shmj 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2007 Jamez, Tim - Thanks for the welcome! Jamez - we are doing cabinets only for the master bedroom. For the other 2 bedrooms, we'll be buying off the shelf ones... cheaper that way lah!Our master bedroom's wardrobe will be in black... much to my hubby's delight, this was the color that the FS Master recommend. The wall color was in Nippon Paint - Galaxy... again, my ah lao's fav. He loves dark colors! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sharing a Conversation with my mom when we brought her to our flat last Saturday which was still in the midst of renovationMom upon entering the flat: "wah! the living area so small ah!"When she was "inspecting" the 2 rooms - Mom: "the rooms here all so small!"Mom: "The window grilles how come so ugly one? All protruding out."Me: "Window grilles protrude out no choice cos of the window handles."When she was "inspecting" the master bedroom -Mom: "How come master room design until like that? Space so tight. Then build this 1 inch wall here for what ah?"Me: "the wall is the backing for the cabinets."When she was "inspecting" the master room toilet -Mom: "How come your toilet so messy? Where's the door?"Me: "Still renovating mah, of cos messy. We removed the crabby original toilet door. Will replace it with a frosted glass swing door."Mom: "Huh? Like that wont hit the toilet bowl meh? Why don't do sliding? Aiyoh, space so small."I refused to answer at this point cos I think I have enough.When she was "inspecting" the living room -Mom: "Wah! So many lights in your living room! Need so many lights meh?"Mom: "Whats this area going to be ah?" pointing to the semi circle full length window area.Me: "going to do a platform here"Mom: "then? Thats it ah? Just do platform? Convert it to a lounge area lah!"When she was "inspecting" the kitchen -Mom: "aiyoh, your flat really small hor.... no space in the kitchen."started to point at areas and ask how come don't have this, don't have that, etc....You would've guessed that by now, my ears + mind has switched off liao.Its no wonder that whenever we spend too much time together I'll get agitated!
