hi Mickey , u r rite. Our ID mentioned it will be rather costly to do up a Victorian theme and it will bust our budget so we tweak the design a bit and hope to attain a tinge of the Victorian look with furnitures, fixtures and fittings. I guess we were hoping for too much with our limited budget.

Hi Pinktini, Yeah, im getting similiar chairs.. it will suit my theme as well.

hi Adah, welcome to T-Blog. I bought mine from HDB as well during the oct balance flats. Looking forward to see ur t-blog, who are the IDs you are interested in currently?

wonder if any forumer has used Calibre Design or Homely Image as their ID. Would like to know their workmanship and their service..

Hi, thanks! i kinda feel the marble is a bit tainted, and the colour does not quite with my theme, unless i change my theme to suit the marble.

MBR By umeerhyder at 2010-03-01 Room 1 By umeerhyder at 2010-03-01 Room 2 By umeerhyder at 2010-03-01 I have currently shortlisted the following IDs 1) Darwin 2) Homely Image 3) Calibre Design. Awaiting reply from them, now pondering if I should get rid of the marble tiles as it will devalue the house...

Finally got my apartment keys on 26 feb after a few calls made to HDB. HDB was rather fast, kudos to them, a 3mth wait was experdited to a 1mth+ wait. Here are the pics of the flat.

Hi fellow T-Blog forumers. I thank the administrator for creating an informative portal for fellow houseowners like myself. This portal has been exceptionally helpful in my pursuit of searching for a reliable ID, contractor, designs by reading on the experiences of the forumers had in building their home. So, I decided to create a T-BLOG myself so that I can get opinions from fellow forumers. Yet to select any ID yet. I have balloted for a 5rm flat during the OCT 2009 balance of flats exercise and attained queue number 0001 for the purpose of selection of a house. I then paid the option fee for the purchase of the interested 5 rm flat. 1st appointment was on 18th Jan 2010, now awaiting for the good office of HDB to inform me of my 2nd appt. Here is the floor plan of the flat that I purchased from HDB I have yet to select any ID.. Went to a couple the past few weeks or so. 1) Chew Interior _ price rather on the high side and the comments from fellow forumers does not seem so positive 2) Outlook Interior_er.. the ID could not match up to our requirements and was trying to influence us with his ideas which we disagree. 3) Darwin Interior_price on high side as well, however the ID gave very practical ideas and drew some designs to "make space out of space" ie a mini study corner in MBR which we kinda like. 4) Received a call from Citrus Box when we email them for quotation, mentioned tat they will email me the quotation and arrange for meetup last week, yet no calls thereafter. wonder why... Anyways I am still on the lookout for a good id. Basically the plans for the house is to do a total revamp and renovate it to have a Modern Victorian look. Will be uploading pics of the current state of my house soon. Meanwhile, feel free to drop comments on which ID I should look at. Cheers~
