Hi cute, this is only in the drawing...we decided to keep the hdb toilet bowl cos it still looks alright. So no black one for now...maybe change a few years down the road when this one spoils..hehe

Thanks! I changed all the bedroom doors for total of $1200 (2 of them wooden doors like in the pic and 1 tempered glass for the WIW). Not too sure of the individual breakdown though. Sorry.

Thanks pinkpetter! I like how the downlights turned out and after seeing the nice effect, now I don't regret paying a bit more for it, After all lighting does play an important role in the overall look of the house.

Anyway, here's 2 pics showing the progress on my study tables.
