The 3D looks fine I guess. You're not going to have shower screens in your toilets?

Rem to keep the door and gate open when you go to the house tonight. not good for you to be shut in by yourselves. Are the agents going? Some neutral parties will be good.

annjoy, 3d drawings may look nice, but they are not drawn to scale (ie. not realistic) so when implemented, it won't look like what you saw. i suggest you ask them to draw one that is to scale. at least space planning (first thing any ID willl do) should be to scale.

Your 3D drawing of the MBR is also another point of concern. It is also not drawn to scale. The bed looks like king size and your wardrobe looks quite deep. Are you sure you have such a big space to put your 1.2m vanity area? even if you put them side by side, 1.2m (vanity) + 0.6m (wardrobe) + 2m (bed) is already 3.8m

Your bedroom's width (when bare) is only 4m. that means you have 20cm of space between your bed and your wardrobe and no space between your bed and the planter box area. If you want to put side tables on both side of your bed, you can have 10cm wide side table on each side. Not practical

oh yah, please be very careful. personally, i would ask the police if they can help me clear these "unauthorised people" in my home.

also hope you are still holding on the agent's commission. no completion, no money

Pinkpetter, you've been around renotalk long enough to see loads of 3D. Is this something that is common u think? I mean, cos I do want to push Johnny for the best he can do.. I am just wondering is this something nice to most people....

Yes I will have 1 shower screen in MBR. But cos the stupid MBR entrance is right in front of where the shower will be, when people step into the MBR toilet, it's the "WET" area already.. -.- Am thinking whether to spend about 2K, to bring the sink out (like the 3D) and change the entrance to toilet so that the door opens up to the toilet bowl (aka the DRY area)

the 3d drawings look okie. is that what u want? if that is so, then shouldn't be a problem.

u should get someone to go with u tonight.

hi mickey, thks for the concern. johnny is sick today so i din go.

yes, i will make sure there is someone going with me. not just me alone.

if you came to a house that look like that, would you think its nice?

I know in reno, most impt is what i like... i'm just getting general feedback on the 3D to see what i can improve on.

So after pushing Johnny, here's the revised drawings:

LIVING/DINING ROOM:

KITCHEN

BEDROOM VIEW 1

BEDROOM VIEW 2

Definitely nicer than the 1st drawings. But isn't it funny to have the door open up to the wet area instead of dry?

Hope the meeting turns out fine.

Hi ossify,

I realise it is not exactly to scale. The sink that area looks too big and there is a wall right at the side of the sink.

Regarding the measurements u estimated... the bed is supposed to be queen size... does it make things better? Oh and the wardrobe is not double depth. It's the normal wardrobe depth that just opens two ways.

I know i dont have space to put side table but i din realise it was going to be only 20cm?

4m width:

- 1.7m queen bed

- 0.6m depth of wardrobe

- 0.9m vanity + sink

= 0.8m left of walking space all around.

What do you think?

2m is usual for a queen bed? If that's the case, I have.... 0.4m of empty space left on both sides of the bed! Cannot be the ID knows this and still propose it right? Cos if there's only 20cm of space, I can't even open the wardrobe door! Omg, am so worried now.

**Ok I'm back. I did some measurements

The current queen bed i am sleeping on seems to be about 1.5m since I, who is 1.65m is "longer" than the bed... On websites, a queen mattress itself is 1.4m... plus bedframe, it will be able 1.6-1.7m?

20cm of space is unacceptable. 40cm is not too bad right?

P.s.: thanks ossify. great inputs

20cm of space is unacceptable. 40cm is not too bad right?

P.s.: thanks ossify. great inputs

40cm is bad. can your wardrobe door open? can you walk comfortably between your bed and wardrobe with 40cm? Minimum is 60cm, 1m would be good.

My suggestion is to push your bed as close as possible to the corner and you will have 80cm space between your wardrobe and your bed.

Ya funny right! I was thinking whether I should spend 2K to change the entrance

If I were you, I would change the entrance because changing the WC would be harder.

I would also have a corner sink in the toilet so I can wash my hands before opening the door (unless you don't have doors to your toilet)

But I will not spend $2k for changing the entrance. I would spend $200 to hack down the wall between MBR and toilet. I would spend another $300 for a (clear or tinted) fixed glass panel to cover the wet side of the bathroom. That's $500, not $2k.

See, think 2k is too much for changing the entrance lei.

Queen size mattress should be 1.5m x 1.9m. King size is 1.8m x 1.9m.

Hi Annjoy, I agree with the others... $2k is way too much.

I just had a look at what I'm paying. We had the original entrances to both the toilet and bathroom (they were two separate spaces) sealed up, the wall between the two demolished, a wall between the bathroom and what was an alcove demolished, and a new entrance created... and the total was $720 (plus the cost of a bi-fold door).

[annjoy 0]

Queen size mattress should be 1.5m x 1.9m. King size is 1.8m x 1.9m.

Mickey, 1.5M is the width right?

Ok.. I shall redraw and replan. revert shortly.

hi mickey, thks for the concern. johnny is sick today so i din go.

yes, i will make sure there is someone going with me. not just me alone.

if you came to a house that look like that, would you think its nice?

I know in reno, most impt is what i like... i'm just getting general feedback on the 3D to see what i can improve on.

i would say nice and decent.

base on the 3d drawings, the kitchen cabinet will be white and wood-like laminates. i cannot be sure but base on the few catalog on laminates i seen, there are not many glossy wood-like laminates. other reno mates can shed some lights on this too? are u intending to us glossy white laminates + non-glossy wood-like laminates? i seen one such combi real life but the effect is not very nice.

i admit common toilet looks out of scale but in any case, toilets look quite bare wih onlu the necessities install. so u need to 'touch up' on it to bring out the resort feel if u are going for it - eg.pebbles, candle holder, etc. i remember u want somethin cosy. does resort-feel constitute cosy to u?

overall, i feel this design is very 'homely', but albeit less modern. this is cosy and subtle to me. reminds me of something which i seen - http://loydpek.blogspot.com/2007/03/latest...west-st-93.html. i think this design is similar to what johnny propose for u.

lastly, must ask urself is this what u really what u want. our opinion doesn't matter that much so long as this design theme is what u are going for.

Mickey, 1.5M is the width right?

Ok.. I shall redraw and replan. revert shortly.

yup. 1.9m is the length of the mattress - head to toe. hard to describe, i believe u understand what i mean.

40cm is bad. can your wardrobe door open? can you walk comfortably between your bed and wardrobe with 40cm? Minimum is 60cm, 1m would be good.

My suggestion is to push your bed as close as possible to the corner and you will have 80cm space between your wardrobe and your bed.

Can, but there is this indent cos of the pillar... you know what I mean? If I move it to the corner (which I don't mind), some part of the bed frame (where the head is) will not touch the wall wor...

I got to ask Johnny what's the width of the cabinet door...

If I were you, I would change the entrance because changing the WC would be harder.

I would also have a corner sink in the toilet so I can wash my hands before opening the door (unless you don't have doors to your toilet)

But I will not spend $2k for changing the entrance. I would spend $200 to hack down the wall between MBR and toilet. I would spend another $300 for a (clear or tinted) fixed glass panel to cover the wet side of the bathroom. That's $500, not $2k.

Oh I never thought of the fixed glass panel! How nice! great great idea... Probably tinted... but $300... can get meh?

And how to have a corner sink in the toilet if I change the entrance to open right at the toilet bowl?
