    Haha, mine is simple one. Only my hob and washer dryer is more "premium" range, the rest is quite normal cus low usage + okay reviews. That's nice to hear! All my Hansgrohe stuff except the toilet accessories and rainshower set are 100% genuine (from flagship stores). The Hansgrohe toilet accessories should not be genuine, and the rainshower set is 50-50 la. The rest is all genuine. Bidet Spray: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=45807789221&spm=2014.12193480.0.0 Hansgrohe Washbasin Tap: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=16494930271&spm=2014.12193480.0.0 Gold Kitchen Faucet: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=20085443438&spm=2014.12193480.0.0 Hehe not bad la, we saved a lot thanks to friends. On electronics especially. That said, Hong Liang gives very very good pricing regardless!

    I love Bosch haha. I bought only hob/hood/oven/washer dryer from Bosch. Didn't dare to put down money for the fridge. Hah! I bought all from Hong Liang! Look for James, he gave me good deals. Quote Kara/Isaac if it helps. They are at 123 Bukit Merah Lane 1.

    Haha! I found them worth it though. Think in total I'll spend $2.5k on Taobao stuff I buy my electronics at Hong Liang and Courts due to my friend's recommendation and contacts. Heh. Got some friendship discount!

    All my Taobao loots My WCs... They turned out better than I expected My Bosch loots (only missing my Bosch Washer Dryer, movable items come later) My fans - 54" for the living room and 46" for the bedrooms. Heard Aroma is very windy! Cornices and a small false wall (added in) will be going up this week, plus the electrical. Painting will be completed by next week, and kitchen will come in the week after (week of 12th). Then the bifold doors, shower panels, shower accessories, WCs and the room doors. Whew.

    LOOT UPDATE! Everything came and was 90% good. Only "bad" thing was the Hansgrohe Rainshower set. I personally think it's not genuine la, but the quality is still very very good (as good as the confirm genuine Hansgrohe shower set for my master) but ah wellz, it is what it is. I just don't like using fake goods a bit paiseh. I rather buy no brand than fake ma! That said, everything else came in perfect condition and was what I expected. My toilet bowls were more chio than I remember, and I saved $120 so YAY ME Fans were good and delivery uncles all said I made super good choice with all my electronics. So ok la I take lor TAOBAO DELIVERY (65DAIGOU BUY4ME) My golden kitchen faucet and my $10/set bidet spray (which is quite good quality according to my dad). It's not the prettiest but aye, can use can already, no one will go and look at it right? My HUMONGOUS Ceiling light for kitchen and foyer Same Hansgrohe taps for both bathrooms

    I went to a Granite and Marble factory last week.. The finished and unfinished product really quite different (like before polishing). Maybe that's the underside or what...So much lighter and white based hor! But still looks good with your grey tiles...

    Contemplating to buy Roomba 650 and Black and Decker Steam Mop. Anyone has opinions on these? I have 2 bunnies who shed A LOT. But sometimes they also anyhow pee pee I very scared my robot go spread it around the house. That said, I am at home most of the time so maybe can set to a certain time during the day and night?
  11. bykaraanne

  12. bykaraanne
    Your house confirm very chio! Haha. Is it up yet then? I have yet to check out your blog.

    Haha congrats! YAY My taobao loots are in the warehouse today! But I'm going to resist the temptation to deliver it tomorrow since everything is coming to my new place on Wednesday. Bought 2 x Mayfair toilet bowls today (wanted to get the Baron W888 that everyone raves about, but the sales guy insist that no difference one Gerberit or not, so I decided to trust his opinion and save myself $120). Looks "stylish" enough to go next to my Hansgrohe stuff and bathtub. Went back to my trusty Fanco Aroma (54" for living and 46" for bedrooms) even though the Heritage people said it wasn't good... But HL guys said it was quite a good model. My current model has been discontinued I think! Now come all the new stylo-mylo energy saving engines one, $500 a pop, not about to spend that kind of money on ceiling fans. Also bought all the remaining electronics, paid for my 2 vanities and sinks, and my entire kitchen. BIGGEST spending day ever! Going back for the last of furniture on the 11th. I am never shopping at IKEA Tampines if I can help it again... Leftover big items: - My 55" + 42" TVs - Kitchen Countertop Decided to just buy a bulb for the bombshelter. So easy to clean, zhng the inside for what?! Haha! Since I ordered 1 less Philips waterproof and sealed light so mai geh kiang... Just but a normal 8W LED bulb can already. Save money, save the earth, brighten the room. No one go see my bombshelter light swee anot one la!! Haha

    The IKEA kitchen planner staff and subcon deserves complimentary letters that I'm going to write come next next week once my kitchen is in!! :dance: Seriously!! Was already giving up on my IKEA kitchen. Now I love what they've come up with for me! I generally look after my things ok (as a tenant my solid top in white is nicer than most residents here) and the brand is not bad so hopefully will be alright. Can't wait to enjoy the fruits of my labour! Should be done by end of October the whole house. Hehehe

    Haha so elite Ours peasant fan Anyway, so yours is solid or granite? Why got two?
  16. bykaraanne
    Heh heh heh mine coming on Wednesday so excited! That said, IKEA ALEXANDRA IS THE BEST! I am getting my dream kitchen after all And I found a acrylic solid top at super good price that looks exactly like real marble. Though we wanted Quartz, but the Silestone and Caesarstone never gave me design peace. I think I will just try to look after it better!! Exciting times. Also bought all my other electronics except TVs. Those are the last so no worries. Bought 3 Fanco fans!

    Babe, I saw one rattan shop with quite "modern" designs even though it's an old shop, at Bukit Merah Lane 1... When I went to Hong Liang for my electronics. You want I take a pic of the shop for you on Monday when I drop by.
  21. bykaraanne
    Hahaha! My WCs will be delivered whenever. My contractor say just ask plumber come and put only. I'm buying on Monday. My Guest BR must wait. Thanks anyway! No progress for a while I think. Contractor haven't give me ETA for my cornice and painting. TB Lights and shower stuff will come on Wednesday... But short of one light LOL. Yours fast and furious!

    Toilet wall is up... Other than that reno will slow down for a while. Cornice + painting to be up next, then electrical and doors. Have to wait for the tiler uncle to come back when he has time to redo the kerb and the shower ledge that Edmund forgot. We're meeting IKEA Alexandra on Monday to finalize the kitchen, and if all is well, we'll book an appointment right there and they should be able to come in early October to install it. We're also going to Evershine on Monday to look at countertops. Decided to broaden our options since I'm still not 100% satisfied with Silestone's Lyra... Love Evershine's Gloria Range's Natural Cirrus (which looks JUST like real marble) but it's solid top... >.<
