lakaik 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2008 the challenging part is how to makeover the house to get the feel which i can call my own home Hope everything goes smoothly.....having read so many of the members' blogs, i do realised that there's a lot of work on the owner's part, and not just close two eyes and leave everything to the contractor Yes. Actually since this is your own house and somemore you do not do renovation every year, just spend lil effort to make sure everything turn out to your liking instead to leave everything to the contractor. Contractor just executor, you are the actual "designer". My principal is "do not make any assumption" cause other people may not able to read your mind. By the way, your house very nice move in condition! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ahwee 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) so what are you doing to personalise your new home? can't wait to see the WIP pix more like playing the role of destroyer cos i am gonna let my parents have the mbr. As such, I will be occupying the 2nd bedroom(middle in size out of the 3 rooms). Problem is this room used to be study room and the piece of wall is actually one whole piece of glass...My wife and I cant be sleeping in this room even though with blinds/curtains. Will feel very 'naked' as it face the dining hall. So seriously considering sealing it back. Tomorrow meeting fsm then end of week meeting contractor...after that will have better idea.... NOt forgetting that the house is still not under my name yet so cant do major reno such as hacking stuffs etc...so my options are really limited....probably play around with colours and wall decals etc...

snowie 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 Alternative way, instead of hacking off the wall, maybe you can put wall paper over it. Or customise the wallpaper like having you and ur wife wedding pictures and put it up. (I not sure whether it can be done that way or not. =P ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 yes i agree with snowie maybe paste something on the glass instead of sealing it up wallpaper or mural sounds like a swell idea :good: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahwee 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Hi guys, Thanks for the ideas. Actually thought of pasting frost type stickers on the glass wall....But i am a tad worried about the glass as my boy's simply cheeky and cant stop meddling with things. As such will explore dismantling it....will discuss with my contractor on friday see how things goes. Met up with my FSM today. Was told living room to be in white and part of it grey if desired. There goes the idea of playing around with colours. Mentioned to him i wanted to paste winkplay decals he wanted me to email him the pics see if its suitable. Lucky things are the stove and the glass wall are okay in their present location. Will update as things goes Edited December 17, 2008 by ahwee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
