PM-ed you! =)

Kitchen Sink We made a mistake by purchasing our kitchen sink too early We saw Mayer's kitchen sink + retractable mixer set offering at a very good price. It was a 880mm long double-bowl stainless steel - which looks great. However, we didn't give much thought as to have a top-mount or under-mount sink at that point of time... and this Mayer's sink is an top-mount. After watching many reno shows on HGTV + the opinion from my sister... we now want an under-mount sink >< We thought of just go with the top-mount since we already bought it (non-refundable & already delivered)... but if we want to change to an under-mount next time, I'm not sure can the kitchen top fit. We went to HoeKee to take a look at BLANCO sinks & decided to get a single-bowl under-mount Zerox u700. Heart pain because more money spent... but very happy with this choice as it looks so nice Anyway, we had to cancel 1 set of the Grohe rainshower (mentioned in earlier post), so the price top-up for a new sink is not that much. Win-win eh? haha. Selling... With that, I have 1 brand new double-bowl stainless steel top-mount kitchen sink for sale! I am letting go way below cost price. Please PM me if you are interested! SOLD!

Yes I am! We place it at the entrance linking up to our TV feature wall.

Usually they can store for you for 3-6 months. Everything we bought from HoeKee are like this... so we only pay some deposit. Just need to arrange for delivery 5 days in advance + paid up the balance before delivery. Those from Amazon are small items, so it's okay haha.

Tiles Went to Soon Bee Huat to choose our Living room homogeneous tiles. Reason we opt for homogeneous is because we want to have a shiny, classy look (inspired by some photos we saw online). Also, we want to have a different feel between living room & bedrooms - which will be the highly popular & pretty vinyl tiles (aka high resilient flooring). This is what we've chosen for our living room... And while shopping for floor tiles... we saw gorgeous marble-like wall tiles! So end up we added in wall tiles for MBR toilet (><") which was not factor into our initial budget & quotation =X I am a bathroom-person...meaning... every time i went to stay in a hotel, their bathroom is the one that determine is it a WOW or BOO hotel for me. Who don't like posh hotel bathroom? And bathroom is the 1st place we step into every morning in our sleepy state... so wouldn't it be nice to start the day in a pretty bathroom? *trying to justify myself* This was our initial choice for MBR wall tiles... However, after looking at the 3D, it seems a little too dramatic for the entire bathroom (the above photo can't really tell... but there's a lot of details on it) We went down to Soon Bee Huat again to take a look...and decided to change to something more simple & elegant with 2 colors... Both living room floor tiles & bathroom tiles had arrived on site 2 days ago! Shall go take a look this Sunday

TRYING to be calm... and i realized t-blogging does helps! HAHAHA. I think women tends to think more into the details/process and suddenly many "???" pops out of no where? lol. My husband cool like a cucumber leh. hahaha.

Thanks OceanEleven! That's good to know! Will take note to clean it often I guess all the food residue might drop inside when washing uh?

Thank you bykaraanne & Changbp for explaining! Anyway, I've asked le husband to do what he do best - research & read up on all the technical information we need. And ta-dah! He found these in Bosch Manual: So we can actually use Circulating-Air Mode -> which don't need to use the vent on top of the hood, so no smelly oily air will go into the cabinets. The air which is drawn in will be filtered & come back out from the same place. To get rid of the odors (back into the kitchen), Activated Charcoal Filter must be installed - which is not included in the hood purchase. This can be bought from Bosch SG website or their authorized dealers. It's S$120/set of Activated Charcoal Filter (Model: DHZ2600). The manual said it should be changed every 4 months. I supposed if we don't cook everyday... it can last longer.

Yes yes! Can grill chicken & turkey for Christmas!

Wow thanks for the pic! Will check with my ID. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads-up! It seems like a complicated hood Shall check with my ID. So which option did you choose? Will this affect the fabrication of the cabinet's dimension?
