cj07 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2012 does that means that granite counter top also have the same problem?That's a good point. Hmmm.. if the granite sink composition is same as granite top, then maybe the same "flaw" applies?Anyway, I didn't realise that cleaning a flat after reno is so tiring. It has been 2 days and there are still places that needs to be cleaned! I think my water bill just shot up a lot recently, just to clean the house.Will post photos of the completed reno soon.. once I am satisfied with the cleanliness of the house.

cj07 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 Finally, everything is up and running.Some photos of our completed reno.MBR toilet vanity top, glass shelves and frosted glass door. The chosen laminate against the color of the tiles went rather well, thankfully. Else I will be lamenting the clashing contrast for years to come. Common toilet items, which was inspired by none other than fellow RT blogger Jumpstreet. The mirror and light are from Singapore's most popular DIY company (hint: Colors of yellow and blue)."birdnest" light and our laminated doors.In our search for the right sofa (i.e: once we seat on it, we love it!), we visited Courts, OM, Star Living, Harvey Norman and even neighbourhood shops. However, we could not find one that we both liked. That was until we went to the far west end of Singapore and paid a visit to HTL. Tada!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cj07 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2012 nice nice sofa!!! is it leather? i like the way it looks.....Yes, it's a full leather sofa. The delivery man told us that if we bought such a sofa elsewhere, it would have cost $2k - $3k. However, since I went all the way to HTL (Hwa Tat Lee) warehouse in Gul Circle, the price was much more affordable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cj07 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) We decided to get day curtains for the living room as the orientation of the unit was N-S facing, so there would not be any sunlight shining into the house. After searching through RT forums and the numerous T-blogs, we decided to get our curtains and blinds from the very nice people from 11 November CurtainsDebbie and Jo brought the fabrics to our house so that we could do a matching with the color of the wall or color of the furniture. they also took time to run through the available fabrics to assist us with the matching.That helped to shorten our decision making on the color of the curtains and blinds.Day curtains that matched our tv console wall. PH5 wrapped in plastic to prevent dust and dirt on it.For the common room, we decided on dim-out blinds with some orange color patterns to match the wall. I couldn't really capture the patterns on the blinds so maybe will try again some other time.For the MBR, we selected black-out blinds. The timing of our storage bedframe from Aafrenz was just nice, as it arrived after the installation of the blinds.I would say that 11 November's service is good and friendly. Their installers were also careful and efficient. The installation took at most 30mins and the amount of dirt generated was minimal.

It was a bit of a luck that we found this birdnest light. Sometimes, luck plays a part in the selection of items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
