Thanks for the detailed video. May I ask do you always switch off induction switch ? I don’t see any main switch at the wall . 😊
I have been watching many of your videos and find them very useful in my home renovation journey. Can I check what size of Haiku fan did you install? 52 or 60 inch?
52 inch… the thing to note is that a larger size may affect lighting placement, because the blades may cast unnecessary flickering shadows which can be very distracting and unsightly…
Is your bosch mixer Series 4 MUM 5 MUM59340GB?
Very good video. Thank you. I think your floor tiles looks good. is it tiles or vinyl ?
Yes tiles… no regrets!
I lead a stressful life, so I don't worry about small rips and scratches and wind up having restless nights. A home is meant to be utilized to the fullest extent possible, and I frequently get a smile when I see someone's kitchen filled with jars and bottles of cooking supplies. Otherwise, I see myself a a guest in my own home and worry about trying to keep it spotless.
This video is really very helpful. Thank you so much for making this video and explaining it clearly in great details 🙏🏻
Thanks! Glad it was helpful! I realize the better videos are those that you all ask questions and I can answer them. So keep your comments and questions coming!
Sorry one more question. Is your LG washing machine one of those with dryer function? Or what do you use for drying clothes? Thanks!!
Dryer function is not very utilized… also beware about some clothing heat requirements.. I ruined a few clothes before when the rubber straps get melted and the prints peel as well!
@@richmondtanoh my... Thanks for sharing. I rarely hear people share the cons of dryer but this rubber melting thing changed everything 😮
Yes… so those with elastic bands better to air dry… unless you diligently check their labels for acceptable temperatures
Hi sorry can I know where you got the kitchen sink drain basket from? Didn't manage to catch it :(
Lazada … just search for kitchen sink trap or basket should be ok
theres no ventilation vent on your cabinet for the f&p hood, where does the smoke go?
There’s a channel behind the cabinets towards the windows :)
@@richmondtan Is it possible to channel the smoke out of the windows?
You cannot build an exhaust outlet to the window as this is a HDB guideline… therefore certain hood models is not approved
After using the kitchen for a while, do you feel the hob area is a little too far from the sink for convenience?
Not at all! It’s just 2 steps away… generally it follows the triangle workflow… fridge - sink - hob… this distance helps with human traffic and simultaneous activities… someone else can prep at sink side and the other cook at the hobs
Hi Richmond, thank you for sharing your beautiful luxe home with us. Have been watching your earlier videos on how to prepare design brief to designers and they are highly useful. Noticed you have gas & induction side by side. Can you make a video on the pros and cons of these stoves? In terms of how fast we cook… the flavor of food… etc Have been asking around and there are mixed reviews about this. Am wondering if I should just stick to gas stove or change to induction or put it side by side. I’m a heavy cook in Asian cuisine as well and also using Smeg gas stove. My gold color button has discolor after 4 years of using 🥲
Sure thing… there are a few reasons why I use gas and induction hobs.. I will cover in another video. For the gas stove, it is inevitable that you will have carbon deposits on the stove, but I was able to remove most of it with scrubbing… Overall no regrets for the gas stove because there are some advantages from it… so stay tuned!!
@@richmondtan Looking forward! 😀
Hi, can share more about the sound bar, brand n model. Thanks.
It’s Devialet Dione… it’s the only soundbar they made.
Are we allowed to bring other family members to the roadshow?
Yes… it’s generally 2 pax but if space permits they do allow others to go as well
How much did u pay for your lg g2
Wah, it’s 18 months ago.. I think it’s 4.3k
Ok why the love for dyson? Like there are better brands for robot vacuum for that pricing
Haha, I have done research on this, there are some considerations, we wanted one with a smaller charging dock, easy maintenance, no dust bags, dust analytics and small to navigate around and at that time it was newly launched, hence decided to take a shot at Dyson. We have received bad reviews and regrets with other robots from our relatives so that has influenced our decisions as well…
@@richmondtan OK. Understandable.
What a nice home :)
Thanks!
What brand is your dishwasher? 3 hrs is just not the norm. Many dishwashers can wash faster.
It’s Fisher and Paykel, anything more than an hour, it’s not worth the time…
Your house is so neat and tidy! Love the aesthetics!
Thanks!
whats the total distance from your kitchen cabinet end to your door? 4m?
If you are referring to main door to dry kitchen cabinet, it should be around 3m
omg your layout looks like mine!! what is the width of your hall that you can put dry kitchen + island + cabinets near the door. you have your shoes there at the side of the door right? behind the island
Yes shoe cabinets are along the DB box area… the wet kitchen and service yard are combined and reconfigured, hence free up space for the island and cabinets…
in the common toilet, the gap between the vanity and the shower glass is so slim. How do you clean in between?
