ahlipz 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Hi All,~Beautiful Cozy Simplicity~Been surfing T-blog for ideas for my new flat. We have applied for BTO in Jan'09 and finally collected our keys on 19 Dec'11. It has been almost 3 years in waiting for our new home. CPF was being reset to almost zero!!This is our new home layout. With the bomb shelter being situated side by side to the kitchen, there goes my hope of installing an island in the kitchen Edited February 18, 2012 by ahlipz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terencetcw 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2012 Congrats on getting your new house...Nowadays the BTO houses like condo with long walkway to Master Bedroom~ You can have wall lights along the walkway to make it looks longer~ U can hack away service yard and the expose kitchen wall so that u can have a bar table instead?Looking at the kitchen space of 2.3m x 3.6 is kind a hard to put Island..I was told that Island may need at least 4ft x 6ft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahlipz 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) I agree with you Terencetcw that it is more do-able for a bar table instead of Island. Trying to explore towards that direction.More into the industrial theme but wifey is not too keen and prefers a simple cozy theme. These are some of the decors that I would like to share which caught my attention. Living Room (In reality, the ceiling is much lower and space is quite small)Colourful huggies on the sofaNice white subway tiles on the kitchen wall instead of the bathroom wall.Love the design on the floor tooCool lightings but kinda too cold for my liking. The bar top looks like an operating tableI find the support for the bed super cool but wifey is like "Duh?" Can double up for our bedroom slippers Edited February 18, 2012 by ahlipz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahlipz 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) We have collected my keys on 19 Dec and went to open house ceremony with my FSM.Overall, response from FSM is positive. Threw pineapple and oranges before we stepped in our new flat. HUAT ARHH!!!It was drizzling on that day and Chinese believed that rain will bring luck. Living Room (My pineapple is on the left of the room + a couple of oranges as well)Living room windows. Wondering why HDB don't make things simple and need to install three small mini windows panels on the left side Kitchen and main door entranceKitchen view. Remembered that I threw an orange towards the kitchen too Service Bay. Our metal rack was slated to one side. So remember to check!

Considering that there is almost so little space left after putting a king sized bed, we will not be able to have a decent size wardrobe in our master bedroom. It is a per-requisite by wifey to have a big wardrobe for all her clothing, so I agreed to a WIW, much to her delight.Master Bedroom. After squeezing in a king size bed, this whole area will be quite cramped. Window Bay at Master bedroom. How to make use of this area?The window grills will make life difficult for us to do clean the windows properly Bath room. Design is quite basic but it does look "normal"Hope the ID can work his magic (Finger crossed) Edited June 3, 2012 by ahlipz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Confidential 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2012 nice house! Btw, did you have to pay extra for all the flooring done in our living room and bedrooms? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahlipz 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2012 It is a premium flat. Therefore, the flooring and toilets are done by HDB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both are what I consider "designer" fans.Your unit is in Punggol Arcadia? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beluga 1 Report post Posted February 24, 2012 Gosh..... Room size for BTO nowadays are ridiculously small..... My study room is only slightly smaller than your MBR! Anyway, for the fans, if you have car, you can buy from JB. Old brand like KDK and panasonic should be OK. If you are interested I can tell you where it is. It's one of the popular place bought by many fellow RT forumers here too. They also provide the metal hook, so it's complete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since it's XTRA, i recall it doesnt come cheap. But do take a look at Defelio's blog. There is a picture of this fan in his completed pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahlipz 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2012 Saw the fan at Defelio's blog and he has done up very nicely for his place. It should be quite expensive at Xtra. My place is at Punggol Regalia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Almost game over after putting a king sized bed in it.As per my earlier post, I was against a WIW and was going for a Queen sized bed.Many of my friends advised me to go for a King Sized bed and not much space left for a wardrobe in the MBR. Will be doing a WIW on the middle bedroom. ID advise to hack the wall and creating a small passage to the WOW/ As for the door entrance, we will be removing the door and looking for idea to conceal this entrance.
