Hafary is just down the stretch. Can just walk in see see look look, got to be abit more thick skin. The sales staff will come and bug you but some of them quite good with their suggestions. I was upfront and told them am just looking around for ideas and those I met was ok with it.

Ooo! Congrates! Finally have a 2nd appt date to look forward to liao. Haha, I'll also suggest that u go look at the stuff u need to buy. There should be lots of good deals now, since it's GSS. But rem to check with the staff if they are able to hold on to ur purchases (if u do buy) till ur HO date.

Good to start browsing early, so that u guys can decide on the theme and items that u like.

Oh yah... im meeting Mr Yeak Thursday to measure my house..

mebe start on smth the other things will start to roll.. into place.

[Angel81 1]

Haha, actually it's not too soon to start. If start too late then will have to rush ur decisions during reno, and u won't have the luxury of time to slowly search for the items u like.

Agree with Angel, we also thought lots of time at first but once start, suddenly everything seems to be in a rush... As we can only meet people on weekends, we have only 5-6 weekends before the reno completes.

Based on our timeline so far:

1st weekend: Finalise tile selection (He takes only 3 days to hack everything and by 4th day, can start tiling I think); if you are going with a separate window contractor, he'll have to put up the frames before Yeak men's can complete the wall tiling. Which means, you got to meet and choose your color of the window frame by then.

2nd weekend: Order your kitchen/bathroom fittings, they are fixing them as of today (beginning of 3rd week into the reno)

3rd weekend: Discuss lighting and electrical points, can start looking/finalising lights.

4th weekend: Finalise paint selection and not sure what's next liao...

Btw, was in a Gain City last week to pay up for my aircon, heard the earliest installation is already mid-July, so do remember to factor that in if you are getting from them.

Hope these helps.

[Angel81 1]

[ling3bzr 0]

Kitchen tiles we shrt list..

after some mix and match, realise kitchen tiles the only tiles both of us cmf want..

the rest... still cant decide!!

[preciousjam 0]

the first one with the diamond print nice and unique...just have to consider if dirt will get stuck...but if it glossy one heard it'll be eazy to clean....

[Angel81 1]

Nice tiles! The diamond shaped wall tile look like the one ourwhiteresidence used for the kitchen.

And yup, precious is right, glossy tiles are REALLY very easy to clean. hehehe...

wahahaha, i actually made a mistake! July and June. aiya. since you still got 3 to 4 more weeks. you still got plenty of time now. go and read more lookbox, Home and Decor magazines, roughly get some colour schemes and carpentry ideas. and saliva over all the nice nice ex ex furniture too. btw, i like your white diamond shaped like tiles. looks special. how much it costs?
