Oh 6.5K is acceptable, will discuss with my partner and see how he feels. Are you doing ur baywindow with the same tiles too?

personally i feel that it's the most economical and durable choice for wood-like flooring ba..we checked out many options..

i'm not doing my bay window. do people usually do up the bay windows with tiles???

Laminate are more commonly use for tt area, think tiles is possible bt nt sure if it looks nice with gout lines. For those with deeper pocket, did their bay window with marble/granite or solid surface top - you can refer to casa t blog, these are supposed to be more durable and easier to maintain. Must take into consideration that area will be expose to sunlight more and mayb some rain if u forgot to close the window, so the material use shld nt fade in color easily and waterproof.. I would think it is better to do up the bay window as it will be easier to clean shld u decide to use tt place - for small potted plants, sitting or putting any decor items.

we have considered granite/marble/solid top because it may rain..but contractor also mentioned that solid top scratches, especially if someone's jeans has those tiny buttons at the butt area..haha..so we decided not to spend 2k on the bay window and just add some cushions..at least for now..if want to add solid top or granite, it should be easy enough..

ay! if the paint goes off or dirty, repaint lor! cheap and not that much work..

we have finally confirmed our contractor and will (hopefully) be starting our renovation in a week's time! it's has been a really long and tiring process after meeting many IDs and contractors, and having had many issues.

we are using the same contractor which paloma and pinkwhale used, because we really like the feel of their homes. most importantly, we felt comfortable with him and he's also responsive, giving us quite a few suggestions. he's very experienced, so he'll tell us what is not feasible or do not go with our theme. he's probably one of those rare few who actually gets the scandinavian feel we wanted, as even many IDs don't seem to get it and kept questioning what we wanted. he's definitely not the cheapest contractor around, and he don't really speak english. we also didn't ask for any 3D drawings from him since we saw his works and were also very sure of what we wanted. i suppose this is purely chemistry and trust.

we've already marked our electrical points and can start once we get the permit. hopefully, everything will go smoothly from now on.. :dancing queen:

we have bought this dining table.

and a matching sideback.

both are from commune and he got them at a 5% discount.

we also shortlisted this dining table from Grafunkt - they are also having sales up to 30%

but it was really out of budget.

we originally shortlisted dbodhi and white woods tables, but opted for a less heavy table instead, for a more casual feel to match the brick wall.

we still can't decide between this.

and this.

husband prefers the huge 2-door fridge because it looks good. but i'm practical and would rather get the smaller one since i can't think of what to buy to fill the huge fridge! the electrical bill would be substantially more too!!!

other items we have shortlisted:

(expensive) bench from grafunkt.

husband likes this (expensive) chair.

he likes the green grass-like carpet and movable coffee tables too.

we also shortlisted this tv console, partly due to space constraints. we also intend to get the white chairs behind - these are from LUSH LUSH

we still need a bed frame, tv console, coffee tables, bedside tables, bench.

we also need to start buying lights and sanitary wares really soon. everything's on hold as the husband will be away for work the next week while we await for renovation permit.
