The dust has settled and we have stayed in for 2 week and these 2 weeks are nothing short of cleaning and packing and hosting. Though the small space, we've tried (and are able) to host about 12 guests at a time at home. Posting pictures of the completed home to seal the T-blog. It has been a tedious but definitely fun process.

Hi akademon, yes it comes with storage and headboard. The ID charged us about $2k for it.

We have been so busy cleaning up and packing out stuff. The house has not been handed over but it should not be too long till then. Just minor touch ups. Meanwhile, our living room looks like this now.

Hi Takaishi, Enjoyed reading your t-blog and nice reno! We have a similar idea of leaving the mirror on the floor like yours. Can I check if you applied anything on the top to secure it? or just leave it standing? Thanks!

Hi Leslie, I have sent you a PM on the contacts. It's most embarrassing but I am not sure about the colour code of the grey used. We rely on my ID for most stuff, we don't really go into details.

Hello all, Will you guys know how many times is reasonable for the carpenters to return? We are asking them to come for the 3rd time as there are rectifications to be done.

A little something we added at the 11th hour, confirmed with the ID last week and it's up on Wednesday. Very pleased, money well spent. Wishing all an awesome 2015!

Thank you for your feedback benetay. We will keep a lookout at the degeneration if any. Meanwhile we are happy to keep it as it is. Cheers and Happy new year!

Hi benetay, Nope, it's resting on the "waffles" case. There is electrical point inside the case, just need to get your electrician to connect the T5s.

Hi benetay, Yes, we added T5 lights inside the case to brighten the toilet. Yup, vanity is done by carpenters. Yup, the workmanship is pretty good. Just in the wrong laminate. They will be fixed.

Busy busy week for us as the carpentry comes in. And we have been really busy shopping at Ikea and coordinating all the furniture deliveries. Carpentry are mostly up but there are some boo-boos as no renovation journey is complete with no hiccups. Toilets' laminates are supposed to be the same but they somehow turned up different. The bed is not aligned with the lighting point and the bedside drawer is too low. All these will be fixed and air-con installation is today. Mistakes aside, the workmanship is good from what we see. We will be starting our packing soon! Happy new year all!

Painting has all been completed and lights installation is going on this Wednesday. ID says kitchen carpentry would be in latest next week. I realised I am pretty bad at taking photos because I don't know which part of the home to take. Here's a photo of my completed TV wall and hallway. We would like to specially mention the air-con contractor. Their finishing is really good and hubs is all praises for their workmanship. The air-con pipe can barely be seen after painting.

We ended up with choices of Comfort design and Castlery and bed frame from ID. We are looking at getting a study table from TB.

Nice choices of furniture, we really like stuff from Mountain Teak and Ethnicraft. But really not too affordable.
