Dark and cozy

Thanks duke! I was resistant at first, but my ID managed to convince me. Now I'm comfortable with the theme.

Wallnut for me. Especially overall place has a dark theme, smaller accessories can be of a lighter tone to create contrast.

I'm in love with the ebony one!  but your place your rules.

@JohnJohn finally you are out in the light and got your own tblog! 

From the photos, the ebony colour looks nicer. I would prefer my wood to have some texture than smooth

Thanks @bykaraanne and @huiamos. Haha, I think I will be going for the ebony after all. My ID is really into the ebony.

Expectations vs reality

One of the things I really want in my bathroom was a rainshower. But not just any rainshower, I wanted this rainshower.

Alas, it was not meant to be. I went to the Hansgrohe showroom in Mohd Sultan to look for the rainshower. But the salesperson told me that it was unlikely that I had the water pressure to do this. She even made sure to find out  if I had 3 bar of water pressure. If I didn't, then she would not sell me a rainshower and instead, would suggest a normal shower. 

So my ID had to go get his plumber to check and luckily, got just enough, 3 bar of water pressure. So I could get a rainshower, just not the one of my dreams. This is what I got from Hansgrohe.

And to make sure my mbr bathroom will always have enough water, my ID is fitting a 68 litre storage water heater. 

I can't wait to try out the rainshower...

I'm stuck at home as I'm not feeling well. So, in between naps, I can update my blog. 

I have bought quite a few things already, all with the help of my ID. Actually, I only have my washing machine and TV left. Things like kitchen hob, fridge, shower stuff, all bought. I will update with the purchases soon. 

But today, got a decision to make - the top for my dining table. I went to etch & bolts yesterday to look for my coffee table and my dining table. The below is the coffee table I chose. I initially felt that the colour of the legs was a little shiny. But my ID said that since my place is mainly matte and a bit dark, this would be fine. What do you all think?

Today my ID msged me as he wanted to know what table top I wanted for my dining room. This is the standard file photo for my dining table. But I can choose what type of wood I want.

So these are the two choice. The first is American walnut and the second is ebony. What do you guys think?

Hi...just asking why didn't u get yr dream rainshower when u have 3 bars of pressure? Is there other factor to consider?

@El LoCoApparently for my dream shower to work, I need more than 3 bar of pressure. As it is I just have enough for a normal rainshower, but not for something so large.
