How about apply lacquer on walls? http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/shiny-happy-lac-148039 From my personal view: normal or special-add-on paint can't achieve 100% glossy look unless apply some special substance or chemical on the wall.

Geeezzz... he got how many pets at home? I was thinking if the silky paints will achieve that look or not, otherwise they won't term it as Silky series. And of course, add on downlights or spot lights will achieve optimum effect

getzski wants me to be the painters' common enemy. And you.... Later my house becomes the breeding ground for ants.

We are using cheap paint - matex paint. Maybe that's why can't achieve the rich look. I wonder those Nippon Silk paint will achieve this richness look or not.

9 coat is too exaggerating. If I tell the painters to paint 9 coats, they will throw the tins of paint at my face.

How to make the chocolate wall color look rich (like shiny)? Our chocolate wall looks a bit flat and dull. I wonder how to achieve the shiny look for that feature wall. To recap: I want the richness look on that chocolate wall.

.... no wonder.... getzski: Change color need to pay additional right?

You used 3M hook?

Agree with you on this. Dark tone colors require many coats so that the paint will be even out. Probably they painters have missed out this wall. I would say the painters are diligent and patience. I have three other bedrooms which require dark tone colors, and I got to witness how they paint the walls because I was at the house of that past three days when the painters were around. They painted at least four coats for the dark tone colors - I saw them apply two coats, Hubby saw them apply another two coats. We will highlight the living room wall to them when they come for touch-up.

Hi Valerie. The picture is not very clear. Hubby's photography skill is very doubtful. I can take better photos than him. Initially I thought the doors are white, but actually the doors are raw, in beige wood. We are painting the doors in white. We also like white doors and white totally match the chocolate feature wall. Trying to match 99% of the ideal design. heee... However, there is one thing we are not very pleased is that the chocolate wall is not painted evenly. We can see the brush lines/white lines on the chocolate wall. Waiting for the painter to touch up the chocolate wall.

Ahhh.. that is not very expensive. Too bad I didn't see something similar, otherwise I will also opt the same design. Nice buy!

Don't worry, everything will go smoothly for you. I like the design of your wc, especially it comes in one piece. How much did you spend for this wc?

How is the renovation progress today, ahlipz?

Yes I agree. The price to do automated blinds can be really very expensive. You are really good in that. If I have a child that big already, I would be an underage mother at that time when the child was born. Hahaha...

Don't need to hack the wc then can measure the size of the hole. My contractor gave us the measurement before renovation, before the wc is hacked. We bought our wc before our renovation started.

DAY THIRTY-THREE Today, we have the tilers doing rectification work to replace the hollow tiles in the living room and bedrooms. They will not do the kitchen first as we have not checked the kitchen floor tiles and there are too many bulky items on the floor to be moved around. Until the oven, hood and hob are installed, then we can check. The kitchen cabinet is coming this Thursday. Chemical wash on this Wednesday. The room doors have arrived and are installed today. The painter will paint the doors tomorrow. That is all for today's update.

Nice wallpapers. Totally enhance the ambience of your home.

Looks good! Everything is progressing well for you.

Because all iron gates are packaged in our quotations. That's why nobody source outside for iron gates. Got fake wrought iron gate in the market? Otherwise, call HDB to ask for their contractor for iron gates.

My iron gate is packaged together in the renovation package. I also don't know how to recommend you. You buy the gate from your contractor lah, he sure has lobang.

It all depends on that hole where the waste goes down. You need to ask your contractor if you can rotate the wc. And also, the contractor needs to measure the hole. When you buy wc, the supplier will ask you the size. You then give him/her the measurement.

Ahhh.. That's great.

We bought a blanco sink from Hoe Kee, but not this model.

From what I know is home owners are not allowed to hack the new BTO flat floor tiles that have water proofing - that is the kitchen and toilets. Overlay no problem, but not hacking. Maybe the contractor got the permit from HDB to hack the kitchen floor tiles.

There is no way you can rotate the wc to left 90, because the hole is there, you cannot shift the wc. Die die you must place your wc in your first drawing.
