RawR 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2008 Yup, cos we scared after we reno then the HDB contractor come do toilets, windows, pipes will spoil our reno mah >< Currently staying with my HB's parents. I think $36.5 for conservation fees, $11.50 for water and refuse. True that it's a pity, but we felt that it is better to time the reno near the upgrade, so we don't need to stay in during the upgrade (think dust and no toilet) =P Gratz on getting your new place soon! =^^= Well Description!

RawR 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2008 Amateur Attempt on Living Room Console The false ceiling should be white color >< The red cupboard on the right shall hide the electric box. Will go all the way to the cove lighting ceiling to hide the wire (in green). The console that the TV is a pull-open drawer with hinges at the base. Think will put light below it for effect. To the right is the main door, to the left, the entry way to the MRB and even further left, the mirror walled for the dining area. The sofa is a modular system (v draft) that we saw at furniture mall, kidney shape, the round portion can move ^^ Colors PlanConsole in Glossy Dark Red and Glossy GraySofa not decided, maybe suede black or if possible change to cream leather / PVC finishPaint color for walls **** room: ICI Light and Space, Desert Wind (LS 22274). Hopefully can reflect more light and make the living room less long and narrow Paint color for passageway: ICI Supreme Bisque (SP22803) or Mocha Delight (SP26346) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RawR 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2008 TV Console Attempt 2 Realized last night that the TV console cannot hide the electric wires and cable points to the TV ><" New TV Console~ simpler design The right side tall red cupboard shall hide the electric box. Below the electric box, I'm thinking of an empty space w/o shelving, not sure if I can find a vacumn cleaner that can fit into 30cm x 40cm though >< The wires to the TV will go inside the tall red cupboard, out behind the grey long console and out of a little cut out hole. Left side red cupboard to store DVDs, CDs and misc items Plan to have aircon in the left hand side corner. Hopefully it can be place there and the trunking can be hidden in the false ceiling in the passageway Color Scheme remains the same Next up, the passageway~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a plug-in for use inside sketchup ^^ The rendering does make loads of difference I think, here's a 2D export direct from sketchup w/o rendering for your reference ^^ My current window height and door also estimates =P wow u used sketchup to draw all that? i using sketchup also but dunno how to make the textures so nice. also alot of things like window heights, door size etc i dunno whats the measurements. also dunno where got ceiling beam etc etc... so hard to draw....
