yea we have one that we are using, and like how 'anti-slip' it is, so decided to get one more for the new place, but also partially for the 'AAA' on it la haha :)

over the very short week, we started on our carpentry and looking back we must say the progress on the reno has been extremely fast given that its just a month since we started and we are almost done. the coordination from our ID is near flawless and there were minimal wastage in terms of time loss, and any issues they were able to rectify them really quick.

aircon tmr, hope it goes well.

we are in search of bathroom accessories, like toiletries holder, towel hangers, etc, any advise will be helpfull :)

I have purchased my shower system and taps...and i am very happy with the design and price of them. (you can see them here: http://vanessafridahome.wordpress.com/2013/07/12/bathroom-tap-and-shower-system/) if you want the contact, give me a shout :)

No worries...sorry i wasn't fast enough to help...cos i managed to squeeze the owner for a 40% off the retail price...can teach you a couple of tricks when dealing with them. Also liked them cos it is pretty much grohe (the assembled in THailand range) price but this is italian made and designed :)

My little girl is a very happy go lucky gal..but then again...most Golden Retrievers are....but we had to sacrifice certain design elements to accommodate the little gal :)

Haven decide whether to get those with handles or juz the rims.. I wld need to change the door handle which will cost me 200 (yale) and get a rim digi lock or get a digi lock with handles.. But food for thought that if the digi lock broke, i got anor old skool door lock... decisions decisions decisions..

and the sink is up in the master bedroom as well:

to relief from the lost delivery fustration we went into a assam craze at robinsons sales:

and also a bin craze:

the savings substantial at the robinsons sales we must say, getting our bedsheets, wok, towels etc..burnt the pocket but thinking of the savings helps abit :sport-smiley-018:

no worries! yea we went with aluminum as we thought that it will be better in terms of water and corrosion resistance. as i din opt in for the door from HDB, i always have the impression that the ones they provide are wood. i might be wrong though :blink:

i seen in someone's t-blog where it was a two piece lourve door, which i thought look really good as well. opens in the middle, that way saves some space too. hope you can get the double leaf aluminum door.

a close up shot for @huiying on the blackboard wall:

blackboard chalk

since we painted on the walk with the chalk board paint, we wont expect a smooth flat surface. we played a tic-tac-toe over the weekend..and as with all tic-tac-toe it ends in a draw...

the cleaning part does leave some chalk stains on the wall, however that's with us cleaning with tissue. we cant find a duster, even at artfriend. guess no one uses blackboards anymore :bangwall:

drawers are up in the kitchen:

and we have the carpentry done for both the sauce drawer on both sides of the oven:

this is currently my fave corner with the vents and the nestum light, sorry for the poor quality photo. the shadow off the ventilation bricks against the wall was pretty cool, just that my phone cldnt take a decent shot of it.

looking forward to the capentry to be done in the kitchen!
