Nice sofa you have there. Cant imagine it is the same sofa that we have ordered. Means to show that different material gives a different vibe.

Hi MinChooLee, Thanks for dropping by but my renovation have yet to complete, will update when the carpentry is up.
-
Oh my! The person from star living told me a year or 2 ago it was $1,400. I remembered you bought it from them. The tiler told me after tiling every thing will goes in quickly but now heard that it will be quickly up after carpentry. Either way the carpentry just got confirmed yesterday and will be up about 2-3 weeks later. Not sure after that 1-2 weeks will be sufficient for the rest of the things.

Hi sevecrucio Mine is not a ID, you could find my contractor at my signature below.

Day 60 Still no updates on the next to do. Not sure when and what to expect. As we have place order for our Fridge 2 months due to a promotion and staff price. We were arranging at the latest we could but the redemption period for vacuum cleaner which comes with the fridge expire on Jan meaning delivery have to be before Jan as we could only redeem after the the deliver of the Fridge. Been trying to find out the timeline from Mr K but to no avail. Was just being told that "cannot" "no choice" "sure will hit" "if spoil wont be responsible" When asked when can we arrange for delivery, He replied "Jan" Early Jan also Jan, Mid Jan also Jan, end of Jan also Jan. As right now have no idea how are things progressing as once we start asking he will says that we are chasing him. Our HERF are not in as well as we have no idea what is the progression stage. As of Saturday, the progress still looks the same. Not sure when we could contact evorich to lay HERF.

Thats great! means you are moving in soon too. Just want to check, did you have any add on to your reno? We have some changes, removing and adding on to the reno but K have yet to inform us of the final price. So not sure if it might be the same for you? Yes!! I bought the lounge chair! mine will be arriving before chinese new year. we took the blue one. Mind sharing a photo of yours when its here? Keen to see how the grey one looks like.
-
Oh my~ He did mentioned that tools were lost but did not mentioned from which project he did. I did warn him that other BTO had their stuffs and tools missing tools thats why he starts changing all the number locks into padlock. But how did the police manage to recover the items? K sometimes get things mixed up, he told me it was Boon Lay not sure he have other projects in Boon Lay though but it seems like he only had 1. LOL! or maybe there is another one. Just confirmed your carpentry as in measurement? or drawing? My carpentry is not alot but carpenter told us it might take awhile. about 2.5weeks. When is your move in date?
-
Hi there! nice to see you lilacdream~ LOL! Mr K did not complain about you but rather complain about his brick walls being stolen at the foot of the block just like ours. Like tangie have mentioned, once he promised the date, he should be able to deliver, so lets cross fingers. Which stage of reno are you at?
-
hHAHAAH~ its funny one day ceiling fans and air con missing. I heard of alot of missing items cases. Mr K have his items lost too. Im very afraid to bug Mr K, later he have no updates for me and he will say that i chased him again. Thanks, its just the drawing, looking forward to the installation. Finally the woodland one appear, the one that Mr K mentioned before. Overheard from K that your renovation just completed the lightings? My hacking started in October. Yours should be few steps in front of mine. Your reno seems pretty much completes. I though it have been completed already.
-
Really appreciate your advises. Will start to dig out the rain shower we purchase and place it in the bathroom so Mr K will know and install at his own time. Mr. K overall work is still good, i guess if it was other ID or contractor i will have even more huge issues. Mr K mentioned that some did not change lock and he remind and they quickly change right away.

