booy 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2009 Today had a busy day selecting the toilet tiles.. We went to both LSH and Hafary... Without fail, we carried two big bags of samples back.. Now after some filtering, we are left with one combination from LSH and Hafary each... Tough decision.. We also popped by Edison lightings.. It's has a surprisingly good selection of lightings.. esp. dining lights.. And seems to be even cheaper than Chan Huat for some.. But we still controlled ourselves first and decided to continue looking around first.. We went to Poh Joo at Lavender again, prices are really cheap for a lot of things, but the things there just doesn't catch my eyes.. After some comparision, I recalled that Universal Union has a better selection of things and prices are only slightly higher than PJ.. So we went back to Universal Union for the 2nd time to buy all the remaining toilet accessories, Joven heater and rainshower.. Their prices are very attractive and surprisingly has 30% off for many items NOW.. So for those who are interested in toilet stuff, you may take a look there... Initially, we only wanted to get the toilet related stuff there, but we found that their fujioh hob and hood are also relatively cheaper, so we also settled this headache there as well.. 1 bird kills 2 stones! Since we were already at Geylang, we went to Lighting Centre again to look at our fav crystal light for the MBR.. After some discounts, we cannot helped ourselves but bought it.. More photos coming.. Too tired to load them today.. Stay tune! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

booy 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2009 was ask to go Edison as well..how's the prices like? did you check on their downlights? can also share with me the fujioh hob and hood price? i'm also looking around for these... Think you should go to take a look! Simple room lights cost slightly less than $100 to $200+ on average... The dining lights are around slightly less than $200 to $300+ on average... Didn't check on downlights because the downlights in my home are done up.. The price tags there are all bluff ones, you need to ask the sales assistant and the uncle that we met today told us a lot of stories abt the lights... And he seemed very willing to negotiate on the prices if you talked more with him.. Our fujioh hob (glass one) and hood costs $700.. Cannot rem model number.. Maybe Smartie can provide..

smartie 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2009 Our Fujioh gas hob is model FG 793 GL. Hood is FX 900. Actually, Goh Ah Bee is still a bit cheaper because their prices are nett whereas for Universal Union, need to add 7% GST. But for convenience sake, I decided to buy at Universal Union instead of making another trip to Kovan. Also Universal Union accepts credit card, so I can offset a portion of the price difference with the cash rebate given by the card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smartie 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 Time for toilet tiles photos Here are the ones we brought back from Hafary. These are from LSH: After some filtering, we shortlisted 1 each from LSH and Hafary. Both are the 3rd option (3rd from left) in the photos. Here's the display of the Hafary tiles at their showroom. Supposed to be from Spain. Original price is $4.20psf but now got 20% off. The display for our shortlisted LSH tiles. Wall tiles will be mainly the beige one. Will use some brown tiles to complement (but still haven't decided how yet).The 2nd photo has our chosen floor tile on the lower left. After more consideration, we most probably will go for LSH. The colours fit the overall theme of the house better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

booy 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 after seeing ur tiles, must say tat the tiles selection at LSH and hafary are definitely better and more variety We didn't go to the other stores.. But from all the feedback that I got, LSH is slightly more old school while Hafary is more new school kind.. Both are very popular compared to the rest..

booy 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 mmm the LSH ones have a rustic look.. much like a spa! nice choices. Actually, we are quite torn between the LSH and Hafary selection.. The Hafary selection has a more refreshing feel.. And the tiles can create a leafy shape.. It's very nice! LSH one is the safer kind.. Because it won't go too wrong.. Just afraid that it's too ordinary.. haha.. Now I'm thinking of how to place the dark brown tiles if we choose the LSH one.. hmmm.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
