  1. Hey Rover, thanks for the excellent suggestion. Btw, no problem with hacking away most of the wall, as the previous owner has already done so. But I am left with one pillar, that's all. My ID mentioned can 'play' with the pillar. We discussed and agreed maybe can find an interesting piece of wall paper to 'wrap' it and I might dress it up further with a montage of photos encased in frames of different colours, shapes and sizes. The feature pillar (as opposed to wall) would hit anyone in the face the moment you stand at the main door. I am not quite keen on shelves at this point, as I don't want it to add any more width or depth the the pillar as it is.
  2. You are right, Rover. Good thing zer0sg's unit can clear the whole wall.
  3. Yah, I agree with sfk7. As it is, it is very difficult to find a unit in the location and floor that you want. And when you do find it, it might not be ideal in terms of layout or beam restrictions. Ultimately, my way of looking at it is to find a home that you can live with (not necessarily ideal), and then plan the space and design around it. Resale public housing is like that, a lot of restrictions and drawbacks with its design. As regards the style, I would single out a few styles that appeal to me, get as many pictures and ideas on those styles. Otherwise, too many to consider, very confusing, and worse, mix and match and they might come out looking very sala.
  4. Rover, wouldn't the TV be too close for comfort?
  5. So lucky, you don't have a vertical support beam in your way. Mine has. Otherwise my living area would be even more open.
  6. Thanks, Rover. I can't wait too. Excited yet apprehensive. Heard so many horror stories about contractors and irresponsible IDs.
  7. Since I am a swinging bachelor, and I don't need the second room, I decided to tear the room wall down to create an extended living area, and re-configure my living space to exploit the longish shape of the layout. As 3Is do not have a storeroom, I also need to create lots of storage space. The highlighted portions will be my light boxes while the TV area will be nice and long without my having to sit too close to the HD TV. -Floors will be laminated strips throughout. -Homogenous tiles in the kitchen. -L-shaped pole system wardrobe to maximise space. -Wall between the toilet and bathroom is been torn down by the current owner, so I will keep that.
  8. My flat's layout is your typical 3 room HDB layout. Only one toilet and one bathroom.
  9. Recently bought a 3 Room HDB resale flat (3I modified). Given the state of prices of public housing in Singapore, I figured if I'm gonna pay through my nose, I might as well go all the way and get something in the heart of the city, where I can enjoy the pulse of city living, and spare myself the daily commute on our 'world-class' public transport system. Excitement mounts as the completion date approaches. Spent past 2 months looking for an ID, flipping through home decor magazines and shopping around for suitable household items for the new home. Contrary to advice from many renotalk bloggers, my search for an ID has been relatively painless (at least up till now). Walked into IMM, looked at all the shop facades, chose one that isn't too high-class looking, and settled for an ID who looks the most earnest and eager. Frankly, if he/she can do the work, it doesn't matter if he's got good PR skills. Prefer someone who doesn't try to smoke me.
