3ng Parents' Retirement Nest

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

am another lurker who has been stealing from renotalk and decided to do my part now :dancingqueen:

Am helping my parents downgrade from a 4A flat to a 3NG. Even though it's technically my parents' retirement nest, it'll house my sister and I till...we're ready to move out hah.

Anyway, am very happy to engage Roy from Inzen. I'm rather lazy to go through too many IDs so after deliberating very shortly (and since you guys have been so helpful in sharing, making my choice easier), have decided to go with Roy since he comes very highly recommended from friends. Keys have just been collected on 15 May and hacking has just started yesterday so too few pics to share.

Floorplan

Not much of a theme, just modern contemporary with loads of light.

Reducing the long kitchen so to create a dining area.

Some pre-reno pics.

These must go!!

hee dun fight lah...our north is actually amk :yamseng:

=========================

paiseh, cos I'm having exams, haven't been going down to look at the progress but my Pop says it's like warzone now, with all the hacking so nothing special to see, didn't take pics.

Didn't rush Roy for perspective drawings also cos we kinda know how it'll turn out. Haha and babytan, actually with yours up, I can also visualize. We dun have WIW and shoe cab though. On tight budget cos our flat is very old, need to change even sewage pipes and copper piping.

We are so behind everything, haven't picked out other stuff like sanitary ware, carpentry stuff and lights. Furniture lagi worse. Like some of you, we also had to move out b4 flat is ready and we've already done that. Now putting up at relative's 5rm. Moving twice is really :bangwall:

Still no pics cos I'm waiting for the kitchen wall and mbr bathroom doorway to be hacked. Apparently, the permit has only been given for the kitchen wall. Not sure why it's taking so long for the mbr.

Anyway, have selected sanitary ware and kitchen stuff (Rinnai hob + hood + oven). I think it's quite reasonable, all in $3, 200. Like babytan, we also went to the place Roy recommended, Summer Hardware.

Debated whether to take the glass hob or stainless steel but budget won the day since the glass one is from Japan and will cost $500 more.

oh dear :( ... but we only furnished one bathroom for showering purposes leh... the other side will be just a tap and a tiny corner basin and a bowl...which WC did you choose btw? Mine's $230/pc. also bought a instant heater cos my family's not a big fan of hot water.

hmm I wonder where the extras went to. I know my oven alone costs $750. Yours leh?

I also got no mirrors cos cant decide :o

me too ma..common for toilet use, think mostly cater for frens la (toilet bowl + vanity nia).. MBR for showering and toilet lor..think will be changing to frosted glass door..can imagine that shadows can be seen when showering...hehehe :bath:

i choose baron (china made) $160 per piece for coloured, $230 maybe better quality huh? the baron can still suit our backie so ok lor..

i got the ariston 15L storage heater as husband wanted rainshower BADLY...hahaha never got rainshower before ma..instant heater cannot go with rainshower so spent more on storage heater lor..anyway the storage heater is just for bathing purpose, the capacity is not enough if we want to run cold & hot water in whole house

i dun hab oven ;) thats where the difference of $700+ :deal:

summer dun hab nice mirror leh, have to source somewhere else..i duno if i should get the big round or squarish mirror leh..if your basin is squarish glass, which would you choose?
