My 5 Room Bukit Merah Flat T-Blog

[timothyng27 0]

Hi everyone,

I've just gone for my first HDB appointment, and am extremely excited about transforming it into my dream home.

I've gotten the floorplan for my unit, and am now in the process of looking for an ID / contractor for this job.

I'll share my floor plan and inspirations shortly in a separate post once I find out how to upload images.

Regards,

Timothy

Ok here's my floor plan! Just Signed up with photobucket.

What we'd like to do:

1. Hack down the wall between BR3 and MBR to combine the rooms

2. Hack down the kitchen walls and replace with sliding / folding glass doors

3. Seal up the original MBR door, and use the BR3 door as the MBR door

4. Build a walk-in wardrobe which enters Bath / WC1

5. Concrete screed or brick feature wall at the living room behind the TV

6. Customized shelving for the TV console

6. Fill up the recess areas at the pillars between BR3 and MBR (becomes very unsightly after hacking) with:

- Bookshelf

- Built in bench with storage below

- Other ideas

These are just some ideas I have that I'd like to discuss with an ID. Let me know if you have recommendations.

More inspiration / design posts and pictures to come soon!

nice choice ..... have you found your ID yet?

Hi indira,

Have yet to find an ID, but I'm still in the process. Met May from 3D Innovative Design at Vertex building. She seems very nice, hardworking and accomodating.

Has anyone worked with her before?

I've also been contacted by Donald from 9 Lives, and Jena from D'Trenzo. Anyone can share their experience working with them?

I love the colours and the stainless steel look! Unfortunately my wife doesn't like wood or brown for some reason *shrug*

Looking forward to more updates. Hope you can realize your vision for your home. I'm sure it would be beautiful!

Hi hafiizh,

I'm not a big fan of "normal" wood and brown myself, but I do like some of the scandinavian ashen / bleached wood effect.

I'm still looking out for a contractor / ID though. Do you have any to reccomend?

Will be posting more pictures / details about what I WTB soon!

Dining chairs - Maruni Hiroshima

I love the simplicity and the simple clean lines of this dining chair - 2 different versions of the same series.

It's available at the Mandarin Gallery, but it pretty ex though. Will burn a small hole in my pocket

[timothyng27 0]

Here's a few dining tables I like (budget and local availability notwithstanding):

Maruni Hiroshima table:

Scandinavian design wood table frame by Tapio Wirkkala - Airtek

Branch table by Maurizio Marconato and Terry Zappa

Some other table (can't remember where I got this image from)

I also like one wooden table I saw at Cellini Sungei Kadut (about 700+) which was quite nice.

Like these tables very much, but if I take into consideration pricing again, probably either out of budget or burst a small hole in my pocket (again :S)

Anyone has similiar furniture to recommend at better prices? Hehe

Here's a couple of fans I like:

G Squared Gyrette - Price / Local availability unknown

KDK Yuragi - $380 Tai Yong @ Jln Besar

Haiku Kotuku - $595 Relite Speciality

Sycamore fan - $1388 at Elmark

All in all, I think I like the Haiku Kotuku fan the most, although somehow the image can't be displayed. How about you?

Hi boyblunder, I don't know why the image can't load - tried it a few times already.
