    Apple..congrats..Patrick well recommended here and should not be a problem.. Is he doing all the work.?. I find the quotes you posted earlier on the high side and not reliable i.e have to pay to apply for permit..This should be free..

    Wah really like ur doors man. But since ur doors gonna be in white, dat means the frosted glass gonna change to other colours liao. If not there wun be any contrast.

    FSP.. ID actually proposed for light blue tint but wife is against it.. so will maintain the natural colour and will mtach with the white power coated bi-ford toilet and shower door which will also have the same colour acrylic.. my preference is to go for the blue tint but sometime must give way as she agreeded to getting this door instead of the classic door..

    Some update on the reno...

    Wet work all done but found some mistake..The guy got the measurement wrong for the washing machine and fridge base and will be redoing it..

    Washing Machine Base.. Dryer will be stack on top.

    Fridge Base.. The gap between the base and the wall is for the kitchen sliding door..

    13-04-07_1610.jpg

    Rubbish Bin installed..will be covered up by carpentry..

    13-04-07_1609.jpg

    Plastering for whole unit completed and now, all the walls are nice and smooth..

    Have finally selected the colours for the painting work starting this week.. will be using ICI Dulex

    Living Room - Silvermink + SailWhite

    Dining Room - Sail White

    MBR - Mocha Delight + Monsoon River (Earth tone colour)

    Girl1 Bedroom - Pecan Brone + SailWhite (Earth tone)

    Girl2 Bedroom - Pastol Pistachio + Sailwhite (Green tone)

    No more pink tone for the girls rooms as will follow FSM advise..Will replace with pink accessories etc.

    Also confirmed that all my carpentry will be using glossy white liminate i.e, wardrobe in all the bedrooms, study table in the girl rooms, Display and storage cabinet in dining room, TV console, Shoe cabinet and kitchen cabinets.

    As the kitchen floor tile is black and wall tile is grey, wife felt that the tone is too dark and as such, decided to change the colour for the kitchen cabinet glass back splash from Black to Persimmon Berry (Orange).. I think this colour will contrast very nicely with the white cabinet and add a dash of colour to the kitchen.. Hope I'm right..

    Also selected the 3 x bedroom doors.. damage - another $1k+

    Will be in white with double frosted tempered glass

    Really like this door as compared to the normal classic door although it will be cheaper...

    Check thru most before i purchase..down to Rinnai or Cuizano..ended with Rinnai as the hob use inner flame and more efficient use of gas and heat tansfer = saving and faster cooking time.. This is the model that i bought. Cheapest in Poh Joo..

    Ben trust me, when u go to those lighting shops ur eyes like kana block by hantu. Every light oso nice, every light oso wanna buy :good: but then again, lighting is one of the most important item in the house. Nice lighting will really bring out the beauty of ur house. Feature wall will have a total different look with nice lightings :dancingqueen: Having said dat, some things cannot save 1 :D Can't wait to see wat lights u'll be getting for ur already stunning looking house :bangwall:

    FSP..will wear sunglass..hopefully will help..hahah...what u say very true..first thing u see is the light..already spend on the electrical and will be a real let down if the lights not right.. but then $$$$ must go out..so no expensive lighting..I think must search hard for suitable one at the right price.. also easier said that done..as u said, will be very tempted once you see so...let's hope for the best... will update again..

    MaCe...where to buy cheap and nice?

    Thank you! Wow that price is very good.

    Sigh, in the end didn't get to meet the spray paint man cos we were late for the appointment. We got lost on the way to our flat!

    Jia lat, not familiar with the small roads in JW la.

    By the way, has anyone heard of cement screeding or plastering over the tiles in the toilet for an industrial look? We were thinking maybe can paint it after that as well... Instead of overlaying, hacking or painting?

    Hey Ken, if u r thinking of screeding over tile for the toilet, no need to paint as the contactor can mix in the colour before sceeding.. For spray paint over tiles, not recommended for floor tile and toilet bowls/basin..

    Ben...

    WAH!!!! Ur one is definitely more than mine.. Lighting will cost abit.. depends on the design u are going for.. dining light will be ex.. of the ambience... :bangwall:
