Jeep3 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 Some pictures of the house before renovation.The place had been vacant for almost a year hence it looked so rundown especially the Master Bedroom floor tiles, all popping.The sellers migrated about a year ago and left the place to slowly deteriorate Initially thought we can negotiate the price down but agent die die said cannot We went to see a few EMs in the east but they were all grabbed up like hotcakes!And so when we found this one, we told each other, must BUY first! Haha... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeep3 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) These were the layouts suggested to us but being on the conservative side, decided not to go with the 1st but the 2nd layout.LOVE the openness of the 1st but no choice, we do heavy cooking at times and being malays, just imagine all the rendang fumes! We told our ID that we just want a simple house with Black, White, Grey and maybe just a small dash of colour.Nothing too fanciful but we want impact for the Master Bedroom Gosh, I cant wait for the huge island to be up. Its like a dream still! Edited December 20, 2011 by Jeep3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeep3 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 Tiles were selected mostly by our lovely ID. As we have 2small kids, our energies are all channelled to running after them rather than choosing ha!We simply cannot bring them along to every tile shops, accessories shops even though we wished we could.Those of you who have kids will definitely understand what I am talking about I guess we are very easy clients, as we leave the majority of decisions making to her.If we are not able to go to the shops, she will take pictures and email us for us to choose.

potatoes 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 Hi Jeep3, thanks for sharing. Glad to have u sharing your EM reno experience. Will visit your blog every now and then to hear your story You mention u can't really go to see the tiles personally.... cos u need to look after your kids.... Perhaps u can ask ur ID to pass u the samples as well. I still think you should also feel the texture of the tiles before u decide:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for dropping by.Yes, she did pass us bags of tiles, books of laminates to look at. But instead, we told her not to bring so many! Me and my husband are not the very choosy types so we told her to bring 2samples of every kind so we can just choose A or B. ha!we are that simple, and lazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeep3 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2011 As me and my husband work both day and night shifts(kids...) we have no time to go and monitor the site.The photos were all provided by my ID. I really felt happy to have found her although she is quite new in this line. I found her through Home&Decor magazine and Squarerooms magazine on the October issue cover and later found her on RT as well!I guess most of you would have guessed who she is. It took me many weeks to finish reading her blogs! really pengsan.. Up till now, we are really very pleased with her services and she is always very accommodating with our late meetings and discussions. She is full of ideas but we also reminded her to keep to our budget. If its out of our budget, she will try to get it for us and of cos, along the way we did get some freebies also!We are still trying to squeeze her for more. Who wouldnt right?
