pinktini 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2010 Renovation permit will be submitted this week and hacking should start next week i think. Things are starting to move fast. Over the weekend, I spent some time at IMM and a few shops in Balestier looking for stuff. We went to Hoe Kee, Song-Cho, Sim Siang Choon, Asia Excel, Hafary etc etc. No idea how to select toilet bowls, we fell in love with the concealed cistern type at the Ideal Bathrooms showroom, but it'll take up a lot of space, and our bathroom is too small!! Thinking of making the entire MBR bathroom black, but how to make the small bathroom not look even smaller? This coming weekend, going to look at laminates and more tiles and sanitaryware. Anyway, here's the finalised plan, colours might change. Overview Living room Dining area Kitchen Common bathroom- not making too much changes, only changing the toilet bowl, sink and shower screen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Master bedroom MBR bathroom & Walk in wardrobe - but with cupboard doors to prevent dust hope the end result of the renovations are similar to the pictures!

pinktini 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 shinh: hehe, ya lor. waiting for your pics also leh, maybe u shld start a t-blog here. coldflamez: ya man! FINALLY. updates... hacking permit approved! demolition works will be carried out from monday to wednesday (12/04 to 14/04). went to see the place today, all built in cabinets, cornices removed! for shops... went down to EDL Laminates @ Sungei Kadut today. Cos of the stupid jams, we only managed to go here today, cos couldn't have the car for the whole day, so very inconvenient to get around. and needless to say, with the rise in car prices, we'll never be the owner of a vehicle anytime soon. before talking bout laminates, I also went down to Outram to collect a prize I won from a magazine contest, yippee!! been eyeing it, so lucky I nv buy yet! the ppl at EDL were very friendly. I told them about what I need and not only did they patiently recommend the different patterns to us, they even gave us a catalogue to bring home! Most impressed with their latest edging laminate. highly likely I'm getting my carpenter to get the laminates from here. using this for the wardrobes, going for full black stripes with white in the middle! samples of laminates we selected, the white floral pattern is for feature wall in the living room. tomorrow: tiles + bathroom shopping!
