Love their item as well, also thinking getting the same and use it for by bedside table, will see how go.

Btw bro, your house looks amazing and my jaw just drop when I see your counter top granite. Really really love it.

Thank you for kind words and can't wait to see yours as well

Hope to have everything completed by end of Week 8:)

We applied the permits about 2 weeks before with the agreement of our previous owner to apply but only start work after 2nd appt date.

Yes we hacked the upper bathroom in our new place since only the kids will be using the upper level and with the lack of space we allocated the laundry machines upstairs as well.

We love how it fits and the bathroom remains very spacious. As for hanging wise it would be either upstairs in our playroom when unused or in the wet area on lower level.

A little hassle but you can't have the best of everything now can we

Are you hacking the bathrooms too? Else it might be a really tight squeeze.

[twinklecloud 2]

hi doubleEM,

yes hacking and everything got to go.. very poorly maintained and old flat.. so quite pain in the pocket.

[doubleEM 4]

Well if you have intention to live in it long then I guess to treat it as an investment rather

But this investment got no returns one lah haha

[twinklecloud 2]

yeah.. unfortunately that is the case.. =( how is the progress of your current place? moved in already?

Some Updates

Our solid top are in today and we are left a little mixed with what we expected versus what we see installed. It's weird because this was somewhat our original selection and it wasn't enough so we swapped and then the end product came back something similar. Still good but a little unexpected I guess haha.

Granite Top

Taobao Lights

We wanted something different for our common area for the second level since its a small area and traditional lighting are somewhat boring these days in SGP so we went ahead to customize 2 neon lights from TB seller and this is how it looks

Let's see how our plumbing installation goes tomorrow. Kitchen mixers and MBR black rain shower and accessories. Before electrician team comes back on Thursday to complete the installations of remaining lights.

wow! love the grey kitchen top! is the granite top grey? btw your sink is it sit in or overmount?

love the tiles too!! blend it very well!!

Thanks yes the original was a grey granite to fit the color scheme we have.

Our sink is Top mount.

We settled for a closed kitchen to ensure we will get the approval from HDB for the re-organisation of the floor plan layout.

We love the lights too but now have to see after mounting whats the end effect.

Ya lah so imagine my feeling...but apparently supplier say same stone. Maybe lighting when he sent the photo. Sianz but oh well. This was close to our original selection so be it lah.
