Feedback on our renovation

After "using" our house for few mths, tink if i got a chance i will want to change/modify the following things/choices:

1) The master bathroom sink is too shallow and water tend to splash out easily, wetting the vanity top. Regret not choosing a more shallow sink. But the sink is chosen for the design we prefer, so unless we change our design too.

2) Dimmer switch for dining light. Dining light is too bright liao, regret not taking electrician advice to do dimmer switch for dining light. Actually dimmer switch for entrance foyer light is redundant cos we seldom on the lights there.

3) Shoe cabinet. Tink a bit too wasteful to have a big shoe cabinet, should have change it to display cum shoe cabinet; or storage cum display cabinet.

4) Curtains. I shd have insisted the curtain supplier to do a curtain pelmet for me.

Choices we make that we are v satisfied with:

1) Light at top kitchen cabinet to shine on the solid surface top. W/o it i tink i am not able to see the things i cook clearly cos i prefer to have light. Even though it is warm light it still fit the purpose.

2) Solid surface top colour. Luckily i insisted to choose a white one with patterns on it. If pure white, dirt etc will be v obvious. Also luckily took ID advice not to choose black solid top cos water stain marks are so obvious.

3) Big mirror at vanity top and wardrobe area. Very useful

4) Suspended vanity top. find it useful as i can easily wash my toilet w/o afraid wetting the vanity cabinets.

5) Laminate flooring. Find v cosy to have it at bedrooms.

6) Feature wall. Like it v much cos we always forget we have a home shelter. Visitors who came didn't even know we have a home shelter.. haaa.

7) Light at wardrobe area. Useful when i am doing makeup at the mirror...

We found tat several items intially we dun really like but we like it now:

1) Display at feature wall. Tink hb say black glass can see dirt easily so need to clean often but it also looked v cool.

2) Kitchen door handle. Initially i dun like and complain it is too small.. but ID say it is fashionable now. And imagine wat!.. I just saw the same handle at a posh condo my co built recently.. heeee... so i feel differently lor.
