pinkwhale 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2012 I saw that in Ikea too. But I don't like those furniture where you can assemble by yourself. The dimensions of the pieces may not fit nicely after assembled.No choice... Cheap mah.. So just buy to use first ba. So far we only bought those small items from ikea like step stool, coffee table etc.. My hubby likes to assemble furniture haha he say gives him a sense of satisfaction haha.. So let him do it then.

pinkwhale 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2012 Hi pinkwhale love your place! Can you share your contractor contact and company?Whats the difference between ID and contractor?Did you design through an ID before the contractor started Reno?And your total cost too!Hi JeechI had pm u for the contact IMO the difference between ID and contractor is just the 3D drawing. There is no 3D drawing provided unless u want to pay extra to get someone to draw. If u r someone with total no clue how u want ur house to be then probably a ID is good cos ID will come out with a total design and show u the artist impression through 3D.But if u know what u want to do for ur place and only need some advice on the feasibility and maybe some material suggestions or some ideas needed for little area then a contractor will be good. But of cos u must find a contractor that share similar taste and views as urs.. Otherwise will be like chicken talking to duck and outcome can be horrible.As for work co-ordination I feel contractor is a more handy man than ID. As u see most contractor r not those young young boys they have real on site experience and my contractor is at my site every single time when there is on going work to check and ensure. But for ID I see many cases if home owner is there but ID maybe only goes to site once a week.. But of cos there are good ID around.. But maybe too young ID not as good experience and they still need to learn from their subcon. So some things can do or cannot do they may not know until their subcon tells them...As for my designs I did research through magazines and approach many ID for quotation and steal one or 2 ideas from them and put together all the ideas ourselves together with my contractor's help. So no 3D purely by own visualization. Super worried that it will not turn out good but I guess I'm quite lucky that the place turn out not bad.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for sharing. Hi caprichooThanks for visiting my blog and liking my home. Welcome to Tblog and congratulation on getting ur keys soon. U must be so excited !!I had pm-ed u the contacts and the cost of the WIW and just to share more it's bases on 19ft and without doors. I'll try to take more picture the next time I go up but it's quite tough as the space is limited and the angle is not wide enough. Is there any particular part u want to see? Inside the WIW or outside? If inside any particular area like the L shape or which side so I try not to miss out. Plus now some clothings is in so maybe a little messy already haha...
