Week 5: Painting / Vinyl Flooring

Step 6: Painting
Super stoked the see the colours come to life back at the KRIB just in 2 days! Just to say we're really pleased how the colours turned out. (See Week 4's Post for colour selection) It was one of the most nerve wrecking decisions after tiles because it really could impact the look of the house greatly!

Black wall for the MBR!

We painted the study playroom in a coral pink tone which turned out pretty bright initially but growing to love it! (It's gonna look duller with the floors up)

-----------------------------------

We also went on to some simple installation of
1. Service Yard sliding windows

Most people would opt for 3 panels windows but our HDB architectural planning is once again so lousy that the space could only accommodate a slimmer window track so we settled for 4 panels instead. Opted for white frame so that the look looks flushed to the white walls.

We also got our toilet bowls delivered to be installed over the weekend! Our unit did come with existing toilet bowls but we really didn't fancy the look of it. (see below)

It comes with the supposedly eco-friendly tap on top and the traps of the water pipes at the bottom are too visible. It's a painful decision but we decided to hack both bidets and replace them with the most affordable and acceptable looking ones - Baron W888 which we got from domaco at about $300 each.

Step 7: Vinyl Flooring
Finally a long awaited installation of the floor! I have always wanted vinyl flooring cos I simply love the look and feel of it! Maintenance wise as long as you don't leave puddles of water over a prolonged period it shouldn't be an issue. Furthermore it is easy to replace in strips if it's ever required. We got ours from FloorXpert in a medium warm shade from the Korea series which I luvvvv. The installation was completed in a day.
