hubby & I went to xclusive at jurong branch too. But that was in June(house not yet collect key). As they are the first shop among the 4 shops there, we went in. Hubby was bz looking and testing on the furniture, while I was bz chatting with the pretty msian sale gal. Apparently the first thing that caught our eyes is a queen bed frame, with crystal. I fall in love with it IMMEDIATELY. Hubby knew that I would insist that I want that, he just keep numb. So after we see see look look, our damage include L-shape sofa, 1 dinning table, 1 bench + 4 chairs, 1 coffee table, 1 bed frame & 1 queen size mattress. Hubby's bargain skill is definately good. I shalln't disclosed how much he bargain, but he can bargain to the stage that Mr Eric(a handsome looking and strong built guy, ohya, I think he's the boss) come out to talk abt the price. I shall not say much abt the service, 50% pushy but not to the stage that u wan to give them a tight slap. However, we notice that the L-shape sofa is too big, so the next time(we live in jurong too), we went back thinking can ask for refund, but cannot, so choose a 3+2 sofa(a bit big), but bo bian... Hubby bargain skill come back again, the price for these 2 items has some difference. So we insist that we want a floor rug. But after a long bargain with Mr Eric, we finally secured it with a top up of a minimal fee. Mr Eric still explain to us how much he profit from this sales. Haha... funny guy right. I'm expecting their products to be delivered to me on 3 Nov. Hopefully the products are in tip top condition. Shall upload the picture in later date. But 1 good lesson we learnt from this trip, bring your floor plan!

your bed set look pretty nice, where you bought it? Can fit in 12 inch(height) bed?

Finally figure out how to upload the pic. My floor plan **** small right. I was shock when I see my house, at least 20% smaller than my parent's house. Nvm, bear with it. Smaller mean nothing much to clean. As for my 3D drawing, I'm quite a flicked minded "aunty". Except for the kitchen, the rest are all revised copy. Living room feature cabinet changed 3 to 4 times. Lucky Mr L is quite nice, nv complain at all. The reason why I wan such a big storage area is bcuz the house is freaking small, I'm used to those big rooms where I dump my things. However, this cabinet are solely for princess and her future sibling. Their toys are intended to store in there, no usage for my storeroom, scare she trap inside and nobody knows. How I wish my master room is bigger, so that I can have a WIW as many forumer have. But I have to bear with it. This mean that I should stop buying clothes(isn't it a torture to me?). But for the sake of princess, I have to endure. I guess woman do change once they have kid. B4 the arrival of princess, I'm a selfish lady who care only myself. Now, everything aso must think of princess. My hubby and I even had a home rule, "Tiffany first", which mean everything must thought of princess. went to franc franc at jcube yday. Some items are having 60% discount. Bought 1 water jug & 2 red mugs. Total spent was $15.60. I like the mug v.much, but not sure if hubby like it, so bought 2. If he dun like, I wun feel much heart pain, cuz not much damage. But hubby comment that he dun like to drink with mug. Mugs are meant for coffee and tea. The next thing I thought, doesn't MIC like to drink tea? He's a weird MIC. haha... Hubby went down to have a site review yday, but was locked outside, due to the titling work in the living room. Hubby mention that they seem to be working hard on our project, much job been carry out. So hopefully can finish on the expected week.

and888, I will try to upload my 3D drawings after I figure out how to upload it. Hubby drove me up from my work place to Casa to take a look at the renovation. At last, my house isn't that empty. Suddenly have this crazy idea in my mind today. I want to lay my first tile for my house, or at least the mbr. Msg Mr L and he comment that my tiles are too heavy for me to carry. I feel that my idea is somewhat stupid, but stupid ppl have stupid ikeas Despite paying such a heavenly price on the flat(thought it might be somehow good in design), there is something really bothering me. My bed windows are so high. I have no idea what I am suppose to do with it? Can anyone living in Casa tell me what you are have create/do to that bed window. Dun think that hacking can be done. There is something I dun like too, the common toilet. A bit not three not four. But as I mention to Mr L during the house inspection, he actually told me that all the partition and doors cost around $700 and ask me whether I wan to throw away that $700. Hubby gave a NO answer to him, but... I really dun like the design at all. The next thing I told him is I wan install a door at the common toilet, facing the common room. But Mr L say it's not practical. So hubby agreed on him. Hubby aso say he doesn't want to spend on those unnesscary things. The fact that we trust on Mr L so much is that he will reason/tell us what is "need" and what is "want". Most of the time we want this, but it's not something that it will kill us if we dun have it. But I have not seem Mr L's work before. Hope it turn out too. Also, anyone who has a good curtain-marker can intro to us? I saw on renotalk about Mr Chew, but not sure if the pricing is okay. Do let me know if you have any good marker to recommand!

and888, I didn't managed to huat, I guess not even a single no turn out Anyway, today is the start of my renovation. Hubby is with Mr L at Casa since morning. Mr L even give hubby a call last night(10.30pm) to remind him on the site visit today. But till now, no news from him. So, I have to wait....... cuz my boss dun let me take leave Unlike most house that goes for simple color, mine is quite daring. 70% of my house was painted purple, living room is using bright orange and yellow as theme. Mr L even mention that my living room 3D's drawing is his most daring piece of work. Hubby would like to have a bright living room and I prefer a dim master bedroom. 2 common room has only painting work, 1 reason is that princess will be sleeping in with us till she's slightly older. Carpentry work for kitchen is using red and black lamination. So my house is rather "colourful", no special theme. So I shall hope there's no hit up in my reno

Hey, I'm at 420. I didn't start doing my research earlier, so the design is not as unique as yours. My reno cost is around $22k.

Hi, has been reading renotalk for quite a while, 2 months plus and now it's time for me to contribute. It might be long and naggy(my english aren't that good) Well... hubby & I decide to try on SEP'11 Balance of Sales after he got his PR. Felt like kana jackpot when I received the email stating we got a slot to choose for Casa Clementi. At that time, my parents gave their dismay, thinking that 450k for a HDB flat is too much(theirs's merely 65K). But we bo chap, since we wanted to settle down. Another surprise came, I was pregnant with my princess. We are full of joy, next was our wedding on 20Nov2011. I couldn't believed that I was so lucky! But lucky things don't last long. I was asked to left my job. So bo bian, have to rest at home. Anyway, enough of my crap... Was informed by HDB that my key is ready for collection in May. But due to the some reason, we have to postpone the key collection till end Aug and finally we offically collected our keys on 7 Sep 2012, 11.10am. Well, we didn't do much research on our house like some others do. Hubby like to go straight to details. So, hubby was the one doing begining research on our ID. In all, we only got 3 quotes from 3 different ID. One was 1 of the leaflet at my flat, the others was my friend's friend and finally the third was my hubby's colleauge intended's ID(Miss A). Hubby's colleauge was planning to do her reno too, so recommanded us . So in the end, we decided to go with Mr L(a ID in Jurong East, not IMM). Able to communicate and the price matters most(we r running of low budget). The contract came within 1 week and after 2 - 3 wks discussion, we sign with Mr L, Miss A sign with him too. So enough of blah-ing... I'm starting my reno offically TML! Hubby will be there, but not me I will update more as the days passes by. Btw, tonight TOTO quite big winning, let's HUAT ah!

Hi theitsybits, Just got my keys a few days back and is starting my reno tml. We have the same floor plan but at different block. Really like your house design n envy that you got the money to spend so much on it!
