Erm, passing our contact to him is considered group buy ? Shouldn't it be more organized like a 'spree' with a cut-off date for placing order? Else, currently it seems like to be using this thread to get more customers leh..... I guess I still need to do my own homework and compare against his

Hi Is the master and common toilet sink the same model? What is the brand and model, how much and where? thanks.

Hi I have a wall-to-wall 'sunken' 3m-wide area in my master bedroom and it's only logical to construct the wardrobe there. As it already has the 'walls', I thought of doing the pole system wardrobe and curtains as the 'wardrobe door' to save cost. Was looking at IKEA, OPSH and ELFA (by Howard Storage). Not convinced of IKEA's quality while OPSH and ELFA are too expensive. I believe with 3m, I can build a conventional 5-door wardrobe. The config of my wardrobe is - hanging clothes (double layer) for the 1-2nd doors, - hanging clothes in the upper layer of 3-4th door, - wide drawers for putting folded clothes in the lower layer of 3-4th door - shelves in the entire height of the 5th door - 2 layers of shelves in the overhung section in the entire length of the 5 doors Any idea of a cheap way to construct this wardrobe? The 2 layers of sheleves in the overhung section is easy - can use metal vertical piece iwth many holes and L-angle brackets and wooden planks. The tricky part is what hardware to use to attach the metal hollow rod (that hangs the clothes) to the wooden plank above? THanks !!!

Anyone knows where to buy KILZ primer?

Hi Trying to paint over my outdated laminate but otherwise, very good condition, furniture. Did some homework and found the above paint - Diamondheart Acrylic Enamel - can paint directly over clean laminate surface. Does anyone know where I can buy this in Singapore? The US manufacturer does not do international shipping. If really does not sell, does anyone know where I can buy: Primer - XIM400, Sherwin-Willams Preprite or Zinssers Bin. Does anyone know any other way to paint over laminate furniture. Appreciate if you can share here. Thanks.

Hi Melandas quoted me $800 to make a new set of sofa cover (fabric) for my Melandas sofa. Any recommendation on contacts that could make it for much less ? I read from another thread a suggestion to overlay with bedsheet.... Any idea which bedsheet brand has designs closer to Melandas style? Mine is greyish brown currently. thanks.

box up the side walls and pipes? do you have pictures to show .... not sure what you mean.....

Thanks Ossify. I got the galley kitchen after reading your blog Hope you dont mind I copy your idea for exploration How do you think the galley kitchen concept will work for my kitchen size? I am thinking to put fridge, sink and cooker hob on the side where the solid wall is and stop at the official kitchen area, leaving service balcony area intact. Then create a stretch of table top space of the opposite side for the electricals. But how to run the power sockets on false wall ???? If i go galley-style, I dont think I need any top-hung cabinets on both sides liao.... I am a very amateurish cook only I dont quite understand what you mean by moving the toilet sink to the other side and reverse the sliding door direction. Take the master toilet for example. Pls share with me where to put the sink and shower screen. I like the shower screen to be placed from wall to wall, ie the right side of the entrace. I intend to mount a LCD TV on the wall left of the entrance.

thanks meredith....not my house yet...have not gone for 1st appt as too long queue now i am wondering if i should stretch kitchen to service balcony or create a galley kitchen concept, ie stop kitchen cabinets at the official kitchen area and create more table top space next to fridge. If I choose the latter option, I am not sure how the kitchen cabinet will turn out with my false wall of my store room.

Hi Kelvin Great design! Noticed you hid all your pipes within the wall of shower wall. Thought HDB does not allow that? How much did you target to spend on your renovation as it seems very major works going on there.

Hi there I like to share my renovation journey here and also seek ideas and advice from fellow forumers. This is the original floor plan: This is what I have in mind: Nothing fancy, just basic for my family of 5 including helper. Problem areas: 1. Store room - Kitchen - Service balcony Owner hacked away store room which was originally in the dining area. I intend to install a false wall to create back the store room.....can't live w/o storeroom As I cannot wall-tile the false wall, I also do not intend to wall-tile the kitchen and service balcony. I don't do heavy cooking. Do your think this will work? I intend to install a silver back splash between my top hung (all the way to ceiling) and bottom kitchen cabinets and all the way out to kitchen window. Will it look awful? As you can see from the 2nd plan, I am thinking to stretch my kitchen all the way into the service balcony. do you think it looks funny ? The kitchen sink will be facing the toilet bowl if the toilet door is open. I will be hanging my clothes (in hangers) outside the ledge of study room/bedroom 2/3 as they are facing the direct east. Will put up a short bamboo rod at the ledge. No one except helper at home in the morning so can hang clothes without blocking morning sun for any member of the house. 2. Toilets Position of toilet bowl is at 1/3 length of both toilets How to have a small vanity top and a showerscreen at the same time?

Hi there My resale flat original layout plan: Owner had changed to sliding door as marked in blue. With the current position of the toilet bowl at 1/3 position instead of being in the middle of the length of the small toilet, I am racking my head how to place a showerscreen and hopefully still have a small vanity top. I am prepared to change to bi-fold door to replace current sliding door. For master toilet, my guess is to move the sink to bottom left and my showerscreen to the right side of the toilet. This leaves the original sink area too much space but bo-bian. For kitchen toilet, i guess it would be mirror image - move sink to top left corner or opposite the toilet ball. Appreciate if folks with similar toilet layout to share your ideas with me.
