Melissa Ng 1 Report post Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) hey. how much did u pay for ur reno manz? ur house looks simple, nice n clean. =) think i'm gonna do something like tat too. hopefully it'll not cost me too much =x hi mwerkz, mine is considered a total overhaul incl wiring, accessories n everything...However the pricing is pretty subjective as it also depends on the type of material u choose, the quality factor, the bits n pieces u wanna customise for your house etc. For me i felt the simple look is lasting & relaxing after a hard day's work ..Just choose something that u personally feel comfortable in & won't get bored after some time..As i remembered Mace ( a senior forummer here) once mentioned - make your house look like a home, not a hotel Gratz mel on your newly renovated home. Hi Jack, Thank you thank you, now i'm stayin more closer to u liao in this yishun area, heheh Anyway the other day i saw the tv consol in ur blog, very nice , too bad for me it's out of my budget..nevertheless u got really good taste in all your stuffs, so can't wait to see ur reno complete too Edited July 6, 2008 by mel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melissa Ng 1 Report post Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) so niceeeeeeeeee congrats yaaa..... i cannot tahan really want to feel that feeling too hahahaha.... but i must wait until sept lerrrrr hahahaha...... Thanks very very much CPE Don't worry, the time will come sooner then u think...actually you must enjoy your planning & renovation period, because this is the time where u'll be very full of hope & anticipation ..When my reno ended, my hubby n i felt a little reluctant for Patrick to handover to us ..during the reno period we came almost everyday, watching in anticipation as our house slowly unveils itself & surprise us. Before that everything was in sketches or imagination only, but slowly those became real and we're quite satisfied with the results It has been a good experience, not exactly smooth or perfect, but we've learnt things that we nvr knew . Now that the anticipation is over, it's time to kick back n enjoy the fruits of our labour...well actually not that relaxed yet, cos we still need to unpack Anyway we still need to decor our house a bit, so still something to look forward to Edited July 4, 2008 by mel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melissa Ng 1 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) It's raining again ..well, good time to update my blog ... Hall makeover almost done... TV console Wall decal by Modishop - simply love it The guy who sold us this is the shop owner himself- very nice & helpful. Even though we bought only 1 set of wall decal <$90, he delivered the thing directly to our doorstep FOC. Edited August 31, 2008 by mel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
