Stairs Area (Centre) Spiral swarovski. dun reali like the shades. wondering if i shd change to another design of similar budget.... considering changing the bulb colour to cool instead of white. Lightology nvr change the bulbs after they blew. lolx! (On wall) Master Bedroom hope this crystal lamp wont clash with my bedroom's golden shimmering wallpaper...

Here's the lights for the hse... Living hall (using existing. to be move from current home) Dining Area (using existing. to be moved from current home) Foyer Area (using existing. to be moved from current home)

Entertainment Room (forgot to take the pic of the matching Black Wallpaper. Similar to study room's white, juz that it's in black): Study Room:

Master Bedroom: Really hope gold shimmering wallpaper will not be too over for my master bedroom. if not.... Kids' Room: Love my kids' room's wallpapers. the combination is very sweet, dont u think? ok, maybe juz in a girl's point of view. hehe.

Took some pictures when we choose the our wallpapers the other time. It was at a so-called 'special packaged price' by Alex- the boss of Montella. Hopefuli the effect of the wallpapers we chose will turn out nice. Looking at all the -ve feedbacks abt Montella, I reali hope hubby & I nvr make a wrong choice to use them... Living Area/Dining/2nd storey Common Area: Living Area (beside Black Mirror Wall): Stairs Area: We chose such a scary pink wallpaper at the stairs area cos geomancer advised the colour of that area to be red. hahaha~!! think this colour is reali, reali bold.

Yea~ Hacking works are all approved , except for the wall in BR3. Lawrence told me the officer wanna c what the material of tat wall is before allowing us to demolish it. the officer will be at the site during the demolition works. hmm... din know it work this way... hubby is out of town, so it's juz me & oni me deciding on the reno works now. hehe. MY CALL!! wahahahahhahaha~!!! saw in the forum some bad feedback abt montella. come to think of it, labon has yet to get back to me regarding my bringing forward of the wallpaper installation to 25 nov from 1 dec. i've notified her abt it 2 weeks ago. she told me she'll check on it & till now, no news. sigh... hope they wont delay my completion date... keeping my fingers crossed. Meeting Lawrence tmr evening to see the altered designs. juz called Paul to confirm my Crystal lamps. Will be getting Thomas to do my electrician works. He gave me a very gd price for my 55 lighting points (some with dimmers & 2 way switches), 2 a/c compressors, 1 2 way heater, SCV points, phone line, etc. $4,000 including my 6 crystal lamps installation. he gave me a reali gd discount as this is my 2nd time using him. was quoted $5,000-5,500 by others (w/o crystal lamps installation!!).

Anything u c on ur flr plan not marked with 'X' is urs.

Congrats!!!!

icic. hopefully mine can be completed before december. cos if not, my family of 4 will be homeless. hehe. i do have a t-blog. but it's still quite empty. not much entries at the moment. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?sh...mp;#entry575439 concept for my EM will be somewhat similar to my current hse- a 5room. This t-blog was started more than 2 yrs ago.. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?sh...;hl=blueblue_m6

hi fellow-EMer!! I'm also getting the keys to my EM in Pasir Ris on 15 Oct 2010. Starting reno on 17th (yes, on a sunday due to fengshui). When r u planning to start ur reno? Gd luck to ur renovation!! will be following ur blog.

It's F1 race tonite!! im updating this & watching F1 on TV at the same time. hehe. Lawrence juz came over to do alterations to the design of the carpentry. Reali hope the hse'll turn out nice. As leather cushions r too expensive, Lawrence proposed using PVC instead. He said he'll get back to me to let me know the price. hope it wont be expensive...

*salutes*

Nice Plc u've got there!! Any pics of ur bedrooms?

Getting my keys to an EM in Pasir Ris on 15 oct. Reno starting 17 oct (due to fengshui). Hope all goes well. Looking forward to our new Plc.

Lawrence told me cushions for feature wall (in leather) costs $32psf. Is it reali that expensive?

