Chiara's Little Sweet Home

Recommended Posts

Oh i like the sliding door that divides the living room and kitchen... issit a glass door? it looks like a wooden frame with horizontal bars... but its nice! my house is too small for such a door... looking forward to your reno pics! :bath:

Actually it's a glass panel with wooden frame :D

Hopefully with the glass door out petite flat will be more spacious.

My daughter's room filled with tiles, sand, etc. Can you spot the parquet? Soon it'll be hacked off and replaced by laminated flooring.

We just bought sofa at moopak balestier. I think they're on sale and we got it half price

I really like the shape. We are thinking not to install the leg, just put it on the floor :notti:

Nice or not? Hope it can represent that resort thingy

Choco has not been updating her blog for several weeks liao, don't know what happened :unsure:

Yes, her unit is near to Braddell MRT. She ever told me the price she paid for her flat, but not nice to share with you lah. But I can tell you the price I paid for my 3-room unit, just pm me. If you are looking at resale flats in TPY, I can tell you it is not going to be cheap now. I tot I paid a high price when I bought mine in Feb this year. But when I was browsing thru the resale transactions on HDB website for TPY 3-room flats, just to see if I bought at the property peak, I saw a corner unit facing HDB hub sold for $330 in May :jawdrop: Imagine 3-room flats in TPY were all below $200k 4 yrs ago.

I believe all 3-room flats in TPY are upgraded. Those not upgraded are either in Potong Pasir zone or selected for ENBLOC liao.

If you need more info, can pm me. Paiseh to make use of choco's blog to talk abt something not relevant to her flat :P

Hi tweetie..... so sorry for the late reply. I was running here and there not to mention a week business trip to Jakarta :(

I'll PM you the price. Yes it's an upgraded unit. Very near Bradell MRT. I was looking around TPY area since my brother in law live in that area.

Now... our petit bathroom :bangwall:

View from the door. So so so smal.... :~:~

The shower area, we finally hacked the wall in between to make it looks a bit larger.

But I love the tiles.......

Nice :dribble: like your PD door. BTW, what does PD stand for?

Poor choco, your bathroom becomes so small with such a big gap between the 2 drainage pipe. What a stupid work from HDB. Mine was side by side to the wall leh. Your toilet bowl is as small as mine :notti:

Is your hand basin made of glass?

I thought you wanted to have laminated flooring for living room as well? How come change to homo tiles liao?

The laminated flooring in your bedrooms looks pretty unique. Which laminate company did you go for?

Are you going to do without window grilles? Saw your living room windows have no window grilles.

The progress in your house seems to be pretty slow leh, kitchen cabinet still not up after these few weeks 8|
