  1. Changed my image hosting service. Used to be imageshack but realized that photobucket is so much easier! update Some consideration for my lighting in my house. Not cheap wor the lighting compared to 5 years ago...... For my service yard area For my living room. This is the most expensive. Any one got cheaper alternative? any website to recommend to bring in? For my walk in wardrobe area For my ktchen. Deciding between this &tradition SR1/SR2.

Oh got myself this today thanks to my sis who bought in from overseas... WIll be asking my dad to install after we select our main door. Now what color to choose for my main door?
  3. update The hacking job is completed and tiles are ready to be laid. Took a picture of the ruin of my place before the tile laying start.

Waiting for town council to come and clear the old sofa left behing by seller Entrance of living room Dining area.

  4. Sound is personal preference. To me it is better than the normal soundbar from home appliance brand like samsung/pioneer/sony which i intend to get earlier on. Initially i wanted to build my own HT, getting a bookshelf speaker, amp and receiver but i know myself. I will surely kena poisoned and spend deep deep. Hence the focal little bird to strike a balance. I like the small and compactness that little bird can offer. The sub is actually built into the amplifier hence there will not be any bulky sub at the tv console area. It can play from a lot of receiver like cd/dvd/bluray player and also can accept game console. Best part is comes with itransmitter that can be plugged into iphone/ipad and play lossless audio over the air within 10m radius!

  12. Well you guess it rennotalk forum!! Yes I am initially appalled by the massive information that are available in this forum. I am just a casual reader that will login to check on and off for some deals and ideas. With the t blog that is availiable, I decided just to look at all the nice and inmovative design that all the people here have posted. It really helps me a lot and I totally skip all the other thread all together. With one of the brother blog in this thread, I saw a **** nice design that I fell in love with at first sight! Hence I decided to call the contractor for a quote and am impressed with the promptness that he rendered. He always seem to be accommodate to my timing for meeting up always with my last minute changes in timing (which is after office hour). Upon the first meetup, I throw him all the ideas that I have in mind and of course he offered me some new ideas for my consideration. The best part, all the 3 items that my previous contractor cannot fulfill, he is the one that can actually fulfill them. Now one of the item is a feature wall that I have gotten the idea from Bangkok. I have asked around and most of the contractors are unable to do it. Even those who can do it, their response is always a yes immediately, which I have doubt in. What impressed me is this contractor bothered to think and think really hard ( well at least that what I've perceived) before saying yes. Finger cross now to see if they can really deliver. My Reno have started since Monday with the hacking works first. Will post the pic tomorrow. Time for bed....
  13. Since we decided to design our own concept, we decided to design ourselves and engage a contractor to help us do the job. So sorry there is no drawing based on our concept at the moment. We have recently just finalized our design and is on our journey to engage a contractor. First up is a contractor that is recommend by friend. Call him up and make an appointment to do site survey for quotation. Generally the visit went quite well and gotten a budgetary quote from him. Only setback are that there is 3 items that he cannot do it for us and ask us to engage someone to do the job. Although the 3 items are quite generic and common in most of the renovation, i have a hard time getting quote for them. I have to send the design s on what i want to my friends and ask them to ask around also. If not for those companies that i have found online are too busy to help me do them, until......
  14. After just coming back from Melbourne, was inspired to create a reno design based on cottage style after visiting Mt Dondenang and Phillip island. Got a couple of their House and Garden magazine and collected some idea but decided against it as their idea is mainly for big house and their climate doesn't suit us as well. Well I saw a t-blog which is based on cottage style before but I think it is kinda hard for us to maintain. To create that kind of effect we have to use a lot of small ornaments which will collect dust if we never clean regularly. Yes we are the lazy kind. We are thinking along the line of rustic for living room, lush for MBR and raw industrial for kitchen but yet to finalize design because we need to if they can match all together.... Exploring idea for reno idea For living room

  16. Some history to begin with... After staying in Pasir Ris for 5 years, we decided to move nearer to city fringe area. Put our place for sale and in just a week, we sold our former place. That was fast and initially just thought that if no buyer then just carried on staying there. Feel a abit reluctant at first but thinking of moving nearer to town just feel excited. Well that was in April. Next up is to shortlist area. Basically we are looking at somewhere along old airport road and kallang area. Viewed a few around these area and compare price with some owner asking for 30 - 70k cov. After viewing a friend's place in a area we never considered in the first place we are awed by the layout the HBD have and with the renovation they have done simply open our option for the shortlisted area. A check with propertyguru return 2 results. Arranged to view these 2 units (coincidentally they are just 1 floor above one and other). Preferred the lower floor unit and negotiate for COV. Seller said yes and we seal the deal. In a blink of eye, first appointment and 2nd appointment with HDB gone past and we finally got our key in August!! Now need to think of idea for reno and engage contractor..... Here our layout: Pics of existing layout before demolishing Night view from living room. Sorry for the blur image..
