Nice home! It's amazing how we have so much similarities in our places when both are done up at almost the same time.

Your expensive kitchen floor cement tiles have some color variance and discoloration too?

I use the same type of cement tiles for floor but different design and end up some got so bad discoloration, it was quite an eye-sore.

Tiler shouldn't have used the bad tiles and I wasn't around to supervise, sooo.. too bad for me.

Hi Renodaze, share your reno pics. I can't seems to find in t-blog.

Where did you buy your cement tiles, so far i dont experience color variance or discoloration.

But a few tiles were uneven, ID had asked tiler to relay. Tiler explain due to moisture absorbent from cement screed hence become uneven.

So far i gathered cement tiles got 2 tiles, made in vietnam and made in spain. Must choose wisely.

(How bad is your discoloration?)

I don't have a t-blog but you can see the completed place from here -My link

The state when i bought it - Before renovation

I got it from the zion road tile shop lor, sighhh so sad... Will look so nice if not for the discoloration. I never take photos coz didn't want to be reminded of it. Luckily this type of tiles are meant to look 'vintage' and somewhat worn-looking, so at least i can find an excuse to console myself.

The retro switches buy UK ones better, the china ones not as 'smooth' to flick up/down...

your place is much cool than mine. tb is my first choice. how much u paid for your private? i almost got blk 26 sit until owner asked for 80k cash.

Actually for own stay, i think Clementi is a better place. The shops at TB all very expensive so makes those daily basic expenditure and meals much higher than staying at Clementi.

I wanted to do the wall lattice like yours but not enough time to do so already. Also, i had wanted to buy Kronotex laminates but the lady who serviced me not very good. I asked her for cost of replacing damaged pieces in the middle of house and she said got minimum $1K before the company will replace. Initial quote was $2.8K and to cost $1k+ for replacing any damages not very worth it.

I wanted to get that floral designed glass panels on your corridor windows, but can't find.. So end up use the toilet type of wired glass panels instead.

I got it for $9xxK, and think i'm **** lucky to get it coz no one else was competing with me for this unit, prob of its original condition.
