    The wood part on the wall in your living area are 1.8m plank tiles?

    I think you can go for an ombre shade to use on diy furniture from ikea or on the wall? Same color but lighter shade? Can mix with white paint to get a lighter shade for contrast but depends on whether you want to highlight the color as well

    Looking good. MayI have the link for the dining table, barn doors? Do you think you can review on the quality of these 2 andthe cost for them?

    Cotto brand, you can check out the thai website and look for the distributors I think. Haven't checked the website but I know there's a few shops carrying cotto brand in malaysia. Singapore I don't know as I have yet to come across the brand in sg. I don't care about the brand. I care about budget, and water saving factors more. Craft bricks is cheaper in malaysia definitely but transport + customs tax I don't know. Need to self arrange as no delivery direct to sg. But if anyone wants to order them, best is to do it before April when GST kicks in.

    I don't keep track of renotalk stuff alot. Only read here and there. Actually, Not only roca stuff, there's also like toto brand and it's joint brand with a thai co, cotto brand in JB. I recall a forumer brought back his craft bricks from JB so I reckon, tiles can be brought back too if there's some transport.
  7. BunBun
    Ah, well there's always the option to drive to JB and bring one of them back. There's like a big showroom in Bukit Indah or Johor Jaya if I'm not mistaken cos I think I saw them when I went into JB,

    About your toilet search for roca WC.. I'm really curious.... Why didn't you check with roca singapore and ask them for a show branch address in singapore if they have any? If not, you could ask whether there is any distributor that carries their brand. Because frankly, distributors especially the small shops will try to give reasonable pricing if you are really a serious buyer. Most of us have to do alot of digging and comparing results on the shops and of course the right direction to go for the sales.

    My understanding on the amp rating for cooking hobs goes like this.... Induction Hob can range from 15-30A depending on the wattage range. your induction hob is in. Eg, Total power of cooking hob is 7000W or 7kW which requires a 30A rating & the cooking zones on the hob will have different kW. (You can read the specifications for the model you are interested in) This is why for induction & vitroceramic hobs, you can't fully utilize ALL cooking zones to the max because you will be pushing the amp rating further. Usually for 30cm hob, you can use only 1 cooking zone while for a 60cm hob, I think max is 2 or 3 cooking zone at the same time. Different models will have certain limits for the max number of cooking zones you can use at the same time, so be sure to check with the shop or manufacturer for clarification regarding the usage in HDB. I'm using a vitroceramic hob, 30cm by the way and have been using only 1 cooking zone to cook at a time because I was told this by the salesperson when I bought my hob last time Aircon amp rating is 15-20A. For aircon power affecting the amp rating, I'm not sure but I do know the amp rating is in that range. So combine with the usage of both cooking hob and aircon at the same time, your amp rating will have been exceeded by then. Probably a power trip or fuse blown as a result.

    I thought the mixer tap is usually installed slightly above the tub, kinda like the standard ones besides having a shower hose used in hotels? For this bathtub at APA hotel that I mentioned, the tap is shared between the wash basin and bathtub. The tap as you can see has a long spout and movable that you can swivel left and right to use above the tub or at the basin.

    You've mentioned your wife is a Japanese earlier in your thread. I can see she has incorporated her style in the home interior design. I like this because it has a soothing feel. If you have lace curtains with or without patterns hanging on the mild steel partition, it will be a softer and reminiscent feel of 80s vintage style. About bathtub, the smallest bathtub in a hotel I've seen is at the APA hotel in Hiroshima! But really cute design as it is in the shape of a egg Show you a picture of their bathtub here. The tap is shared between the tub and wash basin as you can see & sitting in it will remind you of the olden days in japan where people bathed in a wooden circular tub?

    Your home makeover gives me the feeling of a slightly distinct japanese style except that if your home had those japanese shoji sliding doors instead of the mild steel partition, it will definitely be more pronounced in the modern-japanese style. Muji doesn't even come close to describing your house style considering that Muji gives me the feeling of a low cost 'thrift' store ambiance

    Nice place. Never saw a pastel scandinavian look before.

