Raydon 10 Report post Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) and lastly our vanity.. initially, we wanted white colour.. but we thought it will be too boring with everything white..so we tried something different.. choose grey instead...had a little shock when i saw it.. first, why is the side so high!! second, its a little grey-er than expected.. but this is still acceptable.. going to ask my contractor lower the 'border'...Common toiletMBR toiletoverall look (extremely blur photos)with my ikea mirror..in conclusion, the colour combination doesn't turn out that well.. guess thats why im not an ID afterall.. hahah Edited August 6, 2014 by Raydon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raydon 10 Report post Posted August 25, 2014 Hi all, just realised i have not update this blog for more than 2 weeks. finally completed the renovation of my flat. now left is the furnishings. I'll give a short review of my contractor. Overall, i will recommend my contractor to anyone if ask.. it's quite a positive experience... Pros:- Very fast. most of the time, he is waiting for me rather than me waiting for him- Open to ideas, and give practical suggestions to improve your ideas- Will rectify any issues/defects promptly- general comments is that his workmanship is rather goodCons:- some of the items he charge is not exactly cheap. however, the good thing is that most of these items you can get from direct supplier (window grills, shower screen, vinyl flooring etc)- like most contractors, he does not provide overall 3d drawings. the only 3d drawings will be your carpentry- does not provide frequent updates, coupled with the fact that he does things v fast. there are times whereby i wanted to change some designs only to realise that he has completed the work- sometimes he will make his own decision to change the design. Initially the idea is to put the oven below our hob but he switch it to the other side w/o informing us. the reason he gave was that he find it too cramp to put everything on one side. no issue for us, as we find that the overall look is still ok (however, i feel that if we insist, he will change it back for us). So, if anyone interested to engage him, do be very specific on your instructions.this is my first renovation, so I'm not sure if these points are relevant a not. Don't worry, he is not giving me any commission nor discounts to post this. hahahaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jabbathehutt 3 Report post Posted October 23, 2014 Good taste for taps. Ceiling fan doesn't compliment your design and the wardrobe looks very ikea. Hope your colour scheme turns out well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sentinel 11 Report post Posted October 23, 2014 my sink.. hmm.. looks so small after the table top installed..at first was worried that there isn't enough working space between the sink and the hob...we over estimate and now really regret not getting the bigger sellena sink.. looks like we will have issue cleaning bigger size cooking utensils You are so right ... maybe I'm used to top-mount sink all these while. When I compared the one I bought with the old top sink, it's bigger but looked so small when mounted under the counter-top ... sigh ... cannot change liao.
