Yalor. me see liao oso super heart bang Why my reno so much earlier?

actually after choosing the tiles, my fren wants to change the layout...yet again :faint: Alas, he can't help but feeling strange w/o a storeroom. Initially he planned to make one at one corner of the kitchen. It was later replaced by the cooking hob after the advice of FSM. Now, he hope to make one directly opp the hob. meaning the washer & dryer hv to give way and re-settle at middle of kitchen. washing basin thus got to make against chute wall so as to make more walking space rather than L-shape. And L-shape wardrobe in MBR is also scrapped as he wants more space in MBR so tt his bb gal can bunk in (with her bb cot). His workdesk is tucked in a corner of his bb's rm. not custom made. think should be getting one from ikea or somewhere... here is, (hopefully) the final plan :

The white one is the wavy kitchen wall tile + orange tiles that will only for the wall between top& bottom kitchen cabinets. So it means no need to do backsplash...save $$ Closer look of the orange tile

Tiles for the whole house has been chosen from Sin Lek Building Materials P/L at 70 Eunos ave 7. The salesperson, Jasmine was very helpful and friendly. Glossy tiles for living & bedrooms 1st tile from top is for Kitchen floor. 2nd for kitchen wall (abit wave surface) The rest not selected. for show nia Bathroom tiles. All will be in white (same design) but only the shower area has a row of yellow with 2 strips of mosaic running along at 2 sides of yellow. Toilet tiles. All will be in white (same design) but only the wall facing the toilet door has a row of green with 2 strips of mosaic running along at 2 sides of green. The picture is not so clear to show the shimmering glitters in some of the green mosaic. very pretty

Hi, me pm u liao

Think you could venture into industrial parks to search for shops doing glass work. Me found one that make mirror & glass doors & sort in Bt batok ind pk. they can cut sizes to ur requirement.. on the spot quote u, confirmed? on the spot cut for u

Ya! Can't wait for the pictures le

Sorry, now then see ur post aft browsing thru old postings This is a super old flat. think >30 years liao :faintz: But good location lor.

yes!! me bought mine at below $400 PM u liao

Liddat oso nt difficult??? me really :bow: Very well done leh

door with design like this should give u the theme mood IMHO

Hi Hi IMHO, if u want to hv gaps betw the steps, then u shouldn't cluster tt space underneath. else u will b defeating the purpose. I may b wrong. just my feeling only. I feel ur ID suggestion is good. box up is neater & hopefully less dusty. U could hv an oriental-style door to stick to ur theme.

Yes, U r rite, Yowetan Actually to me, the selection of contractor/ID is very simple. Get the most with the limited budget. Of course, workmanship/design/quality are impt factors. But to me, if I dun hv the $$, how to afford tt as long as the reno is done at available budget & at acceptable quality. I'm happy though not expecting problem-free reno process, I think updating at RT blog will help to drive the contractor to better perform Hahaha... many thanks again to RT bro & sis. Unity is POWER! Yeah!!

Hi all, thanks to our RT bros & sis, Alan learns the hard way tt marking up high is definitely nt the way to get biz. He has changed and re-offered my fren. The deal is now confirmed and reno will start on 10 June (fren set the date). Stay tuned for the reno progress

wow!! got entertainment room leh!! How envious me feel if can match gold with cleanline design, the place can still turn out modern & classy de hehehe...

Hello Neighbour any update? Long time no 'see' u liao

price ex but the design so chio lor...SWEE

Now still getting some more quote. hope to start reno by end of next week. lucky they got place to stay de, else will b so rush FYI, Pinkpetter, Alan told my fren he willing to match the prices he got from others think ah soon give him pressure overall his quote is more ex on carpentry & window + grilles. Think these items are taken from maker, so more ex bah...

Very nice leh!!! U use bar top to replace dining table, is it?

U bet!!! They R very very happy! Finally what they need & want all can be put into the layout. I can say this is the final layout le Now they can feel the usefulness of posting a T-blog! Thank U V much!!! Thank U all RT sis & bro (sound like award-receiving speech )

thanks folks Shall convey the mass preference to my fren Oso, think they looking into white/orange (kitchen), white/yellow/orange (living) Modern Retro theme Anyone can share share sample pictures of such theme? Me can only think of retro chair & clock
