Kitchen cabinet in progress. Some pictures of the old kitchen area and our new build-up wall kitchen OLD -view from the old kitchen entrance view from the front NEW-

Pictures of my MBR wardrobe and the vanity cabinet for the toilet Interior of MBR wardrobe We will be mounting a TV in the wardrobe. Sliding doors Scotch tapes are fixed on temporarily to hold the mounted black glass MBR toilet Carpenter is so blur to take wrong measurement for the cabinet door. Not possible to open up the cabinet due to tight space betwn the cabinet and the toilet bowl haiz..got to change the right side to bi-fold. Study room wardrobe The FOC replacement of the wardrobes in study room which was hacked off by mistake by the contractors. It is still incomplete. There should be handles and silver linings to it. Look very simple and dull at the moment. Super tall cabinet which I am not sure how I can reach it.

Customized TV console and the simple feature wall We din want to spend $ on feature wall and our co-ordinator suggested a cheaper option for us to mount our TV. Got a simple box up for the ugly wiring for our wall mounted TV. Material used and style is the same as our shoes cabinet. DIY ironing board and cabinet My dad helped me to do a DIY ironing board structure and we got carpenter to do up a cabinet for it. Its still in progress, shall be up by this week. This ironing board is really good, you can save space and yet allow us to iron on both sides (be it you are a leftie or right handed) Oo... we also got our bedroom veneer doors installed last weekend. As we are a lazy couple, we opt to choose dark colours for our furnishing. The photos may seem too bright to see the design.

Carpentry works are in progress and our veneer bedroom doors are up. Some pictures to share. My huge main gate (No regrets on my decision on fixing a main gate. Its more airy and windy now) The shoe cabinet by the door Yes! Now I can buy more shoes.. had requested them to leave some spcae for smell circulation on each shelf as well as at the bottom of the cabinet and a drawer for socks under the settee. There will be lights protruding from the bottom of the shoes cabinet.

Hi I need some advise if my carpenter is doing the right thing for my wardrobe. I have designed for some glass strips on my wardrobe (some where in the centre) as design. Saw that they had actually pasted the black glass strip onto the wood wardrobe instead of having it in a whole piece (as in one whole pc with wood-glass-wood) Is this the right way to mount the glass? I thought they would have it in 1 pc when they come to fix it. Please advise. Thanks

Hi u can try those normal printing shop like botak at hougang. I usually get my vendor to do co. Poster framing on backing with black or white plastic rim for less than 40 dollars. Let me know if u hve problem gettin them. I will give u my vendor contact. Cheers

Hi I have seen those ready made dining table with solid surface table and matching chair at some furniture store. Probably it will be cheaper to buy then make?

Had some crops-up in between which we are trying to solve.. the kitchen tiles are discoloured and we had to replaced them so that there is a consistency in the shades. For those who are choosing tiles, rem to double check with the sales if they have diff tones. I am now stuck with the tiles, luckily my co-ordinator told me that he will get the diff colours one replaced those obvious ones.My kitchen tiles are from Hafary. The one i saw at showroom is beige and after laying them, some are white, and off whites.. next problem is my sink.. The super hideous piping.. My co-ordinator is nice enough to get plumber to redo the piping for me.. exposed plastic elbow.. Shall post more pictures of my painted house and the simple TV feature wall.

Its been weeks since I last write on my renovation updates- These had been done: 1. Painting 2. Polish marble and parquet 3. Tiling for the kitchen and toilets 4. Shower screen put up and miscellaneous Some pics to share Common toilet : MBR toilet: There are still lots of hiccups and things to rectify.. especially my sink and my problematic kitchen tiles. haiz.. not sure if we can move in on 1 AUG..

Hi Jeda, For the 2x18W you bought at $19.90, can I know what brand of light bulb and ballast did they give you? Are they in square shape or round? I am looking out to buy the downlight for my place too. Tks

Hi dbkungfu I am also interested in having solar film for my place. My place is abt ur size 90sqm Can I know for these 3 quote you got, are they for films tat would allow ppl to see thru when we turn on light at night but reflective at day? For the V-cool, clear series? meaning they are transparent on outside and inside? Please share your findings with me. Tks for your help!

I bought a full leather sofa with adjustable headrest from green furnishing at 1799 with free coffee table. Think it's a great buy. Can check it out. I hve posted a pic of it on my reno blog e&e

Hi I bought the tap from GENOVA. They have 2 models, mine is the T8000 -I bought at $288. http://www.genova.com.sg/?p=productsList&iCategory=30

Hi Veer I changed the aircon piping but not the drainage pipe that is buried under the flooring. Only need to hack the false ceiling portion and they patch back. I changed the aircons at my place, paid $3900 for the 2+1 aircon with concealed piping works.

I have been buying quite alot of items for the house over the past 2 weeks since GSS started. Shall share some of my purchases: Industrial tap for Kitchen (had to be mounted on the solid surface) Still looking for a suitable sink to go with it. GOOD DEALS items to share Island Hood with glass hob 2 burner: Bought this Turbo hood with FOC S/S burner. We opt to top up some $ for the glass burner hob. Bought frm Denki. Its a good deal if you have OCBC DENKI card, got 1% cash rebate and 2%credit bill rebate. With purchase of more than $2.6k using OCBC, can get FREE dinner voucher or vivo vouchers Sofa - * Found this a great buy , cant resist not buying though still a month or so to go for me to move in. Sofa black $1799 comes with free coffee table. (i swap it with bed side table) bought from Green Furnishing. Saw at IFC ,same selling at $2199..

Some updates over the weekend: 1. The hacking debris had been half cleared except for the torn-down wardrobes. 2. Concealed piping had been installed for the MBR, ceiling rainshower and concealed taps 3. Sand haulage over at the living room to prepare for tiling today. Was kind of upset when I went over to check the place on Sat. The workers forgot to close the windows on Friday and guess wat? It rained and now my parquet flooring was wet. Had to cleaned up myself before more water seep in.. Today the Electrician will be coming over to lay some of the wiring for the L box and false ceiling. I cant wait for my ID-in charge to be back from his holiday tomorrow. So much stuff to clarify with him.

It would be better to buy separately, get a dryer that can dry clothes completely. My mum used to own a Washer-cum-dryer from Samsung, the clothes are normally not dried but just semi-dryer (due to air blow drying) and it seems to take a longer time cycle to wash and dry clothes in the end. She bought an additional dryer instead, it is then mounted on the top of the washer-cum-dryer. Now, our clothes are thoroughly dried. Hope the above helps

Hi Veer Yes, I re-do the aircon piping for the living/dining and rooms since its a 10yr old place. I have friends staying at the same projects who asked me to change the doors as the doors had problems closing at times.

I wld like to share the tiles that we had selected from Hafary, as we engaged a contractor to do the works for us. We had to do our own colour matching. which is kind of stressful MBR Bathroom- (dark colour will used on 2 side of the toilet where rainshower wil be)Din want toilet to be too dark. Hopefully it wld look too weird Common Bathroom- Kitchen- (CHoose whiter as we have an open concept kitchen, need to match wit living room marble) Yard-

Hi I have just bought an industrial taps for my kitchen before thinking what kind of sink to go with? The tap is to be mounted on kitchen top. I like the 2 basin type of kitchen sink like Franke but unfortunately most of those sinks had hole drilled for taps. The sales mentioned it would be too weird to have 2 basin. Anyone out there had simliar one and can share wat kind of sink you had? Tks
