Here's the view from the living room..before they put in the grilles

Master bath..infamous leafy pattern

Common bath..yes leafy again

Truth is, when we first saw our flat, we saw flaws...and in this blog, we wish to tell it as it was. Getting keys after that 4 yr wait, well...our dream home was rapidly becoming a dream disaster.....

Hi J and G! Glad to see you start your blog! Please don't be too disheartened in anyway. You can do up your home to a very nice cosy place with some good renovation ideas. It doesn't have to be expensive nor excessive!

Hi J and G

Welcome to RT

anyway you will always get unexpected surprise with BTO as you could not imagine how it will look like till you actually got the keys so what we can do is to make the most out of it

Dun fret, just try your best to turn your dream disaster back into your dream home

Everyone will have stress and problems along the reno journey

Thanks for the warm welcome and encouragement guys ! Thanks also for your advice and sharing of your own reno experience too. We love to hear from you, so do comment away on our T-blog.

We want both good and bad comments on our home or your own experiences. Good as we can share your joy or you can share ours. Bad as 'misery loves company'...

Our own experience was indeed "unforgettable"... why ? Do stay tuned....

Don't bother about what other say about your house. It is you will be staying. Enjoy your reno process.

I'm still waiting for my reno permit to come out.