Day 57 Drawings from Carpenter Ah Zhuan

Thats pretty good, luckily did not take Mr K to do up your reno. He is really busy nowadays. I wonder mine does it, as i have no idea when the plumber is coming etc. Have to bug Mr K on when the plumber, carpenter and the list goes on . . on when there are coming. Hi klimoo~ Thanks for directing to your blog as have no idea it was done up by Mr K. But your reno progression seems fast. How long did he takes? He usually mentioned the complains by places. x= Does your BTO happens to be in Woodland or BoonLay? These are the other 2 he have mentioned but have yet to see them appear on renotalk. Thanks tangie for advising~ i did msg him last night about the date but he did not reply. Did not want to bug him today about the date i texted him. Getting a little too hardhearted to check updates from him. The carpenter mentioned it will take about 3weeks - 1 month to install the carpentry works and plumber can only come after carpentry how about painting and the rest. OMG Mr K dint complaint about yours but we did mentioned about the lights that was hitting the waredrobe door. There's a few things Mr. K mentioned but its abit here and there and everywhere. Mr K told us, we did not see him does not mean he did not go down to our places. Agree that its important to find someone who and commit time for the renovation!

Hi Kelhy! We bought the Brandy Lounge Chair at $799. It comes with that orange, blue and red. Those are all cashmere material as per according to them. I guess i knew who, there is only 2 staff in hommage, they are not hard up for sales maybe thats why they give off the attitude that they do not necessary need us to commit to their furniture. Totally agree with you that there is nothing much in the showroom but we went there to see the barbarra chair aka brandy chair and found another sofa which happens to be what we were looking for at a okay price. Initially did not want to commit to the dining table but were lazy to go back to star living for the dining table, furthermore the dining table at hommage is not too expensive thus we went for them. Thanks tangie! Glad that we are not alone. I guess we had similiar situations. Mr K did not promised when it will be ready but mentioned it will be in mid jan before chinese new year. we just check and need to move in on 12th Jan, so we are not sure how to go about it. The final wiring is the electricity pulling beneath the cabinets and console, those needs to pull wire for the final time. Am shopping for house deco already but afraid we might buy too much so we bought little by little and start buying more when we move in and see what we need and lacks. I'm wondering, for those drilling and fixing, Mr K's worker will fix for us but which worker will be doing it? Carpentry? I chased Mr K for the lamitak booklet as initially i asked Mr K for formica but he gave us lamitak and says formica's designs are old fashion. We have to ask from the carpenter himself for the samples, Mr K did not give it to us. I did asked about whether yours might be lamitak as we wants to look at the waredrobe laminate and was told that yours might not be lamitak but could check with K if you could have picked any lamitak samples. We have some hiccups here and there as well, hubby says that if its other ID, situation will be even worst. I guess we have caught Mr K at the wrong time for reno due to his peak period.

Day 56 Mr K just came back from his holiday trip on Tuesday night. Call him up yesterday and was told that he will drop by our place today. Mr K was busy clearing paperwork yesterday. This morning called Mr K again and he say he have yet to drop by our place and will do so in the afternoon. He kept emphasising that he do not even have time to go toilet and been busy the whole day. Finally he went up and see that things are okay. Gave him a call in the afternoon to see hows the outcome after dropping by. He mentioned everything was okay, reminded him that Carpenter was going to give me drawing on Monday but did not. Mr K mentioned that he will forward me the drawing. Then was awaiting for his direction on the next move as our HERF have yet to lay or arrange for a time slot and mentioned to him that the false ceiling guy made alot of putty art on the flooring. In return, Mr K shoot us that we chased him to get false ceiling done before clearing. Understood that Mr K was super busy at this period thus we tried to make it easy for him by helping him to co-ordinate but end up Alot of things have to await for his directions so that we could proceed, if false ceiling and box up is not done we could not carry on with the aircon so on and so forth... :angry: And were really concern if reno could be completed by Chinese New year, furthermore before Chinese new year, needs to get our things move over to the new house from our old house. If handover is 1 week before Chinese New Year, we will only left with a week to move over to our new house. :angry: :angry: Carpentry needed 2.5 weeks and carpentry measurement could only come in after false ceiling are done, the later carpentry is being measured, the later carpentry moves in and affecting the moving date as well, so on and so forth. :angry: :angry: To-Do-List 1. Shower screen 2. Service yard window 3. 1st round chemical cleaning 4. HERF Laying (BY Evorich) 5. tiling touch up as the chemical wash will definately wash out the grouting for the tiles. 6. Water pipes 7. Carpentry 8. Final Wiring for electricity beneath the cabinets and console 9. Final painting 10. Final Chemical Wash 11. Touch up if any (Upon approval on the amount of touch up needed and the extensive touch up required) 1 month left to handover.

