bykaraanne replied to bykaraanne's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - HDB BTO Interior Design and RenovationWhere got so easy... Sinkies standards are very high!! Will do. Doubt it will though. Many have commented that items are of great quality! That said, if outside rust still nvm can use rust remover from Daiso, is inside rust then troublesome. Haha!

bykaraanne replied to bykaraanne's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - HDB BTO Interior Design and RenovationI'm glad I took that leap of faith!! Thank you. I don't have an ID! I designed the home on my own and hired a contractor. My contractor is Edmund from DX Interior. You can let him know from Kara.

bykaraanne replied to bykaraanne's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - HDB BTO Interior Design and RenovationBeen here since the morning - waiting for someone to collect my old WCs. We sprayed all the handles again for the kitchen, sprayed the final coat for my coffee table... And everything looks great. Will re-spray my bathroom mirror and spray my new bedroom mirror gold, too. I KNOW, a lot of gold. And here's a short video of the fireplace in action: (The fireplace makes no sound - that is ambient noise)

bykaraanne replied to bykaraanne's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - HDB BTO Interior Design and RenovationThanks guys. Yep, most of the holes in the laminates are fixed and hood repositioned. I also feel good about my Blum hinge so hopefully they can get that up for me today after painting the joints Then I can screw in my gold handles alre

bykaraanne replied to bykaraanne's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - HDB BTO Interior Design and RenovationLots of repairs today that was quite good IMO. Was happy with the carpenter boss who did come down before work started to brief them and then again before they left so he could check on the work with us. Really looks much better now. Tomorrow they're dealing the joints of laminates and I bought a Blum hinge for my top cabinet separately (long story) which we will ask them to install tmrw and discount their hinge from the final quote.

bykaraanne replied to bykaraanne's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - HDB BTO Interior Design and RenovationMy doors changed to the right side but as my bifold doors open OUTWARDS instead of INWARDS, my door is inside out. They are not the best of quality I must admit... But it looks ok with the rest of my house. Haha! My "nice" silver handles are inside the bathroom instead of normal ones that are outside. It's a bit weird cus the mechanism of the bifold door is outside instead of inside so it takes a bit of getting used to. But the effect when the door is closed still looks okay to me... If I regret it a bit down the road I might upgrade to a PD door since this wasn't too ex. Can't wait for the doors to be painted (next week, together with my mint main door and touching up the wall paint of the house. The panels are LIGHT GREY not white. The frame is white.

bykaraanne replied to bykaraanne's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - HDB BTO Interior Design and RenovationHaha sorry! The carpentry had loads of defects that sent me down the spiral. It was all fixed today but not without some drama the day before. Glad it's all good now! Thankful for all the support! How's your packing going?

bykaraanne replied to bykaraanne's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - HDB BTO Interior Design and RenovationIt's actually solid top. I've tested it many times before I decided on it. The Quartz counterparts aren't the best IMO, this looks like real marble in real life. Similar Quartz are: caesarstone's frosty carina or London grey Silestone's lagoon or Lyra
