snaem85 1 Report post Posted September 16, 2011 Your home looks very spacious. Eh... you show the whole world your unit number ah? Don't want to pixelise or blanko it out?not so spacious compared to those 'lao jiao' place like chai chee. mine is only 112sqm. i ever viewed chai chee 5rms, it was 130++ plus valuation lesser than this house. nonetheless, buy liao so cannot complain! :sport-smiley-004: anyway, i'm okay about the unit number. i just need to make sure i don't offend any sis/bros here. heheh.

snaem85 1 Report post Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) $$$$ that is the word to describe this post. spent around 7+K on toilet accessories, lightings and wallpaper. truth be told.. tho i actually spend quite sometime researching @ RT for shops that sell items on the lower side, we were rather lazy/unwilling to go recce those shops and compare prices as we weren't incline for the hassle that awaits shall there are defects on the items. also, knowing that our ID will earn some commission from the shops he brought us to, we don't mind spending abit more knowing that if anything goes wrong we can always our ID to settle them for us. :bow: toilet accessoriesID brought us to t.a.p.z gallery which was located along balestier road. basically, we got everything that can be replaced in the house from there. stuffs like the sink, wc, tap and etc. we even bought the hood + hod and oven from there. as our mbr toilet will be on the 'dark side', we purchased a black wc and basin. tap for common toilet tap for mbr basin for mbr Edited September 24, 2011 by snaem85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snaem85 1 Report post Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) lightingschoosing the lights was such a headache. guess having too much choices ain't that good. ID brought us to designer lighting which was just beside *** boutique. we only bought 2 hanging lights; 1 for foyer & 1 for living room. decided not to buy too many hanging lights due to 2 reasons; maintenance & $$$. haha. :dancingqueen: hanging light for living roomwallpapertwo parts of the house will be wallpaper-ed. the foyer which is the entrance to the house and the tv console in the mbr. two different designs for each. the shop ID brought us was beside the 2 shops we went earlier. guess they are under the same boss?

snaem85 1 Report post Posted September 21, 2011 received the 3D pictures from ID. we were rather happy with it tho some stuffs which was discussed with ID were left out. 1) WIW was not supposed to be 'open concept' as it will be very dusty 2) the kitchen cabinet didn't include the portion for oven 3) few other minor stuffs not worth to be mentioned. we also didn't like the color combination for the kitchen as house concept was supposed to be grey/black/white but kitchen = brown. :dribble: also, the 3D didn't include the toilet. i wonder why.3D picturesfoyerliving roomoverall view of 'expanded' mbr + study area mbr wiw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strikingreality 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2011 Usually drawings are provided for places where there are a lot of carpentry or customized furniture as there is a lot of difference with/without the carpentry. Toilets don't change that much that's what my ID told me. But we bugged him into giving us one as there is a vanity counter.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
