Mandy & Lincoln - Renovating Our First Home

[mmycheng 0]

I decided to start this t-blog after my hb introduced me to this forum a month ago. Since then, I have gotten countless tips and useful advice.

So here's my little contribution showing snippets of our renovation process. It's still at it's teething stages, so I'll update it as and when more gets done at our new place.

For starters, you can find pictures of my flat before reno here...

Pictures of things that we have bought can also be found at...

I feel like an artist... doing up a house from a blank canvass...hee

welcome mmycheng, when u starting ur reno?

[mmycheng 0]

Electrical wiring works already started...but I think the real hacking and wet works will only start in 2 weeks. I still need HDB to do the cement screeding for my bedrooms...just submitted the form yesterday. A bit scared they wun do a good job... read a fair bit of 'complains' about shoddy workmanship from the forum.

Hi hi...more pics...this time of my interior designs...

Theme: Modern

Key colours: Yellow, Black, White and Grey

Main considerations:

1. Suspended cabinets as I've got a dog who likes to mark his territory all over

2. Functional for hb and me

3. As clutter-free as possible for easy cleaning

I think the colour combi works great! Very modern and different from the more common black red white. Great choice! ahhh I think the dog consideration is very impt. Like you I have to design my house around my pet too. no point having her destroy things.

I love the study and toilet the most.

Welcome to RT! I got the same colour scheme as the one in the Master toilet, right to the motif borderline for my common toilet. Only thing is that the floor tiles surface is rough & easily gets dirt marks unfortunately in comparison to the previous tiles

Pictures of my interior designs you mean? They are provided by my ID...think they use photoshop. I prefer it this way, enable me to visualise better and I bring it everywhere when shopping for furniture so see if they match. Hee

I bought my robots from this very forum..2nd hand sale! ... the guy who sold them for me has contacts for a reseller in the US who can ship it out for you. Otherwise, you can use Vpost.

Search under forum topic 'garage sales and exchange corner' then under thread named 'scooba 380'. You should be able to find the seller and perhaps you can PM him.
