We went to meet up with our contractor to finalize some details again. If everything goes well, we should be able to confirm our contractor for our renovation soon. So far, I really enjoy working with our contractor. Apart from the fact that he has done many projects which I love and is in sync with the style we are after, he is also very experienced and belts out advice freely. Most importantly, I feel like I can trust him and he feels like an honest guy.
It's an extremely warm day today, and here's the view from our MBR. I love it that it's windy in our flat.
And then, we went to complain about our 'defective' bomb shelter door because we can't seem to lock it fully. This is the view from Block 424, super windy too. We wanted to look for a neighbor we knew from Facebook, but didn't see anyone there.
They sent a guy with a pail of tools up in 20 minutes and he helped us to adjust the door. It was really tight at first, and it was a little better after he came. At least we can lock it now, though it's still quite tight.
We then went to Hafary to look at tiles. It was huge with lots of selections.
We chose this, probably for the MBR toilet feature wall.
And this, for our common toilet feature wall.
We dropped by Soon Bee Huat after Hafary. It's quite near IMM and it's really HUGE! They have a ridiculous selection of tiles (the biggest shop we visited).
This was what we chose. It's my favorite wood-grain homogeneous tiles after visiting White Horse, Hafary and Soon Bee Huat. Soon Bee Huat seem to have the biggest and best selection of wood grained homogenous tiles! We should be getting the same tiles for the whole house, including kitchen.
And you know what's the best thing of all?
The price. It's cheap and wallet-friendly.
The also have this ridiculously big showroom on the 2nd level which showcases all the different tiles and design ideas. We love this toilet and the mosaic tiles. It's so beautiful, but the price is even more beautiful and I don't think we can afford it.
It has been a really fruitful day and I'm happy. We have discussed many ideas with our contractor and I'm really excited to see my dream home materializing.
We had a late dinner near beauty world, and I got some pastries from this traditional shop:

Everything looks yums.
This was for dinner, my favorite two chew porridge place. Comfort food and a very happy me.

Hi can I know so far how's the maintenance like for wood grain homo tiles? In terms of texture and feel,is it nice on the feet?I'm considering to have this for all the bedrooms..thanks!
ReplyDeleteit's not totally flat like normal 60x60 homogenous tiles and you can feel some of the edges..but we got used to it pretty quickly..probably not the best feel but maintenance wise it's really fuss-free..the matt tiles with grains makes hair less obvious and you won't notice feet prints like on glossy homogenous tiles..
ReplyDeleteHi,we have chosen the wood grain tiles from hafary and ours have a bit of texture so when u walk on it,it doesn't have the smooth finishing like laminate or vinyl flooring..is yours the same too because from the picture,yours look quite smooth..
ReplyDeletenope, mine isn't quite smooth either..but i would think vinyl like H.E.R.F also has some texture? my flooring is the same throughout the whole house including kitchen and service yard - if it's too smooth it wouldn't be recommended for kitchen.. =p
ReplyDeleteHi, can share the contact of your contractor? email me at blackgarlic@y a h o o. c o m
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hi, I need to confirm my choice of tiles by Friday. We really like the wood look tiles but is it cold? Please advise. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteit's similar to homogenous tiles..will be cold if weather is cold or on air-con..
