More Updates! Perhaps the only thing I find more glaring in terms of the carpentry work was the joint lines of the laminates. My dad used to work in the carpentry line and said this is normal. But I went around checking out my cousin and friend's house, the joint lines are not that obvious.. Maybe they used brown coloured laminates so it isn't obvious. Unfortunately for my case, white and grey can't hide that brown joint But I did visit the completed flats of my ID and have seen the joint lines before I signed. It's a clean brown line that is not noticeable from far and doubt people will scrutinise my carpentry work anyway. Showed the pic to my friend and she said it just looks like a design. Here's a close up of the joint line I am referring to. May be worthy to highlight to your ID if you can't accept it, so they will find solutions for that, perhaps by using a more expensive laminate that can fold over the corner / use a similar colour laminate to cover the line, instead of cutting up the laminate and joining them together at the edges.

Updates! Okay I've seen my house in real life for a few times now. Everything looks pretty okay with minor defects here and there (mostly in the internal of the carpentry work). Here's more pictures - kitchen with backsplash up. Entrance Hood + Hob Side Oven Side Oven side with lights on Shoe cabinet / divider complete with settee cushion Complete TV feature wall + console

Hi Forever, I've PM-ed you the contact. Sorry won't be sharing the breakdown of the quotation to be fair to my ID. You can refer to post #5 for my detailed carpentry works and the approximate cost. Cheers!

Thanks! The mirror made the entrance area looks bigger than it is. I'm happy with how it turned out too For MBR i only did 2 bedside tables. The rest will depend on my choice of bedframe and deco above it. Will show pics when those are ready. It's a standard flat, but I opted in for the optional component scheme, so it came with HDB doors and tiles.

PM-ed!

Nice job with the painting! V vibrant colours

Thanks! I love the glossy white too, it made my off white wall colour look cream though. haha. Will show more pics when there's more updates. Seems like everything is pretty similar to the photos my ID sent me at the moment. Perhaps kitchen first as backsplash is up!

Just visited my house, it's pretty alright. I think the mirrored feature wall really help gave the illusion of space!

Hello! Got the lights from Choon Ying Trading. My ID charged me per extra light point at $40 and installation at $9 per light

Hi there! Can share the tb link for the laundry basket? thanks

Hi Tarzanboy, Nop my ID doesn't charge GST I got my downlight at $30 per pce and one year warrenty.. Will PM u my ID details..

Just wondering, is the curtain maker Vincent Wong?

Oh I didn't know they provide service to survey the houses.. this is useful knowledge for other homeowners! For the ugly pipes, I guess they can be "concealed" and blend to the background by painting them the same colour as the wall. At least the colour will not stick out sorely.. Plus it saves us the hassle of ordering tanked gas

hehe thanks! after I clean up, wipe down abit and checked for defects I will let u know sometime next week k?

Phew. Okay that's all the photos I have for now. Think I'm missing pictures for our study table and the toilet vanity and that will pretty much conclude all the carpentry work for our dream home renovation journey. I have not seen the carpentry in real life yet but there's a few concerns I have from the latest pics. Crossing fingers, and most likely, it is just camera angles. If they r indeed concerns I will highlight them next week when I see them! The next stage will be mostly on buying sofa, bedframe, dining table, coffee table and all the necessary decoration to make our dream home cosy yet minimalist!

Last update that is not that crucial.. The cabinet tt covers all piping in the service yard How it looks on the inside (unsightly pipes!) Sliding door at the top

Continued updates Completed wardrobe Another angle of wardrobe Shelving beside study table Bedside tables
