Hey may dream...

did u get a chance to try the Getha mattresses yet?

getha mattresses? no leh.... i am not planning to buy mattresses yet at the moment. will use existing until i have enough money to buy my tv then only i will change my mattresses.

Agreed with Marshy. Can get those wire-mesh multi-layered shelves.

If not, can get concrete shelves for all corners in the bathroom.

I have extra shelves at the common bathroom to put those cleaning solutions & stuffs.

haha but May said wire mesh doesn't match with her resort theme... hmmm how about making a hole at the tiles?

or maybe use wooden shelf with some gaps in between... something like those wooden benches in park hahaha~

i will go find out from the tiler later on..... see whether can make another shelf or not. or else, then i will think of something else.

RENOVATION DAY 14: TILING ALL AREA

My tiles are very simple, its just both toilets wall and floor, the wall that my stove will be (not the whole kitchen) and kitchen/dining/living/all bedrooms floor tile. So for this big piece of area, i am using just 1 type of tile.

This tile also the same one that i had problem with last friday (reno day 10). The 1st tile i chosen was uneven so i have to go choose again. It was sent on monday afternoon and tiler came again yesterday to lay them. I was too busy during lunch and after work that i didn't go view the progress. So today, went during lunch to see how it looks to have the floor tile being laid.

Can't see much as it is mostly covered by the corrugated paper. It is a bit shiny with textured so that it will not be too slippery. I hope it will be easy to mop since it have textures....

But one thing to recommend, the tiler really have good skill.... everything was done as the best as he can!! i am happy with his work....

So, at the moment, dining, living and guest bedroom are done. Will be doing storeroom, kitchen and MBR by friday!!!

hee not sure about whether easy to mop or not... one thing i can say is maybe don't use those microfibre mop... i tried that on my rough toilet tiles and seems like some very fine thread of fibre kenna pull out? probably due to friction from the rough surface....

tiling work is probably the largest part of the reno, so it's important to have a good tiler... good for you!
