Inspired by my next block neighbor, janesuah, I used my air-con budget and splurged on 2 feature walls I was aiming for the white brick wall look but my feature walls turned out looking beige/light brown. Not sure I can be bothered to paint over them as I'm also worried that I will ruin the texture of the cultured stones. http://s941.photobucket.com/user/thevirtualgaragesale/media/RenoTalk/BrownWall_zpsad44dba8.jpeg.html http://s941.photobucket.com/user/thevirtualgaragesale/media/RenoTalk/photo_zps6b9e1552.jpg.html

Didn't get your PM. Can send again, pls? Thanks!

Thanks!!

I haven't seen the 4-room flats but from what you said, I already feel sorry for them! You have done a great job with your space - your flat looks really nice! Do you mind sharing your contractor's info? I wanted a white brick feature wall and am wondering now if I can do it like you did and save some $$. Maybe wallpaper? I didn't have much money set aside for reno to begin with and now, I have lost most of my enthusiasm because the flat is so small I bought a used solid wood queen bed and now, MBR only enough room left for a small wardrobe and tiny space to walk. So sad... I wanted to install an IKEA kitchen because of the solid wood countertop but had a very unpleasant experience with the supposedly IKEA contractor. I met with 2 IDs... one was clueless and the other got my aesthetic but the cost was too high. Also, nobody makes or wants to install a solid wood countertop from IKEA. This whole reno process is so daunting! Sorry to hijack your thread, neighbor

Hi, where did you get your white roll up blinds? I noticed you have a smaller version in your MBR, too. Are they pretty opaque? Easy to clean? I have the ugly black HDB windows and they don't go with my decor so I thought maybe I can try to cover them up

Hi bro, First-time homeowner, need some recommendations for ceiling fans with light and remote for tiny 3-room BTO flat. Thanks!

Wow, I'm so glad I came across this forum and thread! Thanks for posting, janesuah!! I went into this flat-buying process completely clueless and had unrealistic ideas/dreams. I cried after I saw the interior of my 3-room flat at Segar Vale. Still can't believe how tiny it is, especially the kitchen, and really regret buying it. I hate the tiles and doors I got from HDB but can't afford to replace them now. Yours are lovely!
