arwena 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) Say... your blog is pretty interesting plus, we do share some similarities. Using your highlights:My ContactorReliable, attentive (tho at times he's super bz). Reno just started last week. He was recommended by a friend & I went to their home before to see the renovation done. I am immensely satisfied with him.WetworksI am relaying the ones in the MBR. I hate pink. Leaving the common one alone to cut cost. Ironically, the block is pink.AirconGoing for Inverter. Planning to put up on all 3 bedrooms (MBR & study sharing an a/c). 2 white elephants hanging & trumpeting.Common Room Toilet DoorFreaking hate it too. ID convinced me its a good & expensive door. Oh well...MBR ToiletBlack rough tiles on 1 wall, dark gray ceramic tiles on the rest. Shower screen, new vanity table, bought this huge sink & cool tap, boxed up the pipes & changed door to frosted swing.MBR & Study (We hacked & combined)Due to the odd shape, we opted to fully custom made the MBR. 7ft Wardrobe, Bed frame comes with bottom drawers, 2 sidetables, wallpaper for above bed frame, a tv console & dresser. Study, we have a long table which stretches the whole wall.Paint ColorsMentioned before. Majority is white with a bit of black & 3rd color. Given a choice, i'd go all white with cement floors. But settled on being moderately minimalist with touch of cosiness.KitchenWe love island counters. Kitchen arghhh... so yeah.. doing the normal stretches of cabinets. Only the one opposite the sink will be suspended. Don't like the bottom piping underneath sink to be seen. White top (dun ask me which white) with black cabinets with a few black glass door. Kitchen sink was so ex. I was mentally computing the number of shoes I could have bought. Got us Rinnai cooker & hood.LightingsSame as yours I think. Chelsea Lightings? Haahaa..Damage 1.1K + another est 500-600 on false ceiling lights TBCFeature WallsNone. As we wanna swing our TV if we're seated playing MJ :xRoller BlindsFor bedrooms & side window of dining. Got a contact for it. Will do this last. Shoe CabinetMy original plan is also to build a shoe cabinet and seatee area covering the whole stretch of the entrance foyer. Price was ... So I was thinking of buying a workshop bench & yes, the bomb shelter will be renamed the shoe shelter. BalconyStill deciding btwn changing doors to white folding ones vs removal of door & construct windows. Hb said he worry that I have to clean it each time it rains. More like he for himself.Overall estimated damage: $33-35K not inclusive of electricals. Edited March 18, 2008 by arwena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keltong 4 Report post Posted March 21, 2008 Just for my aircon and grille up....the compressor cannot fit into the window and they have to remove one of the kitchen window. But don't trust them to fit it back (esp after the recent law on casement window), and my grille contractor was around ask them to fix for me. One look they know if they (the ac contractor) are using stainless steel rivet but it look all the same for me, lucky for me the grille/window contractor is around so I seek his advise. After they re-fix for me I feel more at ease liao.Also got my wallpaper up at my TV console area and where my bed will be. Have not seen the final result yet, will be going over to check later. *anticipating*Saw my neighbor downstairs almost all units (except 1) have fixed up aircon liao...and think some have moved in already. So fast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arwena 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 Hi Hi CandyAny pics to share with us? Now that you mentioned it, I personally feel that the kitchen space is really small. Sigh... my reno is just into 2nd week & I am already impatient. My friend came along to view my home. When she saw my MBR toilet, she went but when she see the common toilet, she went So we decided to make do with HDB's balcony doors & opted for relaying of common bathroom instead.
