Hi guys,

I just received the letter from HDB informed me my first apt is 10th Sept.. long way i know, but want to share the joy with u guys.. cant wait actually.. the occupier only me and my fur kid

I guess HDB's floor plan for 3I are pretty standard.. it a super original condition so need to do quite alot i bet.. but have absolutely no idea in term of theme.. so need all the experts here.. here is my floor plan...

Welcome, fellow 3-roomer.

Frm ur nick, I presumed tt u are a lady? If u doesn't cook much, u may wish to consider doing open kitchen concept, as well as hacking the wall between ur mbr and common room. These will open up ur unit to make it widen for a typical 3-room hdb.

Since u hv pet, keep ur theme and furnishings simple. Probably u'll need lotsa space for the little one to roam about

Hv fun.

Thanks for the welcoming Rover! bingo! me lady.. hehe.. I love to cook 'unfortunately' but i will still keep the kitchen open concept cos of the space, dont like wall.. I was wonder if i can extend the toilet and bathroom till the utility room? cos i will get claustrophobia in small enclosed area..

U can't extend the toilet to the utility room cos of the wet area policy of toilet. Anyway, u cant hack the utility wall cos its prefab. U may wish to hack off the wall between the toilets, and extend out the wash basin into ur mbr. Also to hack and shift ur mbr/common room wall to make ur mbr bigger. Juz some ideas u may wish to ponder abt.

The living marble flooring also nice.... Not easy to get marble so should keep too.

As for utility, like what Rover said, it's prefab so no hacking. And it's difficult to get approval to extend toilet/bathroom due to water proofing needed.

Congrats in getting your own flat! It would be fantastic, I am sure.

Thanks guys! yes the kitchen's floor really nice, hence i am keeping it.. but the compressed marble in the hall abit challenging to up keep and it make the house look kinda down.. so gotta go..

Also to note if u are retaining the existing kitchen tiles: make sure ur ID hv similar tiles for replacement cos there's bound to be some hackings, eg removal of existing cabinets, sink etc, which may damage the existing tiles.
