In my humble opinion, silver or gray colour will match industry style better than gold :good:

How is the progress of your reno? :)

oh, thats the only toilet bowl in the common toilet. We sealed the one in the Masterbed room to make way for a shower screen. :)

Wow? You don't have toilet bowl for "bomb-ing" in MBR?

Make sense also, if you want a spacious mbr.

Any pic bro? :)

My kitchen layout plan.

kitchen.jpg

1. 1X Tall cabinet to pipes as well as store pails, brooms, mops, washing stuff and etc.

2. 2 X Large drawers for pots, pans, extra plates, extra glasses and bowls, etc

3. 1 X storage area to house the rice cooker, microwave (non-built in), kettle, etc.

4. 3 drawers for cutlery, commonly used spices, miscellaneous small kitchen items, etc.

The rest are pretty standard. Not doing top cabinets.

Colour of floor would be spraying grey with black freckles.

Laminate for cabinets would be light grey

Countertop to be stainless steel (probably will take matt look, have to see sample first)

I'm thinking of doing the exact same thing for my kitchen! Great minds think alike!

Would like to check with you though.. for spray painting of kitchen floor, did Faith Coat say that the paint would adhere to the cement portion of your kitchen (where the kitchen basin formerly was)?

Was thinking of getting jaskel's contractor to do it, but she said that the spray paint would not adhere to cement only to tiles, so I was wondering if other spray paint can. I will go check with Faith Coat.

Thanks!
