Anyway gratz on the shortlisted and hope u decide on THE ONE soon Ya hor, that design. I remember one of the ID mentioned to me, the 3D design, at least will be revised for 5-8 times!!! OMG! lol....Anyway, what he said is quite true lar. More revision, more choices, then only you can have your dream house! Now is time to look for renovation loan. Anyone applied that before? They mentioned 6 times of your income. That will be household income or just 1 person income? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They mentioned 6 times of your income. That will be household income or just 1 person income? Should be 6 times applicant income and there should be a max too,typically $30K. I believe each applicant can applied individually(mean max 60k) as long as the qualifying requirement are met........ but then hor, if u can, do not take such loan lah....such loan are typically of high interest and the amount u borrowed has no appreciation value. (IMHO).... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcseow 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) hi..this one for u I kind of sneak a photo of the above when I was at Intradesign (my previous 2 reno ID). I kind of think it is nice for your wardrobe cum TV wishes. Normally, ppl will do the TV inside the wardrobe and then cover it with a door. This one has the TV outside which I think made it look classier. Its more like a TV feature wall with a hidden wardrobe then a wardrobe with a hidden TV.... It may not be clear but everything is a cabinet, including the dark color panel, If u take the TV location as the reference 1. The two huge doors on the left has the clothes hanger inside, normal wardrobe, with drawers etc.. 2. The two white panels at the bottom of the TV has the video/audio devices (starhub...etc) 3. Further down, the dark color are also cabinets 4. To the right, the dark color panels are also cabinets, housing DVDs, etc...... For your thoughts.....

ah_dun 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2010 FYI, u can loan for individual or both together. As long u provide at least 3mths pay slip and half yr CPF contribution statement. u need an original quotation from ID indicate both ur name (NRIC), full address and with their company chop and signature. mostly can b approve in 3 working day. =) Anyway this can only refer to RHB bank, Maybank dunno whether is the same. I also tried not to take.

wcseow 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2010 Nice!! Wah.. GG can do spying liao! It seems that the dark colored cupboards are smaller in depth than the white cupboards? yes, the left ones are as the depth of the small walls are thinner, mimicking a pillar i think, But the dark color below the TV are full depth. I remember seeing a player in there. BTW, the dark color actually have grooves..looks nice,,,, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see anything. Telling me cant connect to photobucket. Strange. Anyway, will try to check it once I got back home. Well, finally eventually, throughout an easy going weekend, we had finalized what we planned to do on the renovation. Start going for 2nd meetup with all the shortlisted IDs on this week and coming week to get the revised quotation and comparison after that. Will post up my to-do list tomorrow and let me know if you guys and girls got any comment! hehehe.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
