Renovation - Part 3 - Tiles Selection (Again sigh!)

After the quarrel from the previous session of tiles selection, we both agreed we won't go thru that again. "Anything can be discuss" - tat's wat we told each other...

We couldn't agreed on the tiles for the common toilet coz it's really very hard to visualise based on a small piece of sample tile whether tat's the ambience i want for the final effect. It's a long day and we finally confirmed all our tiles for the hse. It wasn't an easy task esp if isaac's ard.. Good thing is he fell asleep in khoo's car while we are on our way to LSH. So we had 30mins to go thru the selection again. But coz i'm carrying isaac so the 30mins is still siong for me...


Our Finalised Tiles:

MBR toilet tiles - The 2 tiles on the left are wall tiles. Both tiles r super rough surface n bottom's one is jason's fav.. Supposed to give an epoxy effect coz of the glitters. On the right is the floor tile, it also has the glittering particles.


Common toilet tiles - It's all becoz of this bathrm tat's causing the unnecessary tiffs.. But i'm glad we found wat we wanted. The front piece is the wall tile which is a running tone tile. The dark piece is for decorative and we found a similar tone as the wall tile for the flooring..


Kitchen tiles - This is an easy one.. We got a white tile with lines design. (the lines are barely sighted unless you scrutinise it) Flooring was a dark brown with glittering particles (again?!) I'm keeping my kitchen nice and clean with minimal design.


Close Up


Hall & Dining Homo Tiles - This is easy too coz we both love the idea of a nice and fair homo tiles. It will make our hse look super clean and white during daytime with all the light. This tiles comes with an added feature - super index and anti-stain which could reflect light with a superb defined shadow.


Due to budget constraint, i couldn't get myself to do vanity top in the common toilet. Was quoted ard $850 for just a 2ft vanity top.. So i told jason why not get an instant one from those hardware store? We told khoo wat we wanted and he told us tat be prepared coz the material is definitely inferior. We found this in Hoe Kee and it cost only $260! Big basin with cabinet, tat's good enuff... even if it only lasted 3-5yrs hee..


I also realised tat Hoe Kee's stuff is cheaper than Asia excel's. We found this Krisroz rainshower with mixer and handheld shower for $368! We couldn't find it at Ho Kee IMM tat day. This is wat we wanted initially coz i had kept the newspaper cutting when it was advertised. This $368 Krisroz shower is being compared as an alternative option to a $8486 Hansgrohe raindance rainmaker shower. We told khoo to arrange to cancel the previous shower which we bought at $569 (yes tat's the bloody expensive one tat i mentioned in the previous post) Hmm.. seems like not all the shops the id brought you to is the best one huh... Probably he earns a commission for bringing us there ba...


Next tuesday, tat's jason's next rest day, we'll be choosing the laminates and we can finally prepare to commence our reno process..

Wat's left:
1) Flooring Laminates - for 3 bedrooms
2) 2 Wardrobe Laminates
3) Hall Tv feature wall + console laminates
4) MBR Tv feature wall + console laminates
5) Bomb shelter HHS laminates
6) My concealed dressing table laminates

Hmm.. guess tat's about it...