It’s quite easy to clean… I can use a slim 3M mop to clean and also a magnetic window glass cleaner… at first I was concerned, but turned out to be ok.. :)
Can you do a renovation regrets video next?
Ok … didn’t have a lot of regrets.. haha!
Any brand list or recommendations of the suppliers for the various fitting components? Like the marble looking counter tops or wall tile/features
All these are handled thru my IDs subcontractors… I don’t exactly have the list of these installers…
Maybe you can do a review of your appliances?
Sure thing! Happy to share my reviews of my appliances… stay tuned!
Too much carpentry could result in stinging eyes, resp. problem and formaldehyde poisoning?
No worries on this… before first move in, I have dehumidifiers in all drawers and two Dyson purifiers running… takes around 2 months for the smell to go away
thanks for sharing this, Richmond! very very helpful for a new homeowner like myself :)
Happy to share more!! Let me know if you want to find out anything…
Appreciate you making this video. Hope to see another update in a few months time.
You are welcome! Happy to share more ;)
Nice update after 18 mths stay. Mind sharing where you got the toilet mirror from?
Mirror is fabricated by my interior designer :)
Nice review, what is your dining table length?
It’s 1.8m
the lines between tiles is there away to seal them up like same level with tile so wont collect dust ? 🤔
I think that is a separate enhanced option to explore but not be suitable for all tiles
@@richmondtan I see... mine are by default vinyl... so i headache want to change to tile or not... 😮💨
Vinyls quality today already quite good… I prefer tiles for its durability and the very even feeling… cooling is a plus!
@@richmondtan ya, but 1 hand i hear people said quality is good, long lasting, then the other hand people show me the 变形's vinyl... that's make me 心烦意乱
Hence I go for tiles, which is proven to last over time haha
Ur hse is beautiful 😊 true worth to invest.
Thanks!
Thanks Richmond! I'm now at the stage of picking wall painting, i did not consider this while getting the tiles.. and went with grey tiles. This video really helped. I'll probably go for a white wall then to keep it safe - thank you and you're insanely resourceful!
Glad that you found something useful!
Good info on the roadshow. Appreciate the sharing
Tks for information
Hello Richmond, just wanna thank you for this video :) as well as the other vid which you've recommended me to check with Sol. Much appreciated man
You are very welcome! Enjoy your dream home!!
Thanks for sharing this, Richmond.. you definitely have an in depth knowledge on light placement and how much light bulbs are needed to luminate your home .. did you learn this from somewhere or if ID/Sales person taught you this? I'm struggling a little to figure out if I should go with 1 or 2 isa mini lights.. in my living room, currently ID proposed 2 isa mini lights for all 4 corners around the fan.. but I thought of keeping it simple at 1 light each.. any suggestion who I should speak to? My ID is really nice to allow me to decide 😂 and as much as I appreciate that, I was hoping to not make a decision to regret later on..
Hey there! If you need another opinion you can go to Sol Luminaire to ask them for advice, show them the floor plan and they can tell you if your proposed configuration is sufficient or not. No expert here, but have to ask around for different views .. :)
@richmondtan thanks Richmond, this is really helpful :) appreciate it
Bro how many metre wide is ur wet shower area in bathroom after including that wall?
The Master bathroom? Should be around 76cm
Hi I am planning to renovate my flat. Interested in made in Italy/Spain tiles. Could you please suggest a good tile company for me to source these tiles? Thank you.
Hafary has the largest collection of imported tiles… if you haven’t check them out, worth a visit!
Hi may I check which ID did you engaged?
19eightythree
it is possible shift the location of the toilet bowl? based on your floor plan
Yes, it will be wall hung kind and requires permit to shift
Hi, may I know the total cost of your lighting?
Lighting cost for the whole house is around $4k, excluding electrical works
May I know the brand of the ceiling fan
Haiku / Big Ass Fan
The floor area is too small only 100 square metres
Oh yes, wish it was bigger!
Will aircon leak a lot using this toilet door?😊
I have no issues with air con temperatures so far… but I do close the windows in the bathrooms
Hi Richmond May I know if stainless steel sink easily sketch n stain. What brand is ur sink. Also for kitchen top stone what is the thickness of your stone 20 or 30mm?
The sink is quite easy to clean and if there is no obvious scratches. I think other material will be more visible when scratched… the sink brand is En+T … thickness for my Dekton is 20mm
Hi how much is the Reno cost😢
150k++
It’s Italian tiles. It’s Spanish tiles. European comes from the word Europe and its a continent. This continent most of the countries have nothing to do with tiles (Netherlands, UK, Sweden etc etc) Don’t be lazy in your precision.
Thanks.. I will be more hardworking next time :)
hi may i know wads the brand and colour code of ur paint ? :)
It’s Dulux Purest frost 71YY 90/027
Hi may I know what’s the paint code of ur living room kitchen and mbr etc? Thx :)
