rainbowgal 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2009 Update today is a busy day.. went to Hafary @ Defu, Hafary @ Balestier & Soon Bee Huat @ Toh Guan.. 1) Hafary @ Defu: Showroom is nice but not as impressive as Soon Bee Huat @ Changi. I do agree with several RT members on the selection of tiles that Hafary has.. Somehow, it look nicer!! No one approach us if we need help... so we left and went to Balestier branch! 2) Hafary @ Balestier: We selected some tiles and the staff there is very pro! He is able to help us visualize and provide good advices! Made us rethink of the colors combination!! and of course, we found something that we realli realli like!! 3) Soon Bee Huat @ Toh Guan: Hmmm... is a disappointment as compared to the branch at Changi Road... Can give it a miss! We will be going to Soon Bee Huat @ Changi Road tomorrow to find if we can find similar/same tiles that we have selected from Hafary because when my HTB called Jason if we can use Hafary tiles.. he sound disappointed.. so.... if possible, we will try to avoid Hafary.. Hope we can find!!! Will post the pics.... esp the beautiful Soon Bee Huat @ Changi Road showroom! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2009 hmm. just curious, did u all ever ask Jason why he do not like Hafary? Uncle Soon also doesn't quite like Hafary, though he doesn't mind ordering from them. he says something about their delivery and payment schedule. mm They prefer Sin Lek cos they are old friends.

rainbowgal 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) Update - 1 Nov 09 Yes, I am a happy woman now! Finally selected the tiles for the toilets! Not from Hafary (luckily we were able to find something we like at Soon Bee Huat)... at least Jason will not be disappointed. After much consideration, we decided on the following: 1) Common Toilet To be a black, white & green mosaic concept: a) Black tile: b) White tile: c) Green mosaic contrast with black tile: Edited November 1, 2009 by rainbowgal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rainbowgal 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2009 2) MBR Toilet Using the same black and white tiles for Common toilet with dazzling blue mosaic concept: a) Dazzling blue mosaic with black tile: For the MBR Toilet, it should look something like this (similar to Soon Bee Huat's showroom): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rainbowgal 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2009 For the floor tiles, we will be using the same kind for both Kitchen and Toilets.. White in color but rough texture cos' my HTB scare of falling down.. haha... Not going to do for the kitchen wall tiles cos' of budget issue (almost 3-4k for wall tiles in kitchen).. plus we dun think we will cook that often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
