Hi we are using Legrand which is not bad. However if you plug in a multi-socket adapter, then it becomes hard to reach the on/off button. Will take a photo and post on my tblog soon. BTW, we saw the Schneider switches at HomeFix and they are gorgeous! But I think they are also pricier. Saw a friend's condo using this.

Welcome to RT! Like your main grill and cafe curtains. The makeover makes your place so cost now!

You are lucky to get the real vintage phone for free... This goes from $160 onwards at some vintage shops here!

Oh is the hole all the way through the hollow block? For a water pipe? I was trying to see if Alan did a similar hole for ours but I think not.

Strange looking hole? Think it is a chip lah!

Hi our sink is 780x510x220 from the brand Carysil. It is a silgranite sink though made in India. However it works supremely well for us and cheaper than Blanco. We paid around $300-320 (can't remember exact price) and bought at Royal Fanco (tel: 6299 0453) - very, very good service! Giant sink with lovely Delta kitchen faucet by Makanology, on Flickr

Luncheon meat with the airfryer is a perfect match! Cut it thinly and air-fried longer and you will get luncheon meat fries - yummy!

A deep single sink helps a lot when we have to wash big pots. Also during Christmas, we used it to put the turkey in for marination. Contains the mess within the sink!

Amazed with both your patience and perseverance! Love your DIY works!

The food looks good with such a nice spread! And that are some giant gingerbread men... Did you bake them?

Oh nice seat! Mind sharing the price?

Very lovely! Congrats!!

Hi g0mug0nu, thanks for your kind words & Merry Christmas! The kitchen is our favourite room at home. We are glad that the risk to put the wood like tiles (usually for the floor) onto the walls instead paid off! For the bricks, Mr E drew on the walls so that the tiler could follow and stick the bricks. We used a mixture of 2 colors & grey grouting for the raw look.

Hi Macuser77, Merry Christmas to you and Mrs! Nope the tray is just for baking use, not for direct flame use. Maybe you can consider getting a crockpot or a casserole dish? The latter can also be used in an oven but to be safe, double check before you buy

Along the way, we added more stuff to the house: Supposedly vintage-looking post box by Makanology, on Flickr It is a dog-friendly home! by Makanology, on Flickr Just celebrated our first Christmas at our place with some besties: Christmas meal with besties! by Makanology, on Flickr We ended Christmas Eve with the funniest scene: I am a dog, not a reindeer! by Makanology, on Flickr Merry Christmas everyone!

Hi EMinlove, you mean this? Kitchen storage 1 by Makanology, on Flickr They are bought from An Huat tile shop opposite Great World City. $35 per piece, cash & carry. 60x60cm.

Love all the decor pieces and it really personalized the whole place. Well done!

Lovely movie posters and stuff for Aki! Would it be possible for you to share the links? Wanna see pictures of your completed, decorated home! Share pls

Wow the car petrol (or diesel) & temperature gauge is really cool! Haven't seen this before!

Hi simplehuman, we always felt that Alan is very fortunate to have a group of reliable sub-cons, well at least most of them are. For us too, their sub-cons saved the day for us. Hope you can fix your leakage problem easily. One of the forumers, inthechouse is using their own window contractor instead of Alan's. Decent work quality & professional (so far from what I read on their tblog). Maybe you can ask him for help to take a look at your windows?

Strawberry cheese cake! Like!! Share the completion pix!

This quilt cover is so your theme! Like!!

Looks like many bubbly parties ahead!

Hi jayque, no worries about the comments here! Did you try to discuss with the plumber directly? We found it so much easier and quicker by liaising directly with his sub-cons. Ah Beng the plumber was assigned to us and he's not bad though sometimes, a bit 'eat snake'. But he works fast and he's open to ideas. Quality of work also not bad. Maybe you can request for him?

Hi simplehuman, so sorry to hear that! Our sliding windows were done by Alan's sub-con but they are for the rooms facing the common corridor. Hence there is a buffer before the rain can splash and hit our windows. So far for our casement windows, no leakage problem (touch wood!) but we must admit his sub-con's work quality and attitude was very sloppy! Silicon stains on the glass panes, dirty window tracks, dirty rubber seal between the glass panes & window frames, uneven alignment, left-over debris all over etc etc In fact, the sliding grills were not secured at all, despite rounds of 'rectifications'. One can easily slide it open even when locked. In the end, we resolved it ourselves with our experimental DIY Did you try to call Alan to rectify the leakage problem?
