Will be looking forward to your posts on your current renovation process. !! Hope that things will turn out the way you want it. And your daughters should be pleased with their new rooms, it is all pretty in princess pink and whites.ya..both girls like pink..FSM actually said earth tone for girl1 and green for girl2. Girl2 jaw drop.. but lucky fsm said pink not a problem. For me, all colour can but no red in mbr... I like your house concept, is it called modern classic..Nice nice, is very white n pure....Is a big transformation..Can i know the total damage?Should be modern, not sure about classic. Briefed id that we want clean, modern design..so far so good..total damage excluding electrical, electrical fitting, furnishing is currently at $35+ and counting as some items not quoted yet..heart pain but worth it..Devilz, koikoi,strawberry, joyz, Thanks for your well wishes..will continue to post the updateHi Bro,Ur hse design really look veri nice and spacious, but the bathroom I suggest dont keep it too white cos is hard to maintain in future.tks Cantona..

Ben3555 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) Went shopping with kelvin last saturday for kitchen and toilet items. Went to PJ and as we are not to fussy, got almost all items there..so long as the product is suitable and meet requirements. Also too lazy to shop around.. Some of our purchase...Toilet Bowl. Only one toilet in the house. Chosen this as it comes with the soft closing option for the lid (like Blum action) and most important of all, only in one piece. Not like the other more conventional type that comes in 2 seperate pieces... even sat on it to test test.. good..Kitchen sink. K recommended this as it is scratch proof. Added to dispenser (one left one right) for dishwashing liquid and hand soap. Very nice feel on the surface.. wife happy with this..DispenserKitchen Tap. No requirement for mixer as no storage hearter..save $$. The small plastic extension at the mouth of the tap is an additional contraction call Hippo1touch.. can turn on water without turning the tap level when hand is dirty,,not ex for added convenience Edited March 30, 2007 by Ben3555 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben3555 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2007 Wash Basin for Vanity Top in Shower Area.. Chosen this to match the shower screen..The tap.. follow the same design for the kitchen tap..This is chosen by wife..My preference is this but got rejected as not splash proof...Simple hook for shower area...same designFinal and most expensive item is the Hob and Hood.. Decided on Rinnai as make in japan for the Hob and the Hood suction at 925+per hr.Hob - Rinnal Two Inner Burner Built-in Hob with Ceran Glass (Black) Top Plate.. Like the design.. Cook 50% faster and save gas (as claim in advert) due to the design of the inner burner. More effective use of gas and heat transfer.. Hood - Rinnai RH90CD..Like the design and suction power..Don't think it is make in japan thoughWill go and check on the reno progress tomorrow and will post more picture to update..

FSP 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2007 Actually our this kinda "in house" hood doesn't get rid of cooking smell, but rather get rid of oil. Our hood is not like those coffee shop stalls type, whereby their hood outlet is trunked to the outside. So oil, smoke & smell all sucked & expelled to the outside.Wah bro ur reno alone $35K & still counting. I estimated ur reno including, lightings, electrical works, plumbing works, aircon, furnitures, electrical appliances, toilet accessories, kitchen accessories, toilet bowl, basin, kitchen sink, hob & hood, taps etc will cost u ard $70K man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have not started yetElectrical Appliances - Fridge, WM, HTS, Water heater. Already narrow down some models and now comparing price. Other items already have. Heng no need to buy.Toilet & Kitchen accessories - maybe some more small items. Hopefully won't cost much.All add up + $$ out for the house (above value) == one very big hole.That's why must enjoy the whole process.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
