Reiki 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 We have now gotten all of our furniture that we ordered earlier. The Dining Set When we ordered the dining set in August, we were told that we could only get the set in November. Meanwhile, they agreed to loan us a temporary set. Haha, and see how ugly it is! Our dining area today: The dining set we ordered --> View of our dining room: - with the sheer and dress curtains just up Still waiting for the acrylic box to cover the led lights along the wall ledges.

porkypig 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 Thanks tower. Guess, there's plus minus getting this resale flat. One of the things is not having a gas pipe - not used to having cylinder gas and always feel like the gas gonna empty soon after each cooking. Looking back, this renovation is such a great life lessons. Surely, it will stay within us down the years ahead. Err, what is w/m eh? Washing Machine out of curiousity, those "little" downlights, are they bright enough? Are they energy saver? From the post pictures, the flat is very cosy and sufficient lited.. hmmm...

Reiki 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 Hi Reiki, May I know where did you get your sofa? We bought the sofa from The Furniture Club. My tips: The best price we got was from The Plaza, Beach Road. Had a good bargain with the manager there. wow very nice indeed. Classy and modem!! Thanks for the compliment, Cloudy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reiki 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 Hi Reiki, u have a nice dining set! think saw it b4. is it from evov? if not, where u bought it? price? Thanks cher. Haha, nice set but burnt a big hole in our pocket. They are from ZXQT. Bought during GSS about S$6K. WOW! Your flat can be a model showflat already! Care to share with us how much was the reno? Thanks BunBun. Guess we were lucky to have our architect designer friend to make our dream house into reality. A resale HDB, and an old unit, is not easy to renovate. When we drew up the renovation plan, our budget was S$60K. However, when we started to renovate, there were more and more addons and we wanted to have good quality finish. Guess, we were kinda fussy too. Plus, we want a house that will last us till retirement - hehehe. In the end, hmm, the cost doubled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunBun 5 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 Oh my, your place is definitely making me dizzy with envy. Yes, an old unit is not easy to renovate given that there are alot of things to replace. Just that it does not have to be a costly investment to last till retirement since not everything are permanent enough to withstand the styles that goes by throughout the years. But as long as you and your hubby are happy coming home to a lovely & cosy home like this, it is worthwhile taking the burden off your shoulder relaxing like this. On hindsight, if you guys maintain the home as it is like now, the value might be considerably worth the selling price should you guys want to sell it. Thanks BunBun.
