  3. The Smart Herb Garden works. I had the plain white original version as I was one of their Kickstarter backer. Sadly, not all their herbs / plants can grow well in our climate.
  4. I would have thought this is smart as the quality of HDB sanitary fittings really CMI. For my BTO, I've actually removed and replaced all the provided HDB sanitary. Well worth the $$$ spent IMHO.
  5. Sorry for late reply. Bring it back as check-in luggage if you are not buying a lot. For bulky items, they can help with the shipping (at an additional cost).
  6. Utensils, lightings, furniture etc very cheap and way nicer that what you get in Singapore. In fact, you probably buy everything in a house (except for the house) there.
  7. Brown - warm colour. Hence, more cozy. Grey - cool colour. Hence, more cool / cold. Both combination will do fine. However, the colour will also depend on the theme of your decor and /or colours of your living room / bed rooms. The colours have to flow and the house has to look coherent as a unit. Otherwise, you risk the whole house looking very tacky. Based on the rest of your 3Ds, I would say brown kitchen fits in better.
  8. It's important to have a place that you like and can live with. No point buying because of price but dissatisfied with the surroundings. Guess you will have to change the title of your thread
  9. Option B. The pros outweigh the cons. Don't use the kitchen cabinets to hide the pipes / trucking.
  10. Can PM me your contractor contact? Need to start planning for the next round of t-Blog
  11. Still sticking to the northeast, in the new town next door. Limited choices and budget highly constraint
  12. Revisiting this t-Blog and oh my, so many queries that I have not answered in the past While I love my place... it is, unfortunately, time to move on. Guess that mean I'll get to start another t-Blog in the near future
  13. Bedroom 3 is the study and walk-in wardrobe. The original door was boxed up and a new door linking the master bedroom and bedroom was opened up: I have approx. 3ft of standing space within the wardrobe. Very comfortable.
  14. thanks for the compliments. i got to check the receipts and they are hidden somewhere now. iirc, the table isn't expensive, but the chairs are slightly more expensive than the normal dining chairs. i bought both items from comfort furniture, along with my orange slice lookalike in the living room. nope. i had boxed up the original entrance to this bedroom and opened a doorway to link up with the master bedroom. in future, if there's a need for this room to be used (as a bedroom), i'll shift the wardrobe to the master (or build a new one). pictures of the master bedroom will be up shortly.
  15. Reflection of the study table on the wardrobe's door: Walk-in portion of the wardrobe:
  16. My study and walk-in wardrobe - during construction phase.
  17. sorry for the slightly late reply. for the questions on cost, i'll have to refer to my invoices/receipts. got to take a while, please bear with me. abupapa: chair was bought from comfort furniture. it's a replica of the pierre paulin orange slice chair. you can refer to their website for their showroom address: http://www.comfortfurniture.com.sg. Foong: i don't think my work on the wall cost $4k, although i need to check to confirm. please bear in mind that there's a difference in cost between an id and a contractor.
  18. the only explanation: it's cheaper to do it this way. unless the carpenter is willing to use the blum tandem boxes, it's difficult to achieve the look. Unfortunately, the tandem boxes are expensive stuff. btw, the mirror at the end of the corridor is a smart idea. haven't seen many owners/ids wanting to use the mirror this way, but glad it work well in your case.
  19. I'm not sure which plastic you are referring to. The LED is hidden inside a frame (with the [ shape).
  20. 1) there are many ways of seemingly having a large kitchen. the most expensive method: get a new house with a larger kitchen. the cheapest method: introduce light to the room to make it appear larger than it actually is. lesson pick up from interior design 101: dark rooms always feel smaller than rooms that are well lit. since the amount of natural light in the kitchen is pathetic in the first place, the wall was hacked to let in more natural light. in addition, the glass wall allows the eyes to roam beyond the walls, eliminating a 'visual stop'. hence, the eyes tell the brain that the kitchen is bigger than it really is because there isn't a 'full stop' to the space, and vice versa when viewed from the other way round (p/s: mirror works on the same theory and does the same trick to the eyes). 2) the flat is designed with a simple mantra, less is more. same goes for the kitchen and that's why you see limited storage space. i believe it's human nature to gather stuff and honestly, 80% of the stuff stored would probably never see the light at the end of the tunnel. if you try limiting yourself to 10 items that you absolutely cannot live without, you'll realise how much stuff you never use but simply want to hoard. imho, when you have more space, you only fill it up with more useless stuff. so, having less space cause you to think about what you need and what you want, as opposed to what to hide where.
  21. Thanks insane. Tell your wife, it's 101% worth it. Probably one of the best decisions that I have taken with regard to the reno. It doesn't cost much (unless you are going for one of those super ex set) but the transformation is amazing. The entire master bedroom toilet feels very different now, a lot more inviting and definitely nicer.
