    Here you go I had to do 2 pane cus the door frame was bigger... And the stopper is there (not pretty but practical haha) from my contractor to prevent the glass door from slamming. Hope that helps!

    Haha! Actually it's not so hard to maintain la. Or maybe I'm used to it. Haha!!

    Yes! I actually hated it, apparently a lot of people love it! It was initially in like a distressed silver! Thanks!

    Yeah I also got the second one and shipped it to Singapore and yes LuxExplorer it's much cheaper than in Singapore last I checked.

    Thanks! more pictures coming up as I slowly start furnishing the place! Haha, will do. Probably in December already. Can't even imagine the packing and cleaning. It seems dusty everyday! Haha, yeah. They still have one last repair to do for me (these carpentry workers are so passive I can't even. It makes them have to come down multiple times but they seem to enjoy doing that rather than doing it right in one shot. Ah wellz. Both I painted over. Main door painted over the veneer / laminate door HDB provided. Just used oil based paint. Yeah spray painting was very expensive so I said no to that. Turns out the painting result was super good for me.

    So it's an option to leave the hob just sat in and unsealed? Mine is unsealed now as well, just sitting in the cut out on the cabinet...

    Guys, today I am so happy I cannot stop smiling. REALLY. Even though deliveries were late and my TV is not here and my painter couldn't finish the touching up (coming back tomorrow). My home is so close to my inspiration pics I could cry. Especially after the last few weeks of agony. It's still not 100% there, but 90% there and oh my stars guys. OH MY STARS. My iPhone camera does a terrible job at capturing the beauty of it all. I could not leave my kitchen today. I just couldn't bear too. It's 13ft (plus top cabinets 23ft) of gorgeousness. Not trying to be BHB but I am so so happy. I can't wait to have y'all over. I'm going to lug my DSLR down tomorrow and attempt to capture its loveliness. The kitchen is now my favorite spot. Followed closely by the master bath. But most of all... My gate and door looks almost exactly like the inspiration pics. My gold knocker and peephole will go up tomorrow to complete the loveliness. Plus the gold numbers at the side of the gate and a plant right under the doorbell and it's perfection. And without further ado... my gate and door (incomplete; but I couldn't wait to show you guys!) It is the perfect shade of mint in real life and the gold handles just make the semi gloss black gate POP. Can you imagine more gold elements (knocker; house number) on it? Oh my stars. I CANNOT DEAL. And sneak peek of the kitchen. The gold handles glisten in real life and the solid top is so much like marble when the light hits it... All in the right spots. I wish you guys could see it for realz. Hopefully my DSLR will do a better job tomorrow. I have no idea why this gold shows up matte in pictures but it's actually pretty glossy in real life!! Happy sigh and tears. It was very much worth it. I cannot wait to complete more of the house! Touch ups tomorrow will just make it perfect. The guest bath is also complete but I forgot to take pictures of it because I was relishing in the kitchen's gorgeousness.

    I love the floor! Goes with your toilets very well. Moar moar!

    Haha, problem is, the color is pantone-mixed so Dulux has no guarantee that it will look like the color shown on the swatches or on screen...
  15. bykaraanne
    Haha, I think that was too much trouble. I also dowan to go and argue about it already. A lot of people have commented that the black fits the toilet, so gonna stick with it.

    My wallet not as happy as me. Was an expensive washer hope it's worth it haha! Not yet! End of November. They are painting the doors today (either **** chio or **** ugly my mint door + gate) and touching up the house paint... Then plumber and contractor will come later so my kitchen can be revealed!! Hahaha!

    Saw a similar but cheaper version here for your carpet: http://www.nookandcranny.com/collections/carpets/products/grampian-rug-garden-flowers-1 That said, didn't know IKEA had such expensive rugs!

    Hahaha! I actually like doing laundry. Plus this is my most expensive electrical appliance to date (even more ex than my TV)... So this is my baby. Yeah it is! I wanted it to be white but it didn't turn out as "white" as I expected, so this will have to do!
  19. bykaraanne
    Not much to update except my favorite Bosch washer/dryer has arrived. It is so gorgeous I can't wait to do laundry in it. They have also fixed the tempered glass and it is now black instead. Although I'd have preferred white, but it turned out way too greenish for my liking, so black would have to do! And my Sealy bed came today too! Tomorrow they're fixing up my room TV and my soundbar. My 49" TV is OOS and have to wait till end of next week Silly salespeople always never check for us and cause so much trouble. Spent the whole day there today, then hubby had to rush to work for night shift and tomorrow go straight to the new house to monitor the painting touch ups. Plumber will either come here today or tomorrow for the kitchen faucet (my gold tap ) and the guest bathroom sink. We're just about done! The fridge is coming tomorrow too (they delivered the wrong one yesterday), and the doors are all being painted tomorrow (including the main door and gate!). Hopefully it'll turn out right. the end was messy and scary!

    Have you considered the digital peephole viewer also then? Can take once people hover around your door.

    I see... The packaging was quite normal so I thought nothing of it. shall open and use then... Got my Jamie Oliver knives for the new house though! Haha.
  22. bykaraanne
    The Kyocera knives are good? Got one set free when i purchased some electronics previously, thought it was normal one but realized quite popular?

    Eurokera! It came with the place. I got a Bosch gas hob for my new place because I still prefer to be able to control the heat easily... Just sharing my experience from using it for 8 months++

    Amazon is theeeee best. Though I bought lots of stuff on TB, Amazon is still my fav.

    I've been using induction cooker at my current rental EC. For someone who cooks rather often, it isn't my favorite because: (1) It heats up slowly, but once it's hot, it's very hot. The heat is not so controllable like gas (instant smaller fire) so must be careful not to let it get very hot. (2) The control panel is very delicate. For someone who cooks more, I have to clean and keep this area DRY very carefully, because water on it or anything else will affect the display panel. Not sure if it's much better on higher-end models. But that said, it is very clean, no scorch marks caused by fire, less fire hazard and more even cooking I suppose? Hope that helps! I've been using it for ~8 months!
