A Man Need A Cave - My Bachelor Pad Reno Journey

[nextstep 3]

Need help and advice,

I am considering either getting the BLANCO kitchen sink but I also saw the Clean Up stainless steel sink at Song-Cho. (Attach photo)

Anyone use this brand before?

Cosentino showroom

Went over to Cosentino showroom at Duxton to check out their Silestone quartz design and colour, after seeing all the big pieces of sample I am really impress.

They got lots of colour selection and different kind of surface finished. So spoken to my designer and waiting for them to reply me with the price. (hope won't burn another big hole of my wallet)

While I am there, also notice that they have a new product DEKTON and really love that marble design, after talking to the sales person I don't think I can afford it. How I wish I can install it in my bathroom as a feature wall.

Anyone use either one of their product before? Please share with me your experience.

So sorry for the late reply. There is some delay due to the HDB didn't approve the plan for us to remove the wall

We submitted a new plan we see how it go.

So really hope we can get the work started soon.

Tiles Selection

Looking at lots of blog here and I notice that I really take things super slow for the this renovation journey. But I have to say I been super crazy busy at work and even hardly drop by Renotalk as I use to at the very beginning.

The only progress for the house is, the very disgusting sewage pipe had been remove and replace last week, and I am glad that I make the decision to replace all of it, when my ID sent me the photo of the pipes it is so corroded, that make my hair stand.

On last Sat I went down to GF+A at Mohd Sultan road for tiles selection,

The store really carry lots of beautiful tile, after spending nearly 2 hours in the shop (with free nicely made Latte, they have a coffee bar there) I finalise my tiles for the house.

This is how the colour mood for the tiles :

After the tiles we also went down to Teka to check our the kitchen hop, hood and oven.

I have to say the price of Teka is very reasonable, but I still more a fan of BOSCH, so really have to how's the budget goes and make the final decision.

me very cina one lah, where got taste haha! I let my designer guide me along the way, so tell them what I like and I don't,

but I told them they must challenge me when come to design, if not I should just go to contractor if they just follow my instruction.

I have to say TEKA price are reasonable for a Germany brand as compare to Bosch, but I do think the Bosch oven and hood build are better after looking and try both brand.

I have to agree with you, have to balance the pocket as I am only have me to cover all the cost of this reno. So still thinking and thinking...

Now is more like a need and want issue.
