Nice squarish layout, you won't get that with the new flats now.

If I may suggest, why not knock the walls off the store and enlarge both bedrooms. You could reposition the door frames for both to face the living and you'd have much bigger bedrooms.

hihi

i did thought of that but i do need a storeroom, so any suggestions where i could build it? i wld like to hack the study room n build it somewhere else but i do not know where is a better idea.

Hi, I saw that you found my post too haha.. Yep our houses are really mirror image, but yours seems more well maintained than mine. Is yours the top floor unit too? I find the ceilings not that high for a top floor unit, somemore we are going to put false ceilings.. I think I jump abit can touch the ceiling already. Will post updates on my thread, so feel free to take a look.. although my reno progress is quite slow haha..
