Hi ArielKoh, Just got my HLE approved this morning. Hopefully after key collection and reno commencement, I will keep you updated and whether which Taobao purchases are good. Might hold Reno plans during 27 Jul to 24 Aug depending on FSM's advice.

Hi PTopaz, Nope. I have yet to confirm my ID/Contractor yet. Have shortlisted a few and still yet to meet up with friends' referrals. I will write about my meet up / email sessions in due time after my key collection / actual site visit.

Hi Tim, Could you quote me Mitsubishi Starmex Inverter System 2, including installation, 2 trips, piping upgrades and warranty? Could you also quote me the branded Inverter aircon with E-ion purifier sys 2 if any? I am installing for Master Bedroom & Common Bedroom. Pls PM me in renotalk Thanks a lot!

No Prob! Just sharing inspirations! The bench will fit my theme well! But will probably get later together with the floor light after most of the renovation and essential furnishings are settled

If i am a bachelor now, my Reno theme will be the complete opposite. Imagine Steampunk meets Pop Art meet Industrial. As my wife cannot stand it, we decided Common Bathroom shall be under my charge while she gets to decorate the Master Bathroom.

:dancingqueen: We will make space for green plants, 2 or 3 cats and some posters/painting on Animal Photography in the house. Hopefully we can get the right furnishing to complement such a white based colour scheme. Considerations for furnishings:- 1. Add texture 2. Clean lines 3. Light Colours 4. Low and not Bulky 5. Can complement surrounding or not make the space cluttered 6. Too much personality to resist 7. Valuable for Money

I believe Tessina meant did your ID heat treated (fumigate) your pallets?

Kitchen Inspirations Going for the half tiled raw finishes with the farmhouse sink!

After much discussion with our elders, we have decided to KIV our plans for grey concrete look alike tiles for our future 2nd home instead.

Our Reno Requirements:- 1) To hack off L wall at kitchen entrance + make good 2) To hack off L wall at Bedroom 3 + make good 3) To dismantle SY windows & Bifold door + touch up 4) To construct 2 x bottom kitchen cabinets with Quartz top, ABS trimming, handcrafted barn doors with soft closing mechanism 5) To supply labour to install lights, ceiling fan, install new /relocate electrical points & install kitchen/bathroom accessories 6) To paint whole house with Nippon/Dulux (4+1) 7) To install 4 doors (2 Veneers / 1 wooden lourved Bifold / 1 sliding barn door) 8) Craft Brick Feature Wall 9) 9 ft suspended Study table along Bedroom 3 Windows area 10) 5.5 ft full height Wardrobe in Master Bedroom 11) 4 ft full height storage cabinet in Living / Dining Area 12) To lay HERF flooring for whole house except BS, toilets & SY We hope the house will turn out spacious, well ventilated, hopefully lots of natural light and will be going for low furniture with a woody feel. Leaning towards white / neutral base colours with a dash of blue / light pastel colours as accent colours and probably a subtle hint of polished industrial or Scandinavian elements. My wife dislikes the overly raw/distressed /extreme look and mirrors. We like the house to be clutter free and will be counting on the bomb shelter for the additional customized racking storage since we are not doing much carpentry.

4 Room BTO Standard Flat w/o flooring & doors. Really can't wait to start Reno. Estimated Key Collection Date: ~01 Jul 2014

Scandinavian Modern Farmhouse Inspired Hi Renotalk Folks & Friends, Firstly, many thanks to a lot of the Brothers & Sisters here for the Reno sharing and valuable tips/notes over the past 12 months. I learnt that over the course of planning, it is rather difficult to keep to the budget as we built our dream house. My initial budget has increased almost twice! From wanting to keep it simple and save cost, we have decided to "invest" more for the long term and keep ourselves happier. Preparatory stage (Mar - Aug):- 1) Decided on the overall theme 2) Decided on my essential renovation requirements (family lifestyle, basic fengshui, etc) + Optional requirements (more carpentry, etc) 3) Meet up with recommended ID/contractors to compare quotes and doing research on them. 4) Request to view the ongoing projects for the shortlisted ones to check on workmanship and quality. 5) Confirm actual site conditions(amount of natural light, wind conditions, ceiling beams, etc) and then reassess my design plans, subsequent material selection and colour theme. 6) Enjoying the Reno Journey

Hi PinnPinn, for the typical 60 x 60 Homo tiles, how much psf you can choose during tiles selection? $3.20 psf?

Hi Myzticalz, I think you can consider painting a large cat motif on the wall instead of bricks
