oh, earthy color, but the combination vy comfortable, makes u feel relax whn u enter the house !! yah! same fridge, how much u bought? i got it fm harvey norman at $1000 which i find it quite a good bargain coz of the stainless steel classy look.......n the good news is NO PROBLEM wif the fridge, ehhehe, n sumore 1 time i close it not tight rite, then it started to sound beep beep beep, wah, so hi-tech man......ekeke

hahaha.......=D yah mint, the mao mao chung at 1st very hard to find, everywhere we go, it's orange color, then after we bought it, everywhere we go we saw it, sumore in full range of colors, i prefer white, very nice, but i dun haf the "fur dropping" problem leh, mebe u try throw in the washing machine to wash a few times, till all the bits fall off...hehe the placemat u mus go raffles robinsson, coz somerset wan dun haf, n comes wif a wide range of patterns... n also jus in case u need an oil bottle.........i bought a glass wan fm vivo daiso at $2, then i saw exactly the same thing, same design n pattern selling at robinson for $30over dollars a pair lehhh..........

very nice home dodo, like ur color combination, very matching, regret i never color few of my wall brown like urs, looks vy classy....... n ur chandelier is sooooo envious

good stuff to recommend to everyone!! got good lobang mus share share ma, hehe this cups bought from robinson at $4 each......cheap n nice, but not glass material, haf to handle wif care this table mat also fm robinson, $1.25 only! cheap rite ....n look more designer also those container all i got fm daiso at $2each, vy good material, made in japan, worth buy ...so ur things will b more organize, get rid of those ugly plastic bag this i think most haf it at their home, , boxes from ikea, few dollars onli, good for storage, avoid everyday usage, coz easy to wear n tear this is highly recommended, pigeon hole from giant or any diy shops, can store ur keys, coins, all those small small items that u alwiz left around the house, makes ur house more tidy, n also u dun need to find the whole house for things u alwiz tend to misplace, get what i mean worm rug fm giant/aussino/ cash converter, designer look at affordable price, better than those ahma rug rite :wub:

:P hehe, thankz apple happy, k, u go look out, can ask for ernest, my interior. cwchua7, nice kitchen sleek n modern, ur fridge looks like mine leh, but i notice the brand is diff, babyfolio huh? babyQ, wah, quite x leh, i remember last time i was quoted around 1k plus for that size, i also feel expensive liao, in the end bought from vhive at 450 nia, display set though ( cant compare wif urs !! ......)

Hey happy, looking around for quotation huh, mus be tiring, n the worst part is, ur reno havent even started be mentally prepared ohhh, renovation is not a bed of roses ........okla, dunwan to scared u la, juz that im a typical person who will compare anything b4 i pay for it, from things as minor as a bottle of shampoo........hehe so.. i went for a few id, mostly thru newspaper........but to cut thing short, i engage wif this current id thru a recommendation from a colleague. 1. He's an id/contractor, coz he seems to bao suah bao hai, hehe, 2. Expensive or not? so so, coz i show him other quote that i got, he never reali reduce for me which i expect him to do so.........he kp on say kenot too low la, u wan quality or quantity in the end, he ask us to save up on things like window grills, no nd to change, he wash for us, then hack off our kitchen wall, so idea also change alreadi, cant reali compare wif the other quotes i got. so price more or less the same, but he let me choose more expensive tiles than my previous quote, n a free toilet bowl n some toilet accesories 3. Overall i cant tell the rating coz tis my 1st time renovate, nothing for me to compare, u noe what i mean rite. but not much big problem i say. what we ask for in the quotation is what we get lor. the thing i like about him is that, he vy detail. eg. he will ask us b4hand whr we wan to put our switch, how we wan to lay the tiles/laminate, the size of our drawer, thn he advice us to do box-up for our toilet coz he show us pic of those that nvr do, which is quite ugly, etc. but i duno, mebe other id also got like that, hehe.... 4. Yah, near mrt, u noe amara hotel? opposite amara hotel got lots of shops like fairprice, etc. it's over there. Oh, yah, the whole reno cost me like 20k, urs 3rm too? or u wan to take a look at my quote to compare wif urs? let me knoe if u do babyQ, so niceeee, jus as i expected, coz nothing can go wrong wif that laminate, hehe......in fact i wanted my whole kitchen to b that laminate, but my hubby say NO muz b expensive, coz ur wardrobe look huge by the way, how come u got pink smiley face wif love wan? how come i dun haf hmmmm, i duno wor, the id jus ask "u wan ventilation fan for both toilet?" then i say yes, then its there alreadi...........i think hardware shop got sell bah, or those fan shop, u knoe? those hanging lots of fan outside the shop

hi spam and chop, drop by ur place hi applefreak & MaCe, u're here too........don tell me u guys become so fren thru renotalk i luv the dog so much , izit teacup pomeranian? wah, u guys even import pets, is this a tai tai club?

