Initially, Mr Contractor provide silver door knobs for the bedroom doors. I managed to source for nice gold ones and used them instead.

And only 1 picture of the guest room. It is so untidy that I am ashamed to show people. It is painted purple and it is a mirror image of the bedroom with built in wardrobe, storage cupboards and table except the furniture is brown. I know the colors do not match but since no one is using the room, I just leave it at there unless I have an inspired moment and change the room. Sigh, this room used to be pretty neat and now it looks as if a hurricane has run through it.

Love the large round mirror. Sort of reminds me of the porthole of the ship. The counter top is aurora rosa marble.

WC with sea shell cover seat cover. I think the cover's quality from Sim Siang Choon not that fantastic. The metal parts holding to the WC rusted after a few use. Mr Contractor has to change them to plastic ones.

Generally I am quite pleased with the reno EXCEPT that it has dragged on too long. I did not touch parts of the living room (e.g. TV area) because I am still not sure what to do with them and I don't want to drag the reno on. I am still debating what to do with the kitchen. Again, nothing wrong with it except for the bad layout and horrible looking tiles and cupboards which is in very good condition. I am not sure whether to get a country style kitchen or an ultra modern kitchen. I am leaning towards a modern kitchen even though the rest of my house may not match (?). I am not sure how to categorise the style of my house reno but I am quite sure it is quite unique.

I LURV your renovations. It's extravagant and unique in your choices of colours and materials. It was such a fun experience to read both your t-blogs. Please do update if you ever make further changes to your kitchen.

Hi, Pinky Tissue

I getting my house soon same with you that all mine built in wardrobe also in brown which i feel a bit old-fashion. May i check with you how much the cost of re-laminate the door? I heard friends said which is the half of the full price to be spend.Just wondering are they damage the door and re-do a new one or peel off the laminate re-apply again. Hope to hearing for your reply soon, Thanks

Second Bed Room. Originally, everything is brown with built in wardrobe, storage cupboards and table. We re-laminate it and Frenchify it and have a custom made storage bed.

Pamelo - the contractor put a layer of laminate over the existing laminate. As for the price, it is dependent on the sort of laminate you choose. They can range from a few dollars to $250 per meter. Also take note how many layers of laminate they give. If want to re-laminate, better only do it for areas like bedroom or living room. Not advisable for kitchen or bathroom because there is a risk of peeling because of oil or moisture.

Underthestar - thanks for your compliments. It must be the magpie in me - like all things bright and shiny. Preferably gold. I don't really like the Scandinavian style which is so popular everywhere. My contractor's eyes popped out when I told him my vision. At times, I also have doubts I have overdone the in-your-face deco, especially the master bedroom toilet (purple chandelier in toilet) but the results turned out well that my friends made a beeline to THE toilet. The wall tiles turned out to be really lovely.

Really like these mosaic tiles although cannot find a place to use them. Maybe back splash of my yet-to-be renovated kitchen backsplash?

Wondering anyone has a TV feature wall made of marble? I think the price would be prohibitive. Mr Contractor suggested a faux fire place but I don't like the idea.....just too faux. Come on, fire place in Singapore?

Oh dear my HTB also suggested this the other day and my eyes almost popped! Totally agree with you - a fireplace in Singapore is just so ... Lol

Love this onyx TV wall. Cannot afford though :-(

I fell in love with onyx & wanted it for my vanity counter top but it is so expensive that I got scared off. Now need to buy more 4D.