Here's a list of things we've gotten: ID Firm engaged Maple Design. Din go back to Wayne, The Interior Place, due to budget constraints. Hope all goes well. As for Maple Design, price is definitely reasonable. Though creativity is somehow restrictive. hmmm... come to think of it, Lawrence has yet to get back to me regarding my Crystallized Glass Panel Kitchen Worktop (which i've oredi found the contact no & name of the supplier for him to call) & cushioned feature wall. Lawrence, the boss is a very friendly guy. So far, he has been answering very promptly to all our doubts. very easy going guy. Plumbing & Bathroom accessories L-Phenomenon Went back to Cynthia, L-Phenomenon cos they supplied the accessories for my current home. Though I know a lot of forums had negative feedbacks abt them, be it abt high price or bad service, i must beg to differ. In fact, i tot their service 2 yrs ago was gd & pricing's reasonable, though definitely not the lowest. Lightings Eurostar Went back to look for Paul. Both me & hubby love crystal lightings. So ended up buying 3 more sets of swarovski crystal lamps, along with some spotlights, PLCs, etc from him this time round. Including my existing 3 sets, we'll be having 6 crystal lights in the new place!! hehe. He gave us a very good 'friendship-price'. Thanx Paul~!! Curtains Art Living Went back to Ada for the curtains. Quite happy with their service 2 yrs ago. She gave us some old customer's discount. Wall Paper The Montella My 1st experience with them. So far, so good. The staff helping us is Labon. I must say she's quite knowledgeable. Their wallpapers' range is very wide & designs are beautiful. Got a package from them to wall paper the entire hse (except kitchen, bathrooms & Balcony). Sofa & TV Console (For Entertainment Room) Cellini Got a piece of sofa in full cow-hide, along with a round sofa seat (as coffee table) & TV console from Ramesh. Aircon Gain City Got a good deal when panasonic was having a promo for the air-con units. bought 2 x 3 split units = 6 units. Airconditioning the hse is enuff to burn a hole in our pockets. Luckily we shopped at the rite time. Pending Items: 1. Kids' bed (if we wana change), wardrobe & helpers' bed -Considering ikea's. din wana custom make, cos the kids r still small, & ikea has reasonably priced bed & wardrobe set that allow interest-free instalment payment! hehe. of cos, if budget allows in future, will revamp their room based on their likings. ended up getting built-in wardrobe & built-in half height cabinets instead.... not planning to get kids' bed 1st. prob will juz spray paint their existing cots to white. will have to get a bed for my helper though. 2. A Fridge with Ice Maker & water dispenser - Current one doesnt have this function & there's not enuff iced water for my mahjong kakis. 3. Hood & Hob- Most prob will be getting the same hob i'm using now. Ariston's Vitroceramic. The price dropped from 2 yrs ago by $100. 4. Projector Screen & Speakers -to be decided by hubby which to get.

"U guys seem to LOVE the renovation process alot huh??" One friend asked me. Yes, we're on our way to move to our 3rd home at Pasir Ris end of this yr. & No , we seriously dont LOVE the renovation process, though i have to admit it can be fun at times, but the tiredness is a million times more!!! From Lavender to Sengkang to Pasir Ris in 4 short yrs. How's that? Not for the love of home moving. Rather, i'm planning more for my 2 princesses, now 23 mths & 10 mths. had hacked away a room to make more space for my master bedroom & i kind of regretted it now. Not enuff rooms!! I hope this time, i will update promptly & not be like the last one. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?sh...;hl=blueblue_m6 Here we go!!! ================================================================================================ The Original Floor Plan: Think most of the EM forummers have the same layout as mine. ok, maybe not. haha. We have engaged a geomancer for this new home. Many wild ideas were shelved , creativity was restricted , & brain juices were drained juz to build an ideal home in-line with the geomancer's advises. hope this is all worth the effort!! Will be hacking quite a fair bit. Changing my master bedroom to bedroom 2. Swapping the common bathroom with the master one. A different concept master bathroom. An open concept study & dancing room. An open concept white kitchen.... Pls do stay tuned for more updates!! Our new home's new layout (which i drew myself using paint): Layout maybe subjected to changes.
