Hi, finally figured how to use this site. Sua ku. Getting a 2nd nest with my wife.We have 2 girls n they're growing up too fast. Our current hdb 5 rm is getting too small for us. Lol Decided to look around and managed to secure this unique hdb EM,sold our current place, all within a week! The new nest used to have 3 rooms, but owner hacked and merged main bedroom with bedroom 2. The rooms are all on the lower floor, as the usual EM have rooms on the upper. Am in the mid of getting the paper work sign (1st appoint) & geting ideas for the reno. Our last reno was 13 years ago. So m glad we're going thru all these reno adventure again with our girls. Juz to share the floor plan . M searching for ideas here,shared by you wonderful homeowners.

Finally, my chance to start a thread of my own after about a year of scouring through fellow forumers' t-Blogs. Was supposed to be able to start my own thread slightly earlier but due to life's twist and turn of events... Well, change of story as well, and... nonetheless, finally gotten another home of my own! Sadly, not the initial BTO as planned but now a resale unit... Hopefully it's a blessing in disguise. Well, to be fair, it is as well, because I managed to get the dream flat that I've always wanted, no doubt had to squeeze my pockets dry and probably go the bread and butter route. Anyway, titled Part I because due to the twisty road that I went down, a hole grew in the pocket and... thus the super duper limited budget I have to work with for now. May not be a really fanciful t-Blog with much surprises though... Can only continue other parts/ stages when vitamin M is replenished. After the wait that caused my neck to grow really long, we managed to clear the Boss stage and obtained the ultimate... Set of Keys! Didn't come in any fancy leather pouch but in a recycled plastic bag though. Kinda unglam but as long as it works, that's the most important. Well start off the traditional way, by... posting the floorplan. lol... But before I start, I'd like to thank the fellow bros and sis' that took time to reply my queries on their t-Blog and respond to my PMs. Ok, here goes..... P.s. Titled Sand Castle In The Air because the initial planned makeover is said to be quite extensive, but due to the lack of funds to make the dream come through... thus, it's still a sand castle in the air project.. Will slowly but surely work to make the castle land.. haha. My plan was to cover this whole house in greys and monochromes. Hints at cement screed, plaster, concrete, you get the gist ya? I kinda like greys, but my wife prefers light and white. Will try my best to mix and create an end result which will be the dream home of the both of us. Will insert some nature, wood grains and brown to break the hard industrial look that the greys might create. Let's hope this will turn out great! Some of the inspirational homes I've came across:
