monkey3333sg 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 Greetings all We just confirmed a 38-year-old 3I unit two days ago. The previous owner kept the house in a very good condition. However, the design concept is different from ours. Therefore, we got to start preparing all the necessary information for the renovation. Hope this learning journey would be fun.

I am seeking everyone's vote about IKEA Vs ID for kitchen.-Living room: I love designer's build in full height cabinet, but the price is almost 8000.00! We have no choice but to consider Ikea again.-Bedroom: Bed head board +2 side tables already cost me 2k, It is soooo costly. Maybe we will switch to platform.Sincerely seeking help to enlighten us. thank you in advanced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