Wah, this renotalk make feel so warm and homely... thankz spam n chop cute name, nick name or real name?

pepsb, actually ah, it's jus the same theory like lighting point and fan point, run the wire to the ventilation fan, then the switch on/off is outside of the toilet , together wif the light switch but the wire in my toilet cants be seen bcoz i got do false ceiling, so it is hide inside the false ceiling......

okie, i decided not to reply one by one, coz the pic will keep on repeating, flooded... hongss, i think the fan is jus screw up the box, u can jus ask ur electrician or ID to install it for u since they need to run the point for u...... u can still open the window, but not to the maximum, mb 80% MaCe, thankz sime, no problem. good idea are meant to share babyQ, don't make me hate u........it mus be gorgeous, show me the pic

hi applefreak, drop by to visit ur house aka blog........hehe i've came across ur blog last time n got a shock when i saw 69pages........ u reali deserves the title "renoholic", ..... nice house, love ur kitchen n ur tofu drawer vy much......and ur floor tiles are whole marble? whoaaaa, rich

Hi pebsb, This is not a kdk, some erm 'non-branded' ventilation fan, hehe, yeap, it wasnt attached to the window, coz i heard that it is illegal to do so, if hdb ppl come check, they will ask to remove, so i did not do the glass thing, thou i think that is nicer, depends whther u wan to take the risk or not, coz for me, it wasnt that important as long can ventilate my toilet, looks cute also, coz small small like that, hee no nd attached wan, jus hang thr, then the electricity point come from the false ceiling/box-up(duno call which 1) then can on off frm outside switch, i think cost less than $50 like that, not ex wan. and since we r talking bout fan, let's tok bout my living n room fan, very cute n nice i think, but i bought it expensive for $180.......later i saw other electricity shop sell it for $150 oni. so next time if u guys buy, remember to find $150 k Wah, applefreak, u muz b a renoholic, so fast reply, hehe......yah, i think its called ABS trimmings, sounds like i heard that name b4 !!

Thankz sime, i've been having trouble finding a rite dining table for so long, then in the end i had this idea of asking my id to make 1 so that i can have the size n pattern that i want, the upper part is actually a laminate, i choose a victorian white, black also vy nice, but my house too many black furnish alreadi..... the leg is bought fm ikea for $5 each, the top cost me around 280, then i ask my id to fix it for me lor, so evything is around 300, !! take a closer look at the pic below. Chair is from v.hive, they haf very nice designer looking chairs, look like those from Space, but at a more reasonable price, hehe, $49 each.....thy got others transparent wan also vy nice, now thy having sales, u better quick, coz i bought that few weeks ago d.......

Thankz applefreak, very nice of u Thankz lifestyle, i was quite satisfied wif the toilet tiles as well coz quite save cost, and end up quite matching..... !! Happy, This is the joint line u mean rite? Nope, cant see the inner wood. i knoe what u mean, some laminate btw the joint can see the wood, but actually this can be eliminate when the smaller part of the laminate is not actually a laminate, it's other thing, i duno the name. Coz i told my contractor i dunwan the joint can see wood, so he say do like this

Haha, thankz thankz 'h4happy', yah, we love designer look, but we got a tight budget, so end up looking simple n ok la..... at 1st we wanted all black, then tot will b too dark, but white afraid that it will stain, so our ID propose us wif a mix design yup, the top part is glossy black, and the bottom is normal laminate, zebrano pattern, our table top is black granite, and the wall is black homo tiles, we use homo coz granite is too expensive for the whole thing =) My camera wasnt very good, those pic taken a bit blur, will post more pics when i take nicer wan, but my room never reali furnish, no $$ liao, hahaha, no nvr take photo.....

it's not easy to post a few pic thru this blog huh..

tada, a small but comfortable place to shower !! , hehe, like the tiles, i wanted a hotel and classy style, n end up wif a cute looking bathroom Another angle of my bathroom, a very tiny vanity bowl, thank goodness my head is not vy big !! And this is a dry concept toilet I even get to see beautiful scenery every night

Welcome to my home! It is a 3room at toa payoh. The 1st picture here is the living area, i hacked off the wall to make it an open concept. The black sofa wif the victorian throw cushion is bought from v.hive. A mirror to make my small little house look bigger =D This fridge is what i love most, hitachi, look so classy And the kitchen cabinet also my choice, black wif zebrano, a little too dark i tot but overall, im still ok wif it A view of my kitchen from the mirror, the 2 door is to the bathroom and toilet
