Hahaha, I no magic, my ID then got magic (hopefully) hahaha.. If it's me doing the design, then confirm cannot make it. He is not exactly considered freelance bah, he has a registered company and all. If you like what you see on the blog, then you should really check out his showroom. Its hahaha yeah, luckily challenge is not mine liao.

That you will need to ask him yourself. He is quite a friendly guy to talk to. Hope the theme can gel with the layout ah.. hahaha

Your study is very nice! Kinda reminds me of an office tho... heee..

Wow, the whole design is so neat and clean. nice!

Hi Celestial, one question about the TV console. The TV console is on the wall that is slanted right? So does that mean the TV console, platform and sofa is slanted to suit the angle of the wall?

Yah, the interchange is super crowded, especially during the weekends. Don't think we will dare to go Jurong Point during weekends. The crowd is .. However, we can't really choose also lah. New flats nowadays so scarce, and COV for resale flats are so high. So just live with it loh. Yah, I think the other forumers having the same layout as me have great designs. Just hope that my ID can deliver bah.

Wow, you have a nice squarish layout. Kinda envy cos I got a slanted one... Anyway, looking forward to seeing your final product, and more pictures please!

Yeah, we got a book on country styled decor at the MPH book fair at expo a few weeks ago, and gotten quite some ideas there. Lots of wallpapering, and wooden frames. And for some reason, they hang plates on the wall too. Dun think we will be following that. Hahahaha. Can't wait to share the ideas with my ID and see what he will come up with.

Hi all, here is my floor plan as promised. See how the slanted wall can be a problem? Even my ID said it would be quite challenging for him.

Yah, I'm expecting lots of white finishing for the wood stuff (think will die maintaining, but nevermind ) and for the living area, we have a huge slanted wall to consider.. our ID have a tough job ahead yah loh.. it seems very cookie cutter style to me.. cos their portfolio consists mainly of modern style and and they seem quite reluctant when they heard that we want country style.. maybe out of their comfort zone bah.. hehehe..

Hello people! Have been camping in this forum for the longest time already and reading thru everybody's posts. Finally it's my turn as my hunt for ID is over and the design phase is going to start soon. The theme that we want is a country theme, which is not a very common design for local design firms. (verified that by the looks on their faces :dunno: when we told them that we want a country look ) In the end, we settled for an independent designer, Loyd, who was extremely friendly and nice to work with. His attitude of "I wana work with you, not work for you" also left a gd impression on us as we felt that home designs should be collaborative rather than the ID's work alone. Anyway, that's all for my first post. Will be uploading my floor plans and stuff soon as the discussion begins~ Can't wait to start!

Wow.. your place looks great.. more pics please!

Wow Celestial, looks like your home really coming along very well. Can't wait to see your completed work.. hahaha

Great! So i suppose u guys doing a walk in wardrobe for the MBR?

Cool! looking forward to see more photos from your apartment then!

Wow, that's some major overhaul! May I know your unit is a corner or a corridor unit?

No lah, it was quite loud but it shuld be one off event bah.. hopefully u will not be hacking walls every weekend.. Will be quite keen to see how your gigantic master bedroom turns out~

Nope, I think we are staying directly below you. We haven't started our reno yet, but rest assured that we wont be hacking the bedroom walls so you dun have to worry abt the noise level.

Hi Celestial, Just wondering, did you do the hacking of your MBR and BR2 on Sat afternoon?

quickly move in also good wat.. i still need to wait a year or so to officially move in leh..

eh.. we havent even started reno leh.. only going to start after the CNY. cos wedding is towards the end of next year.. so i'm taking my time to find out more about what can be done.

Hmmm... i think the dining area window already have privacy as it is facing a weird angle.. I think I'll just put a curtain or blind bah.. quite like the current natural lighting. Anyway you moved in already?

Hey Helen, I though u are corner unit? Also need the window film?

Wow, your hubby very hardworking leh.. hahaha

For the parquet flooring, do you guys see stuff like small hair stuck in the layer of varnish that comes initially from HDB?
