Home Renovation: Kitchen Floor Tiles at Jalan Ipoh

All in all, hubs and I together with our two children would have made about 3 trips (trust me it would have been more had I not been in my first trimester and having all day sickness) to Jalan Ipoh before finally deciding on which type of tile to buy for our kitchen floor. As mentioned in a previous post, we purchased our kitchen backsplash tiles at Houz Depot.

These were few of the tiles that caught our attention...

However, in the end during our 3rd visit to Jalan Ipoh, we met Ironman and Captain America... Seriously! Two guys hired by the Feruni outlet were dressed up as Ironman and Captain America. My kids were thrilled to take the flyer they handed out about a sale that they were having. Coincidentally, the sale had started so we were able to check it out. And to be honest we didn't have a choice as our kids wanted to meet the 'superheroes' again.

In a way they did turn out to be superheroes because they led us to what would be our ultimate choice for our kitchen floor tiles! As Feruni is located off Jalan Ipoh at Jalan Kolam Air, I doubt we would have gone there as most of the shops were closing and I couldn't walk around anymore as I was feeling nauseous. Plus hubs had already warned me that we had to make a purchase that day as renovation was already underway and the contractor would need the tiles soon.

So do make sure you visit Feruni if you are tile shopping at Jalan Ipoh. The photos we took there were taken using my husbands phone as I was clearly out of sorts by then and its in another SD card etc so I shall leave you with photos of the chosen one instead.. I love the texture of the tile which is slightly rough and it's a breeze to clean, I tell you.

Okay, so this is the shop. This is their branch in Jalan Ipoh although they have many other branches.

Easier Said than Done

How wonderful it would be, if I could just follow this.. 

Home Renovation: Kitchen Backsplash Tiles @ Houz Depot

The most exciting part of a renovation is the planning part, I think. No added stress of actually making a purchase (yet!) and second guessing and rechecking is allowed. So for now, as we wait for our house keys (yayy!!) hubs and I and kiddies too try to squeeze in as much scouting as we can. First off, tiles. We went to near the Subang Airport and stopped at a shop called MASTER STONE.  The sales person was friendly and informative but kept a distance and allowed us to look around by ourselves. Not much choices though.

Another day, we set off to HOUZ DEPOT in Kota Damansara. There were a wide array of tiles as you can see...

I found the backsplash collection at Houz Depot more interesting than their tile collection...

 In the end, after visiting many other shops we purchased our kitchen backsplash tiles here...

3rd Bundle of Joy

So, baby no. 3 is on the way.. I've entered my third trimester...I didn't know I was pregnant until I started noticing my energy level was low last October..to which my dearest husband lovingly suggested, could be due to lack of exercise : ) (I had a good time reminding him about it once I found out I was actually 7 weeks pregnant) Seriously though, it was more like the non existence of such a thing called exercise.. However, taking care of 2 kids and running a household does count for some mild calorie burning I think. 

Other than that we bought a house, did some minor renovation (as it was a sub sale unit but bought for investment purposes so we are the first to live here) and moved in on New Year's Eve... I've also started my Phd. Yay! My coursemates can't believe I'm coming for classes while pregnant.. they'd rather sleep at home if they were pregnant they say...  So, that's a short round up of events and mainly some idea of posts that I shall be covering from time to time, hopefully.. But I have to say, I have missed you my dearest blog.