    If you notice that in Japan, the streets are really clean! During my stay in japan last time, I couldn't even see any rubbish litter on the streets. Even there are no rubbish outside of the bins unlike how the rubbish is strewn around the bins in HDB void decks & surroundings when the bins are full. I discovered that the japanese are extremely FIT because their train exits are via 2-3 stories of staircases as well. There are those who stay in apartments and recycling is done manually on designated days because if one misses the time to throw out the garbage, the garbage will have to stay with him until the next time. Frankly, the values of being clean, organized and clutter free is pretty much doctrined in japanese people that they clean up after them which I think is not bad because it teaches youngsters the same value and the youngsters also see their seniors walk the talk too.

    I would use it if I can but I currently have 2 blenders and not enough countertop space for the juicer. Only option to sell it.. Or else wasted since brand new!

    You're welcome. The dummy face plate is called blank switch cover. http://www.meteorelectrical.com/images/1-gang-blank-cover-plate.jpg Saw this in my B.F.'s place where the common toilet is small and not suitable for a bathroom. Their wireman still install a water heater 1 gang switch and the blank switch cover to hide the wires for a 'future' water heater in the future if my B.F. decides to install one next time

    Nice. I won the Kuvings juicer a few months back in a lucky draw but it's sitting in the storeroom at the moment because I'm using a blender & processor in 1 which can be used to puree, make fruit juices or make hot drinks according to my mother. So I haven't had the chance to use it and I think it will be a white elephant for a while unless mine breaks down or I sell it? I read the Kuvings brochure that came with it actually, and it says it has 10 years warranty though.

    Like i said before, my purchase was nearly 7 years ago. So I don't know whether the quality has improved or not for the philips vacuum cleaners.
  21. BunBun
    Won't this one be easily be remedied now since they are doing reno at the moment. They could ask their wireman to add a new set of wire for fan and cover it up with a dummy faceplate so that the next time they want to install a ceiling fan, all they need is to install the ceiling fan, unscrew the dummy faceplate and replace with a fan switch?

    Cool! About Point 9 and Point 11 of your purchase list... Point 9. Philips sucks for their vacuum cleaner in my own view but I don't know how the quality is now considering I bought my philip bag less vacuum cleaner over nearly 7 years ago. Barely 3-6 months after the purchase of the vacuum cleaner, it KO-ed and was working fine after sending it for repair under warranty. It KO-ed again after a month or two. Needless to say, I ditched the vacuum cleaner after it KO-ed 3rd time, for a cheap vacuum cleaner which worked better than philips. It's still at my place to date and working fine now. Point 11. I'm wondering how your hubby comes up with the ceiling fan circulation reasoning? A ceiling fan can cool the room by circulating the air only, not cooling the air. However, the fan circulation ability will depend on the size of the fan and the room size. It also helps that if you have air-con in the MBR and the temperature is set for 25-26 deg with programable function to turn off the air con after a while, the fan will help distribute the cool air even more. You can tell the difference immediately & plus, you save a lot on electricity bill because the lower the air-con temperature, the more energy needed to bring the air to the required temperature. This is especially true in hot weather during the day time as well. Also standing fans need to unscrew first before you can clean the blades. This is also annoying as you need to do it every few months when the cow webs appears and air circulation is not as fast as before..

    I was hoping to avoid this because like some of the forumers here, the chinese is really bad! Even using google translation isn't 100% accurate. Actually I was looking for this or either some nice vinyl stickers to stick in the bathrooms because the cut out holes for the exposed pipes (the exposed pipes are sealed with cap and not connected to anything), aren't prettily done. So want to cover these holes up .

    Puggy, are you referring to the leather recliner eames chair? If yes, then we are talking about different eames models. My apologies for not catching on that as been surfing a lot of forums. The Eames chair i am referring to is this one.
