bykaraanne 30 Report post Posted September 24, 2015 Taobao shipment is finally on its way to me, and about to order my second shipment. Yesterday we had a minor boo-boo with Edmund, turns out their tiler is super old-school and kind, so they decided to help me round the edges of my shower kerb... Which I find not very nice. I tried to reconcile it in my head so many times and tried to like it, but it's really really very ugly IMO. Wasn't what I expected at all. I reflected to them and I also know that the uncle had to work harder on it since it's an extra step (than to construct a 90 degree kerb). I feel so horrible and difficult! But this wasn't told to us beforehand and I don't think anyone has a rounded kerb so I didn't think to mention it to them beforehand. Right now it's the lull where you put all the money into the renovations and furniture and nothing is in yet... So the excitement is abating a little as the wallet gets lighter and lighter. Tell me this stage shall pass! Hahaha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bykaraanne 30 Report post Posted September 24, 2015 Little update of what's happening... Felt a bit demoralized to share yesterday. My hubby takes awful photos so I have none of the rooms. Haha! Will visit tomorrow, probably. The marble veins are more obvious IRL, but I kinda regret not choosing a greyer based tile... Ah wellz.Amazon loots:Rachael Ray's lazy tools (LOVE these whenever I see her cooking on her show) and the Rubbermaid glass storage containers. I wanted to get it in the teal / turqoise color for RR's stuff but there wasn't a complete set. I need tongs! So it sorta kinda worked out cus Rubbermaid's red too. And I support Arsenal. So all's good I guess. Plus Egyptian cotton towels. My hubby is a SUPER bedsheet snob so I think he would enjoy these too. Hubby's gonna be overwhelmed with my RED stuff (he's a Chelsea fan HAHA) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hotel Fort Canning also like that.But I think at the time we never think so much la, I based on Pinterest photos so I aim for whole wall marble. Hopefully when my shower glass panel and my Hansgrohe stuff go up with some decor I can cook up, it will still look beautiful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
