DNKY 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2009 Hi all. Had been reading this forum for at least a year. Like a lot of people, me and hubby had been trying our luck to apply for a flat from HDB, but we had been luckless. Finally ventured into the resale market and brought a 3 NG flat. Had started renovation since Jan 12 2009. Is going to post pictures ans share this whole renovation process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DNKY 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2009 Sigh. Not too sure if its the server that got problems or its my comp 's problem, it's really unstable now and it's it taking me forever to upload a few photos. Will try to upload more photos soon. My hubby and I actually collected our keys in Dec 2008, and only then we start sourcing for an ID. From information we got this forum and with frenz recommendation, we visited a few ID firms such as Mr K from Ideal H, Mr H from Impress, Mr Kel from GPlan, Mr Just from Weiken, Ms Pam from Homeworks etc. In the end, we shortlisted 2, and with due consideration, we chose Mr Just from Weiken. Total cost of reno at the moment will be abt $34,000, including the re-wiring works. Location of house is in Tomato Town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DNKY 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2009 Is it going to be a designer unit DKNY? Oh just noted...it's DNKY. hehehe. Do show us more pics.... Yup. It will be a total makeover as the previous owner only did some minor reno prior to their shifting in about 8 years back, thus maintaining the "80s" look. I did not keep anything except the windows and the alu grills in the kitchen and the master bedroom. I replaced the windows and the grills along the coridoor with the sliding type and wrought iron grills. Hee, DN is my hubby initials and KY is my initials,thus the formation of DNKY. We even have DNKY fabricated into the house main gate design. Can't wait for the gate to be installed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
