speakin bout toilet tiles, as i see the tilin go up, cant help but feel my common toilet is nicer than my MBR toilet.........

tts realli like a sinkin feelin!

common toilet has a dark flooring while mbr toilet is predominantly white n shiny.. dark effect seems nicer wor..

will post photos aft its completed.. supposed to have been completed alr but Henry forgot to build e 'niche' area in the mbr bath area, so its still under rectification. post photos when its done...

MBR toilet supposed to be nicer one! wife actually commented she rather go common toilet bathe next time since its nicer(im more than happy to let her do so, wahahha)

Our living & dining room floor tiles are whitest of the whites.

While the kitchen floor tiles are dark olive green.

On first sight from entrance, it'll be so pretty to see the entire floor from dining to kitchen all white & shiny lor,

so that's my only regret.

But then again, we purposely chose dark tiles for kitchen floor cos it's easier to maintain.

So practicality wins again

Hey, you're right!

But I'm not sure if it'll be difficult to maintain & may be slippery since it's in the kitchen?

I have not come across any kitchen with shiny tiles wor

jus need to install toilet bowl n boxup e big pipe now.

luckily we installed storage heater. we tried all cold water and the rain shower was light drizzling small driplets. only mixed with hot water did it become a 'RAIN' shower.

our vvv big WIW area. Henry commented he's nv made such a big area for WIW before. haha

our aircon trunkin was installed today. hmm, looks **** ugly can the board and the ugly piping. does this look normal? the board seems to b installed and quite uneven at some parts. paint over it oso feel like its ugly. is tis normall???

ALl these were bought from Royal Fanco from Jln Besar. The service was good and prices competitive. Love their service(the couple of henry and wife(i assume) were fabulously helpful. But NONONO haggling of prices though. haha. but we were willing to pay for the service la.

We got all our toilet and kitchen stuff from Royal Franco too... Yup the lady boss is his wife (i think the name is Lena... or something like that), nice couple and good service from them

many many pipes runnin arnd. whats e norm? paint over dem?

My toilet also got a lot of ugly pipes that we don't even know how to box up. Spent many sleepless night thinking about solutions... In the end, we were so fed up that we just simply painted the pipes

haven't been updating for awhile. Time for some updates.

So far, painting has been done. Lights installin at this moment by ah liang. Floor laminate to be installed this week.

Progress has been kinda slow. Had delays by the carpenter when we were supposed to meet him. Sway sway he kena car accident on e way to meetin us and had to delay for 1 wk before our meetin took place..

anyway, photo updates:

front gate installed! metalworld replicate, gt e photo fr metalworld and let henry source for similar gate so i guess its custom made. cheaper by 100+ bucks though.

our foyer orange sunkiss wall! hope it'd give a warm feelin when we enter our hse. will be havin our shoe cabinet beside it.

our livin rm feature wall false wall up and painted rose white. most walls in rose white in e house.

study marina blue wall! its stated 'colour of the year' in 2010 dulux catalogue. wife loves it @ 1st sight!

MBR purple backhead feature wall with amethyst purple ceiling and cove lights to be installed.

skyline grey in the last room. amazingly tis colour came out pretty nice n it was probably the colour we chose the fastest.. haha

[junwei84 0]

lastly, our DIY square stools for our shoe cabinet area! repainted 2 old woody stools with black paint n white paint. white still in progress though. hope it turns out nice! initially asked henry to help us make but it was like way expensive!

anywae.. spotted 2 chipped tiles which i tink would b too late to remove and change. tink i'd affect too much tings. dunno hwo it'll be rectified. hope there wont be anymore though.. and hope reno goes smoothly till e end. reno hurry up end! been v long alr!
