My New Love Nest At Jade Spring

Recommended Posts

I still remember 3 Years back,me and my fiance now wifey apply for Jade Spring. We were so happy as this is the first time we applied the house and we got it. Now only that, near my in law place.. So save cost on childcare... hahaa....

I expected the earliest I would get the house blk 448 is by 2011 July.. Like wat they say in the agreement.

But least I expected, a letter came stating that the "Probable Completion Date is Feb 2011"... The feeling is so great... Finally We are having a new home by ourself...

But it does frightened me that I am getting my new house faster than I expected... I am thinking about $$ especially.. Coz everything is new and house still need to be renovated...

But who cares.... I just go with the flow. Discuss with my wifey.. We plan to take a Renovation loan instead.. Use my savings for Furniture and Appliances..

Nearer to early Feb, I went into the HBD website to check when the date of key possession.... Guess wat? Mid Feb, the HDB webby showed that I will be collecting the Keys on 24 Feb 2011..

Hooray...

Anyway... this is the how my floor plan look like....

Looking for good contractors? Click here for your request

Before I went to get my House Keys, obviously we survey for our ID. Initially , I wanted for a contractor so I could get cheaper renovation. But after so much tinking, this is my first house, gonna make the best of it within my own budget.. so get a ID..

So I embark my journey to survey my ID.. I went a few recommended ID.

In the End, We decided to go for D'Trenzo@ Balestier, Id Name : Jorence.

We are impressed with his professional and experience with interior designing. Since our budget is 15k , he tried his very best to fit to my budget. He did..

Renovation for My Home :

20ft Kitchen Top & Bottom with solid top - Suspended Kitchen Cabinet with Lower Lighting

Windows for Service Yard

TV console

Full Height 10 ft Wardrobe

Wall to Wall Glass Mirror at the Dining

Shower Screen For Both Toilet

Painting up to 10 colours

Settee at MBR

etc...

at 14.5k nett.... No hidden cost... Plus Electrical Works..

Best thing of Jorence , anything I buy which need to be drill and fix, he will do it for me for FREE.... .hahah... Curtain track,shelves and etc.. he gonna fix for me..

In the Beginning, he told us that he will decide on the interior design based on his colour of his choice.. So I waited for 2 weeks as requested by him cause at that point of time it is CNY.. So give him face lah.... He also need to celebrate.. No rush for my side. Havent get my keys at that point of time..

After two weeks, I received the 3d drawings from him .. Actually I dont really like the colours that he play in this drawing. In term of Design, it is nice

and very modern.. But i told him about the bad news about the change of colours... the next day, we meet him at the office to discuss on wat we wanted. We wanted the colour to be different from other homes so far i saw... I chose 6 colours made up of Chocalate chip,pink and white..
