Slight Problem Original idea was to have a dining table that extends out from the kitchen cabinets to make it look as a whole. After assembly and all, alamak, no space to put the refrigerator. Will have to redo the table and house the fridge next to the oven and then the dining table after. -

Some updates. My empty living room with craftstone brickwall and mirrored wall on the opposite side. Kitchen - I like that my grey sink blends well with the counter top. And my main bedroom with my big TV and soundbar below for cinematic experience..... haha -
Hi taufeek I have a similar 3 room layout as yours, except that my storeroom is in the centre of both bedrooms. Was, in fact, as I have hacked away the storeroom wall to make my main bedroom bigger. My bathroom is equally tiny so I can understand how you feel. You can erect a partition wall and extend the main bedroom toilet by a bit like the picture below.

Slight delay with the carpentry as my ID discovered that the carpentry was one inch short from his drawings, so they had to redo. Aircon is up tho. -

Hi @Pooroldman Sorry for the late reply. No it did not come with a pre-drilled tap hole. My contractor helped me drill a hole. I probably should have asked seller to do it as I am sure he can if I had informed him. Cheers -

Thanks for the advise, will check them when they arrive. Didn't want to buy expensive lights for the same reason. Yes, buying from tabao saves me half the cost of getting them in Singapore, and that saving is including shipping costs! I saw your blog, good luck with your reno. -

Hi @GraceLikeWaves Hope you liked the pictures. I figure pictures can explain about the reno better than words. My kitchen has just started the reno works and kitchen cabinet has not even been measured so I am unable to comment on this ID nor their workmanship yet. If you are interested to shortlist him, I'll be happy to forward his contact for your consideration. Cheers -

Not much update other than the electrical rewiring and craftstone brickwall are in progress too. Some of the TB craftstone bricks that arrived in the box were much darker than some of the others. Was supposed to be all white though. Anyhow, told the tiler to mix and match them when laying them and the outcome has a natural cave-like look. Turned out to be okay in the end. Phew.....
