Really like the shower cubicle in the mbr toilet! hee

Likewise the bronze accessories are from taobao. Toilet bowl's from Rigel. We got the power and soul shower set from amazon usa as insani didn't have stock for that. The grohtherm thermostatic bath/shower mixer and another grohe and hansa taps r from insani which was cheaper than buying in sg even after adding in shipping costs. The experience buying from insani was good. Items were received in good condition in abt 1-2 weeks. But over the last weekend we saw some grohe sale at interior affairs and the prices in the papers looked quite good too!

Hi Klimoo..just read abt ur reno story. Do u mind sharing how much did you pay for hacking the bedroom wall and putting up the glass panel? Thank you in advance and sorry for the trouble!

Hi, would you be able to take and post up a picture taken from (angle) your living room's television set? Am thinking of hacking down the walls of our bedroom 3 too, wondering how it would look from the point of view at the television area. Thanks in advance! :)

Hi vicx1234, there'll definitely be some cold air escaping but any negative effect on the cooling of the room is not noticeable to us, so we didn't do anything about it.

The photo below shows the size of the gaps between the louvres.

Yes the doors cannot be opened easily unless one panel is locked in place, allowing the other panel to swing open. This should be the lock your contractor is referring to.

The reason why the two panels cannot be opened simultaneously should be because of the L-groove of the panels. It causes the two panels to 'stick' to each other. This is a top down view of the groove.

And lastly, the lock for the doors, which is the same as our kitchen bifold's lock.

Hope the above helps!

Hi Kilimoo,

Do you know the contact for this louver door need it urgently, thanks!

Yepp it's extendable! It's not from ikea. It's from Novamobili and we like how it can go from a table for 2 to 6, or even 8 if u cosy up a little. Hee

Hi Klimoo,

Can pm me the price of this Novamobili Dining Table?

Thanks in advance !!

your house looks fabulous, so cosy and functional!

do you mind sharing mr. k's contacts as we're about to start on our 5rm resale renovation.

Thanks!

How the kitchen door looks like when its folded:

From the kitchen side

This is the 'maximum' it can be folded due to the lock in the middle of the two pieces.

And together with the simple extendable dining table! :)
