marshmallow 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 a little background about our new place... at first, we planned to start hunting for flats some time in Aug last year, so that house reno and wedding prep can be spread out... However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, we were not able to do so until early Feb this year and unfortunately, flat prices and COV shot up by A LOT during this period after 2 weeks of intensive house viewing, we have come to our new home... it was love at first sight my hubby and i have very different taste... this is the first time that we finally found something we both like immediately, we know that this is the ONE~ this is the lake view that we fell in love with once we stepped into the flat....

leechaorui 2 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 Welcome to RT. Hope you have a successful reno journey. Your plan looks nice and the place is big (close to the size of newer 5room flat). I think there is room to make it unique. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
