Another week gone by, this is week 2. Our shower unit arrived and we are dropping by our new place to deliver it.


Nicely wrapped up like a nice present

But before we send it over, we headed over to Sansei to pick up our master bathroom basin and 2 water spray guns

Lone working was cleaning up after finishing for the week.

Doesn't look like much difference but seems like a lot of the plumbing and wiring have been done up

*Middle of week 3*

Met up with contractor yesterday to talk about some details of the build as well as choose laminates and paint. Instead of choosing using catalogues (and smaller piece samples) which was pretty much the initial plan, we wanted to get the brand of laminates he was going to use and look through their catalogue online.

In the end, we decided to make a trip down to the factory (EDL) instead to take a look at the actual big piece samples to get a better idea of how they will look. (we read about how different these laminates look when actually viewing the big pieces)

After sifting through the catalogues, we shortlisted these for our wood laminates and requested them to bring out slightly bigger samples. Awesome bit about EDL is they allow you to keep these A4/A5 samples and bring them home.



In the end we ended up with 5, so we went to take a look at the big pieces. (sadly, phone cam doesn't really show much difference in tones)

In the end, we chose: Superior wajar oak, Natural wajar oak for the woods around the house and either lace white or porcelain for white laminates in our master bedroom.


Paint we went with Nippon Sail White for all walls and white for ceilings. Floor skirting will be wood.

We also bought some appliances last weekend at Harvey Norman. (We actually shopped around for best prices at other places, Audio House (for fridge), Mega Discount store (cooker hob), but Harvey Norman was able to match the bargained down prices we were quoted at other place, and since we can pick everything we wanted up at one location, might as well go ahead. Great customer service too)

Hitachi fridge R-VG560P3MS (Glass Grey) - There's a promo now to get a free vacumm but we ditch it for a discount off the fridge's price instead


Electrolux induction hob EHC726BA

+ 1 Fermob sixties armchair grabbed from IFFS

We also bought our track lights and concealed lights from a shop in Siglap: https://www.facebook.com/ThreeCubes

Good price, good service (Y)

End of Week #03

We dropped by over the weekend to take a look as well as select the laminates for inside the cabinets/drawers (left inside the house by contractor for us to choose)

But before going to our new place, we dropped by the Blum showroom as we also need to confirm our kitchen cabinet/drawer configuration. I liked the BLUM servo drive stuff but no budget...




First thing we saw when we reached our place was the tiling for the outside area has started!


Though still at an early stage of WIP but turning out really nicely.

Inside the house, the false ceilings are up!


Piping for aircon
