Yes indeed I am excited on how things will turn out but lots of pre-renovation homework to be done. Have bought quite a number of magazines, visiting showflats, etc. to get renovation ideas...

A. If I am going for downlights, I will need 23 for the living room, entrance pathway and outside the 3 bedrooms corridor. B. 3 lights for the balcony C. 3 lights for the toilets D. 2 lights for the kitchen E. 1 light for the yard F. 3 lights for the bedrooms G. 1 light for the dinning As for switches, it's already provided by the development. Will go Malaysia (either JB or Ipoh) to buy lightings. Going to Hong Kong this weekend, hopefully can find something as well. Heard from my cousin who is staying there that household items, lightings, etc. are cheaper than Singapore.

Thanks so much, flyingballons. Can't wait to TOP end of the year. Just passed by the construction yesterday, all wrapped up in nets...can't see a thing

Hi Patsy_Ng and Umaisarah, Hope you can assist me. What is the height from the floor to the ceiling of your condos before you build the false ceiling please? Mine will only come in Ocot 2010 and now having disagreement with my fiance whether to build false ceiling to contain the downlights. Because both of us are tall. He is 1.8m and I am 1.7m. He is worried that once the false ceiling is built, the entire place will look even smaller. Your advice is deeply appreciated! Thank you! Cheers, Magyarposta

Just got to know that my home likely to TOP by Oct 2010. Yeah! Can't wait...

Any idea where I can get these digital locks please? Which brand will you recommend? Cheers!

Hi Joswwl, Can you PM me the painters' contact numbers please? Cheers, Magyarposta

We approached a few IDs and asked for quotations before we finally decide to go for contractors instead. A. Citrus Interior Design B. Classic I C. Easrnest Interior D. Unimax Creative If you wish to have the detailed quotes, please PM me. I am most happy to share.

Dear fftw, I really enjoyed reading your detailed blog and thanks for sharing. Can you PM Dennis's contact to me please? My fiance and I have decided to go for contractors instead of IDs. Cheers!

Thanks for your warm welcome, Supersimon and leechaorui! I am actually looking forward to my renovation soon...counting down now...206 days left... Most likely we will go for contractors rather than IDs as the quotes I received recently really varies alot and not overhaul the entire unit.

Wow...very unique and stricking colors, you have chosen mysweetlittlethings! How I wish I can take a month leave as well to do renovation too.. By the way, I hope you do not mind sharing your renovation contractor's contact details with me. Please kindly PM the details. Deeply appreciated!

Very nice and beautiful renovated EM! Congrats, Pinkydot! If you don't mind, can you PM me your contractor's details please?

Thank you lilithfiend! Here's the floor layout.

First of all, I have to thank Renotalk for having this forum to assist first timers like me in renovating our homes. Not forgetting the forumers i.e. SuperSimon, Nirvana, etc. who shared their renovating experiences, contacts and advices to all. Deeply appreciated! My fiance and I bought a place last year and will be getting my keys end of the year I hope. Here are the items we wish to do. We are still deciding whether to go for ID or contractor. Hope to get some advice from you. By the way, how do I attach the floor plan here? Only URL link is accepted.
