Hi claricegzh, From the photos, you are from skyville? Cos my initial guess was Skyterrace. I will be your neighbour in another 5 yrs time. The empty plot right behind skyterrace will be allocated for the SERS* replacement flat for Commowealth residents which will be our first choice selection beside the other choices offered. (*This will be one of the selected plot, the rest will be at margaret drive old hawker and wet market plot, one will be behind Commonwealth Tower and 2 other at the empty lots next to the existing Dawson flats. http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10297p.nsf/ImageView/CORPORATE_PR_27062014_ANNEX%20E-E5/$file/Annex+E-E5.pdf) If you are in skyterrace, there will be another 2 yrs of so for the enjoyment of the view now before the construction work begin (completion will be 2020 for our key collection). So excited to see a Dawson project in the forum and will love to see the wondeful transformation of your lovely place. Have a smooth renovation, cheers

Hi Mr & Mrs JohnB, Happy Chinese New Year! Sorry was super busy lately and was really late to check the reply. We love cleanline design as in minimalist or sleek industrial style of design. The next home will be a mix of everything as in : pandoma or cement + tiles + laminate flooring for different area. If the pandoma price is not too 'scary', we would love to have it for our kitchen to the dining section and pair up with either cement/natural stones lookalike seamless tile or dark wood grain seamless tiles. All depend our final layout in the later part. In fact, without the actual dimension of the floor plan it's kinda of hard to decide now. And I need to get back to my dawing board too for planning the interior decor. Anyway, I still have 6 years to plan for everything including the design. So have you decide the countertop?? LG Hi-macs new series looks cool, and quartz top was in my consideration list too....hahahaha How about Kompacplus top? I quite like the sleek seamless design featured in their website. Have fun on your renovation and hope everything all smoothly.

Hi JohnB, Din expect to see the Pandomo Floor & Wall recommendation here. Saw it at a Taiwanese renovation program and love the look and effect of it. Care to share how much is the quote for the flooring? If price still meet the budget, I would love to have it for my next new home. Thanks

Hi Huiqing, Thank you so much for the contact Hope that you have a smooth reno. Look forward to see the final result.

Hi Fingercrossed, This also the floor trap that i'm aiming for but not for current house of course. Been checking out all the renovation stuff and accessories online. You can find it locally too but price wise will be more expensive to get from TB. For those interested, here is the site: http://www.jonite.com/products/floor-traps But not sure are they willing to sell direct to the consumer or we have to get through their retailers.

hi huiqing, Congratulation for your new place . Love your selection of the lightings. The simplicity of it really suit for industrial scandi or industrial minimalist theme design. It's doesn't matter for starting off with a small or big house, more important is not to overstretch the financial limit. To be honest, we will be getting a 3rm replacement flat too (under SERS program for my neighbourhood) and still a long way to go for my flat selection and signing of all documents. As you can see, I'm kinda kiasu person . Even since we had completed our renovation in end 2009, I was like quietly fade out in the forum. So everything has to be restart again, reading old and new T-blogs, taking notes on the ID's info, checking designs online and save in our mood board, calculating how much we need to spend for reno and other things. My friends (all staying in the same neighbourhood) are like: ''huh!? why now? Still a long way to go and it'll be in 6yrs down the road". But think about it, reading a ton load of materials were not an easy job. Plus my sis BTO flat will be completed in another 1.5 or 2yrs time. All these will be handy in the later part. Sorry for the long nag. Love to see the complete reno of your place. Do update us with more reno photos and review of your ID. P/S: Do you mind to share/pm the contact for your electrician?

Hi Rover, Cool seeing another black hse. Into my 3rd year staying in one too;) oso a 3-rm, guess mine will be smaller than yours as it's at a super old estate.

