I used my dad’s mirror for the bathroom mirror . The bathroom is shared between two bedrooms . Unfortunenly , I cannot use Walnut for the vanity as this will costs a bomb. However, my build-in cabinets at my condo are walnut but alas, just too expensive for the house in Muar as much as…

The Rumah Kebun is big enough for a day bed and there are 4 plug points . I can put a mini-fridge , kettle and a small table . There is a WIFI modem as well. There is an AC and a baby ceiling fan so should be comfortable enough . I will get the…

This is the 61st posting since I started this blog of the house in Muar. Quite pleased with the herringbone African teak flooring . Looks very nice , I must say. The wood is darker than I expected but that’s ok . The barn doors needs to have a stopper as the doors are just…
