wah looks very comfy.. I can almost smell the leather from here! hahha also bought a dining table and 4 chairs from them, but not delivering so soon. hope all goes well.

Cos I doing contra! I only have 1 week to throw everything in, one week to move house. Wanna get a lot done so we don't have to stay in Reno for too long. Heh heh

The kitchen cabinets will be dividing the kitchen into two... So yup I guess you could say that. They'll be in the same room though, if you know what I mean.

Pm-Ed!

Final quote came up to 19k+!!! Somemore its inclusive of bed feature walls and consoles. I think it's a good deal. Will list down as we confirm everything!

Hello! We have finalized with Andy from Baroque D'zign. He will be coming tomorrow at 3pm to measure up the house!

PM is private message... Just click the person's name in the post and send private message.

I saw a shop in SGH that sells all kinds of bars for the elderly/wheelchair bound... even the wheelchair toilet. I also need to get some bars for my toilets and foyer steps. Will probably get them from SGH. good luck!

hahaha it's ok... buy liao cannot regret. later like me... I buy dining table $800+, end up there is a forumer selling used SAME one for $200. HAHA good luck on your CC and bed!

yah I hear many good reviews about Hommage so finally went to see yesterday... Turns out most their sofa quite good price. But it's not the extravagant type... Just simple. I love their consoles and shoe cabinets too! woo hoo!

hahah no la... it's made to measure also. I think our width of the living room is about 2.8m also... so cannot make too long! hur hur

Still got so many more things to do! But yah, most of the 'buy' part done, just need a few more lights, electronics and sinks Lights we bought Dining Light Something like the sofa we bought... in light pastel green.

Today 1st appt day! First, we had to wait for late Seller AND Agent. Since we are doing Contra, we need all three parties to be present. Our Buyer was already quite annoyed... Anyway, we were ushered to the counter after a short wait one after another. Took turns to finalize and confirm all our documents. Then, we took turns to go into the interview room to sign many many documents, and confirmation papers. Turns out my mum has actually signed up for Trust, stating that for the sale of this current place, 50% will be returned to her, 25% to me, 25% to my brother. Thus we will have less to pay upfront for the new place, and I will need to use up more of my HLE loan (in fact, ALL $174,000 of it). We now need my brother down within the next week or so to sign the documents since we didn't know about this Trust thing, and also copies of his I/C and our birth certs and death cert of my father. After that, we went to Hommage Trading @ Tai Thong Crescent! Got a good deal of an L-shaped sofa (measurements to be confirmed) + 1 extra set of changeable covers for around $1,000. Next thing on the list... We made a beeline for Baroque D'zign because of the many good reviews I have read on this forum. Met up with Andy and we insta-liked him. Waiting for a quote from him and some negotiations. Meanwhile, he has advised us to start arranging for our delivery for our air-con (need to request for 2 time installation), lights (we went to lightings.com straight after), and sinks. Sofa and Bed can come later... Don't know about TV and etc too, but we will need to decide on our size because we're aiming for an inbuilt console with lots of shelving. Like I said, we went to lightings.com after that. bought 3 bedroom simple lights, and dining lights, and foyer light. And one simple living room light. We have not decided for the glam light in front of the TV yet cos we need to check the spacing for the ceiling fan. 2nd appt on the 20th October, here we come!

tagged!

I'll tag your t-blog! I also wish to at least redo the kitchen initially, but as we're doing contra, my agent has forewarned me that I don't have much time to reno.... unless we opt for early reno. but then the seller is NOW asking ME for extended stay at MY new place.... while my buyer is impatient to move in as well... I think they're going to overhaul the whole house cos the state of my current flat is quite... wellll.... old school. so no chance of extending my stay here as well. yup, let's share reno ideas! though mine is really not... much of a reno, just plus here plus there I wish I have time to reno the whole place!

mother's bedroom built in wardrobe side brother's room that's about it for now! meanwhile... need to make appt for another on site measurement - this time for edmund!

dining area.... I don't like the tiles. very old fashioned and ugly for a dining zone. going to see what ID can do about it! and now, bed time in the MBR! side for built in wardrobe for 2 people... should be big enough

time for poo poo @ common toilet no sink!?!? how to brush teeth? built in mirror also moldy... MBR toilet same thing, no sink, mirror moldy

this is the dining area which I won't be changing the cabinets... (today we found out from the sellers that they are requesting to extract the built in oven and hob and hood... asked my agent about it, he said that by right, we have full right to refuse because we're buying all parts of the flat as ONE... if we want to give them, we have to 1) hunt for new appliances that fit perfectly. 2) reno whole kitchen... which means confirm we will rent a place for a month till reno is done because we refuse to stay in reno. either ways... I lugi, cos I need to fork out money! so I don't think we will give them... ) view from entrance of kitchen view of nice pwetty cabinets... view of cut off kitchen (behind short cabinet is dining area) view of hob/oven/hood
