My City Haven

Recommended Posts

After going through countless catalogues of wallpaper designs, I am finally quite happy with these two pieces. I've got this predilection for all things black (or dark grey). Hehe! And red too (e.g. my kitchen colour).

This will go on the wall at my dining area. Looks a bit like mosaic on the picture, but it really isn't. My ID had initially suggested black glass, but I think I've had enough of glass. The finger prints will drive me crazy.

Decided to go for a wavy motif in my bedroom where the headboard will be.

Decided to go for the Legrand (Mallia) light and power switches. Lots of colours and gang combinations, but most likely will go with the silver.

Hey thanks, Yuki&jason. Was wondering if you have seen the champagne or pearl colour. Saw it on the catalogue, but haven't had the change to see the real thing. The champagne looks very nice also.

I can understand why. Having an ID also the same lah. If they are the type, you say what also can wan, then same headache. In the end, it's all your own ideas. Actually if it weren't for the fact I don't have the time to chase after separate contractors, I wouldn't have opted for an ID. Are you gonna pull the whole project off, on your own?

Muahahaha... I think same TV only lah. Your place in the city? Anyway, I went to scrutinise our floor plans and 'before' pics, and noticed quite a number of difference .. so can't be same block lah.

1. Yours is slight wider and shorter (if you are looking at the entire house, length x breadth).

2. Mine only has one beam running across the kitchen. You seem to have more.

3. Yours has no irritating support pillars in the middle of the flat to constraint you. I have TWO!! (my gosh!)

4. My kitchen windows go all the way to the corner where the toilet entrance is, yours doesn't.

5. I don't have recess areas under the living room and room windows. It's flushed with the windows.

6. I seem to have more windows in bedroom 1.

Besides that, everything else looks the same. Oh, we definitely have one major thing in common ... the horrendous old tv/fm antenna trunking in the living room corner wall.

The reno cost is making me broke. Gotta save some $$ and decided to bring my sofa from existing place over, along with the rug and my coffee table. Couldn't bear not to anyway...

DAY 7

It is proven... yelling works. Treat the contractors with utmost respect but yell when you have to. Otherwise they think you can be trifled with. After the outburst on Sat morning, the waste pipes in the kitchen were changed to brand new PVC ones by the time I went up during lunch time. They should be done changing the toilet ones as I am typing.

The tilers were also hard at work, getting the kitchen ready for tiling.

The tiles.

The war zone.

The tiling journey can be long and arduous if you want a good job done. Now crossing my fingers the workmanship is good (as promised by my ID), and the masonry work turns out swee swee. Need to plaster the walls and ceilings and make good the jagged edges as a result of hacking. :sport-smiley-018:
