After much discussion and consideration, not forgetting lack of patience and energy to speak to more any more IDs ... we finally settled on Patrick from Hobee.

Started with selection of floor tiles. Getting everything from LSH balestier.

Orange-beige "sand-stone" texture homo tiles for Master bathroom (Same wall and floor tiles)

Greyish white "sand-stone" texture homo tiles for Common bathroom (Same wall and floor tiles)

Off White (with light hint of pink) homo tiles for Kitchen and living room

In the end, we did not choose any wood grain for our kitchen cabinet.

We chose ...

Dark grey horizontal 3D striped lines for our Kitchen

Black brushed stainless steel for our study

Beige vertical lines for our master bedroom wardrobe

Black square design for our TV console

black with Silver lines for our shoe cabinet

and black wood grain for our 2nd bedroom ...

that's a lot of black ... a bit worried that my home will lack character and warmth ...

Went to Geylang to hunt for Toilet fixtures. Walked around quite a bit before settling on Bacera.

We thought their prices were reasonable for their quality. After buying ... came home to google on the brands we have chosen ... NO HITS ... that's worrying ... hopefully our choice doesn't fail us ...

Been a few days since I visited my house. All tiling is complete. Some electrical sockets and switches are installed and parquet is glued and nail in placed... the house is transforming ... Now, My only concern is the color scheme... which is hugely dependent on the paint and carpentry colors ... Sticking to black white and dark grey. Hopefully my warm lights will compensate on warmth. k .. nuff toking ... pictures to show ...

Allbest came down today to install the aircon trunking. Was given the advice to go for separate trunking for each air con unit to prevent sweating. Logic being, if I were switch on the AIR CON in one room, and the trunking is actually in another room without air-conditioning, sweating is bound to happen due to "SWEATING". Patrick confirmed this, so I had to tolerate the ugly trunkings

Patrick's Electrician came to install the lights. (Pending Kitchen PLC and Living Room cove lighting.)

Very happy with my light selections ... especially my storeroom and toilet lights.

Went over to ah keong's workshop to re-choose our laminate for master bedroom. (the one we choose had "quality" issue) ... and we caught a glimpse of our shoe cabinet in the making .... the laminate we chose turned out quite nice ... happy

Parquet floor is had it's first sand down and varnish.

yup agreed! the laminate is very nice! is it more ex then normal laminate?

No wor, it's within the agreed price range of the reno quotation... so should be less than $50 SGD.

This laminate is from EDI.

Hihi~

Oh, i thot these can't be wall-mount? Saw from your signature tt its a "Glass Ball with Stainless steel wallmount from Joo Long". Thought it's round.

But also curious, how much did you get the square sink too?
