Lol poor hubby pay so much for the bed but already resigned to the fact that he might not sleep on it for a while. a super single mattress might be hard to squeeze beside our king so maybe hubby is banished out... 

we already psyching the kids to sleep in their new bedroom so hopefully when we move, we can get them out! 

Hahha my hub is already complaining now. 

Where will you be getting your kids' bed? My hub wants to get a bunk bed (with slide!?) for them.. I'm contemplating..

Your toilet ceiling looks high!

Ditto on the small toilet! I am having problem squeezing a sink back into the mbr toilet without removing the shower screen. Almost mission impossible.

Balcony Tiles selection

We had decided to level up the balcony area to the living room and had hoped to use tiles to match our marble tiles. however, the only tile that Soon Bee Huat had wasn't that matching to our marble tile. id mentioned that anyone can see that we tried to match the marble tile and failed... lol.. so the next option is that we do a contrast.

Vinyl was an option but we couldn't find the one ... and we decided that we still prefer tiles so off we head to sbh to choose a wood alike tile.

We found the one!

So lovely! but OUT OF STOCK!!!  Shipment coming in 3 months time so cannot.. so sad.. really this was the perfect choice for us. had to continue finding.. was considering the bottom top tile until the sales guy came out with the bottom tile and said that this one still got stock cos someone cancel.. same series but slightly lighter than our first choice.

it somehow grew on us and so we reserved it! it was slightly over budget but i think my id gave up on me and say let me choose it.. haha must buy him lunch 

so presenting our balcony tile!

Tiling starts on monday, can't wait to see the result!

 

 

great choice....

Tiling Day 2

Went up to the house at 9pm to look and was surprised to see 2 workers still there! The house was dark and upon entering, i realised that the 2 workers were there to dismantle the electricals. i wasn't expecting the dismantling til end of the month as per schedule given, so it was a surprise that ID gave me! i.e., slightly ahead of schedule?! 

As it was dark, i couldn't see much. only saw that the bottom part of the master bedroom toilet was tiled up. kitchen was still blocked so can't see the common toilet too.

Spoke to ID on my lights selection and he mentioned that my two toilet lights might not be that suitable cos of the waves emitted might look confusing on the wall tiles.. so u guys can take note for your houses next time. i buy liao so bo plan...

last night, i had a sudden thought at 1am! i thought of exchanging the two toilet floor tiles as i thought my black floor tile would look nicer with the common toilet's marble lookalike wall tile and i bought black accessories for it. My previous common toilet greyish floor tile would brighten up the master bedroom resort toilet. i scare id scold me for being fickle but i thought better to ask otherwise will regret not asking forever! so i ask early in the morning and id say ok, its small issue and told tiler! yay for AN!  really must buy him his hokkien noodles one day.. 

lets hope my sudden decision is the right decision!
