Going "scandi" On Budget

[SuperMama 27]

13. Shower Kerbs --- Headache 2 : HDB's contractor gave us wrong tiles (Kitchen's!) on a Saturday and went on urgent leave. No one could help to exchange for the correct tiles. As the tiler was already there and colour is still grey... I made a stupid decision and we went ahead to use. Silly me, I know .... but... it did not turn out that bad la... console me ! console me!

Common bath

Master bath

I hope I won't make anymore silly mistakes.....

Coming week:

1. Ceiling Fans Installation

2. Carpentry for kitchen and bathroom

3. Reconfiguration of Track-lights

4. Painting (Nippon Sail White for whole house and Tender for baby's room)

5. Shower screen and bathroom full length mirror installation

Have a great week ahead!

Updates..... not really a happening week I must say, quite a few of stumbling blocks and I felt a tad disheartened...

This week (end Feb):1. Cement Screed by HDB contractor - Completed on Monday2. Kitchen Base + Carpentry (next week)3. Laminate Flooring for whole house (TBA after painting only)4. Painting by another contractor (confirmed 9th Mar; unbelievable price!! I will review and recommend if he is good.)5. Air-con installation - 27th Feb (completed - trunking all nicely done )

6. Taobao order #1 via Amcon - delivered on 27th Feb, although CS was so-so, they are super fast! Will use again if needed.

7. Purchase of other lights

8. Ikea shopping (postponed to post-renovation)

9. Delivery of Kitchen/Bathroom accessories from Hoe Kee (delivered on 1st Mar)

10. Delivery of Hob, hood, fans, etc. (delivered on 1st Mar)

11. Arrival of Samsung lock from Qoo10---> received a scratched unit (DEEP ONE) & less items , awaiting seller to respond!, too troublesome to send back so I'll live with the ugly scratch on the panel

12. Lights installation - see below...

Foyer light from Taobao --> I love it, bought another for my walkway

Dining Pendant light from Ikea

Baby's room light from Philips

Light for other areas are pretty functional so nothing to show la....

Master Bedroom : A preview of the LED tracklights from TB ---> Headache 1 : I didn't buy connectors and enough tracks for the whole house and these cannot be cut... so electrician and ID will reconfigure with what they have on hand next week. Lucky they never Anyway, room is bright enough using the tracklights. I love the AWESOME effect, so cosy ! We are going to place 2 x 3m tracks instead to distribute the light evenly. Shorter tracks will be moved to the dining area which is half-done now. Can't wait to switch on ALL the tracklights and see the effect

I also had a similar issue with non-matching tiles for my kitchen bases but luckily I spotted it when they have only completed the washer base. I brought it up to my ID and it has been resolved 2 days later.

If you feel it is an eyesore for you, you should just go ahead and ask for the kerbs to be retiled.

The more I looked at it, it's pretty acceptable. Something different! Hurhur. Will decor my toilet to draw attention away... hehe....
