my biggest complaint about big box is their prices dont reflect GST. cheaters!

is your bathroom vanity custom made dear?

Wow thanks for all the taobao links! Can I check what watt bulb you used for the dining light? Are the T5 lights for the toilet? Thanks!!

hello! i was thinking of doing Nippon Momento too! Do you mind showing a picture of it as a whole? Thanks

Hi there, where are your cupboard and mirror from? thanks!

I've been missing from this space for awhile! Got my key on 2 January and believe it or not, to date I have yet to finalize a contractor. Working around a budget definitely isn't easy but we've decided on the following 'must-have' items. We opted out of flooring from HDB in the fear that I would end up with something I didnt like. 1) Flooring (homogeneous tiles) for the living and dining room 2) Floating 5ft shoe cabinet 3) Wall Mounted Shelving behind the sofa 4) Hack off half the kitchen wall separating the dining and the kitchen so it has a semi open concept vibe 5) Overlay both toilet floors (the HDB tiles just seem to show up dirt SO easily) 6) Replace both toilet doors as HDB gave a huge wood door which would hit my shower screen each time. 7) Swing door shower screens for both toilets 8) Overlay toilet wall tiles in L shape for both toilets 9) WIW for Bedroom 2 10) L shape wardrobe in MBR 11) Open shelving in BR2 to display the hubs toys The one thing bugging me is how to conceal the TV wires WITHOUT doing a feature wall.

looking forward to seeing your progress as I just got my key recently for 5 room BTO tooooo!

As are you! Yours is by far my favorite t-blog I think your idea might be good! Maybe I should show my cheaper items to the contractor but scared lah, wait they tell me "ok you can go use person X in that case'! And thank YOU so much for the taobao review, I have a MASSIVE taobao order waiting to be checked out in the hopes of saving a buck or two!

Oh gosh MrK that's terrible! Hope it didn't screw up your reno but at least their compensation was super gooood!!

Wow! MrK how did you do that?! I tried at LEAST 10x Liao they just tell me my item doesn't fall in their dimensions to qualify for free shipping *sianjipua*

yah, way above what i've got from other contractors. there might be a valid reason for it of course but out of my budget!

I think your post has sure boosted their popularity I received a quote from E and almost fainted!

Thank you so much! Can I check if the second link comes with the track? It says one set, how many bulbs is that do u know? Many Thanks! http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=35905774660

Hi Jez, you're one of the nicest bloggers here, thanks so much for your reply!

I've never laughed so much at a T-blog before. Gorgeous designs you have there. Would you mind sharing your contractor's contact? I'm still in the midst of confirming mine despite already getting my keys!
