I would advise just do the customised wardrobe, re-paint, and buy some stylish furnitures. Others are not so feasible and waste of money.

My view: 1) cement screed flooring - wouldn't it looked 'dirty'? I haven't seen any 'good looking' cement screed flooring, probably what I can't imagine are those old type of cement flooring, haha. Btw white tiles go well with minimalist theme 2) No. I don't like ID as their designs normally overdo and not lasting. But good point is their design is theme based. They mark up on the quote, you might pay same price to ID comparing to getting a contractor but the quality of the things you get is different. ID tend to get something cheaper for you so they can earn the margin. 3) I don't like the idea of dark wood, don't think it goes well with white and grey. Wood is more for country desgin, unless you're using glossy or black colour, like the zen style.

If you just bring back a few it should be ok, i didn't pay tax for mine.

So have you installed them? Have been using? I'm a 'housewife' thinker, so I won't like this kind of lighting, it looks troublesome to clean up and 'not too elegant' to me, and so many lights if they take turn to spoil i'll have to replace them one by one. It seem not bright enough for me and my kids. But I'm curious to find out whether you still like them or find them practical after using it.

Yes, false ceiling and downlights only. Do it in the living room only.

Can try those neighbourhood shop, I got mine from woodlands centre, slightly cheaper.

My advice is don't spend too much on curtains. http://mylittlecasa.blogspot.sg/2012/10/how-to-save-on-curtain-costs.html

Hi, are u the one email me on my blog? I'm glad that it provides information to you. Regarding the stain in your pic, I doubt it can be cleaned as it seemed some sort of chemical stain which damaged the tiles e.g. bleach. U can either change it or put a carpet to cover it.

call Mr Tan at 96354336, he did for mine.

I tot normally your ID would quote you the tiling cost inclusive of the tiles. You just need to go choose the tiles. If you like the ones you've seen from soon bee huat, just let your ID know and your ID will get the same for you. My advice is don't commit first.

normally is not included. or some might quote you the price by embeding the cost in the door. Ya, ask the seller.

My kitchen sliding door: This is how the track looked like: at the bottom there is this holder: for other pictures see here: http://mylittlecasa.blogspot.sg/search/label/Door if you're talking about kitchen, I would prefer sliding door, as it saves space. But I do agree when something wrong with the top hung track, it'll cost you $ to repair. But generally, i find that all the problems relating to my glass doors' hinges or the track, is due to human, if you take good care of it, it'll not give you any problems.

You mean this type? The carpenter can do it. can do for cabinets or wardrobe, the cost is slightly more expensive.

I don't suggest L box as it accumulate dust, cove lights are heaty. Still prefer my current downlights.

Downlights:

the lights are pretty cheap there.

mine are all white, has been 2 years so far still ok. Don't see any scratches. Easily clean up. You can refer to my blog for pictures. Btw for re-laminate, it'll cost you a bomb.

why do you want to hack the kitchen wall and put a partition up? I personally don't like open kitchen, it is not practical in long term especially after having kids.

Of course it is still in the trend. Simple design can last very long and will never be outdated. I personally don't like country style coz not so suitable for our small size apartment and the design tend to be outdated fast.

i dont recommend solid surface, see mine here: http://mylittlecasa.blogspot.sg/2011/08/solid-surface-for-kitchen-table-top-do.html

This type? I installed it at $350 in 2010, you can call my contractor to check the price now.

Well, I would say toilet is actually quite an expensive area to renovate if you were to renovate all over again. This is because of the tiling required and the stainless steels items. I spent around $4600 for my MBR toilet, which inclusive of tiling and accessories and glass door. I am those budget control type, who chose every single items myself, you can view here for the itemise price list. http://mylittlecasa.blogspot.sg/2011/09/cost-of-renovating-toilet-including.html Although the cost is high, I don't regret doing the renovation on my toilets, assuming you've very nice living room but an old toilet, I guess the feeling will just not as comfortable.

How about this?

I recommend my contractor Mr Tan, I completed my reno almost 2 years ago, can see my blog for his contact.