Hi Vanessa & Kim76, Can check up Frankman's Tblog for Alibaba or Taobao stuff. He ordered a whole container of TB items from a local freight forwarder which happen to have a logistic office in Guangzhou. He personally checked all forwarders to get the best quote to bring in from China includes the custom clearance. For details, can drop a note at his Tblog. Hope the informations will give u a little help. Have a Good Day~

Sold my 4A unit (113 sqm) 2 yrs back. It's low floor unit but 3 mins to MRT with condo view (one bedroom is facing the condo pool) and new lakeside development going on near the mrt. Within 0.5km in one of the top primary school in that area...lol (we wanted to sell to young couple so they can make good use on this point but too bad). Well kep unit eventhough we'd stayed there for 9 yrs. Initially we put up a 36k COV but we sold it to a middle age couple with 3 daughters for 16k instead. Basically depend on how sincere the buyer and also do u like them during the discussion. They need the unit urgently so we put in express transaction request and after signing the final papers, they did a simply alternation and happily move in to my old place. Both parties are delighted in the end.

hi scl8k, sorry for replying late....hope tat u're still searching for your hod & hood. I would said so far so good except some rust did appeared on the surface of the hob now and it could be due to the wrong cleaning detergent tat we'd used. Still trying to make it less obvious. Supposed to be a package set but we don't like the slimline hood offered and they do allow us to change it to chimney type so we just top up the different between the two. Package price is $858 incl. GST. We got it from Mayer Store @Jurong Point. Look for Azman, he's really veri helpful if u intend to get it. Btw, Mayer is having their 23rd Annivesary sale now till 22/Oct. The indesit chimney hood is selling @$339 (UP $599) and washer, dryer, dishwasher @23% off. Good deal now. *HOB - Baby type 60cm with 4 burners and safety feature to cut off the gas supply if the fire went off w/o knowing. *HOOD - 60cm with 650m3/hr extraction power, come with 3 suction switching mode.

hi scl8k, sorry it's been a while since my last log on. Don't come here that often now. carpentry work all done by my contractor fren....can't realli recall for the breakdown on the kitchen itself. Blum stuff including all hinges and drawer runners for whole hse is abt 1k (additional cost which bore by us). He help us to get it from the direct dealer which is cheaper. my countertop is using LG solid surface which is the higher grade compare to other solid surface brands (except corian, two are on par). I got it @special price from my manager (ex-staff...he's kind enough to give me a special rate). My total reno cost alone: 48k+ (it's ex for a 3-rm)

hi MohGuan, i oso love those pre-war houses @tiong bahru but the cov is realli killing. Plus no lift so we scrapped the idea of getting one there. However, someone i know thru few of my mutual frens stay there but she had bought a 3-rm landed hdb near balestier so currently her 3yrs old (she stayed there onli 3 yrs) tiong bahru flat has been rented out instead. To be honest, i have not been to her place but her place was featured in one of the past isse Home & Decor mag. Basically, she had all the money to do up the place and oso her job. She worked in SPH as associate creative director for one of the high fashion mag. But i do like some of her ideas on her old place. Now her new place is a old skool look....more retro style. Juz a share, maybe u might like the idea (btw, she stay on e top floor too and as a onli unit on the top, she do a wrought garden gate on the stairway leading to her unit and put a nice chandelier on the stairway...private and nice personal touch) http://www.homeanddecor.com.sg/homes/creat...aces?page=0%2C0 p/s: she oso a kartell's fan

long brown stripes??? Sorry juspink19, but I just din get u....u mean the strings curtains or ???? hi limmike, mine is frosted black glass not in tinted brown.....come in a package cost more than 4k for bedroom alone (like a glass room). if u have caught the episode on okto last tue (home design program @11pm), u able to see another 3-rm design but in white frosted glass...oso a glass rm design. Quite surprise to see tat someone share same idea as mine.

Wah, tat's expensive. Not sure isit consider cheap to u....but cost me $39.90 for this and I got a white ochid (potted too) and a red color indoor potted plant for my toilet and some other gardening stuff. Will need to go down again to see any special cny small potted flowers to decorate my place.

Sorry, why I keep thinking is Supreme leh??? Blur mind. Prego has a ofc here and I'd visited their ofc cum showrm b4 with my gf. Know their ofc is somewhere near Centra Mall @Clark Quay. Along the stretch of shophses. Dun think I still keep their contact....aiyo.
