    Yeah my contractor was very surprised at the IKEA cabinetry especially for the kitchens. Said the laminated fronts look very good quality. I've not had problems with quality, except my bunnies like to chew on their furniture zzz

    Leftover things on my contractor's agenda: LIST OF THINGS LEFT ON AGENDA: - Electrical (+1 double socket) - Installation of lights x6 and fans x3 - Shower ledge - Shower kerb - Shower Glass Panels x2 - Painting of door and gate - Cornices - Painting of wall - Gas Heater Piping to bathrooms - Installation of doors (total no. 5) - installation of toilet accessories - installation of WCs - installation of showers Decided against doing my wall mouldings (sad) because it made my tiny living room look cluttered. And that's not a look I want. So I gave up on that. Mouldings on my door would mean less smooth paint... So just gonna paint over with light grey paint and Matt black for my gate.

    Btw re: solid surface top. My current place is an EC which came with it. I cleaned with kitchen cleaner and magic sponge briefly (1min) after cooking and zero stains at all. Singaporeans everything also want luxury... So see IKEA no up. Hahahaha! My personal opinion.

    Yes... All rubbish IMO. IKEA's things are cheap so they come with a bit of maintenance, but at least I always get what I see. For hoe Kee etc, they mark up so much and still got so many complaints of rusting. I've used both IKEA and WMF stainless steel ware for years and you know what? IKEA ones didn't rust for me but WMF ones were super high maintenance. I love them, but boy sometimes I rather just buy and throw IKEA ones. cannot compare $100+ to like $12.90 things la!! My IKEA furniture have all held up to the test (I work from home and all my furniture is IKEA) BUT not with a bit of maintenance (I always use rubber protective pads for my tables) and I take care of them. Singaporeans just like to complain about IKEA IMO. Cus we're so used to paying for custom stuff. A lot of it also crap. IKEA has a great returns policy - I once refunded fully a sinking/warping table that was 6 months old. Their things are for a certain purpose... So with care and using it the right way they do hold up. As for the custom ones and the balestier / geylang shop ones, we can only go by faith... Does that make sense? Haha! The compilation also... Some people do sliding door with no problems, some hate it... All subjective la! U got budget then do better, if not IKEA is subject to stringent EU standards and I trust them and their return policy more than any other store.

    Begrudgingly cancelled my Amazon order because read that the Rachael Ray's lazy tools aren't that best for gas hobs (and I really hate electric ones), the Rubbermaid QC is not there and it explodes (OMG!) and the towels shed lint. Back to my trusty IKEA then. They have yet to fail me yet, even though they don't have fancy designs...

    My contractor is stated in my signature already... For the quotation, it's not very accurate yet as I've removed and added a lot of things due to having no carpentry with him and having the bathtub installed nicely.

    Hahahaha!! My toilet lights all very simple. Flat Philips waterproof sealed lights haha!! I most likely will redo it. It's too ugly haha. If not I try ask them grout or whatever it all the same grey! I wish my real hubby was like Giroud man That week when they were here even he also star struck. He's very handsome IRL.
  16. bykaraanne
    Hanor I also think so. I will ask, but I prefer if all black.. The bathtub is use PVC. Already spoke to them... See how can rectify or redo. But nvm see my couple photo with Giroud will cheer up a bit.

    My hubby is a gross Chelsea fan hahaha! Anyway, we always buy lunch and drinks for him... But I might bao too. He was very ok with us wanting to change the kerb when my husband talked to him this morning. Think he also think quite ugly LOL. Maybe he didn't think the inside of the HDB tile so ugly one. Ok la show you all pic: (I've taken it as a personal failure wtf haha)
  21. bykaraanne
    Nothing big la! Just the shower kerb in my guest BR. SO UGLY I can't even.Then cus my tiles I thought I could've chosen better, but still ok la... So was a bit demoralized haha! I think also my own fault, Cus my design is less fixture based but more decor based, so of course now looks like nothing... Hehe. Thanks babe. I can't wait to see your updates!! I'm sure it would be beautiful
  22. bykaraanne
    Hahaha NO WONDER I like you Thanks! I don't think the tiles are supposed to grey but hahaha I'm sure it'll look fine either way. I might enquire about the mirrored wall, but my contractor says I alre give him headache because of my kerb and door. Think must wait a while then lay this on him. Haha.
