hmm... just talked to the aircon contractor.. they gave a quote for system 3 aircon including compressor and bracket for 3 rooms at $3088... another system 3 with 2 indoor units and bracket for the living room at $2988.. still thinking whether I should install air con for the living room.. seems won't use it often.. and according to the size of my living room.. think it really takes a long long time to feel the cold air.. most importantly.. it might destory my feature wall's design... hmm.. what does you guys think? Does anyone install aircon in the living room??

Here comes the pics of the original house condition.. everything you see here will be completedly made over.. what can i say... ai.. our taste is completely different from the old owner.. Living room.. with lighting.. it seems ok.. look closely.. it has 3 layers of false ceiling and it caused the ceiling to be very low~~ the floor is granite.. heard that is 'black glaxy'.. expensive.. I know.. it pains me too to remove it.. but.. look how dark it is with only a few lights.. Kitchen.. not very big.. coz the old owner partition it into 2 parts.. one for kitchen.. one for a small study room.. Thanks Cyn... you are the first who viewed my t-blog.. hahaha.. other than marrige.. found another thing that I wish to have only once in a life time... or .. I dun mind to have it 2nd time provided next time I can just tell someone.. manage the whole reno for me.. $$ is not the issue... I dun know what i want.. just design it and make sure i like it... hahaha... Continue posting pic... of the original hse.. Master room.. sis-in-law thought the hse is 20 yrs old judging from the design.. i reassure her that the whole building has only been built up for 10 years... Master toilet.. everything must remove.. Bed room 2 and 3.. look closely.. every room has false ceiling.. and they are different designs.. Well.. generally I think the hse looks much nicer from the pic..

Thinking about starting my own reno t-blog for months.. Dang-Lang.. this is it... finally got the time and mood to sit down and start typing.... thanx for gastric problem..MC at home today.. Anyway, my reno finally started -- since last week. Gosh.. it feels like I have been 10 yrs older since the day we started to look for IDs.. etc.. fortunately we've decided to stay at the new hse for the next .. at least 10-20 yrs.. else I really dun know how to go through the whole process again~~~ Sorting my photos now.. come back just in a while's time...

Kanna chased by the ID for the fridge dimension... but we hvn't even decided wat fridge to buy~~ how to give dimension... Anyway, hubby and I are looking at those 'big' fridges ... with nice design (that is my criteria.. ).. we prefer those fridge door like the real door kind, gap in the middle line, open left and right kind.. (is there anyone understand what i am saying?? ) any recommendation??

Anybody has any comment? Is it a common practise to have 2 year warranty for reno works? Or 5 year ah? Hv been busy revising the itemlist in the quote... it has 5 pages..... burn big big hole hole from wallet liaio...

Have been struggling to find an ID firm for more than 2 months liao.. still cannot confirm.. ai.. a really tiring process.. So far I've been to 4 ID firms (seems not many ID firms compared to a lot of forumer here. But, it is really very very time consuming and tiring process Imagine I spent average 4-5 hours for one appointment for each of the ID firms and at least 3 appointments for each of the ID firms so far........ ) 1. Max's image at HDB hub ID so so, actually I found myself more creative than her... (I am typical Libra, inborn artist.. haha ) and the quoate is quite high 2. TheLineLiving at IMM 3. Chew Interior at JE Very Very Very bad experience. Hubby even wondered how they could survive till now with such service. ai, if I have time, will share the experience here. 4. The interior place (TIP) at Aljunie Now only left TheLineLiving and TIP in my list. Any one has any comment or experience with them? Actually both quoate are high. Actually both are higher than Max's image. But, dun know leh.. Max's image's quote is quite vague and unclear of a lot of things plus I am not very confident with their designer.. The ID from TheLineLiving is quite friendly. I must say he is quite a good sales man. I believe his service and workmanship should be quite OK one. He volunteerily showed us to the Tile shop at Balestier and help us select tiles and 3 projects in progess (one more handed over project this weekend) even before we confirm. The Cons is I just found out that he seems not the actual ID, coz he said "I will let my designer do the design, but I will let them know your requirements and preference". And I asked for a few perspective drawing that he did for his project, such as TV console and kichen. I must say, I can't see much design from the TV console feature wall. Or am I just too picky?? For TIP, the designer really have design sense. I can say that I believe he will have no issues in giving a design that I will truly like. He even just anyhow took out a magazine during our conversation and pointed to a few pages and said it is his design. hmm.. I must said not every designer has such portfolio. The main concern is more of whether the design is really going to be practical for living in or is it going to be just nice to look at but not practical for living in. We currently have not seen any of his actual unit, so we do not know how his workmanship is going to be. What the ID has told us is that the warranty will be 2 years, which seem much shorter compared to the LineLiving, so it does give some concern on how lasting his work will be. To add on to it, we also found that he seem to have a preference to use wallpaper, which we heard cannot last long. One more thing, his quote is also high, high, high. By the way, I want to know usually how many years of warranty the ID firm will provid ah... TheLineLiving said on the paper 5 years, but we can still call him after 5 years. For TIP, it is 2 years. Any comment or suggest will be greatly appreciated...

Hi Silver, Can I have the list of ID too?? I am getting my hse soon... now is in the struggling period to find ID firms... Thanx thanx...
