    their quotes actually does'nt vary much so imagine my shock when i receive quote from Absoxxxx because they have quite a lot of positive reviews in FB so was under the impression i will be quoted sky rocket high becoz you know quality normally comes with a price.. you may want to give them a try or pm me so i can share more details about my ID from a happy owner..

    agree with Hwmook, it is important for you to engage good ID matching your personality and budget!

    So I have been reading up lots of Reno t-Blogs ever since we had balloted for our flat. It had been a long four years wait when we finally got our keys. We got our keys in late July this year and got our shortlisted IDs/contractors to come down for actual site measurements and to revise their quotations accordingly. In the end, we decided on an ID though he does not have the cheapest quotation.

    The main reason we chose him was that he seemed to be able to visualize the house that we wanted. I had a certain idea on how I want my house to be but there were some parts where I am unsure on the practicability of them. With the 3D drawn, we started the renovation on end Sept 2016.

    The main colours that we are going to use in the house is oak wood, white and black. I do not think that there is any specific theme. I am hoping that the house will look simple and clean.

    First off, tiling started! We had decided to lay the same floor tiles (black with light grey stripes) for living and bedrooms. Grouting is black but currently it looked white as the dust had accumulated =.=.

    Next off, black floor tiles and marble-like wall tiles for both bathrooms, For the wall tiles, due to budget constraints, we only overlay the default feature wall ( black for master toilet, white for common toilet)

    With all the tilings done, we moved on to lighting.

    We had a long discussion with our ID on the lighting arrangement. We wanted our house to be bright (because there were too much black =P) but yet no false ceiling. We totally hate the look of the 'hole' that most false ceilings will have in order to accommodate the aircon unit. 

    In the end , we decided on track lights for living room and masterbed room. Simple Ceiling Lights will be fixed for the rest of the rooms, kitchen and service yard.

    We also decided on our choice of doors. I will never expected myself to say this, but we had chose a very traditionally looking wood door. Yet, it matched well with the rest of the house. Oh well, money is saved to be splurge elsewhere then~

    Doors will be painted white. I am still thinking whether to leave the door frame white or to paint them black?
