hi Rasp, Would like to check with u, where did u go to buy your kitchen sink n wats the dimensions? Thanks

orhh.. then its ok .. =)

Hi supersimon .... Can i check with u wats the code of the red that u used for your kitchen cabinet? thanx

Hihi, asked my husband about the sliding door.. He says its with top n bottom tracks and the width should be about 86cm ..

*help*..... anyone? can i ask for more freebies or discount ??

ya ... Its after comparsion, then we decide on this contractor.. N we got a few changes to the things(example: the flooring, bi-fold doors) we wan to do in the beginning. This is the final list of things .. Was actually thinking if we can cut the price further or ask for more freebies..

Alum stands for aluminium ... i dun have the dimensions with mi .. Got to ask my husband .. will share after i asked him

granite keep the house cool ,aso the lines inbetween will not be too obvious ..

Theres a door in between the MBR and bedroom 2, therefore we need to seal up that. The wall tiles and floor tiles for the kitchen and toilets we can choose up to $3.00 p.s.f ... The granite we choose is $6.50 p.s.f ... I m still looking for maybe abit more discounts ... Would appreciate some suggestions and comments .. thanks!~

Hi kaleidoscope, congratz on your purchase .. we will be living quite near to each other wor .. My new house at avenue 4, currently living at avenue 3 =)

Hmm long time since I updated this, things have been going stale and the owner just delayed my moving in till 14th November. Haiz... Anyway 2nd appt soon still so much to do haha, haven't bought my kitchen, toilet accessories and aircon too. Yup that was my original idea, and after thinking about it for so long and playing with a number of ideas we went back to that of moving the storeroom into bedroom 3 Haven't decided on where to buy my kitchen accessories but was thinking probably Hoe Kee since it is cheaper Sin Siang Choon. Probably do my lighting shopping at Balestier, although considering if I should go into JB for this, but just afraid of the hassle. And finally after alot of back and forth, decided to do granite flooring for my living and bedroom floor from Lian Hin. Selected the rest of my tiles from SBH. Post more when I get more haha.

thats aso an headache coz dunno where to relocate..

ya loh... thats the headache we r having .. have a few ideas. 1. Moving the storeroom to occupy the "cove" in Bedroom 3 but that would make the bedroom small. 2. Replace the existing store with a storage cabinet which would take up lesser space, maybe half the width of the current store and possibly shorter in length too, 3. Move the storeroom into the kitchen, which would cramp up the kitchen even more haha headache... Any other ideas?

Above is my house plan for my recently purchased resale 4a unit Still looking for ideas on this and working. Am thinking of doing a deep red kitchen cabinet with black trimmings and grey floor tiles and white wall tiles. Bathrooms with black floor tiles and white wall tiles. Still deciding on the rest. Still trying to figure out some nice design concepts

Hi Forkie, My kitchen's layout same as yours.. Saw that u do your storeroom in the kitchen.. Can share some pic of that? I m having a headache of where to relocate my storeroom now.. thanx..

I recently purchased a 4-rm HDB house 104 sqm and have been actively looking for an ID/contractor for reno, the house is in a condition where I have to reno the whole house from floor ceiling, piping,doors windows, electrical etc. And so far all the quotes I have got put my expenditure at close to 40k. However my friends tell me that it is really expensive but I can't figure out why the cost seems so high. anyone have any idea below is a sample of 1 of my quotations which is actually one of the lower cost ones.
