  1. i think we may be having the same idea afterall! Wardrobe+dresser room in Bedroom2. We have the exact same layout, mine is a mirror image of urs thou. Toilets are very personal, chge it if u dun like!
  2. thks payretep! B.Panjang sounds a little too far for me this wkend I would prefer white too... easier to match!
  3. come to think of it... me too... i like my bedroom to be dark dark. Super dark then can sleep well! Angel! Yes, today is THE day. N silly me forgotten my hp the 2nd time this wk. When i need my hp the most today. Camera also forgotten to take... argh.
  4. congrats! gd deal u've got there. Got ur keys already somemore! Starting reno soon?
  5. So fast?? Or issit i slow? my reno completed already then i slowly do my curtains... Same lor! my washing machine.. already cannot spin, must manually spin start 1st then quickly close the cover n my mum still refuses to chge!! *faint* Quarrel with her over that somemore... *double faint* r u refering to those bars in ikea, use the ring to hold the curtains to the bar? I quite like tt type leh... more modern look. I dun have his prices, maybe pinkpetter can help? I'll be doing it with a fren's bro-in-law, if pricing n service is gd i'll post the details after my curtains r up
  6. Hihi mackerina, i had the same problem with Tames as well. There were 2 uncles at one of the Expo fair and i was just inquiring abt the system, but there was this super attitude uncle who didnt allow me to even have a second to consider and sarcastically commented if i were truly interested, i dun have to consider so much. Gave me the look as if i'm fooling ard n wasting his time.
  7. i mean the drawers. My 6ft console comes w 2 'layer', 1 is opened and the other is with 3 drawers. i wished i had opted for glass or rmetallic laminates when they did the console. glass panel still can use remote control w/o opening the panel? I think it also depends on the controller u using ba? E.g, some of my controllers point anywhere also can control, while some must point directly at the appliances.
  8. i get wat u mean. The curtains become like those starch pressed shirts that anytime can break! how often did they advise u to wash?
  9. it was just pure solid wood, with a glass top on the surface. That's for living rm console. Somehow i would prefer something reflective like pinkpetter's from S&C, some reflective metallic surfaces for the drawings. But then my hub says its nice. So its nice ba? The drawers were more for keeping stuff not hiding the consoles. My MBR TV console is a cabinet cum TV storage. So the TV is hidden inside the cabinet when i'm not using it. Also pure wood.
  10. confirm its paint everything. They took the initiative to paint the pipe in my toilet, and also the water pipes leading to my gas heater.
  11. We had the same reservations abt doing our kitchen too! Wanted to keep the floor tiles n just hack the bases and cabinets, but eventually chged everything.. like u said, will be a headache in future if we decide to chge the flooring. Most imptly, so long as within ur budget, just do it!
  12. Nice that u managed to meet up with him! My coll complaining to me this morning ah soon flew her aeroplane for their appt last evening. I just have to console her that its 'part of the package'
  13. oh! haha! there is a term called 3-way also ah? ok, then wat i mean is a 3-way. Gd that u got my meaning.
  14. i dunno if i'm right abt the terminology, but i take it as those that have an additional outlet apart from the shower outlet... those we will use when we washing toilet or to get water for mopping floor... get what i mean?
  15. our mums... :bow: I think ur mum slightly better. At least the fridge she still allows u all to do something abt it. My mum banes me from using the fridge becos its fully packed already. Actually u dun have to make a trip down personally, just go to any big stores, find the model and call them up. But be prepared if the China gal answers the phone, she's a little attitude. Thks angel! Must be happily doing housework in ur new house right? I'm not too sure what is the diff leh. The one i bought was alright, i shower once already, everything all ok leh. I was looking at design n pricing more than branding. I cant rembr if it was $429 or $439, but becos the cheapest Poh Joo offered was $500+ for the round head one, so i took the Bellari one instead. The price includes whole set, mixer+rainshower head+handshower head, so u may wanna check if urs is the complete package too? Oh ya, 1 more thing. mine does not come with a 2-way tape, i have the bidet spray as a backup for MBR toilet. The one with a 2-way tape was $499 i think..
