Thanks..

I just 'mix and match' the dining chairs and the table actually. They are bought from different places..  biggrin.gif

Table and bench are from Cellini, priced at RM3900. I've got it a few hundred cheaper as some discount were given due to some miss-communication of their staff.  tongue.gif
The table top is a very heavy piece of quartz supported by solid wood base. They have some matching chairs as a set but I just bought the table and bench. The bench is made of solid wood too. Very strong and stable, not shaky at all!

Those 2 chairs were bought at a shop in Bandar Puteri Puchong near Avalon Lighting. RM600 each. Very nice solid wood chair with the color matches my table and bench! rclxms.gif

I just polished the floor. It is indeed very nice and it's actually one of the thing that I'm glad that I didn't change it. The stepping feel is so nice, cooling and smooth without tiling grouts. Mine is in very light beige/peachy tone, hence it matches nicely with any colour of interior including wood pieces. However, there are many marble floor in other places are grey in color (light or dark grey). If it is a grey marble, the color selection (including wall color and furniture) must be very careful...otherwise it will easily turns into an aunty's house.... Personally feel that all tones of marble floor must avoid interior wall with green or light blue tone. hmm.gif
About the centre courtyard:
There is a double volume void area in the house which I call it centre courtyard. It's not entirely covered with roof so that it gives a good ventilation to the house. There is my next project to plant a tree there and cover its entire floor area with pebble stones.

Views from the window of master bedroom. This window and upper floor sliding door were done in the renovation but not from the original layout.

There are too many switches at home which they really put my no-longer-good kinda memory on the test... Bought a label-printing machine and got all those 'piano keys' sorted! This is so that I don't look like an ever-learning-idiot to keep 'trying and errors', EACH and EVERY TIME~  sweat.gif

I bought it at Popular book store, less than RM40 as they have a promotion on this model (Casio brand).
It is indeed very useful, to label the storage containers, filing, and even on the stationery for kids.

Cool, thanks.
Still awake at this hour.... Hehe!
