B&b's Love Nest @ Bishan

Recommended Posts

Today on leave to supervise the final touches of reno.

I'm so sleepy ZzZzzzz....had to roam to J8 for internet then roam back to st 24 again.

* Solid surface for kitchen - Done since Monday

* Water inlet/outlet for sink - Done

* Overmount - Done

* Door measurement - Done

* Toilet accessories: Ikea mirror cabinet + sim siang choon's paper holder and glass rack - Done BUT realised that rack holder is not the same height! faint Need to go back IMM to exchange.

* Solid surface for MBR toilet vanity - adjustments needed to allow basin mount against wall - backsplash "eat" away the basin space and waste hole can't align.

Meiye? you mean the petite one beside Kohler? That one not too bad too. we kinda found our toilet bowl a little big and pointed. I wonder if it's ergonomic haha

saw some wc that cost thousands :| i wonder if it feels any different

The house is ready for handover (we are not in rush to handover though haha) but we have checked the house and found it in good condition.

Now pending for doors (outsourced) to be installed. Painter may have to touch up here and there.

The place is nice, bright, clean lines and cosy....fantastic!~

Basically the major revamps are the kitchen and master toilet.

The finer details

Kitchen

purple_chute.jpg

Notice the purple chute? Blends nicely with the white/grey kitchen

abs.jpg

Abs trimming in dark grey

3pin_hole.jpg

I've asked electrician to install double 13A socket beside the tall unit. Then asked carpenter to drill a 3pin hole size through the oven compartment.

Generally, to make electrical points more versatile. Plus I think its not safe to combine electricity + heat hee

hob1.jpg

hob2.jpg

Rinnai hob is connected with citygas pipe. The flame is very very strong and hot. My hood become very very hot sia~ (no pots over fire)

Remember someone asked about using safety valve. I think holding it for a short while is not a biggie.

Bright Bright! - Window films removed to draw in more light when not using curtain. Curtain hunting next weekend.

MBR Toilet Vanity is usually EDL laminate with strips. Match against the horizontal blue mosaics.

Shower screen. The mirror cabinet open towards the screen ...so I can see how pretty I am while showering? Haha

alpha_heater.jpg

Heater connected to inlet via flexible pipe - neater and easily for future maintenance

white does give the entire place a more spacious and brighter feeling... very nice :)

mmm from a darker place to a nice bright one!! :) Congrats!

Thanks~! Space planning in the kitchen turned out good. Even the tiles are laid horizontally to give a wide feeling.

Place is bright but not too bright for the eyes. Can't wait to stay there! Mid Oct onwards =(
