Yeah we're like always at conflict - design vs usability.

We'll leave it to the ID to mediate! Sounds like a marriage counsellor! Hahaha

Conflicting views - sounds totally familiar! Hope you guys come to an agreement!

It's about $50K on the reno (hopefully this will be less) and about maybe $20K+ on the furniture / fixtures / appliances.

Still not really worked out a very detailed cost estimate, but $70K is about we have in mind for everything.

what's your budget looking like for reno only and fixtures/appliances?

[timothyng27 0]

Hey folks!

Here's some reno pics:

Hall after hacking off tiles

Kitchen tiles almost all hacked off

Warzone

The floors should all be gone now; but the walls are still awaiting HDB permit to get hacked. Hope this goes through smoothly.

Here's our choice of tiles:

Long distressed-looking "wooden-plank effect" tile with texture and discolouration

Vine maple laminate from Innova for the Master Bedroom floors

Combination of toilet tiles for the guest toilet

Combination of toilet tiles for the master toilet

Still looking for a ma tong and some sinks for the toilet, which should come next.

Also looking for 2 pendant lamps (one for the hallway, and one for the dining table).

The budgeting is pretty scary; a lot of things not bought yet which will add to the total. Stress

More toilet stuff after visiting Toto and SSC today. Toto staff were so rude, totally bo chup me.

I just ended up taking photos by myself. Will go to Adamas to get them for cheaper. But have to say, they do have nice stuff.

Here's the pics:

Toto wall-hung WC CW863 NPJ - I super like this. Maybe it's the lighting, but this looks really nice

List price: $542

Toto normal WC for the guest bathroom CW862 NJ - Reminds me of a pelican, but pretty cool

List price:$779

Another normal Toto WC for the guest bathroom CW661 JT1 - Looks like any other WC

List price: $685

SIMS WC from Sim Siang Choon - #91469

List price: $201.77

Toto is **** helluva expensive. Might just go with the hanging toilet and the SIMs one from Sim Siang Choon.

I wonder how much cheaper I can get Toto from Adamas and elsewhere. Anyone got lobang please PM me

Can you do wall hung toilets in HDB? MY understanding is cannot unless HDB builds for you (eg in pinnacle at duxton). Better double check before buying...

Re your budget for FFE, better budget more, esp with the type of furnitures we spoke about earlier... 20k may be a bit tight...

I like ur wooden plank like tile!!! Very good option!

And all toilet tiles looks soooooooooo cool.. Looks very special for the guest toilet and some rustic feel also for the MBR toilet.. NICE!!!

Pretty sure it's do-able. Bought the wall mounting etc liao. now just looking for the wall hung toilet.

Think he's making a fake wall to conceal everything, so should be no problem. Yeah feeling the pinch man. but leave the furniture til late liao la

Agree with rottenramone, the toto ones look nice!

[timothyng27 0]

Yeah the Toto ones are **** nice. Don't know if it's the lighting or what... High chance I'm going with the inset one cos I like the green glass look.

But I'll have to go Adamas at Jalan Besar to check if they have stock. It's much cheaper than the Toto showroom. They straight up give 30% off list price (but plus GST).

I'll be going there tomorrow to see if I can work out a package for my WCs, basins, hoods, hubs and heaters.

Do also call Fullsun Marketing P L (also at Jalan Besar) for price comparison.
