For 2.. my girl will have her own 5ft. Hahha More reasons to shop. We still hv a standalone shelf of drawers that is about 3-4 ft. Personally i feel that there can never be too much storage if u have the space coz u can always use them to hide clutter But of dun do until u have storage space but no where to walk la.

9ft, 18ft ? Wah now my 6ft is pathetic. Need to relook at my MBR layout.

Coz we hacked 2 bedrooms into 1 so we could afford a bigger wardrobe. The previous house we had a 10 ft (but L shaped) and with L-shape wardrobe, you don't really get full 10ft and honestly it wasn't enough for us because we still have tonnes of barang, From bedsheets, to winter clothes and those many "i hope i can lose weight and still fit someday clothes". Thus this house we've decided, we're gonna maximise all the storage space we could.

No wonder you can squeeze in an 18ft! Initially we wanted a L-shape wardrobe to maximize the space in the MBR. But Alan felt our master bathroom is small and my Mr E is quite 大只, so he suggests we shift the basin into the bedroom.

I am trying to squeeze the basin back into the bathroom so that I can have the L shape wardrobe back. Lucky we don't have alot of clothes. Been shifting too much that we realize less is better! No use so give away. Then excuse to buy new stuff

TIRED TIRED TIRED

Plumber installed some of my bathroom stuff today.

BOO-BOO : hollow block should have been constructed on this side & water heater could have been installed on the opposite. no choice. had to live with this mistake. heater is right next to window so have to keep window closed at all times!

My Otto WC. The worker helped me to do an official opening for the WC. spotted yellow wee wee stains on the seat

Told Alan to remind them not to use my WC & they have helped to wrap it up.

My Grohe Bidet Spray!

Note: Other than the unpleasant experience with the pee, the workers are very experienced. They gave really good suggestions on the placement of the wash basin (something which my contractor didn't even advise ) My advice is : It's always best to speak to the installers directly.

Yay! Worker helped to relay that particular brick . now it looks more pleasing to my eyes.

Nice black bidet spray - so your bathrooms will be a black & white theme!

And your brick wall is looking good. That is the TV feature wall? Are you mounting your TV?

And I saw that you are having in your wardrobe a drawer with all the holes for easier organization! We have to stretch our creativity to maximize the use of our 6ft wardrobe; maybe folding more clothes instead of hanging

nope, not mounting tv. i think it can be considered a feature wall? but i do realise a brick wall tend to make a space look smaller.
