We Bought A Flat, And Made It Our Home

Recommended Posts

Sis Marshy, cannot hide the doors cos too prominent :furious: thinking of white but also exploring some fun colours like lime or yellow or some other bright n fun colours :o

oops i dunno what's your colour scheme for upstairs~ :P was just imagining that black doors, white/greyish wall with a chandelier will be quite cool~ :lol:

Hi Potatoes, my stairs will be Parquet on the steps and on the rise will be painted white or other colours, my contractor advised that the rise of the stairs if not covered by parquet will get stain easily due to usage... but we wanted this design and are prepared to keep the staircase well maintained. As for my railings, I'm still undecided :huh:

Wife n me went tap and shower shopping, we went to IMM Hoe Kee, Sim Siang Choon, Grohe and then Balestier Bathworld and some other shops selling taps and basin along Balestier... ..

Over the past few days, we've did our research on taps and also got some helpful feedback from friends in RT... and we more or less had zoomed in on what are the taps we wanted... .. As it's both our off day today, we decided that we'll spend some of our hard earn money today :sport-smiley-004:

So we bought these items today late in the evening, and I believe we've got them at a good price as we've done sufficient research and price comparison :)

Our MBR Grohe rain shower that we've eyed since 2 weeks ago :wacko: finally decided to buy it :)

Hi Sleek, it's ok, do feel free to post questions, I'm glad to be of any help :) Let me share more of how we've decided on Grohe :

There's a Grohe boutique at IMM, we first saw Grohe there, then about 2 weeks ago... ... As it was the Grohe Boutique, we were impressed by the technology of their showers and taps, they even have cross section of their mixers on display in their boutique at IMM, very impressive... However, like all boutiques, they offer only 10% discount... wife and me got really interested and also at the same time did some research on the following German brands :

1) Grohe

2) Steingberg

3) Hansgrohe

4) Hansa

Among these 4 German Faucet manufacture, Grohe have the best technology and quality in our opinion, so we opted for Grohe... If you are not in a rush, you can also look at Stiengberg, they pretty good as well and price wise very competitive...

We got our Grohe earlier at Watertapz along Balestier, pay cash and they give u slightly better discount :)

Hope it helps and do feel free to post more questions, I'm very free tonight, watching rallies on utube :D

Thank you for sharing your info generously! Hmmm, i think it's quite hard to decide on which to buy, especially grohe vs hansgrohe, unless everyone has personally used them as all have supporters. Glad that you could make your decision on which to go for :)

did you go to this shop too, http://www.bathworld.net/?p=enquiry? i am unable to google watertapz though. It is quite difficult for me to go around to many places to rackey as i dont drive and have children to drag around, hahah so i shortlist those i want to go to after researching online. also i want a bathtub so it's either i get a bathtub and a cheap rainshower from royal fanco or no bathtub than will be an expensive rainshower, :dunno:

i'm a night owl, that's why i'm asking Q at this time of the night. :notti:

Hi Sleek, haha... no worries, don't have to keep thanking me :yamseng: I'm jus glad that my info can help u a little...

Yes, Bathworld at Balestier , they carry Hansa and Steingberg among other really "High End" designer brands I never heard of :o and yes, watertapz, i think their website is under construction as I did try google-ing their company using my BB where I was in the shop... (I'm that careful).. .. but after talking to the staffs there, I felt ok and also their pricing is pretty competitive compared to the other quotes I received for Grohe...

Due to the funny layout of our MBR bathroom (toilet bowl in middle) we could not have the luxury to place a bathtub, and we are also not fans of bathtub... .. so our choice is very clear, we wanted a reliable rainshower... .. the only time we like bathtubs is when we go on our holidays and have a dip in the hotel bathtub :) also, if u need the address of watertapz, i'll let u know tomorrow as the invoice is with wife now and she's at her mom's place :)

U can have a good rainshower and a bathtub Sleek, compromise on the other stuffs like capentry or lightings :D
