Hdb... Just Beside The Lake

But again having a tile that you don't really like, will give you more headache when you are shopping for the furniture. You got to match the colour / design in someway.

:)

Yes, of course. It really depends on the kind of home u want to have. :). In my case, I bought a premium HDB flat but I also changed the tiles. :)

White tiles are the easiest to find matching furniture. If anyone wants to have dark granite flooring, most probably going for a darker theme. :)

for the moment ya.. after some calculations.. saving on the flooring in living/bedrooms will only save me about 7k in reno costs... i rather pay the 7k and get a flat that is closer to my ideals.. :P

I'm not too sure about the dimensions. But the length is about 2/3 the width of a Queen Size bed.

I bought it together with the bed at Slumberland gallery at IMM. I think you can check it out at other Slumberland galleries too.

went down to my home today to check on the progress. the workers were doing up the "hole" for my shampoo ledge. felt that the hole is too small and the ledge is not deep enough to put the shampoo bottles. anyway, since the common bathroom has already been done, we decided to leave it. But for the MBR bathroom, we requested them to make it bigger in terms of the height and the length. Hope they can get it right *fingers crossed*.
