Ya, i prefer this to stainless steel or plastic box. To me looks better too.

Don't really like laminated wood fixtures in bathroom also, I always feel wood and water should never mix, regardless of what others say about being it being humidity proof.

same goes for stainless steel too... used to have mirrors with stainless steel frames but the stainless steel frame oxidised very fast... becos of the toilet humidity...

Thank you samgalz.

Your reno is looking great too. Seems like we will be moving in on the same week.

thanks! wow, many are moving this week or so to be before the 7th month.

Yep, it's either before 7th month, else will have to wait an entire month

Saturday 31 july: Sofa and mattresses arrived from Seahorse

Mitsubishi fridge from Goh Ah Bee delivered

Sunday 1 Aug: The big move, what a tiring day. Now living out of boxes at new place.

Found some water dripping from pipes below kitchen sink

Monday 2 Aug: Off to work from my new place. No leave today.

Made final payment to willie/vincent.

Bought desk, coffee table, side table from Ikea.

Just ordered curtains from MGL, Day+Night full length for living room, Night 1/2 length for 4x bedrooms. Total $1300. Installation in 10 days time.

Now looking for dining table, but looking for cheap one.

Moved in for 3 weeks already.

Kitchen sink a little bit leaking, informed Vincent and he immediately call for plumber to come down and fix it until swee swee.

The hydraulic hinge for my kitchen cabinet (to lift up the glass door) not working properly, Vincent got his carpenters to come and change entire set to another brand.

So far the warranty support and response have been prompt and very satisfactory, even after 100% payment was already done weeks ago. Still easily contactable and responsible. One more plus point for Vincent from "Room For Ideas".

I know about them thru' a colleague and they were recommended for great after sales service.

BTW, I like your whole renov it gives a very clean and neat look.

Hi Lyn,

great to know there is another Room for Ideas customer. I was beginning to think I am only one here.

Can't wait to see your blog.

I'm not sure if I can be so active to post the *renovation* process pic.s

I took pics of my place before renovation and planning to take after renovation for remembrance.

BTW, did you stay in yr unit when you're doing renovation? You drop-in often to check on the progress?

Roughly how long does it takes for yours to complete?

Hi can take a picture of your rack ? Or whats your rack dimension ? Yew Sin quote me $300 for a customized Lshape rack, PVC board. My storeroom is 204cm x 183cm. The depth of the rack is 60cm, height is 72" only.

So I am wondering did I get a lousy quote ??

Thanks alot

I stayed at my parent's flat 3 blocks away, so I checked the reno progress everyday

I moved in when the reno was almost completed, just left 2 glass items to be installed. Now the reno is completed.

My reno took 9 weeks.
