hapimint 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2008 Tofler, softballer, Well, honestly, I bought this flat at a very affordable price.... hehe... we bought just before the sudden rise in property prices... probably a week before... the news of the crazy prices in HDB... So we paid 270k for our flat....then after all the grant of 40k, well, you calculate? hehe.... Skywolf, Love your idea.... but well, my hubby only gave me 20k budget and I need to get the whole renovation up.... so think I must work within the budget... haiz..... Btw, I finally managed to convince my hubby to go with me to a ID today... They suggested epoxy painting to my kitchen and toilet wall tiles... isit good?

hanni06 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 wow... great space for great price! just the two of you living at this house? i would have loved merging the two original kitchen for a super huge dining area to accommodate gatherings. the study would have a wiw and mini office with bedroom 2 as the mbr, so need to create access to toilet... i see the toilets were already merged, 4 toilets became 2. haha wishful thinking for me! hapimint, in my humble opinion, 20k seems quite limited budget... i juz did a premium flat with initial 20k budget too but totally blew it! can share what you intend to do up?

hapimint 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 hello.. here are some pics of my place which we took during 1st viewing... The view of Woodlands MRT from my place... The present Kitchen.. The present MBR.. wow... great space for great price! just the two of you living at this house? i would have loved merging the two original kitchen for a super huge dining area to accommodate gatherings. the study would have a wiw and mini office with bedroom 2 as the mbr, so need to create access to toilet... i see the toilets were already merged, 4 toilets became 2. haha wishful thinking for me! hapimint, in my humble opinion, 20k seems quite limited budget... i juz did a premium flat with initial 20k budget too but totally blew it! can share what you intend to do up? Haiz.... hanni06, I cannot hack away any rooms... cos my parents want to move in with us... then my hubby is the eldest son so must always be prepared that his parents might move into our place..... Left with only one extra bedroom and decide to leave it for children if we have any.... Hmm... yesterday met with an ID... they suggested epoxy painting to cover my ugly kitchen and toilets wall tiles.... Then new kitchen cabinets.... Then they suggested L-Box for our living room... but my hubby hates the idea of using down lights only... he wants to have ceiling lights and ceiling fan... so that will be bright and windy.....so well, not sure who is right.....??? Then probably a dream bar counter... my hubby wants in the living room.... A WIW.... hopefully... cos it will make my master bedroom smaller... still thinking... Then a total change for both toilets.... and a study area for my hubby..... probably the master bedroom balcony.... haha... Everybody say I very cruel..... house so big but only give him balcony to work.... hehe..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 if you skip the L-box, that'll shave quite a big chunk off your reno budget no need to buy so many lights and the cost of the L-box $20k can be done, esp if you are not going for much carpentry work and no hacking / retiling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hapimint 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 The toilets are the killer... my hubby hates the separating wall and dun like the position of our toilet bowl and basins... So the floor of the toilet will need hacking and re-lay and hack off the wall and design abit.... so the toilets is a killer le. but no choice... I hate the wall separater too... haha... the toilet suddenly seems small with the separater... when the ID says that actually our toilet is twice as big as others... haha.... She even commented that the wall cannot hack off the whole thing... probably half cos need to protect the sewage pipes.. haha... so I suggested that make it look as though as one side is purely shower area.... like when we go hotels, they have a door then shower area.... She suggested glass doors... but my hubby keep saying glass will break... he wants plastic shower curtains.... haiz...... he scared.... Then the kitchen... the wall with window, we also intend to hack the top part away... then the whole kitchen becomes much brighter le... she suggested lar... but we worried the hanging of clothes... confused... haiz....

NiVleK 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 In my humble opinon, having those plastic shower curtain might as well dun have la.... I used before and I think no use la... Those glass doors are tempered ones so they will not break so easily, unless purposely take a hammer and whack. Besides, they look nice. If not, can opt for those plastic sliding doors...
