aiya, if we'd known earlier, we wouldn't have gone all the way down to Everjoint at AMK.

Great great discounts at Everjoint too, but the distance is too far!

Our first choice for toilet wall tiles were black & white (with some 3D curves) too!

But it's too trendy for our overall design.

Our tiling will be finished by this week too

wow! ur progress seems like a rocket! (or mayb mine had delays la) haha..

initalli we wanted dark toilets(seems more classy) but it seems tt everyone pretty much objected to it sayin it'll b too dark. we're quite happy w the wall as it turned out.. e brightness makin it feel more spacious in tt cramped little place.

so what type of tiles did u choose in e end? ur hse is like a complete mystery!

Is it opposite a school?

I rem my dad was their old customer too!

But no one mentioned it in Renotalk so I've forgotten 'bt it.

We've bought all our electrical appliances - fridge, washer, even KDK fans - all from Everjoint.

We're upgraders so have got TV alrdy. Bought hood/hob & other bathroom/kitchen stuff from Poh Seng.

Air-con from Gain City.

I'm too lazy to start a blog lah, so if you're keen & u dun mind, I can post my pics in your blog!

We're not into fanciful designer stuff designs

cos no budget, plus I'm more practical - I'm the House Manager cum Maid.

So everything must be easy to clean, easy to upkeep.

The less things/shelves/glass for me to wipe, the better!

Yeah, i know what u mean. We've a budget, a long list.

But when go to the shop, that's it. If no control - $$$ just fly out.

When we were at Everjoint, we knew what we wanted already, brand & model & price all confirmed.

But the salesperson so tok gong...after listening to him, we changed all the brands & of cos, prices all increased.

progress updates:

reno has finally begun after numerous delays (permits, tiler issues)

some progress photos:

MBR toilet wall tiles up!

e 2 vertical feature wall tiles..

common toilet wall tiles:

horizontal feature wall tiles..

I think your bathroom tiles design are nicer than mine, esp. the MBR one - very trendy.

We took a long long time to choose - it was so difficult!

Plus we've got budget constrain so in the end, after the 2nd visit, we chose one of the safest (but also quite boring) design

hey, we had a similar experience too. Had in mind one brand, after comparing GAB, Everjoint and Mega, decided to go to Mega for our electrical stuff. At the shop, the salesman talk and talk, and gave us the "why you choose xx brand - not good one", and a thousand reasons to support the claim, and finally we changed our minds accordingly, and as you said, prices all increased.
