Hi MingzhuAng, our floorplans are really quite similar! and we have the same toilet wall tiles too...hehe. All the best for your renovation! It would be exciting to see the finished product

All the best for your reno! The house seems well-maintained, especially the living room. I like your floor tiles...they're sparkly! I chose the same type for my toilet floor tiles as well, couldn't resist the sparkles (don't know how long they would last, though)

This is the beginning of the 4th week of renovation...tiling is nearly completed, plumbing works as well. This week would be the windows, electrical works, and gas. Gosh I've never seen money bleeding out from my bank account at such an alarming rate before Below are some photos of the toilet and constructed doorway: Common toilet MBR toilet Doorway (strangely enough, this is currently my favourite part of the renovation. No idea why, haha )

Haha ya man! You could consider ne0's OXO mat....it looks good! I think it's this: http://www.oxo.com/c-132-dish-racks-drying-mats.aspx

Thanks marshmallow! I'm not getting a very good solid surface top so I guess I need to lay mats all over the place! haha!

Thanks for all your help! Let me say this again, your house is beauuuu-tiful! Our kitchen floor tiles are brown and toilet floor tiles are grey, so I guess the markings wouldn't show up much. I'm more concerned about the living room tiles which are sort of cream coloured....gah hope they don't throw the butts on those *cross fingers*

Thanks neo, I've been drooling over your kitchen for so long! We're getting a white solid surface top too, will need lots of trivets and mats!

Just some updates on what has been happening...hacking is completed, tiling began on 23/4 saturday. Just to check with u guys, is it a normal thing for the tilers to throw their cigarette butts all over the place? I'm fine if they throw it onto the un-tiled floor, but just wondering whether the cigarette butts would leave a mark if they throw it onto the new tiles. Some photos on the hacked place:

Thanks hafiizh, your house is looking really good! love the handwritten comments on your pictures!

It's a 5 room, 122 sqm (I think...or is it 120? haha somewhere around there). It's at the blk 16X area

I realised i didn't take any photos of the toilets. Haha oh well, they're gone by now. Hacking commenced on 18 Apr, and delivery of tiles and materials would be today/tomorrow. The project manager just called to say that the tiles which we had chosen for the toilet floor is out of stock. Sigh. First hiccup. The tile shop should have told us when we chose the tiles on 17 Apr, no? Hopefully they will be able to find similar tiles as we like it a lot.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Gangsta's Paradise! hehe! We bought a resale 5I at Gangsa Road and got the keys in Mar 2011. I have been lurking around renotalk since last year, stalking t-blogs in stealth mode and admiring all the beautiful houses. Oh, and I would like to thank all those who replied my private messages! For those who have never heard of Gangsa Road (which I think would be nearly everyone), it is at Bukit Panjang. Contrary to the name of our t-blog, we are actually very peace-loving people That's why we hope that our renovation would be as fuss-free as possible. Here's our floorplan: Restricted by a very tight budget, we are not doing anything fancy. Just the basic works like flooring, toilets, kitchen cabinets, windows and grilles. No feature wall, no cove lightings, no full-length mirror walls etc...so please lower your expectations! More photos of the pre-reno flat coming up.

Hi hippobb, your house is really gorgeous! Love your mosaic walkways and toilets! Your photos look like they were taken out of a home decor magazine Did you do the designing yourself or employed an ID to do it? Would it be possible to PM me the contact of your contractor/ID? Thank you!
