Hi evezero, 

Dining table set are from IKEA. 

I did overlay for kitchen and it is tiles. Nowsaday got a lot of tiles with wood like appearance. I got mine from hafary. 

Cost is on the high side at 30k. 

A word of advice, when choosing tiles, try to choose bigger one rather than smaller one. Smaller tiles tend to have higher workmanship charges.

1. Nowaday watch everything on tablet / laptop so don't need TV. ?

2. I converted the bomb shelter into a walk in wardrobe to save space.The last thing I want is for the bomb shelter to become a dumping ground for unwanted stuffs.

main gate I am not sure cos I remember HDB has requirement to maintain same external look during the MOP period. You may want to revisit the T&C or check HDB website.

Toilet no problem.

bigger tiles got lesser grout and easier to clean.

yup yup, no need for a TV too but will get a smart TV for bigger display when really moved in.

btw, your bathroom door is it open to living room or you seal the one leading to the bedroom? 

can share pic of the bathroom? cos i think many members had / having headache with the bathroom.

Yes I sealed up the bathroom door to bedroom side to free up more space. Now I can have a bookshelf in my bedroom and also a sattee in my bathroom for me to sit.

Thx mmoh. Checked hdb documents i signed. Only mentioned balcony, external windows, service yard, etc. Didn't mention main door or main gate. Think they are more concerned about external facade
