More hack hack done... New door frame waiting to be slot in.. No more wall! Our feels big-but-not-big-mbr.. they gonna keep the grills! but ok la, its still in v gd condition.. just dat we dun like it.. Hubby's notes to the uncle tiler... think he spent quite awhile on dictionaries and google to get those chinese words out.. heh.. im amazed i can still read!

so in ur case the plumber came down twice? first to measure n drill holes for the shower bars and taps and mixers, den after chemical wash then they come n install again?? wad abt kitchen sink leh? if we goin to undermount.. den maybe cannot do after chemical wash hor?

haha, on the contrary, i like seeing "real" stuffs like towels, rice cookers, kettles in toilets and kitchens.... imo, it makes the place looks more real and not like faked out pictures we always see in home n decor mags.. i always say, these kitchens and toilets look sooo nice becus they dun have all the practical stuff in them.. so even when we do our kitchens exactly as in the magazine, it doesnt really look dat good after all the accessories come into play..

thanks angel, JAndG, and feimei! I think we'll get the shop to deliver the fittings next week, but only install it nearer to the end of the reno.. as for the stainless steel stuffs like taps and shower sets, maybe get the plumber to drill the holes, and temporarily put it there, then before chemical wash, remove and get it outta the flat so that it wont get stained/tarnished by the chemical wash? is it better that way? Although my contractor says usually after some washes on the kitchen sink, if there are ANY tarnish, it will be washed away after dat... its usually the hinges on the lower kitchen cabinets that gets affected by the fumes from the chemical wash.... and he said he will replace the hinges if there are any rust/tarnish on the kitchen cabinets.. very good.. hee.. but i think i will remove the stainless steel stuff n bring it home to be on the safe side when they do chemical wash! Day 1 of hacking... Kitchen cabinets gone! Master toilet gone! Common toilet half gone! Major hacking of one of the wall wasnt done yet... Think tonight will go back there after work to see.. Our little toilet floor tiles were here on the first day too... happy!

hey wenny, sorry to hear abt ur experience with the ID, but better still be nice to him cus he still has to do up ur flat nicely... dun let him have any chance to give u slipshod work ya... btw, wanna check with you, the 40" LCD from samsung dat u bought, what model issit and how much and where did u get it from? thankew!

we got the same master toilet set! and i think the bidet and angle screw too...

hehe.. i agree.... wifey got cook for hubby better than no cook at all!! must protect myself first.. cus i think i also cook only simple dishes... hehh... btw... ur home cooked food looks really good leh!

Pre-reno part 2.. Common room 1 Common room 2 Master bedroom Master bedroom toilet Tmr hopefully can settle the toilet fittings too! Btw, just a quick question, will the contractor install the fittings in the middle or near the end of the reno stage?

Tadaa! got our keys today! Will start reno and hacking tmr! dunno why, i feel happy when i see the contractor marks a "X" on the things we gonna rid of.... Our pre-reno state... view from doorway... view from living room windows.. kitchen common toilet..

maybe u can try to print on another paper with the exact side, with a shade as close as possible to the background of ur vege.... so dat the white wont be so obvious.. PS: i like the Ikea Asker stuff alot.. please update if it doesnt hold up k!! heh... so dat i will think twice..

hello! it looks like a very very cozy place with the browns and orangey cove lights! now ur boy has a very cozy place to grow in.. and that white sofa.... wa.. must share tips on how to maintain k.. cus i also just got a white one... lol..

wah... simon, ur girl more power leh! walk under the hot sun somemore! u better treat her well!

ahaha, u shldnt admire me for that, im a girl, used to shopping from day to night in bkk... shld admire my hubby for accompanying me. heh. actually our intention wasn't to shop for furniture, only went that area to look at laminates, but since we no car and seldom will pass by sungei kadut, jus try to cover as much as possible there lor. yup we bought a sofa in the end. hopefully it was a good buy!

haha.. can walk la.. if u have the patience... and hopefully a brolly... but we din use though.. =p we walked from EDL to lamitak to novena, to winter(just to see wad they have, not to buy definitely!), then to sierra, to IFC.. from 10.30 to 7.30pm.. haha.. now **** shag..

oh wow.. looks like u gona do some major change to the place... if u hack the wall beside the window in ur mbr and replace it with glass, isnt dat gonne be visible from outside? unless its connecting to another room la.. .

helo! i like your lilac colour in the passage way.. what colour issit? thinking of using something like tis in my study room.. btw, ur transformation is looking good! looking forward to the completed pics..

Finally... after months of waiting, our 2nd appointment is coming up next week... and can finally start reno immediately after... yay!
