    Riving my t-blog because there will be a renovation part 2 (albeit a minor one) after moving in close to a year! We or rather i, have decided to overlay my living and bedroom tiles to laminated wood flooring after moving in close to a year! This came rather late because over the past year, i have seen how my tiles behaves and i sort of cant stand it! It is matte & white hence any stains will be very obvious and visible. I have a patch of brown coloured stain in one of the bedroom and it cant be removed even with magic sponge. Another reason is because of the grouting! OMG how i hate to see different shades of grouting everywhere i walk. grey,white,cream,black... i cannot see myself squatting there scrubbing the grouting with a toothbrush. haha! This is really irritating! So i decided to splurge a little on overlaying wood laminate flooring and decided to do some research and get quotations. //// Vinyl wood tiles is available in TB and is so much cheaper than what is quoted locally but i cant find a tiler who can assist to do the overlaying hence i have no choice but to engage a local company. //// i choose laminated wood over vinyl because both are quite similar in terms of anti stain, anti bacteria, slip resistance etc. The only main diff is vinyl is supposedly 100% waterproof (but i dont get why it cant be used in toilets?!) and the other is water resistance. Pricing wise is almost 50% difference. I have asked around and decided to engage a local company whose pricing is quite friendly to the pocket and of course they provide good pre-sales service so far which i am quite particular with. They entertain all my questions and patiently explains the differences between vinyl and laminated wood to a noob like me. The works will be scheduled on 30th Apr(which is next weekend!) Till then, i will review and share more photos of my not so new home! /// to add on, all the Taobao items which i bought last year is still in good working condition. nothing has broken yet (cross fingers). i wont do a one to one review on each items so if anyone is interested in a particular item and its review, do let me know!

    Well said Peachydurians! I also notice that some of TS posts are quite negative anyway, it boils down to our own preference.as long as the owners are happy, that's all matters. ultimately, you will not be the one living in there. i would love to see how would TS house look like.

    Hello! I did not purchase the black conduits. I informed my electrician that i wanted black conduits and they just fixed up for me while pulling the electrical wires. HTHs. @Del8 rainshower link: http://world.tmall.com/item/35517712316.htm?id=35517712316&spm=a312a.7716974.0.0.lpCvck&_u=p1jv6jeh2134 @Muffinkins It's not too late! you need to do some research and compare between different shops! you can start to scout if you have your theme in mind! ^^

    it does comes with drawers. You just need to let your contractor know where do you want the drawers to be located.

    Hello! Been almost 6months since we moved in and my taps/sinks/drawers are still in very good condition. Read from other thread that the owner experience frequent choking using their sink but i do not have such issues. I dont wash the food remains down the sewage per say. Rusting did not happen yet (i hope not!) only the watermarks are an eyesore to me after using it. So far non of my TB items failed me so i am consider super lucky? ^^

    I love your moodboard! and i like your floorplan that the kitchen wall can be hacked and maximize the kitchen space which makes me envy! Camping to see your progress!
  15. xhomesweethomex
    Looking at your moodboard, darker tiles will suits your theme better and yes, darker tiles will make your place looks smaller than it is. ultimately choose the one which you would love to wake up to every day!
