen. Sigh... Snail contd to crawl