Comparing to the almost same sofa from star living and Hommange. Star Living : Cheaper Hommage : More comfortable and worth the money As Eric was explaining to us how sofa are usually 5 legs for more support but this sofa from hommage uses 4 legs and still could provide 5 years warrenty. Further more, we test and find that the sofa from Hommage is more cushion-ie, have the bouncing feel while star living sofa feels more harder and not so cushion-ie Fabric material wise, Hommage feels and looks are of better quality compare to Hommage.

Day 54 Aircon Installation Day Bedroom 3: Bedroom 2 : MBR : Living Room :

Though they have their own principles, seldom felt safer that way that we wont be easily chopped. After we paid the deposit then remember to do up research on Hommage. Luckily all reviews on renotalk were good review. The non removable cover is really a draw back for us too but we somehow overcome it. Anyway to replace the cover will take a few hundred.

Hi!! thanks for dropping by. For Fanco F2 Ceiling Fan we bought it at $390 nett with remote inclusive from Eric mentioned on Renotalk, could contact Eric at salecfan@yahoo.com.sg Was surprise that F2 Ceiling Fan does not create much shadow on the walls except when using cove lighting.
-
Thanks so much for sharing the link~ After reading your link eventually we purchased from hommage and settled with them. Din't go for Lush Lush or Grafunkt. Yes, the price tag says $1150 for 2 seater but sad to say there is no discount, they would not budge, tried to ask for free cushions after purchasing 3 items from them but still no. The seat cover cannot be removed nor wash, have to be vacuum. Have to clean from the exterior using wet cloth or dry cloth. But this sofa have 5 years warrenty~ Usually only 1 year.
-
Update Continues Lighting 90% Completes 10% left when carpentry cabinets are here. F2 Fanco fans were used for the rooms and were surprise that there not no or not much shadow casted on the wall except when cove light are switch on. 2 walls will reflect shadow on 2 side of the wall.

Day 53 Purchasing of Furniture Went to hommage furniture located at No. 40 Jalan Pemimpin Tat Ann Building, #03-02 and was serve by Charles and Eric, they were not pushy and they are definitely knowledgeable in sofa and mattress. We were the last customer and they took time to explain till 1.5hr pass the closing time. They hardly budge or rather do not budge on their pricing unlike certain stores. After purchasing from them we did a quick googling on them. True enough their feedback were nothing but just good review and satisfy customers. Glad that we have purchase from them and have paid full payment using CC as paying deposit will only allow deposit to be made in CC but balance to be in cash or cheque. Thanks to juxstapose that we have found a great place to purchase our furniture. We were planning to roam around more furniture shops to do more research but decided that we were too tired and decided to just purchase from hommage furniture We bought a 2.5 seater sofa with the same designa as below : Image is a 2 seater sofa Image is a 3 seater sofa : Hommage boast about the material used for this sofa to be exclusive for the sofa supplier : Material Used : Similair Barbarra or Brandy Lounge Chair : And a 1.5m Dining Table. 3 things off the To-Buy-List

Scandi Home 4 Room Bto
plainsharon replied to g0mug0mu's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - HDB BTO Interior Design and Renovation
Hi~ Welcome to renotalk~ Since you are considering Scandi and smaller scale reno why not try looking for contractor? theitsybit's Casa home was a huge inspiration for my renovation thats why i went to look for Mr. K for my own renovation. Most of Mr. K's work are more towards scandi too. -
Thanks for advising. Greenish tarnish? Something like algae stuck on piping? will it be slimy over time?
