Bathrooms Some people in the estate have collected their keys and very kindly shared photos of the default tiles and fittings with the Facebook group. The thing is, the bathroom tiles are the ugliest I have ever seen in a HDB flat I am not even kidding. It's like they just gave up on trying. So I don't know what to do now - we want to save money by keeping whatever we can as default as possible, but if it's so ugly...??? Anyway, some more mood images: Bedroom As simple and comfortable as possible! Do we want a TV in here? We are not sure.

Kitchen I like the floating cabinetry; I've seen homes where there are lights installed beneath them for a really cool ambient lighting effect. Plus, easy to wash the floor! That said, we're unlikely to change the default tiling, so these mood images are really just a very general idea. Laundry / Service Yard I was advised to install a small but deep sink in the laundry area for easy soaking and washing of items that require it. It does sound like a really good idea.

Okay so these next few posts contain some inspiration. Pinterest is a terrible place for proper sourcing, so pardon the lack of sources for any of the following. I'm also not sure why the sizing is so awful when I took the effort to manually resize them all... Living & Dining Basically if I could shove the entirety of one of the MUJI pre-fab houses into a HDB flat, I would. In the meantime, I will settle for a modern zen aesthetic. Tony has already approved a lounge chair from MUJI and we've bought it (it was on sale!).

Hello! After three solid years of lurking, I finally signed up. For easy reference, I'm Pepper and my partner is Tony; nice to meet you. Here's the raw floor plan for Casa Stark: It's a 4-room BTO unit in Sengkang West. You may have heard of the estate in the news at the beginning of the year... I've begun assembling contacts for the job, as well as some really great advice, but any and all recommendations and suggestions are totally welcome. Like another semi-Stark, I know (next to) nothing. I also have a separate blog that I'll be using to document the process and subsequent living, but I noticed that this forum is where people come for the extreme details (e.g. how much each tile costs) so I'll do my best to put that stuff in. All the better to help others! And also get info on whether I'm overspending for certain things. Will update with more images and unnecessary pop culture references as we go along. In the meantime I have several Pinterest boards worth of references and inspiration, please feel free to browse. Cheers, y'all.

Hey there jez2014 and husband! Couldn't get a PM through so I'm commenting here. I really enjoy both of your posts, they're hilarious AND informative - couldn't ask for more. Except for your contractor's contact. I'm asking for that. Thanks very much! Enjoy your home
