Fast tiling works!

very nice wall tiles for the kitchen cabinet...hope it will turn out nicer when the cabinets are up!

looking forward! :yeah:

wow...i love the kitchen wall tiles!

Thanks Jessie & Virgo :wub: I really hope they'll match the cabinet color i chose too :unsure: Actually this tile can be easily found in major tile shops like Soon Bee Huat, Lian Seng Hin or Taugres. It's the glossy surface type & has other colour shades as well. The code for this particular one ( purple+grey) is 34811, 30x45cm & cost only $2.40 p.s.f. That's why I was thinking - instead of getting expensive mosaic or installing something else at the wall to prevent it from being stained by the cooking area, why not i just put different wall tile in btw to camouflage as decor & also can make stains less obvious. The glossy surface should also be easy to clean :good:

:dribble::dribble: ohh...dear....how i wish my hubby will like yours, so i can shaking leg all day :bleah::drunk:

hahah..took years of training one :horse::lol: But not sure he'll still continue after seeing my post here :P:lol::lol:

Currently the status of my reno that haven't do are:

1. Kitchen cabinet

2. Painting

3. Change iron gate

4. complete installation of small stuffs like toilet cabinet, door bell etc

The others are completed, including my laminated bedroom floors which were just finished yesterday :dancingqueen: . I'll try to post as many pics as I can, however most pics are still in my hubby's handphone memory card.

Meanwhile here's a sketch of my kitchen cabinet by Keong, drawn at the spot:

Meanwhile the common toilet wall design is chosen by my hubby, while i decided for the mbr toilet. We're competing on whose toilet will look better. However he cheated by installing these mosaic tiles :bleah: :

Then we also installed the wall lamp, which is in front of the main entrance. We're gonna ask patrick to install the dimmer for this lamp, so that when we watch movie at night, can just switch on this lamp & adjust the light accordingly, for nicer atmosphere :notti:

Here's a little side track, some of the furnitures i've bought:

2-layer tempered-glass dining table, bought from Living Showcase 2008 at Expo - at least i won't be seeing anybody's feet when i'm eating at a clear table :D:P The 2nd layer i can put stuffs like utensils, cloth, or even decors like flower petals :thumbs up: So I felt like I've gotten 2 tables for the price of 1 :notti:

11102952_1e2385ce1213109563_m.jpg

dining chairs:

11103434_3ad67d521213111241_m.jpg

Now this is my MOST SATISFIED buy so far :wub::dribble: It's a tatami bed-cum-sofa-cum-storage cabinet. The size & material can be customized. I shall put this in my study / chill out room :paint::jammin:

11103490_26bc03381213111421_m.jpg

The colour that I've chosen for the above tatami bed, man-made leather like bronze skin:

Yup it's a standard single size bed. When my hubby & I sat on it in the exhibition, it's MIGHTY comfortable :good: Underneath the mattress is a solid plank, so it provides better support than most of the sofa bed you see at Courts, ikea etc. :sport-smiley-003: So when my mum comes over she can also sleep comfortably on this bed. :)

i like the tatami bed so muchhhhhhhhhh :dribble::dribble::wub::wub: .

may i know where to buy har.... :dribble:

It was also love at 1st sight for me :wub: I found it at the Living showcase exhibition 2008 at Expo. The company name is iNch Design Pte Ltd. They will open a showroom at Sungai Kadut ard end of this mth. I'll let u know once it's open (will call them up) :) Anyways due to they haven't deliver the bed yet so i'm not sure abt their service yet, hopefully they won't disappoint me. :unsure: (so far only paid deposit) Will let you all know how's their service once the tatami bed arrive at my home :ph34r:

Very nice the tatami bed. :) more pix! :dribble:

To those who had been curious on how my Mirror Bi-fold door looks like, here it is. The mirror makes my toilet 'disappear' - like david copperfield illusion :lol::notti:

The door frame is made of aluminium

The workers quickly 'siam' (run away) when i try to take pics, very shy :lol::D

Your kitchen looks really spacious even after installing the cabinets. Did you change the opening of door at your mbr?
