PinkTissue 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) I would be embarking on a very slow upgrading journey on 1 Nov 12. I am starting off with upgrading 2 out of 3 toilets, 2 out of 3 rooms, creating a new walk-in wardrobe, re-wiring the whole house and repainting the whole house. The rest of the house would be done mid next year (?).Let's start with the mbr toilet. I initially wanted to have a Zen style toilet. But I took a 180 degree turn and it becomes what my ID call the 'Sultan of Brunei toilet'. I call it the KTV toilet....the no-taste type one and my friend who has engaged the same ID, gawked when she saw the design term the mbr toilet 'gaudy but nice toilet'.Why is the toilet call Sultan of Brunei (ID term), KTV no taste style (my term) and 'gaudy but nice' (friend's term)Let's start off with a sneak preview of the hardware. I am too lazy to take the pics of the actual items as they are nicely packed in boxes.

PinkTissue 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) If u really get a gold wc, I feel it will be wow.... This idea is really great! Maybe I will do that for my new hse! My ID together with the sales girl (after seeing the pic of my gold tap), tried their very best to get a gold WC. But......it just reminds me one of the toilets in those spa where the secret society met where they discussed their 'underground' business. I think I have been watching too many of those Hong Kong serial shows. The gold WC cost I think around 1k which is way above my budget.I did consider getting black WC but scrap the idea quickly when I imagined how poo would look in a black WC.

PinkTissue 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2012 Hi PinkTissue! Love your Victorian style toilet bowl! Mind sharing with me its price & contacts? Thanks! I love it too. My ID did mutter that he could just do a decal on a normal white WC. I think it cost $349. My ID pointed out that it is above the $250 budget he allocated for each toilet. But after some negotiation, he agreed to absorb the cost You could find the complete collection here http://www.beds.sg/bathroom/toilet-bowls-wc.htmlIf you want to see the real thing, you can find it at Spazio Bath & Kitchen513 Balestier Road Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PinkTissue 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2012 Decorative Lighting at Master Bedroom ToiletIn addition to the normal LED lighting, I also have decorative lighting at the master bedroom toilet. The only problem is that I am not sure which light to use. I bought these 2 lights. One is meant for the master bedroom toilet and the other along the passage way leading to the bedrooms.The first is a Gold Moroccan Glass lamp. IMG_0952 by PinkTissue, on FlickrThe Second is a Venetian style Swaroski crystal light which cost a burning hole in my pocket. Again this is another one of those love at first sight. The top and bottom part of the light are hand blown glass domes with delicately hand painted flowers.IMG_0940 by PinkTissue, on FlickrThe consensus seems to be that the Swaroski crystal light should be at the passage way where more people can see.....and also it is a very silly idea to have an expensive light in a wet and humid area like a bathroom. But I am torn. The Swaroski crystal light would give the master bedroom a much needed boost to lift itself from the realm of KTV toiler.So what do you think?Ahhh......my eyes......

PinkTissue 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) I am so tired. Have been OTing everyday. I believed that it is the little accessories which shows off your own personality.Master Bedroom Toilet Bath AccessoriesLabrazel Crystal Vine Gold set made in Italy. This is pure indulgence. I won some vouchers and with newbie discount, manage to get some of the 'cheaper' items at a GREATLY discounted price. It is so expensive. The tissue box itself cost US$645 (not kidding). My vouchers enabled me to get a few items at a VASTLY discounted price. If not, I would not be able to afford any of the items there. According to the seller, the items are made of sparkling lead crystal is deeply cut with an enchanting leaf and vine pattern, then embellished by hand with gold. The pump dispenser features solid brass trim plated in 14 karat gold labrazel-crystal-vine-gold-italian-glass-bathroom-accessories by PinkTissue, on FlickrGold Tooth Brush holder - I could not resist this. My mbr toilet screams so much of 暴发户 that the owner must have gold teeth. Since I am NOT going to get gold teeth, I got a Gold Tooth Brush holder instead Propaganda-tooth-at-oodotcomdotau by PinkTissue, on FlickrAnd lastly, an antique looking dustbin in rose gold.
