Take pics of the plain tiles for us to see leh. Wana see the no grout lines tiles! Looks like they're getting better & better. grouting? no lei.. grouting almost done liao.. will try to take pics tomorrow morning cause the whole house now only left 2 fluorescent lights which made taking pics at night sux. your kitchen tiles selection is really nice,but i guess its suitable if u have a long kitchen wall... if i select it,i guess wont bring out the long horizontal line pattern nicely. the tiles need time getting use to. Oh.... your kitchen wall tiles is my MBR bathroom wall tiles.. NICE high 5. but we feel it's pretty hard to maintain as it's matt. gets scratched easily as compared to normal glossy white tiles.

jennchoi 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2009 A very big to all the renotalkers. Joined this forum a couple of months back and have been lurking around since. Got no time to really sit down and start a blog until today... or maybe it's because we're lazy.. lol.. Floor plan: Realized that this layout is pretty common (some of the renotalkers have the same layout) but we love it. Squarish, little floor space wastage, spacious bedrooms which are not in funny places and has high potential for walk in wardrobes in the master bedroom. We are already the official owners for the house but will only start the renovation probably end of this month. We should be engaging contractors as we know what we want to do. Approach and direction taken would be towards contemporary as we both like the clean sleek lines, smooth textures and polished metal feel. As this is our first house and first renovation, any advice and feedbacks are welcomed! The layout, after many rounds of changes and brainstorming, has already been finalized. Will upload it soon. The next step for us now is to confirm our contractor. Been to a few IDs and quite a number of contractors. The final 2 that we have shortlisted are superstar contractors from renotalk and i guess most of you know who they are Mr Yeak and Ah Soon. In our opinion: Mr Yeak - Reasonable pricing, looks honest and reliable. Very impressed by his workmanship, especially by his tiling. Feels quite connected with him when we tell him what we want to do. Can tell that he knows what we want by his response and inputs. Ah Soon - Very attractive pricing and looked very sincere and honest. Lots of room for improvement for his time management and workmanship. Close supervision and monitoring required during the renovation period. But for the price he offers, i think it's acceptable. Will provide us with more inputs on practicality then design. 1 vote for Mr Yeak from her and 1 vote for Ah Soon from me. After many many rounds of discussions, comparisons and compromises, we think that we most probably will go for Mr Yeak. Willing to pay more for better workmanship and lesser involvement (lesser headaches). Have not officially confirmed with him yet but think he's the one already. Just hope that his final qoute won't deviate too much from our budget, give us more discounts and we can start soon. Next up: Finalized layout and things to do hi, can you email me the contractor's number and email? which company is he from? jennchoi@gmail.com thnks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
