damsel in de-stress 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 Need advice on toilet door! My toilet door is the standard HDB bi-fold type. The design of my MBR toilet is such that the glass shower screen goes on the left of the door and the vanity top with sink on its right. However, when the door opens fully to the right, it will hit the vanity top. Even if I changed the door's direction to open to the left, it will then hit my shower screen... You can see the existing situtation before reno below and the toilet design as well. What can I do to preserve my toilet design but still have a door? Any creative ideas?!? Help... Your bathroom is so gorgeous! I love the shelves! :-) How much were you charged for that, if you don't mind telling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After some consideration, my hb said he prefers the roller type. Can I ask where you guys went to get your curtains? What type of material is most 'cooling' (if there's such a material)...hee Edited October 9, 2008 by mmycheng Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a rather eventful day and my poor hb is tired out... hug... Hihi, For my case, we left the installation of the gas pipes to the ID to coordinate.. Initially, I thought is pay the ID for the installation , only realised that it is paid to citygas when I received the SP bills for the installation this month ...Haa blur... but i got shock at first glance .. thot the renovation guys must be playing with water to have my bill hit over $120 ...

mmycheng 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2008 In today's Renotalk feature, we look at the progress of Mandy and Lincoln's first home renovation... let's take a listen at what the homeowners have to say... "My purple colour is turning out to be rather royal looking!" "The kitchen is one of my favourite parts and I'm excited it has started...I can't wait to use it!" "My ugly bomb shelter door is completely hidden and I've got a big shoerack for my shoe collection. Yippee!" "We decided to play around with the wall paints instead of sticking to the conservative white tones. Hence, we injected a mix of dark and brighter colours to accentuate certain walls" "Bye bye old toilet sink..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CBLAI 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2008 Ok thanks. There's a standard pipe? Or can choose different materials? Do we need to arrange for city gas to install pipe??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmycheng 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2008 Do we need to arrange for city gas to install pipe??? Most say their ID help them do it. We did it ourselves tho... But payment of $100 is by us through our citygas account, not by ID. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
