We brought Jules over to the Toh Yi Maisonette and he was so happy playing with the transformer toys there. Totally not shy at all and he was trying his luck at climbing up and down the stairs too.

Reno is slated to start after Chinese New Year because the couple is super busy at work and currently want to delay the reno works.  Which is good for us since I'm due straight after CNY, so during my maternity leave, I would be able to concentrate more on the reno bits and it's definitely cheaper and not a rush job once Chinese New Year is over.

meantime, the couple is collecting rent while they are staying over at their mums.
good too yah?

Reno@Kovan Maisonette - Bathrooms Completed!

Yes! the Bathrooms are finally completed with the mirrors installed. And I'm so happy that it turned out quite well. Both the bathrooms (master and common) were supposed to have a woody look with an accent feature wall tile in the shower area because the couple wanted something like a resort feel, not really hotel luxury but more towards a rustic textured look. And they really love wood grains very much so the whole shower area was tiled in wood tiles to give it a woody look too.

stay tune for the completed look!
we are planning to take some photos of the kovan maisonette this weekend.

Reno@Kovan Maisonette - Staircase updates

Finally the glass railing is installed!!! Now waiting for the hand rail to be installed. Next will be another layer of lacquer for the staircase risers. Plus some painting works on the sides. And owner is shifting in next Monday!!!!

Here's a close up view of the tiny LED lights which the contractor has proposed at the side of the steps. So small so cute. Haven't test it yet, so I myself also not sure whether is it bright or not.

 Missing handrail.

Well at least it's a job done! We took really long to settle this staircase because of all its turns and we wanted the glass slanted railing to end nicely when it meets the horizontal glass railing. So that took quite abit of coordinate plus we wanted to sides of the staircase to be flushed neatly, so the carpenter had to box up quite a fair bit underneath the steps all the way down to the staircase storeroom.

Also there was the side lighting bit which need to be coordinated with the electrician, where to put the lights.

And as I mentioned before, this staircase involved so many trades! From carpenter to glass, to parquet and electrician and of cos the contractor! And ourselves too. :)
