Thank you so much!

One week away!

bedroom doors, unvarnished. 

wooden bifold doors for the balcony

Common bathroom (the kids')

Master toilet vanity with undermount sink coz is easier to clean. top will be kompacplus

 

Feature wall update:

Got the wall taken down! They managed to save most of the tiles but they will need to order more. 

So this time we laid everything nicely on the floor and rearranged it. Such a huge relief. This wall will be remembered. 

my mum hates it, says it 'looks messy' but I told her it's supposed to be the jungle...

Not just request for A4 but after shortlisting from A4  should go down to factory / showroom to look at the full size 4 x 8ft pieces especially if is large grained wood laminates . To prevent any surprises when the laminate gets installed.

wei havent finish one house already thinking of the next! reno is so so so stressful but it helped that I was able to drop by everyday to see its progress.

T-5

today electrician came to do up the remaining power points

carpenters changed all the kitchen cabinet hinges to BLUM (apparently they forgot and I really wanted all BLUM) and finish up the bookcase

would have to say that despite the hiccups e.g. wall and hinges, Andrew and Jun are quick to rectify. 

some quick questions for all y'all:

- ss water pipes: to paint or leave as is? in my case I actually have one running in my kitchen. i thought would leave as is but apparently they may tarnish and become black?

- my huge-*** ceiling lamp, I want to install it at the centre of the void at the top of my staircase. apparently need scaffolding to reach all the way to top, this would cost me $400. worth it? any cheaper lobang? or should i just go get a smaller one? hah..
