blue_diamond

actually was thinking of feature wall as well...just cant seem to find nice idea ...we also worry that the feature wall will take up walking space...which may leave us narrow pathway .....(wifey thinking)...which i sort of agree also...

Can undrstand what u mean....i must say the last price he quoted was attractive...i have seen alot of issue been raises recently from other thread about issue with the standard of work...that set me back abit also....but no budget...what to do? I wanted to do feature wall...but now start to have my hesistation....this is my 1st home...1st reno....i really know nuts about it....just worry even if they do wrong...i amy not be able to spot it...sigh... reno sure more siong than wedding....

Yup...my biggest concern is that Uncle has his hands too full...which the standard will drop...sigh...but guess that the price to pay ba

Thanks Guy77...w/o yr help...think we got to strain our eye to see...wahahahaa

3rd choice look good!!

Juat a quick question, For those using uncle soon, do uncle give u any drawing to confirm before reno?Cos jason say that he will. For feature wall, cabinet design n colour...do u tell them what colour n design or they will suggest n help?

i think we should get him a PDA as a gift liao...and conduct lesson for him...hehehehe. Not sure who will be in charge of my area ley...i will prefer ah soon to be in charge..... let me try again...hope it turn up well....so u all can advise me...hehe

I think the area was hot due to the City view...that y it became very expensive over night...hehehehe. Mine also hack everything....sianz... I will agree...in fact me an pink_diamond thinking of taking 1/2 day leave daily to do that...but like also siong ley...wahahahaha

hehehe...i also think the light is huge lor...just worry that not enough height to hang .......hmm....

Thanks Guy....thanks for yr encouragement and guidance..if not dun think i will start the blog also.... me bought it $1840...dunno if it too ex anot...hmm... My wifey love these lights...so just let her buy lor.....but since it fabric...so must also maintain abit... let see if this is better...

Oh...din know mcnair area so poular...thought it like abit ulu place...hehehehe. I got it at a reasonable price, 30k under COV ...so no complain. I was desperate then also looking at tpy n bishan too...but still like mcnair area...guess i am stubborn ba... I have good impression of Ah soon and Jason, in fact was chatting away with them when we meet up the last few rounds....so i am just waiting what best price he can offer for me.... keep my finger cross... I know the hind side of it is that i will need to do regular check....but just worry i am not a techincally incline person...(blur blur...pink_diamond better in this)...But think there no perfect in everything...as long as they are prompt to action...i think i am ok with it...i am not in a rush to move in also...

Hahaha..that what i just told pink_diamond...i told her"uncle improve liao...no more boeing 747...this time round has informed flight cancel before take off...already improve liao" Think i am lucky...weekend must buy 4d...huat ah...wahahahaha

manage to dig out some lights which Pink_diamond has bought...realise we indeed kiasu...wahahahaha...hope we are not the only 1...hehehehe

Yup...i waited for nearly 1 year plus before getting this unit...but seem like the unit is longish...also abit challenging to design( that my tots...maybe wrong) Hehehehe...pple in this area has been around for long...there is a possiblity we have seen each other also...

Yeah...so u stay in towner or boon keng area as well? I though u stay in Yishun( from your signature)...hehehehehe Yup...was chatting with guy 77 ytd as well....it his encouragement for me to start this messy blog of mine...also dunno what to write...headache...wahahahaha

Hi Pinkpetter, In fact got to thanks u for pass the contact to Pink_ Diamond in the 1st plc... I agree with u on that...i mean can see that he is sincere and all seem to be included...but not sure how much he will quote me for the above mentioned...

Uncle just called my wifey to say that the appt has change to tomorrow.....alhoigh it really hard to get him....at least the good thing is that he manage to call to inofrm...i should wait...wahahaha

I have also been looking for long...grew up in this area...esp it just 2-3 blocks away from my current place..... It tough to find esp when people not willing to move, if not asking price sky high...so u got any place yet? I din pay any cov...it was below cov in fact...

Totally agree with u....in fact we have been cracking our head on design as well...somehow just worried that our design turn out ugly...wahahaha I am poor in all these...luckily my wifey is better in such area...my job is just to be a runner for her...wahahahaha.

Hi Rierie, me not sure when the sales will be....but i believe there always alot of sales going on...it a gimmick. In fact i sort of wish i went to sungei kedut to take a look before committing....but since Furniture Mall going to have sales....maybe going there to look around again...since it nearer...

Thanks for your advice....mine is a 5 rm lor... this is just the 1st quote...so havent nego yet also...but way above my budget...must praise this ID for his talent and creativity....his freehand drawing etc is good...someone with ideas and concepts... The only con i din like that he will always want to "box this up", "false wall here", False celing there"...wahahhaa...was joking with my wifey that he should be the spokenman for "box up, and false wall/celing association" if there any in sg...wahahahaha Dont wish to have too many false wall or what to make my place smaller...that my thoughts...

Thanks angel...been trying hard to find a place cos for the pricing...now we got it...start to headache for concept for reno....the headache goes on...wahahahha

Thanks thanks...love the sofa as we are taller in height...so will need a high back sofa...if not neck pain ah...wahahahaha I will share some before reno pic soon...it is with my wifey camera...actually the longish layout also cause us the headache....like too long...but not wide wnough...that my thoughts....
