Arino Shower Mixer for common bathroom

Arino Basin Mixer for common bathroom

Arino Shower Head for common bathroom. But now i'm tempted to also get a rain shower for the common bathroom leh... Sigh, apetite seems to be getting bigger and bigger, same thing for the holes in our pockets

First saw this washing basin at Universal Union, but subsequently bought it at a much cheaper price at Royal Fanco. As I now look at this pic that I took at Universal, the mixer looks suspiciously alike to the Nobel one that we bought at Royal.

WMF Philadelphia Cutlery Set. Can't remember whether it was 32/34/36 piece set.

Hi,

Thank you.

The brand for the WC is Imperial and the model is Zeto. It's an Australian brand with some water saving thingy. Actually we have not heard of this brand before, so don't whether it's good or not. But we just like the look and just took the plunge. It costs $400 per piece and we bought it from a shop call Euro Classics. It's very near Lian Sin Heng.

For the wash basin, the square one is $100. It's small, 40 cm x 40 cm but no choice since our toilets are so small. For the rectangular one, it's $135.

your place is very nice n cosy too. altho still no chance to visit.

Hi crazycar, just curious. I thought HDB do not allow to hack toilet wall and tiles for new flats less than 3 years old?

Hi Jasch,

Both my doors the handle on the right leh. Sorry can't help.

Week 2

Today I can't step into the house because when I reached there, the tiles to out living room are already laid. So just snapped a few pictures from outside.

My living Room. It sure looks bigger with the white tiles.

The door kerb.

A close-up of the tiles. Just love the tiles. Must say that the worksmanship is not bad. Even without the grout lines filled, the gaps seem small.

its ok.. Thanks anyway!!

my Id say the carpenter can modify the door at a cost of $100.. hmmm.. dunno sld let them modify or just buy a new one..

btw your progress is so much faster then mine.. your floor is up but when i went up to take a look just now nothing is done yet.. only some of the tiles moved to the respective rooms... dunno wats taking them so long...

hi, you are right. we cannot hack toilet tiles for 3 years. so i did not hack my toilet tiles. i just hacked the kitchen floor tiles so that my new kitchen floor tiles will be level with my living room.

They have also lay corrugated paper to protect the flooring.

The new doorway to our bedroom is also up.

Tiling for the one side of kitchen wall has also started. It's white tiles (again) with fine lines.

Update for 27 Feb 08

Today we hit the first upset of our reno journey. More on that later. Some latest pictures to share first.

Common toilet wall tiles are up. Combi of black and white tiles. The same theme that we are using throughout the whole house.

A closer look at the black tiles. Fine lines as pattern to break the boring plain look. Please pardon the dirty look. The while tiles will look similar, just that it's white.

Master bedroom toilet wall tiles are up. Marble look alike white tiles.

A closer look at the tiles.

Herein lies our first upset. The quality of the tiles we used for the master bedroom toilet wall is not too good. Found that there are quite a no. of tiles with chipped corners and jaggered edges. Hopefully, it will be better after the grout lines are filled up.

More kitchen wall tiles are up. Initially we were quite worried about the effect of this tile. But after seeing them laid across a big piece of wall, quite like the look.

This picture captures the difference between the new tiles and the original HDB provided tiles.

Materials for my false ceiling are loaded. According to my ID, ceiling work will start tomorrow or the day after.

Wow!!

Total transformation for your kitchen wall tiles!

The grout line is indeed very fine!

Good worksmanship!!
