Ya very good deal!

Philips Carnival @ EXPO! Been wanting to get Philips Air Fryer for the longest time... It's the first time we drag so much things out from expo sale! *feeling accomplished* hahaha! Actually we only bought the Air Fryer. The rest are all FREE gifts that comes with it! *priceless satisfaction*

Yay & thankewww! Hardwood floor feel is exactly what we're trying to achieve! Watch too much HGtv on those real dark hardwood floors...the more we see, the more we love it ;D

Thank you! yup will be doing laminate skirting for all 3 bedrooms + living room.

HERF Installation Day! Mr. B was on site for HERF installation. Requested him to take some photos of the progress for us Can't wait to see it for ourselves tomorrow!

Hello! Got it at S$260 from HoeKee.

Wah... I hope i don't fall in love too much with all the pretty BLUM drawers tomorrow ><" Gonna pay our next payment to ID tomorrow so that might stop me from over-spending (i hope!)

Week 6 According to ID Mr.B, most of this week's works are done in factories such as Tempered Glass Panels for kitchen & bathroom. Others will be: Painting of 2 bedrooms & touch-up the painting job of entire houseInstallation of HERF to all 3 bedrooms this Friday (finally!) Delivery of lighting (yay can go visit our place at night soon! hahaha)Going through all Carpentry drawings this Saturday! If all is well, Mr.B can order materials and proceed with fabrication! He said it will take about 2 weeks We will also be going to BLUM showroom to take a look at the heavy-duty drawers that we want to add.Took the opportunity of PH & started packing yesterday. Managed to pack in all those won't-need-them-for-the-next-2-months stuff... such as books, bags, perfumes & nail-polishes, and toiletries. I realized i have so much TOILETRIES (shower gels & shampoo & body lotions & hand creams...) that it took about 2 boxes to pack them all in. All are given to me as presents with most of them still in their original box/package. Can't wait to put them out in our new MBR bathroom & guest bathroom! All my guests will be happy with nice nice shower sets

From the 3Ds, it looks like we have similar color theme!

OHMYGOSH to your marble-looking counter top! And the fire place! They are absolutely GORGEOUS! Make me so tempted to give up my iQuartz lol. So excited to see you completed place!

Hahaha oops! I finally can post photos using photobucket IMG, so uploaded photos with my phone, and was editing the post on laptop. yes the tiles are up!

Yea! Your house is looking awesome!

End of Week 5 It started raining when we're on our way to check-out the progress of our place today. So we decided to pop-by the Community Center right outside the bus stop to take a look (and avoid walking in the rain). Inside the Community Center, there is a Food Court, Prima Deli, Cheers & NTUC + Unity Pharmacy. I can say I am very pleased with this FairPrice! They have quite a comprehensive range of products, fairly spacious & not crowded! Best part: it's only 200m from our place! Lots of my favorite Salmon~~~ (can't wait to stock them up in our new big fridge!) Coconut, Blue & Red Berries... They have a small corner of Japanese food! Love these ramen when my in-laws bought them back from Tokyo last year. When we stepped out of the FairPrice, the rain had stopped! We were there to check on the painting-works... Household Shelter's Door painted to white to match the kitchen wall tiles... Living room... MBR... We actually chosen another color for the other 2 bedrooms. However, the color turned out with a faint-pink tone. It's nice, but not something hubby & I fancy. So we decided to paint the 2 bedrooms to this light shade of grey that's in MBR. The painting job we saw today were not fantastic at all the door frames & wall connecting points. ID said they will do touch-up. Can someone tell me is this normal??? I hope they will do the re-paint & touch-up soon!

"Night Walk" & HERF for Bedrooms We reached our place at 7+pm yesterday after work. With no lightings, we literally had a "night-walk" with our ID around our house using our iPhones torch-lights. As he had some sketches drawn & pasted on the walls at various locations, he brought us from point-to-point to take a look and for us to choose either option "A" or "B". Of course, if we have other suggestions, we can tell him too. But the options he gave were sufficient for us to decide @ Dining Area: Bronze Tinted Glass layout - we chose Option A @ Kitchen Area - Full Height Tempered Glass Doors Panel - we chose Option B (We didn't take photo of the option that we didn't choose.) Also, we finally confirmed on the HERF for our bedrooms yesterday! Seems like most suppliers offered many types of light-colored wood pattern (most popular now) or brown wood pattern with reddish tones. However, we wanted dark-brown that looks like those real hardwood floors. Few months ago, the darkest color our ID managed to get for us is blackish/grey. Looks great too, but dark-brown will be ideal. Then few weeks ago, our ID received new catalog from one of his HERF suppliers. And they have the dark-brown wood pattern we are looking for! He brought the sample for us to see yesterday. We request to bring it home to take a look under morning sunlight... It's actually darker than photo shown. Closer to the catalog sample color when not under direct sunlight. Did a feet-test & it feels awesome! Can't wait for it to be installed!

Hello! PM-ed you!

Bedroom Floors Screeding After 2 weeks of delays, our 3 bedrooms screed are finally done today! Our ID sent us photos of the progress to date. So far... False ceiling **** room is upKitchen gypsum partition for tempered glass doors is partially done3 bedrooms screeding doneMeeting him tonight at our place to finalize our HERF & skirting choice. Hope the wet works will complete soon and move on to carpentry!

End of Week 4 Was back to my parents place over the weekend and went furniture shopping! Visited StarLiving at Sungei Kedut. Saw many good reviews about their service and it was true indeed. The lady who served us was very patient & never push us to buy at any point. She just let us know the info we need, and let us decide without any pressure. Didn't set out to buy anything on this visit initially. But since we found what we liked, and with such good service, we went ahead. Bought our 3+2 Sofa set & Dining set 4 chairs + 1 bench. So I guess we've cleared all the big items. Now is just waiting for reno to progress & delivery of items. *faster faster faster!* . . . Monday (2nd Nov 2015) Mad-rush our ID to fix a date for bedrooms floor screeding by hdb contractor. The contractor can actually do it today or tomorrow, but there were so much rubbish in the 3 bedrooms (contractor took photos and sent me lol). So now have to wait for ID to arrange his workers to clear the room so screeding can proceed. Finally fixed the date... it will be done on this Wednesday. We will be finalizing our HERF on that day too

Electrical Works ID Mr. B just sent us photos of the work progress for this week till date! Living room floor tilings are finally done (!) and all covered up with protection sheet. Electrical works look almost done... so next 2 days, they will be doing up the false ceiling! For the downlights... Looking into the living room from MBR MBR & WIW lighting points Need to box these up inside MBR... For false ceiling! Mr. B is trying to confirm the date with HDB contractor for our bedrooms floor screeding... which seems to take forever. I hope the screeding could be done by next week to officially complete the wet works.
