  • Hi iSoh, Please check your pm

Hi Greenboi,

Long time didn't check your blog. Good progress. Love your kitchen cabinet and wardrobe. I will have white kitchen cabinet and wardrobe too. Can I know the quote for wardrobe? Is it 9 ft length?

The tile for living/ dining area is very natural look. How about the toilet? Any pics?

For painting, any different color? or just white?

When do you expect to complete the reno and moving in?

Love the tiles! I remembered you were saying that you guys were contemplating vinyl/laminates. Can i check if these are vinyl or homogeneous tiles? If homo tiles, are the grout lines manageable? Can pm me how much your id quote you for cement screed + tiles/vinyl seperately? Thanks!

Hi Chower,

These are tiles. The grout lines are generally manageable. However long tiles like these tends to warp (bend on ends). So it may not be very even and you can feel it when you walk. Both I and wife are ok with it. I will pm the quote to you :)

Great kitchen and faucet! What is the depth of your sink? it looks a bit shallow.

Oh, your DB box is really nice. I wish i can have the same one like yours but unfortunately I didn't do much on electrical works.

I don't really like grey but your grey looks good. My ID kept proposing grey color to me so at the end I gave in to her proposal. Mine is oyster grey for the living & dining area. How about your grey?

Haha, finally get to see your toilet. Nice shower area. Guess your ID manage to clean it up :D

Wow, you really like white and wooden items. Your house is mostly painted white with wooden panel & flooring.

On the switches and sockets, why don't you change them with those colorful switches from legrand? It will look nicer. You can buy them from Choo Chiang.

The sink is standard depth - 200mm. It looks shallow probably because of the angle.

My DB box is hidden in the utility room. Heh

I thought about the legrand switches. But me and wife decided to go for simple switches. We are using the MK white switches provided by the electrician :)

All the best with your reno!

Slowly taking up shape and getting closer to completion :)

Yup. Reno is almost over. Will post more pics soon :)

Hi GreenBoi,

Nice!!! I like your kitchen. Are you able to PM me the reno quote and ID contact? I'm gonna do a full reno soon to a 18yo condo. Most likely gonna hack everything and rewire as well. Also pls PM the cost of your Joven and AO Smith heaters. Thanks..

Congrats Greenboi! you must be happy and sad. Happy that it's finally completed and you can't wait to move in. Sad that the challenge is over. Looking forward to your pics.

Btw, do you remember that your old kitchen's wall facing living room had 3 wiring points which is 2 at the left side (top one for hood and single socket, bottom one for single socket) and 1 at the right side. The one at the right side is for what ? I'm now confused whether I should keep the right one since I already have 2 at the left side.
