armypig 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 Windows arrived. Silver frame, black glass Kitchen wall tiles (back splash) laid. Wiring laid. Window frame laid. Earlier, we were considering what kind of backsplash to use: Option 1: Tempered glass Disadvantage: Cannot take prolonged/ strong heat and Glass will shattered due to a strong, careless knock, especially for clumsy people like me. Advantage: Easy to clean and maintain. Looks presentable. Option 2: "Laminate"... Saw this wall panel in IKEA catalogue. Claims to be heat resistant as it has a good content of melamine. Disadvantage: Not sure how much heat it can take. Being plastic, there is a fire risk involved. Advantage: Cheap and replaceable. Option 3: Wall tiles. Probably the most traditional. Disadvantage: Discolouration will occur in the grouting. Advantage: Easy to clean and strong "crash"-resistance Option 4: Stainless Steel. Metallic feel. Disadvantage: May get sticky easily. May rust depending on grade. Advantage: Durable. In the end, we went with the traditional choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
armypig 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 Renovation is now in the final stages: Left with Plastering, painting, fixing the windows & grilles, electrical works and carpentry. Facing cashflow problem soon. We selected the colour for kitchen cabinet, bedroom floor laminate ( 3 different colours/ textures for the 3 bedrooms!!!), laminates for wardrobe and Masterbed feature wall. The objective is to have different themes for different areas of our home. The paint colours were selected. The ID has stated that he will be using Matex paint but we selected from the catalogues of Nippon and ICI. Hope the skills of his painters are good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

armypig 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2009 hihi! can share which brand of mattress did you buy and how much? Correction: We went to S&C on 26.11.2009 and the rest on 27.11.2009. Pricing, it was on a lump sum, package pricing. The brand is, i think, Prince. Recommended by shop owner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
