ynove 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2009 I've just signed my 1st Appointment and will collect collect keys from the seller mid-Oct. One of the attractions of this 5'I' apartment is the fact that we don't have to do much reno work, because it's actually move-in condition, with tasteful built-in features. Will add a few things to this well-kept resale flat like a lighting fixture, some glass doors, perhaps a built-in bookcase in study room, and so on. The rest is just furnishing (which I enjoy shopping for, immensely). I like clean lines in furniture, put together with eclectic pieces to set them off. Here's the floorplan, to start the ball rolling: Checklist of things to do, coming up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ynove 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) Haha... good point. It's about priorities, I guess. And I'll be accountable to my other half, so no impulsive spending sprees In fact, I've added my aim to do minimal reno in my signature, to remind myself! Great to see all the nice homes in Renotalk, I enjoy looking at so many interior design ideas. coffee_o, where have you moved to?
