haiz. not too pleased with the carpentry..the laminates are quite (imo) bad..still rectifying..and waiting for last round of painting tomorrow....imagine..we started in oct...till now still not ended.

i like your MBR bedroom view...looks so nice , mine faces opposite block

Some possible regrets We has wanted to get the Haiku fan but the reno budget burst, so had to drop the idea. Was also toying the idea of a kitchen island but space do not permit . Wanted to use ceaserstone but chose iquartz instead, hopefully all these dun dissappoint.

oh and 8) mirror and black glass door for our 10 feet wardrobe in MBR! the mirrors are used in hoping to visually expand the space in the cramped room!

We will be having quite a lot of "features" in this house namely 1) HERF (markham oak medium) for recess balcony (eagerly anticipating how it will turn out) 2) sliding chalkboard door for study room door 3) chalkboard wall in the kitchen 4) bronze mirror at dining area (i hope the artichoke lamp reflected in the mirror) will look very nice!! 5) platform in MBR 6) mirror pd door for MBR toilet 7) gold basin and gold mosaic in MBR toilet can't wait to see how all these will turn out

as much as i hope to share pictures but am simply too lazy to upload into photobucket... at this point, our tiled flooring and plastering are completed. Windows all changed to casement.

Things we have bought 1) Lights and switches from JB Best Lights 2) Artichoke lamp from Taobao 3) Kitchen sink faucet, 2 sets of rainshower system from wholesalefaucet.com 4) bathrooms basins, WC, taps from GR link-Jalan Besar 5) Crestar fan(matt black) with light from a shop in Hougang 6) Fujioh hod, hood, Bosch oven, Joven storage heater, Samsung fridge from SBH 7) Dining table, chairs, sofa from Hommage That's the bulk of our purchase!

Common Toilet Kitchen

Selections of tiles Living room MBR Toilet - inspired by newynew!! there will be some traces of gold mosaic.

finally things progress... Ceremony! Hacking of service balcony wall!! This wall costs me $500 to hack!! Main entrance Toilet

but good to know that have someone also doing same reno with layout same as ours, at least can give some pointers. Mine is mid floor, i also find the ceiling very low, plus we are doing false ceiling, make it even lower. For my service balcony, we hack down the walls to extend the kitchen area, and thus the service balcony area smaller.

Hello! our layout is a mirror image. I do love the island concept too...but since i got so many staying with me (my parents, maid, children and dog!) thus 4 rooms will have to remain and island idea dropped.

hihi! yes - you too? so nice to know that we are doing reno at the same time, please share your reno process too . Hopefully can post some pictures soon.

Hihi Can share how to order the craft bricks from jb? Tks!

badtzmaru, really? where's your location? Finally the hacking started yesterday...can't wait to see the entire overhaul too.

finally reno can start anytime!

Hihi, for the blackboard, it's a customised size from supplier or done by your contractor?

hihi can show a clearer picture of ur blackboard design? is it painted on wall n door?

hihi i did thought of that but i do need a storeroom, so any suggestions where i could build it? i wld like to hack the study room n build it somewhere else but i do not know where is a better idea.

how does the mechanism for pocket door work? is it just laminate on plywood door, a problem if used for toilet toors?

Updates: first appt finally complete. Hope that it will be approved soon

oic - ok, will double check again tks!

i see - can share the supplier contact? plain nyatoh meaning no laminates, no grooves right? Do you have samples pictures? I am keen on such simple doors too, but i heard from yontat is ard $450 (solid)?

hi - may i know how much was the quote for your nyatoh door?
