Just came over to check your blog, we also like the Franke sink, can pm me where you get this good deal huh? How is your renovation progressing? I also choose the same mosaic pattern as you leh, did the 'defect' get fix already? If convenient, we are interested to go and view your place since clementi is relatively nearby

Angel, Thanks for the tip. I will try to bargain with him when I meet him up tomorrow. Oh you also buy from extreme lights? Good, at least now i feel safer .. haha I didn't take pictures for all the lights leh, becos mostly simple ones. I only took one for the dining area with my cam phone becos we are rushing at the end, will try to upload and post together with my pre-reno pics By the way, the ballast for the downlights they gave you is what brand har? They said it is made in aussie (got a kangaroo on the ballast), but hor we blur blur de, dunno kena 'conned' or not But confirm their lights are cheaper than Chan Huat ones lor!

Thanks! I am going to call him soon. Is one piece wc one better? I better go and study your t-blog again .. kekeke

My seller even better, I only managed to do final inspection last night and I am getting the keys today. You know when they confirm? On Friday evening hor .. and the time they arrange is 8pm ok? But we got dinner appt, so finally change to 6pm and they were still doing last min packing!!!

Finally .. today has come and this is THE DAY when we will take ownership. Will be meeting ah soon later today and Mr yeak tomorrow for onsite measurement and discussion before we finalise the quote. In terms of pricing, ah soon win hands down but we have yet to seen Mr Yeak's work. Do you all still do bargaining on the quote? Last Saturday we went to select tiles and pick up some samples liow .. and we bought all the lights and ceiling fan from Extreme lighting. Next on the list, finalise the quote then kick start the reno!!! Oh, by the way, where do you all buy your hood, hob, oven, wcs and stuff har? Can share share? We went Genova last weekend and saw some wc and basin packages. But in the end, we decided against them as the wc is a bit too small (not comfortable ) But we really like the franke 2 bowl kitchen sink, so will go back and get this.

Thanks PinkLady, Tiffanynip for your pm. The owner had hacked Bedroom 2, storeroom and constructed the small study room so that the living room became really huge. Bedroom 2 used to be located at the left section of the living room (just next to the study). The current study room has windows, so it can be converted into a really small bedroom. Wah, didn't know that enlarging the study room will costs so much, is it becos of the hacking? Maybe we should just discard the idea since it is so exp

Thank you all for your warm welcome .. Too kan cheong to posts last night and forgot about the vital statistics, haha Our home is nearby holland village, floor area is 104 sq m Thanks jesperbg for your kind recommendation on ah soon. Actually he was also recommended by pinkpetter and native02 too, we were quite keen to engage him too but now that he is so busy, we are a bit worried he will have no time to take on our case. Ya, we only have a few more weeks to find the "one" to help us. So if anyone got any other good contractors that you can recommend, please pm me. Thank you thank you thank you

Hello everyone! After lurking around for a while and admiring everyone's beautiful home, finally pluck up courage to start our t-blog. We purchase our 4 rm hdb resale flat recently and the 2nd appt is on the first week of April. Now we are having some headaches on how to do space planning and in the midst of looking for a reasonable priced contractor / id. If you have good recommendations, pls let us know ya Here's our floor plan Our plans are: 1) Renovate the master and common toilets 2) Replace the laminate floorings (is supreme a good brand for our climate?) 3) Make the study room a bit bigger so that it can be a third bedroom, if necessary 4) Build a small storeroom (too much junk) 5) Change the aircon, lights etc 6) Replace the laminate of the kitchen cabinets (is it true that it costs about the same price as replacing the whole kitchen cabinet??) What is a realistic budget? Please give us your advices and comments. Thank you!!!
