3) Grohe sets of toilet fittings for both common and master. the rainshower is God-given happiness...always feels like dancing in the rain :bath: taps feel heavy and yet super smooth to turn on and off

We bought quite a fair bit of Blum stuff becos all the cupboards in the house are using Blum hinges and Blumotion dampers, and also all the drawer runners are from Blum plus a few sets of Tandembox in the kitchen and a set of Aventos hinges for the dish-rack door. Total cost around $1.1k plus if I remember correctly.

Had the crazy idea of installing servo drive for the kitchen's tandembox but couldn't get my loan from Singapore Pools approved.. :D

Chpt 18 : Search for the perfect bean

Moving the Krups expresso machine was wonderful as everytime we went over at night to move stuff over, we could reward ourselves with a nice cuppa :yamseng:

Start with Meiji milk and the Nespresso aeroccino to foam milk up to microbeads

pour milk into the aeroccino and let it do its magic

SANY0995.jpg

add in expresso shot

nice latte sitting pretty in bodum doublewalled glass...keeps it warm n perfect :good:

SANY0997.jpg

now, we got the equipment..we need the perfect bean ! realise the machine doesnt fancy roasted beans. my mum got a bag of vietnamese coffee beans which smelt so good ! but the machine tossed out either too weak or too bitter coffee frm that. realise it likes dry beans. any suggestions for good beans ? do let me know

Wow JandG,

Yr kitchen so nice, with all the Blum!!! I am also getting a few drawers for my ladder unit and a set of Aventos for the dish rack door.

I always enjoyed using the Nespresso aeroccino to foam milk! It is so easy to use that to foam milk, compared

to the tube that is attached to the Nespresso machine I have onboard.

N I also buy the Nespresso cuppucino glass to pour in, hehhhehe :P

Hi JandG, just read your reno blog and despite the ups and downs during the reno process, the end product is fantastic! :D

Saw your post on your dog, Summer, and I also have a friend, whose golden retriever is also named Summer. Just wondering if your Summer is a female, and is super super friendly (pounce on people kind. hahaha!).. :D

The Blum stuff were bought by the carpenter.. Basically I told him what I wanted, and where I want it. He then went to buy the stuff according to his dimensions. e.g. certain Tandem runners were 400mm and others were 450mm..

I bought 1 set of Aventos, 4 Tandembox, 11sets of Tandem runners, 80 hinges & 40 Blumotion dampers.

My electrician bought from Choo Chiang.. No LED indicator for all switches, except for the 20A switches which has LED indicators. Let me go find my price list..

You also need to factor in single and double power point switches, also 2 way switches, those cost a bit more than the normal 1-gang switches..

Chpt 19 : Sofa so good


Here's our Lorenzo recliner sofa next to the coffee table from S&C.

Another view showing the dining table showcasing the zebra painting done in oils we bought frm our honeymoon in Krabi :paint:

SANY0982.jpg

We kinda over-did the carpets...here they all are...rolled up and waiting to be unrolled when we move in. Figured we wait to unroll, #1 item less to vacuum as we don't live there now. just realise we got carpets for all rooms :(

Also in the pic is the glass side table for the common room, also from S&C
