Nice 3D ! Is that a full blacksplash along the entire kitchen cabinet ? Are u using tempered glass ? Btw, we're using IdealHouse too ! Signing the contract today. Hope they have not started charging GST yet..

Hey thanks ! Wow 20-30K ??! Yeah Ive heard rumours but didn't know they were true... The door has already been opened ! Took pictures already liao... Muahahaha... Thanks JJCian !

Hey hows everyone ? Im so excited cos we'll be collecting our keys tomorrow and will get our first view of the house @ blk 181. Btw, does anyone knows how long it takes for the contractor to finish laminating the floor ? we will confirm with our ID most probably by tomorrow and we hope that renovation will start this month. we have a few furnitures that need to be delivered by end of the month and we're hoping that at least one the flooring for one room will be ready by then for us to shift in all the stuff.. is this possible ?

lovely ! why bother with the expensive ones when you have such precious finds here.. did you get them locally ?

yeah its cool...haha but don't quite go with the theme im going for. i prefer this. but dont think they have it here. then again, forget i said that cos the price is a whopper !

Hiya Lin, Just to enquire since our floorplan is identical. Will the wardrobe be like our fellow YS Kingkongz? Is there ideas by your ID where to place the wardrobe? Some of the ideas is to hack to 2nd bedroom which i'm not too keen. Anyway how is it for you to change the toilet floor tiles? Looks Eeeeech pink colour. Me to thinking wanna change. Errr last question, how much for the sweet sweet lcd tv? I love the sleek look. btw im hijacking my fiance login id. Hur Hur.

Yeap definitely not cheap. But relatively cheap-er is what i meant. hehe.. You can request for them to email you the catalog. All the prices are stated there.. Btw, does anyone know where I can find hanging chairs for the balcony ? Sorry to sidetrack abit.

SPAMMED ! Wow I didnt know BKK is such a resourceful place to go when it comes to home decor. Good findings !

Wow your place is going to look gorgeous...can already visualise it liao... Im inspired by the shabby chic look myself... chia yoh!

whoa shopping galore ! Hee.. am so jealous ! have you guys moved in all the furnitures yet ?

wow i love ur capentry. and i love the woodgrain patterns on your vanity cabinet doors. are they lamitak ?

hey hey welcome all ! thanks apple freak ..we're excited too our first batch of photos will definitely be up once we get the keys on thursday !

We're getting our keys next thursday. You can rest assured we'll look into every nook and crany to make there are defects in the tiling hahaha. Btw I just realised ur ID is max.. Coincidentally, we went down to their showroom yesterday for a consult with him and it went pretty well. The quote was pretty attractive ..

Thanks Babytan ! A fellow westerner ! Its a pain trying to do the 3D drawing..did some and edited the rest in photoshop ! Cheating mah.. Haha.. You waiting for your keys too ?

Hey.. is it too late spam ?? Hehehe.. You're like us..waiting eagerly for the keys. We are also running around getting quotes and what-nots that we've developed a 12 inch thick folder and an even thicker leg muscles already ! Have u decided on an ID yet ?

I ordered my retro wave carpet from a local online shop called Studio 1961. They sell designer chairs too. I think their prices are relatively cheaper than most because they don't own a showroom If you are not comfortable on making an online purchase, you can actually choose to have it COD... and they 3 days money back guarantee as well..

Hulla.. nice 3D designs ! Just met up with Max frm IDEALHOUSE yesterday also for a consult & quotation. He's a friendly chap, seems honest and reliable also... Reading your blog, it seems that he's providing a good service so far... So that's a good sign . Hee...

Part One : The One Where We Couldn’t Wait to Get the Keys to Open Up the Dang T-Blog The long-awaited letter finally came and we are well on our way on getting the house ! Key collection date is set to be on 10th April -- just a day after our 3rd year engagement anniversary – how symbolic ! Meanwhile, we’ve already spoken to a few IDs, bought some funitures and planned our layout. Our heads are buzzing with ideas and we are practically bursting at the seams. Wedding aside, this home renovating project is all we ever talk about anymore. Anyways, heres the floorplan that we got from our first appointment. We’ve looked at the piece of paper so often that we’ve memorized every single detail down to the last bit. The original piece is practically tattered, until we decided to make multiple copies of it. Even enough to have them distributed around to reno consultants like flyers while we sit back and wait for all the quotations stream in ! Heres the 3D version that I google sketched-up Yeah I know. Its nothing much. I drew the bookcase, got tired and just rendered it out anyway. Maybe I should just leave this job to the ID. Design brief is simple. I’ve always love mid-century modern designs. That plus the combination of colour, kitsch and wood. The Meek however loves the warm sophistication of dark sleek wood, piano gloss white laminates and lots of light. So the conclusion ? Eclectic. Due to budget constraints and the fact that we want it to be as hands-on as possible, we are putting our money on the important features – floor (all laminates), walls (bricks, white veneers and more wood) and plenty of bookcases to house our growing number of books and vintage cameras. Excited much ? Yeap ! But now we wait until the shiny new keys are in the palm of our hands. *laughs in glee*

Hi I love your brick feature wall.. May I ask how much it cost you (including labour cost) ? Can PM thanks ! Hee..

well...there goes my hopes and dreams *haiz*

Gosh ! I hope then, that Im unlucky (or in this case, lucky) enough to find hollow tiles in my flat just so I have an excuse to hack away ! Anyways, thanks for the info, hobbes !

oops sorry ! haha..I come by as pretty useless when it comes to telling the diff between plasmas and lcds. hence, i shall leave the TV-buying to my husband !

Hey looks like things are progressing well over there I just got the letter from HDB and we will be collecting our keys this coming Thursday.. Psyched ! Heee...

Hi, just a question. Is the request to get HDB to hack the tiles available for Standard flats too or just for Premium flats ? The flat me and my FH purchasing already comes with floor and wall tiling for the kitchen and bathroom. Ive seen it and don't quite like it so am planning to get the HDB contractor to hack..

Nice ! Your red plasma really stands out when placed against it