  16. Ya, i also thinking of the romantic feel that roller blinds wun bring. Bring to laundry must spend more $$, i think i'm too stingy to do that. Will have to close 2 eyes instead and keep it to half a yr wash. R blinds cheaper or curtains cheaper, any idea? Eh!! i also tell my mum i wun help her and she better dun complain! Then she told me "i already finish painting ceiling liao lor!" i looked up and its really painted! I didnt even see any tubs of paint in my house, i wonder where she hides them! Does ur mum attempt to repair the washing machine and the fridge herself too?
  17. that's the package i was tempted with! But too bad, i already bought my kitchen sink tap when i saw this package gaku, can consider this one... its really worth it.
  18. Nice!! Where did u get this? I saw a similar one but its a cabinet instead, and they dun have white
  19. Ur house really a lot of black n tinted stuff! Very mysterious look, cool! Ur switches must have cost alot...
  20. Hihi, my 2 cents worth: 3. Wanted to have aircon in the living area. But we will not use often...so wondering if we should go ahead. - initially our want-list as well, but in the end was glad we didnt go ahead (due to budget constraint). Thinking that if its really hot, will just hide inside the MBR where there's aircon. 7. i wanted a bar top counter at the kicthen entrance, so we can just have meals there. But hubby say a dining table is more appropriate. - depends on ur dining habits? I did away with dining table for the moment n bought a brkfast table from ikea for time being. We like to dine in front of the TV so most prob will spend my meals on my coffee table instead. But a dining table is certainly more appropriate if u will be having guest quite often. 8. this is a resale unit. wondering if we shld overlay the tiles of the kitchen and toilet or should we hack then tile. - It depends also on the tiles of ur living room. if u overlay kitchen, and happens that kitchen n living room floor is leveled, then kitchen tiles will be one step higher after overlaying? I would prefer to hack, a little more assuring that the tiles below wun 'pop'.
  21. hahaha i'm also feeling that its a waste to let the kitchen cabinets go, i think both of us budget constraint ba. But i think mitlancer, like everyone, would want to build their dream kitchen in their own ways!
  22. YES! Expect Every single door and drawer to be anti-slam. Initially i tot was only for kitchen. But turned out that both my TV consoles, my shoe cabinet.. all with anti-slam. Friends who came over were too impressed and kept playing with ALL my doors and drawers. Same same lah, i think oldies will always wanna have certain things to be done their way to have their peace of mind. U r not alone. i think better not to stay in the house ba, its gonna be REALLY dusty, esp when u have hacking going on. Till now i'm still feeling that my floor very dusty despite cleaning and vacuuming so many times. I think i'm paranoid... We were surprised by that too! Seek his opinion how long he thinks our cabinet shd be, afterall i dun cook (and dunno how to cook too) so i'm like a newbie when comes to kitchen planning. In order to box up my pipe, had to do 14ft instead of 11ft, and these were even b4 i signed the quotation! In the end quotation came as 11ft, but still done up to 14 ft, full height in fact, to hide the piping. I'm really sorry to hear ur carpentry was another total rip off. I think u shd show her this forum n tell her not only her attitude is horrendous, her ethics=ZERO!
  23. Heng for u!! no more Bluueee... I think we have the same tiles for ur kids' toilet and my common toilet! Is the one with lines across right? Ur mosaic blink blink one.. i like!
  24. i read somewhere in the forum that there's s/s cleaner. but on a 2nd tot, my cleaning agent list is getting longer n longer! Gd that i can just use cif, i already equipped myself with one, its very gd for cleaning white solid surface! Ya, now i'm thinking MBR shd i do blinds too. Wanted to do roman blinds, but read that its ex and hard to maintain. Now a bit lazy thinking that curtains also need washing. haha! If lazy is ur middle name, i think i have double middle name. EXTREMELY LAZY! Just ask for ur backing! no worries one lah, i think uncle is very easy going on these small items. Backsplash, like wat pinkpetter said, its the curved-up solid surface top that attaches to the wall. Removing of the solar film i dun think uncle will charge u ba? my mum can compete with pinkpetter's mum one. Some of the things she does really makes me faint! U know wat? she just told me yday she's re-painting the living room in preparation for my wedding. Told her i'll get uncle to help, she say NO! she wants to do everything HERSELF!
  25. Thks!! Wii is addictive! my sister-in-law also got it for her boys after seeing them go gaga when playing rayman rabbid with us!
