Hi howly, Your wardrobe & kitchen drawer organisers look great! Appreciate if you could PM me the shop details too. Or anyone has the contacts, can pmed to me. Thanks in advance!!

Finally some updates photos by my ID on the war zone area! Wow! So much sands being use

Hi May_dream1, I wanted to thanks you for introducing your contractors but not fated to use him because he do dammed busy lor. So I have to move on

Huh? Sorry, I had no ideas of that.

Wow, yours start already. That was fast! Mine next week will be tiling so not much to update. I did not request for any 3D drawing as my request are pretty straight forward. If one who can visualise actually can do without the 3D drawings, the good things is can ask for discount!

Looking forward to see the pixs

Good! He always said that he treats every projects like his own home.

My colour scheme are boring and safe. Is going to be black, grey and white. I have chosen my lamination for all the carpentry. So forgotful of me, I had forgotten to take the pixs...but luckily from jolene23's thread, I found the pixs of the lamination that i intended to use. I will be using Ivory brush (White), Periwinkle-B (Grey) and Nigeria-B (Black). I need an advise. Has anyone use the above lamination for kitchen cabinets? Is it easy to maintain? Thanks

The hacking start today. According to the ID, the renovation will drag till mid-March. As CNY is in Feb, lack of workers

thanks. will try to upload more pixs

My is 5mins walks from MRT.Is that Bishan East? The renovation start today Hope to see yours soon.

Hi, Congrats! Welcome! I'm also at Bishan. Exactly same layout but in reverse.

Hi Wow, you are daring in exploring colors! Nice. I saw your kitchen floor tiles. Is something that I like too. Do you know is it easy to maintain?

Hi Personally , I feel if you have not signed the dotted line you could take your time to make the selection. But congrates on finalising your ID. Looking forward to your renovation pixs.

Are you doing major renovation? My is without doing both toilets, no false ceiling and cove lightings etc. It is quite basic and simple la. I received a quotation that is 40K. Looking forward to your renovation process

Hi Good luck for your searching.

Hi, Oh yes, I have not reveal who is my selected ID? I think some of you might have guessed. Well, is Nic from RenoGuyZ. Nexer and Norman, we have the same ID! Mmmm why I have chosen him out of so many from the listing? As I mentioned before, my renovation is simple and basic, what he had quoted are consider reasonable and he is willing to give in and take to my request. thumps up!! There are some quotes which I had received are lower than him but I think the most important thing is whether you can click with your ID/contractors. Spending such a BIG $$ to invest on it so I must feel comfortable, rite?.

My renovation will start once HDB approval for the hacking. My ID had submitted the request, so pending lor! My budget range from 27K-35K. Hopefully I can stick to it. Because sometimes I can be frickle-minded which I know is no good. Luckily, my ID is a patient person.

Thanks Rover

Thanks Hafiizh, I will try to upload more pictures!

Sorry, had to ask a stupid question as I'm quite new using this forum..How to upload pictures in the forum? I only manage to do it using photobucket. Thanks

Trying to upload some picture of the flat before the renovation start. Hopefully I'm doing correctly. http://s1281.beta.photobucket.com/user/blue7713/media/MasterRoom_zps78500cac.jpg.html Anyway, I will not be doing both toliets, main gate & main doors as about a years plus, government had upgraded the units so save $$ I will keep the revonation as simple as possible, like not doing any false ceiling. Would love to have ceiling fan but ceiling height is too low for me

Thanks. I have been following your threads so far. Everything seem to be quite smoothly

thanks so much!

Hi, Been a silent reader of Renotalk and finally is my payback time..Apologies of my very poor writing skills or worse spelling mistakes. Hopefully you know what I meant. Firstly I like to give a BIG thanks for all the advise, guides provided by the seniors, brothers and sisters. I bought my resale 3 room flat about 7 years ago. I didnt have the chance to stay in the flat...why le? Anyway you would not want to hear grandmother's story...so to cut short, I had finally decided to renovate my flat this year. I suppose mostly all the layout of the 3 room flats are quite similar. Here is the link to my floor plan. http://s1281.beta.photobucket.com/user/blue7713/media/FloorPlan_zps088bae5c.jpg.html So..now what is my concept/design for my flat? Wow, seen all the great ideas and DIY all of you did up for your flat and keep wondering what I want? Due to budget constraints, I will just have a simple renovation and easy to maintain (just too lazy) For the past few months, I had slowly taking my own sweet time to source for ID and contractors. Mostly are recommended from Renotalk as I have no clue who to engage. Is actually a very, very tiring process and keep repeating myself. So thinking alamak, why not put on recorders and play for them These are the lists of ID and contractors that I have got quotes from. Some claimed to be an ID which I really don't think so. I'm not contemning anyone as this is my own experience. 1. 3D Innovation (Price mid-range but no great ideas from this ID) 2. A Home Story (Price too high, W** had claim will work towards my budget but in the end never come back! Who said only ID time is precious?! My time is also precious, ok?!) 3. DX Interior (Short-listed but find him too quiet, afraid no clicks?) 4. ID Note (A new designer who given me quotes but I find her inexperience and though the boss said he will oversee but I had no confidence, so had to drop off) 5. Idea House (No input from S**, just take your words. So disappointed) 6. Inside Living (Designer are not willing to work towards my given budget, so drop off) 7. Summit (A nice chap and willing to work in my budget, quotes promised given in 3 days, shortlisted) 8. IR Design (No news from him, so move on) 9. Unimax (Provided suggestion of layout together with quotes, but quotes sky high!) 10. RenoGuyZ (A nice simple chap and willing to work within budget given, shortlisted) 11. United Team Lifestyle (No news, maybe my budget too low. Do not want to do my business) 12. Vangard (Took quite some time to get back on the quotes, so don't like) 13. DeFong (After one phone call and seen my budget never gets back) 14. D'Trenzo (Price high) Stories to be continued....
