Hi Lin/L3x They are only going to start hacking tis week. The aluminum bi-fold got white and black frame. We chose grey tiles for the MBR toilet, dats y chose black door frame with dark grey panels. My other half like the 2 tone with border (which isn't exactly my choice), i prefer wat u chose, 1 color for the entire space. wat to do, its his home too.... I wil take some pics tis weekend when i go check on the progress.... got to check how to post the pics. we decided not to fix pc, but to get a new one when we move in.... in the meantime paying mthly broadband for nothing... Waiting to see ur finished bathroom and kitchen, these r my fav spaces.

Hi Lin Me chose the same toilet door too. U change MBR bathroom door too? We chose the black one for dat. About the tiling, thanks for sharing... I will talk to the renovator before they start work.

Hi Bluefly, When wil it b done? Pls post pics of it after... I m trying to check if the counter top can be cut with a grove (step), so that the sink sits on half the counter top. This way it will be just slightly lower the counter top. Thx.

Hi Lin I wil most probably start blog when the reno works start. PC at home died and don't know want to fix or jus get new system ( i'll leave dat to hubby), and also not dat convenient to do stuff at work. My renovator said to run both pipes along each other, so wont hv pipes everywhere... I m thinkg of changing all pipes to copper/ stainless steel pipe. R u changing the pvc pipes to copper/stainless steel? Facing same issue with u about the kitchen cabinet, mean w rdgs to beam....we r going for solid wood cabinet, so putting the glass and lightings to block out the pipings/beam don't go w theme. So no choice but to build all the way, wat a waste of $$.

HI HI Another neighbor... btw, did u chose the hdb tiles or u top up for others? I wil b going to choose them tis wkend @JW.

Hi kingzkong, wow... love the paint colors of grey !! , cool and bright. My hubby like the warm brown tones, i wil show him ur blog to change his mind. pls help....can't c clearly the shower screen in ur pics, pls share if u cut the glass to accommodate the pipings? I m trying to avoid that. Thx...

applefreak, from ur blog ur sink area is a concrete counter. mine wil be part of the kitchen cabinet, wonder if the sink wil sit well and also if undermount wil water seeps into the wood and ltr the area under sink wil collaspe? Bluefly, thx for the explaination, the 1st pics is wat i would like it to be. Must say that the blanco metra9 @399 is a gd deal as most blanco sinks costs 500 & above.

Hi Lin If u don't want to alter, u might wanna check out Ikea KVARTAL series, it allows the rail to be mounted via wall brackets. Can't c clearly from ur 3D, r u putting shower screen in bathrooms? Trying to avoid cutting the glass to accommondate the pipings, but if re-run above the screen, then hv to run another one for toilet bowl and wash basin, means got 3 pipes, kinda UGLY.

Hi Strychnine Welcome to YS . I tot i late to get keys last mth. U lagi late. Pls check all tiles, doors, windows, I didn't check them carefully til last wkend. When renovator was there, he found all toilet floors very holey, cracked tiles, my kitchen hv 2 different color wall tiles, rusty window screws and door hinges, etc. Now hv to kiv reno til hdb fixed them

Hi Lin Wow , looking at the fab 3D done by your ID....now i kinda regret not getting ID firm to do my reno. So u r joining the MBR and the middle bedroom into one? Did u choose the 6621 tiles or the other? Very excited for u... esp after seeing the fab designs done. !!

Hi lingie, U can check if they hv dual voltage model available. We always get dual voltage appliances whenever possible. Hi all, my advise is to check for consumption when u buy washer/dryer/frdige. Cause these appliances are used frequently, price of items is a one time payment, where the electrical bill is every mth. Some of the europe brand consumption is pretty high, so think long run. Had a Maytag fridge that cost $20-30 more each mth, realise dat only when we change to a Mitsubishi fridge, and the Mit fridge is a bigger capacity. Jus my 2 cents worth...

Hi Sarah I didn't buy the crystal lights. Saw them in MBK. I didn't go Chatuchak, raining cats & dogs, also after shopping in MBK, no more luggage space. I like to shop in MBK, got food and relax for a short massage. Phoenix, I stayed in Pathuwam Princess, so jus shop>run and dropped off> go shop again. SHIOK But quite ex, next time i will try out Eastin Spa... Novotel Siam Square is convenient esp if u plan to travel about. I prefer to take their MRT or train svc than taxis, esp weekends, the traffic is terrible. If u dare take the tutu, its faster than taxi cause they can go thru small lanes, but if u r going with jus girlfriend, don't take risk.

Hi Applefeak Jus wondering if tis is an overmount or undermount sink? I m looking for an undermount, meaning dat the sink is lower than the counter top. Any idea where i can find one? Thx for sharing.

Hi Oh yeah>>> BKK, especially MBK is a great place to shop. I bought lots of beddings and deco pieces there. Didn't hv time to go Chatuchak, also weather not gd, lots of rain when i was there 2 weeks ago. The crystals lightings are beautiful and at 100 to 300 SGD are gd prices. But, how to keep them clean? For my new place, I avoid using any dangling crystals lightings. My previous rented place, there were 2 of them and they have kinda turn greyish because of dust, one of them even hv cobweb after 1 yr. It was sparkling clean when i moved in. Now dat i hv a little one and really don't hv time to do extra cleaning. !! !!
