Haa.. thanks. yea, reno works were taken by my hp camera.. somemore renotalk only allow 100mb of photo uploading! So kept the pixs resolution small. I exceeded the limit, so signed up for Flickr, then i can upload HiGHER resolution! And now that i am finally settled down in my new house, i got all the time in the world to take photos of the house with a better camera. Hehee As for the dining area.. hmmm... there's only me and my husband in the house. So far ok. Cause we spent more time on the computer. So when one watching tv, another one busy in the study room. And when it's dinner time, we off the tv to have quality time together. So no interference!

thank you!

Thanks! For our reno, we got 2 different people in charge of different reno works. So after doing some sums and after some special discount. We spent around $30k on reno works.

Thanks! Was actually a kid size kitchen scale.

Was inspired by this chalkboard menu off the internet D-I-Y time! Bought blank canvas and chalkboard spray! Scribbled some quotes and i got myself a chalkboard sign!

Yes. Wasn't allowed to hack the existing tiles.

Nice and neat service yard! Can't help but noticed the 'grey octopus' hanging! I got the same thing too! very cute..

I mentioned about keeping the toilet mosaic tiles as it is. We matches the tiles with a laminate for the cabinet, color as close as possible. We using alot of 'wood' laminate for the house. Was given 2 sets of laminate book. Decided to chose Lamitak over Lam Chuan. Both have really nice colors. But i better stick to 1 book, else i gonna take more than 1 month for choosing laminates alone. Kitchen is almost done, waiting for countertop and kitchen backsplash. I love white marble top. But.. over budget and was told it was hard to maintain. Chose granite instead. I wanna create a 'bistro/cafe' vibe for our small alley kitchen. Did some 3d illustrations and showed my father-in-law. On one side of the kitchen, i do not need many storage. I told him i need a shelf so i can 'display' my barang barangs and i need a space for me to prepare food or bake. We discussed about my idea, what's feasible and what's not. This is the outcome! The living room is somehow done..

Haa.. but we still 'argued' occasionally over laminates and colors. He says i took so **** long to choose!

Master bedroom wall painted into 2 colors. Brown for the headboard area. The rest in whitish grey. According to The Daily Mail, a new study looked at 2000 homes across the U.K. to see if the color of a bedroom can influence how much sleep its occupants get. Their survey indicated that the most restful color for a bedroom is blue, with people sleeping in blue bedrooms getting on average seven hours and 52 minutes of sleep a night. And Brown is the lowest. LOL. But it on my headboard area, so it's ok. I'm still staring on white walls. The husband wanted grey for his study/game room

The day they installed the laminate flooring This was the 'supposed hdb layout plan for dining area'. We convert it into our tv area. Wider wall space for tv console 'feature' wall. Common room/study room or husband's game room. Relocated the door. Waiting for glass to be installed, so i can peek on the husband from the living room! Reason to have glass wall, so the place will 'open up', bright and airy. The brown wall area will be our dining area with a 'view'
