Our Cosy Home

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Been reading this forums for months and finally it our turn to share our completed home photos. :bangwall:

We started looking for resale flats in Ubi since March 2007 after months of searching n waiting we finally found our home in June. Our first HDB appt on 6th Sept 2007 n finally the handover is on 18th Oct 2007.

Due to budget constraint, we hire a contractor and do a very simple reno.

Start off will provide a layout of our hse. !!

I like ur Green color wall good combination with the living room lights. :rolleyes:

Ur kitchen entrance also look big do u install glass panal??? :rolleyes:

Thanks tat green is called tart twist from Nippon paint if I am not wrong my husband choose the color turn out the result not bad :P

so far we din plan to install any glass panel wun be doing any heavy cooking so i guess will be ok??? the entrance use to be narrower hubby wan it bigger so we hack ... n it make the kitchen look bigger n brighter
