piknik

Thank you May_dream1, cjred, wendily86, nellynut, NeoBy, and iamnorah. Hopefully we will cruise through this first renovation experience in one piece. We keep discussing about our budget and when we could add in a bit more money, don't know why we burst the new budget again after listing down essential items.. It's like we always find things to get for the flat!! And those are not even for decoration purpose!! Weird!!!! These are what we plan to do for our first home. Theme: don't know! Colour theme: wooden brown/ sunny yellow/ white. Living room: just a storage platform @ the window area, to utilize the full height window. Kitchen: using idea from a punggol spring t-blog, as it's the best way to make the kitchen look spacious, to my husband's opinion. we love the white n yellow kitchen in the reference image. Master bedroom: pls forgive my ugly finger drawing. Again, storage platform. Idea for bathroom as of now: Yet to know what we want to do with the master bedroom toilet. The vanity is just too ugly for my husband. We plan to leave the walls white, all doors painted white. No false ceiling or Lbox. Welcome any suggestion. Thank you.

No Money Still Wanna Do Reno. Our inspiration / money saving plan to house deco: We will try to DYI our own jokes on to our walls.

No Money Still Wanna Do Reno. __________________________ We actually wanted to see if the human race still exists after 21-12-2012, before we buy a flat and have a kid. But parents wanted grandchildren asap, as dad's health wasn't good at all at that time. So we felt pressured enough to want to buy a flat first, then have a kid. We looked for a re-sale flat near our parents' place. Prices are like M-A-D. Bc it's hot property area. So we entered the Sale of Balance Flat 2010 just to try our luck, while looking out for new BTO projects... Thought we would fail for sure. Somehow, I got pregnant!!! Oh God, so fast!!! Panic attacked!!! Then, somehow, thank God, we got a 100/+ queue number. Relieved a bit. We actual chose Breeze just bc HdB said it would only be ready by August 2013. That will give us more time in order to prepare the CaSH for the flat n renovation, as well as to enjoy freedom, hahaha... (cos dad's health got better after surgery). But the flat is soon to be ready by Jan 2012! We manage to work out the cash part, since we opt for a lowest loan amount possible. But renovation budget is a problem... We thought we could just stay at our current place first, until we are better in financial situation. But our baby really need a healthy space for her development. Right now, just too crowded, many threats of bad influence. And for us, really no privacy. So, no choice, we would have to move to our new flat as soon as possible. Hence, our title: no money still wanna do renovation. ------- Thank you for reading this... ------ Floor plan:

My opinion regarding your domestic kitchen war is that: whoever does the cooking in the kitchen has the final say. This is if you or your husband is the only person in the family spending time in the kitchen the most. I would do all the food preparation, cooking n cleaning myself in the kitchen so I decide which goes where, only consult husband technical stuff like electrical stuff. The golden triangle rule is good to know. But if you work systemetically in the kitchen, like taking all the things that needed for a meal from the fridge out to the preparation area next to the sink, then you might ignore the rule. I think to cook @ the island then serve the food immediately to hungry souls right in front of you will be a good experience. Like you are in a teppanyaki restaurant. If have space, should really make this island a dining table as well..

The wall @ dining area screams for some decoration. A big mirror? Or a wall-sticker/ wallpaper..

Is there any kid gonna sleep on the upper bed? It's dangerously close to the baby fan.

Merry Christmas! And Happy New Year! Thanks for the tip. Will check our flat carefully when we receive the keys. But a bit disappointed wig Hdb that it will comes with defects, since it seems like everyone else has it. Is your lovely chair comfortable to seat on? Hubby n I want to have different design of chair for the dining table so it's "different". Hahhaha. Don't like the uniform look at all.

I love the green view from your living room window. Very soothing to the eyes. The chocolate/ latte color mix with White n lots of mirror result in a very pleasant look. Calming. Cozy. A peaceful nest. How was your renovation experience? Not 7 months long right? care to share if you are using iD or contractor?

Really nice.., is there any light below the kitchen top cabinet?

Wah..... Nice n bright. So have u found a contractor or ID? Will follow this thread closely.

6pm already.. Anything happens?

Thank u.. Will contact u thru Hp.

me breezer too... But haven't got our key..

Just read this story from Fb punggol breeze group.. Scary..

Hallo.. I like the warm lighting. Really good result. So you highly recommend 9Lives? I still want a chance to visit your place.

Nice living room.. Please show us more pictures of your House final look.

AhW fast n furious. I didn't like the storage idea at first. But observing families with kids, I have to say, platform with storage will save us later on. Less space clutter, less furniture, . But I like systemind platform only. Hahaha.....

I read that ur flat has lots of defect,... Is it really bad? How to spot them?

So roughly all these will cost you $25-30k? I like the hot-pink shoe cabinet . Is it with polka dot pattern? You will really change the toilet sink? I want to as well, just dread the process of buying/choosing a sink... Haiz.... Since u have platform for ur bedroom, do u make it a storage solution as well? It would be handy if u have/will have children.

happy ID searching! Hope you all the best, my punggol friend. Seem like there will be more punggol t-blogs here soon.

Your place looks good. Nice black colour n the glass panel walls.

Oh, congratulation on moving in to your new home. One journey ends, another will start.. Do write review abt your suppliers n contractors. I am really looking toward to this part, as soon I will have a "budget, budget, budget,... Super budgeted reno".

U already knew who would do "business" when one was having a shower. It's definitely the one who created this designed floor plan.

Yes, pls reveal ur flat location. Look very interesting for the floorplan. Hahah. And the MBR vanity sink is super ugly ..

Wish u a smooth reno.
