Sweet beginnings for your last weekend So loving of your hubbz!

Wld like to ask you 2 things! The greenhouse look-alike box on your PC desk - is it from IKEA?

Your Daiso 5-hook hanger, is it hung on the tiles by suction or adhesive tape? If it's suction, will it hold? There is always this thing going on about suction holders that doesn't last...

TIA for sharing!

Wonderful weekend as always! Hubby made a perfect Hello Kitty pancake for me (after 2 failed attempts of my own). Love the Corelle plate with sweet blue trim that we purchased from NTUC at 20% discount. Lightweight & takes up little space.

Now that the main works are done, time to start organizing stuff! Bought this cutlery tray ($3.90) from Ikea. Fits perfectly in my PC desk to keep stationery tidy.

This handy 5-hook hanger in white matches my kitchen tile color & is so useful for keeping daily use stuff, eg. apple cutter, peeler, scissors etc. neat & within easy reach.

Hi CountryGlow,

Hubby is a better cook than I am^^

Yes, it is a greenhouse from Ikea: http://www.ikea.com/sg/en/catalog/products/90191726/

The 5 hook hanger from Daiso comes in both types - adhesive & suction.

I use the adhesive type for kitchen, prefer the square-cut end on both sides.

And the suction type for the bathroom to hold brushes under the sink. Long brush also from Daiso^^

Good to clean under vanity cabinet in MBR bath as hard to reach below.

Personally I prefer the adhesive type too but for bathroom (usually wet area) I decided to go with suction. So far ok as long as you don't hang too heavy stuff as they are not meant to take alot of weight. Packaging states weight limit 150-200g per hook.

Hello! very nice home design.

Oooh, sharing my latest purchase that makes me so very happy!

Isn't this the loveliest document holder you have ever seen? So sweet & pink & looks like a mini dollhouse. It is a must-get for me!

My playroom development:

Still awhile yet before I can share my completed playroom, cos there is just too much stuff to do. All my toys, I wrap them up in clear plastic to prevent dust & mold, so as you can imagine, it's quite a tedious task..

In the meantime, sharing all my fave $2 purchases!

Lovely french design containers in pale pink & rose print containers to hold all the beauty stuff. I also changed all the knobs to bling bling ones I bought from taobao.

Pink lace design baskets to hold small Kitty dolls under the coffee table:

Pastel color food trays to hold accessories:

Vintage look iron rack & flower in glass bottle also from Daiso to decorate bar counter:

And this organizer to keep hangers neat!

Thanks! We forgo-ed HDB’s flooring because they gave tiles for living room & wood flooring for the 3 bedrooms. Not a fan of wood floors cos my parents’ home has it, & they scratched easily. It took us awhile to choose our tile, as we wanted a very light greyish one. Surprisingly there wasn’t much choice for very light grey tiles. The ones we came across are just not light enough, more of a medium shade. Finally we chose this Italian porcelain tile from Hafary, it is called the Cemento series. Very light greyish & concrete-like, it has a unique texture that appears matte. You can check it out at Hafary’s if you are keen.

This close-up pic of the texture:

Have been staying at our new place for awhile & enjoying the quiet. Really feels like a staycation but in your own home, there’s nothing better than that^^

Been looking around for a suitable rack for our service yard cos still living with a little mess (leftover tiles & tins of paint on the floor) till now. Finally our quick stop at Ikea yest evening solved our problem. Mainly we wanted a white rack as our service yard theme is blue + white. It also can’t be too big due to limited space. Had searched on Qoo10 but couldn’t find a white one. Thot of shipping one from taobao, but too much hassle for 1 rack..

Presenting our new rack. Just a simple rack in white to put some stuff.

Also using my blue + pink storage bags as laundry bags. Fits nicely in the corner.

We also have 2 small racks from Ikea for additional hanging when required. When not in use, it folds up nicely & can be stored. Only $9.90 each. Super worth it!

White washing machine in its corner.

Lastly, this is the “cleaning” corner. Bought the shortest extension pole from Daiso & a set of matching hooks to make use of the space between the pipes to hang some stuff for easy access.

Purchased a set of re-usable chalkboard stickers from USA, finally arrived! Hello Kitty, of course^^

Pasted one on our wall under our clock, wall next to kitchen, in case we would like to jot down menu for the day:

Pasted the other on our bomb shelter door (to list down cleaning duties).

Here's how they look form the hall:

Hubby agreed they look pretty unique! Happy!

Hi! I must say your house is one of the most unique ones I've read in renoTalk. So interesting how you make use of every space in the house! Our house layout is exactly the same and right now after seeing your house I feel like changing some of my ideas! Im getting my keys next month and am still looking for a suitable contractor. Can I know how was your contractor? can I have the contact? And if i may knw how much does your entire reno cost? PM me, could you? Thanks!

And i noticed that you did not do anything to your toilets except installing fittings and shower screen. Can i trouble you to take full pic of your two toilets? I plan to lay over the tiles because im afraid the hdb tiles are ugly. Bt frm ur pic i see that it looks ok actually. Do help me out if possible. Thanks alot!
