So long no updates, I don't even know where to start!

We have been busy solving issues such as....

This nice basin, which we will have to forgo :~

Due to this issue, the bottom of the basin will block our drainage pipe. We only had 2 solutions for this.

1) Cut a gap for the pipe (something which I didn't wanna risk this costly basin shattering to pieces)

2) Exchange for a suitable basin

So our new basin will look like this, something simple and practical

  • Hi guys, I will just reply here since everyone's asking about the black metal rack. I bought from Shelf N Store at Toh Guan Road East at $481.10 for 2 racks to form an L-shape in my bomb shelter

  • I'm planning to use this glass system for my dinning room so that if we have more guests over, we'll just keep the room fully opened so we won't feel claustrophobic.

  • After what seemed like 1000 years, we finally got our sofa! This is how our living area look now... Our socialising area.... Cosy corner.... Ensuite bedroom And not forgetting, our toys display gl

We managed to confirm a nice sofa which we both liked. I feel that the sofa is the most important piece of the living area and thus we did not compromise until both of us "approved" the sofa.

Don't be fooled by the look of this sofa as we measured, it's almost 2m in length, which was perfect for us!

The interesting thing about this sofa was that it actually belonged to a 3 piece modular set and this is the L-shaped part of the modular sofa, kudos to HB for creative thinking! :wub:

Bad news is that it'll only be delivered in mid June, but I don't really mind waiting a little longer for this.

Both our toilets' lights were awesomely installed, feels so hotel-ish :sport-smiley-018:

Master Bath

And common bath

Also, we decided to switch from solid surface kitchen top to quartz after hearing that it really really really scratches easily

So we will be choosing the grey quartz on the left

can share the link to the bowler hat light? :)

Hi, I wouldn't recommend this bowler hat as the quality is not good and the shape is really far from the original. We just use it because I don't wanna spend extra money and waiting time buying another piece.

Your toilets look great!

And the sink you had to forgo.. was provided by HDB? Looks pretty nice..

This sink is definitely not from HDB, I replaced all my basin and wc becuz HDB provided yellow-beige ones

I also chose very similar tile combi for the toilets and saw that it makes my toilet very dark if without lighting. Finally found someone who did similar and the results came up very well :)

Great sigh of relief! Think when my lights go up the effect will be great!

Nice reno progress btw

are we allowed to paint the gates and doors? can i also know what kind of paint did you use for the doors? was also thinking of doing the same as didn't quite like the colours of both the gate and door of my unit.

I used normal metal/wood paint. I think there's no restrictions on painting the door and gate, as far as I know, only can't change it.

I almost gonna buy this full length basin but nvr go for it due to my toilet too small

I thought there is no restrictions on changing door and gate?

Though think if your door is a fire-rated door need to get a permit to change [to another fire rated door]. Rules are different between resale and BTO arh? If so, pardon me.

I just changed my gate grilles, no permit needed.
