Progress to date 19 April 2008 We went up in the morning to check on the progress... and spotted some stuff that need to be changed! Living Hall TV console TOO BROAD! Too awfully bulky look... To be cut to slimmer the breath of the tv console! Dining Hall My Favorite Lamp needs to be centralize! Temper Glass is installed today! Custom-made Dining Table The dimensions our ID given us is too short! My hubby was so dismay when he saw this. He has been looking forward to this table as we couldn't find any table to our liking... Talked to our ID... change change change... Kitchen Some bits and minor things need to be changed e.g. the base of the drawer to use a thicker wood. Found some tears and scratches but we are assured by our ID, by handover, will do up the touch up... Master Bedroom

Ya... i feel after we fit in some of the carpentry, it doesnt look small... but they are not living in the unit mah... most importantly is we like it haha. RED? initially my ID also recommend us RED but i fell in love with this Lolipop pink when i first saw in the catalogue.

Counting down to Moving in! We went to check on the progress again... Finally they got our window fixed up... now it look more like a house hehe Dining Hall Kitchen Cabinet.... SO Nice! Laundry Area... duno why the cabinet at the right look so extremely crooked.... Thanks thanks... My parents n in-laws are quite pessmistic on the colours... u know.. old folks. but we want our unit to be somewhat different. Quite glad that the colours come up to our expectations. basically our renovation is completing soon and we can move in in early May! so happy. Ok.. i'll take note on the price and brand. thanks for ur recommendations

Work Room Lights Master bedroom and common room lightings Dining Hall Lighting (Oh i LOVE this... but really concern with the result if its too dim) Hah Budget budget... our reno contractor giving us FOC but we are topping up to a glass surface hob Wanted to get vitrocreamic but really on tight budget.. perhaps when we are richer in years to come by....

CONFIRMED Interior Design Firm After one by one contractor, and after our first appointment with HDB, we finally come down to a decision to hire ideal house as our renovation contractor, our interior designer is Steven Tay from IDEAL HOUSE. Recommended by our friend. A friendly and patient guy that really listen to what we look for in the house design... and try his best to do to what we want... notti.gif Selection of Tiles Our ID brought us to select our floor tiles at Balestier today. We managed to pick our floor tiles within 2 hours. Kinda of fast. But somehow we can visualize the kind of tiles we wanted as our home theme is Modern Classic. My hubby has his eyes on a rustic feel tile for the foyer floor. The surface seems a bit rough, gives a ruggard kind of feel. Good for me, less cleaning... haha. i cannot stand things that can see dirty too easily. Steven recommended a cement looking tile for kitchen. But then, we prefer black tile for kitchen. The kitchen carpentery shall be red and black theme.... Wooo.... we can visualize its going to be very nice as our kitchen lack of light shining in. Red shall brighten up the kitchen feel... Then going into our utitily room where we decided to overlay the flooring since it was just being upgraded by HDB with a woody feel. Then for the living hall, we do not have much to choose... our ID recommended a neutral beige for the living hall and black for toilet floor. Initally, even before going to meet our ID, my ideal tiles for living hall is black gloss tile. But seems like we do not have much selection. Our ID recommended matte tile if we want a solid color. But then he warned us that there is a lot of maintenance to be done, and you can see if its dirty easily. He did recommend us a greyish matte tile but that again look like cement floor which i don't really agree on. tentatively, my hubby and i choose on a beige white homogeneous tile. As we still have some time, we went to Jalan Besar to select our sink, kitchen tap and towel bowl. We couldn't see a nice sink so we shall KIV our toilet basin and sink tap. We might be DIYing our basin bracket. Cooker hob.... we prefer to get the black gloss instead of aluminium surface... our ID shall be checking out the extra amount we need to fork out. We were so tempted to get the flat sleek cook hob that runs on electric.. but was quoted 900 plus...forget it... HDB upgraded a utitly room... and making up to 76 sq metres. HACK HACK HACK from 13th to 14th March 2008 Demolished particles.. HEHEHE Tiles Demolished @ the living hall.... Half height wall Demolished... it really make a difference, the house look bigger! Kitchen cabinet demolished! Demolish + Dismantle work COMPLETED! Tiling Works from 18 Mar to 21 March 2008 Tiles up for the toilet! Still not happy with the wall tiles but due to $$$ constraints, we have to bear with this for the time being, after all, we dont really spend much time in the shower room or WC room.... I HATE the flower strips! gonna find some way to cover this up! Kitchen tiles upz! Work Room tiles Upz! Living Hall tiles not done up yet... We can't wait to see the end result! Kitchen base is yet to done up as we have yet to find a fridge yet.. haha we promise to get our measurement by 16 March... WALL COLOURS For the overall house....
