Nice to see everything moving nicely along..

oonik girl..welcome one more time.. congrats on getting your nre place and starting on the reno journey..u will enjoy it.. post more picture for us..have fun..cheers..

Storeberry.. very strong colour selection..nice.. your red sofa match very nicely with your chanderlia..very classy feel.. happy for you..

Xinyi.. your wardrobe very nicely done.. paint and colours combination also excellent..esp like the lighting effects..congrats..

Jiyz..Congrats..Reno finally complete and must say very well done..Really like the whole look and cosy feel for the place..I sure both of u will be very happy here ..congrats again.. Now can relex abit and enjoy the house..

Apple..congrats..Patrick well recommended here and should not be a problem.. Is he doing all the work.?. I find the quotes you posted earlier on the high side and not reliable i.e have to pay to apply for permit..This should be free..

i vote for balcony for a more practical reason.. got place to hang clothes out to dry.. cannot stand handing out of the house..

FSP.. ID actually proposed for light blue tint but wife is against it.. so will maintain the natural colour and will mtach with the white power coated bi-ford toilet and shower door which will also have the same colour acrylic.. my preference is to go for the blue tint but sometime must give way as she agreeded to getting this door instead of the classic door..

Some update on the reno... Wet work all done but found some mistake..The guy got the measurement wrong for the washing machine and fridge base and will be redoing it.. Washing Machine Base.. Dryer will be stack on top. Fridge Base.. The gap between the base and the wall is for the kitchen sliding door.. Rubbish Bin installed..will be covered up by carpentry.. Plastering for whole unit completed and now, all the walls are nice and smooth.. Aircon trunking also completed.. Electrical work should be done by today..no time to check.. Tomorrow - False ceiling, light box, follow by painting...

Hi Ah Kiat.. U got from the same place?

Have finally selected the colours for the painting work starting this week.. will be using ICI Dulex Living Room - Silvermink + SailWhite Dining Room - Sail White MBR - Mocha Delight + Monsoon River (Earth tone colour) Girl1 Bedroom - Pecan Brone + SailWhite (Earth tone) Girl2 Bedroom - Pastol Pistachio + Sailwhite (Green tone) No more pink tone for the girls rooms as will follow FSM advise..Will replace with pink accessories etc. Also confirmed that all my carpentry will be using glossy white liminate i.e, wardrobe in all the bedrooms, study table in the girl rooms, Display and storage cabinet in dining room, TV console, Shoe cabinet and kitchen cabinets. As the kitchen floor tile is black and wall tile is grey, wife felt that the tone is too dark and as such, decided to change the colour for the kitchen cabinet glass back splash from Black to Persimmon Berry (Orange).. I think this colour will contrast very nicely with the white cabinet and add a dash of colour to the kitchen.. Hope I'm right.. Also selected the 3 x bedroom doors.. damage - another $1k+ Will be in white with double frosted tempered glass Really like this door as compared to the normal classic door although it will be cheaper...

Went light hunting over the weekend by myself as wife not free and got ... . Lesson learnt - don't go shopping without wife... However, not a big problem as ID Kelvin to the rescue... managed to resolved and cancelled the order for 3 x bedrooms, 2 x kitchens and 1 x crystal dining light.. Thanks to Shawn from Litevault who is both helpful and accomdating... Only managed to confirm the following: PLC for living room, foyer to bedrooms and kitchen Halogen for the display cabinet, feature wall and bedrooms Milo Tin light for Toilet (small one on the left) and Shower (big one on the right)..Both will be in white Total damage - about $1k... now to search for the bedroom, dining and kitchen lights..

Hi Thanks... not much time and energy to search and so will have to make do at the standard lights shop.. money always going out but coming in slowly.. Singapore Pool also very stingy...hahaha

Hi.. not recommended unless u have lots of time and can control the workers..i.e. willing to be bad guy, shout a bit and sayang them at other time.. u may want to chase some of those contractor or id to revert..I did it beforre for me previous place and a real headache coordinating the work and timing for the different parties.. all the best...

very nicely done.. simple and good solution...

Thanks MaCe.. will check it out.. hopefully can find..

Check thru most before i purchase..down to Rinnai or Cuizano..ended with Rinnai as the hob use inner flame and more efficient use of gas and heat tansfer = saving and faster cooking time.. This is the model that i bought. Cheapest in Poh Joo.. RB2CG - Ceran Glass - Make in Japan RH90CD - High Suction at 925+/hr but more ex than cuizano..

FSP..will wear sunglass..hopefully will help..hahah...what u say very true..first thing u see is the light..already spend on the electrical and will be a real let down if the lights not right.. but then $$$$ must go out..so no expensive lighting..I think must search hard for suitable one at the right price.. also easier said that done..as u said, will be very tempted once you see so...let's hope for the best... will update again.. MaCe...where to buy cheap and nice?

According to Kelvin, the office in IMM still running for another few month till the Building Management confirm the unit allocation.. If all go well, they will have 2 office, one in IMM and the Other in FM (Beach road)..

No i did not so not sure of cost but so not be high.. a friend of mine did for his living and kitchen floor.. very smooth and cooling..

Hey Ken, if u r thinking of screeding over tile for the toilet, no need to paint as the contactor can mix in the colour before sceeding.. For spray paint over tiles, not recommended for floor tile and toilet bowls/basin..

Hoprefully not..yours $6K+..must control me wife on the selection... must try to find nice and not to ex type..lucky she not into crystal type lighting..

Not bad what..can watch free football match...
