THanks guy, congratz to u getting your home soon!

hehe.. i will say jus that later in e evening! thanks!!

Thanks rdnest! e panel window is one of e reason y we bought e house.. hehe.. n yup, my house is quite spacious.. e only negative part is e kitchen.. very small... so we have to do a open concept kitchen to make it look bigger.. but both mums are objecting strongly!!

hehe thanks.. i guess i will do jus that! but im a little lost on how to break e ice.. haha..

i have e same sentiment about e beige tiles.. Yup, i will be hacking down all the walls for my master bedroom toilet and replace it with clear tempered glass.. hehe.. hmm, actually the permit take less than a week to approve.. my ID submit it on monday and on wed we give a call to HDB to rush them and it was approved on thursday morning! and the best thing is, no PE required! where is your new home? is it an old flat.. if im not wrong, old flat tend to have more restriction in regards to hacking of walls.. submit hacking approval no need $$ one right? mayb u can get your ID/contractor to submit first and then see wats e outcome and decide later? jus my suggestion..

Thanks Lawry, but i will be changing it all to white homogenous tiles eventually..

i agree!

Hi Pinkiedreamy, e living room tiles are more of beige color actually.. and yes, its homogeneous tiles.. will be replacing e living room tiles with white 600x600 homogeneous tiles.. Im sure your white n black combi will look nice too! i saw a black 'galaxy' tiles that is very nice and for a moment, i thought of using black tiles too! haha.. I will be doing open concept for my kitchen and master bedroom too! Seems like our design concept is pretty similar! hehe.. Furniture wise will be white, white and white.. haaha..

Hi Ivy & Xherion, Yup, the previous owner did maintained the whole house flooring quite well.. even for e toilets too.. Both our parents commented that also.. And we have been debating for a long time whether should we keep e tiles or hack it.. Cause its really a waste to hack it off.. But the color of e flooring is not entirely white (more of beige) and e size is smaller (we like those 600x600 big big tiles) which is not to our liking.. so we decided to change it lo.. n our parents had been nagging at us since then..

Thanks Pinkpetter! Yup yup, my hacking will start tomolo! Pretty excited about it~~ Btw when u guys do renovation, would u buy a little something for your neighbours to eat? To 'thank' them for being enduring and understanding for all e knocking and hacking.. I intend to buy some tarts but am not too sure whom should i give to.. direct (opposite) neighbour, all neighbours on same level? need to include neighbour below and above me?? i need some advice pls!

huh? sorry ashes, but i dun really get wat u mean.. btw, anyone knows y only e 1st 2 pics manage to load and e rest are hyperlinks only? Did i miss out anything??

Thanks neighbour! u are a night owl too huh? i have been delaying to write a T-blog for ages and yesterday finally manage to squeeze some time to write it.. hehe.. yup, quite a lot of things to do.. cause previous owner house everything also dun have.. but also good la.. got e 'excuse' to do up wat we want.. if got $$ i will also do up my common rooms.. haha.. Your 2nd appt coming soon.. confirm on your design yet?
