and can we not forget the "sexy" jabba the hut.... *shudder*

i am confident it will be awesome

I did a test on silestone...unfortunately it still stained so the countertop was granite. Thankful i got a really good deal on granite too

I wish i had that sort of budget!

Greg! Post your loot! i have posted mine

place looks awesome and very cozy! SWEE!

Amcon just called...delivering today! wooohoooo!

Via AmCon? My shipment is arriving tomorrow too!

Double post

Think he's busy with his newborn. PMed the granite and window contact already. Used the same guys

why not both? Then you have options...ceiling lights i got were relatively cheap...at about $80 each...and they are philips...zero flicker...turns on immediately. I got it from lighting.com.sg

actually you will see three phillips ceiling lights...that is where my white light source is. the pendant light is warm...along the kitchen counters, behind the glass backsplash...i have hidden T5 lights in warm lighting

so in you opinion....it really works better then a mop? cos it is less work or it is cleaner? as for the dutch oven, not just for stews...work great for roast...i also use it to simmer soups and stocks and curries in the oven...that way i don't have to stir and it wont burn. heh...

also a fan of warm light...but i have both warm and white light in the kitchen...white light when cleaning and cooking...rest of the time, i am using warm lighting...hth

well done!! looks so good...i want a slice!

marcuser...silly question here...so you use this steam mop in place of a normal mop? after sweeping? sorry...i am old school la...heh

Hey small and functional is fine! Why don't you share some pictures...even floor plan with some handwritten scribbling will do...maybe we can help for our kitchen, we knew it had to be cozy and warm after dinner so that we can chill out with a bottle of wine...and if we have friends over...the cozy lighting will entice them to stay longer

can you see my dish rack from this picture? Cut out a hole....where the cabinet was meant to be for the sink and dish rack...then adjust the rack...so that the tap will fit...it might not look ugly... i did that cos i like my dish rack open...and it looks fine.

actually the taobao loot will be mainly stuff like bar stools, study desk and chair...not really decorative...to me still under the essential tier. LOL. I also got mattress toppers etc. Should be exciting. as for the hen's night...well...embarrassing at that moment...but priceless memories you have now. btw, my kitchen post is up

The hen's party sounds like good fun! Good that you took a break from the house reno...now full steam ahead!! "add oil" your reno is fast! lucky gal! My place isn't quite ready yet...waiting for taobao stuff to arrive probably next week, then i can post more pictures of upstairs...having said that...gonna post the kitchen pictures in detail today

you mission impossible is turning into a mission dreamie...good job!

I prefer the white laminate...at least you dont have to worry about keeping everything really neat. LOL

looking good!

Just to share, i too thought that purchasing it outside will help save money, do remember to ask how much installation cost is...i did the math and realised that i would be saving only a couple of bucks if i bought it on my own. Once i factored in time and gas money, it wasn't worth it. Just sharing

slowly...and you can send eve options...and she can make suggestions..
