The Experience: Our First Home

[summersann 6]

Fruitful day of shopping. Bought most of what we need in the kitchen and the bathrooms

Finally got the SMEG. The dream fridge.

Our microwave. SMEG technology, but made in China. Recommended by the sales person. A good-buy, considering we only use the microwave for heating up food.

Our hob. Didn't get the induction one in the end. Sales person recommended getting this since we don't cook much and don't need an induction.

I love the oven.

Our designers transferred their discount to us at the store, so we managed to save!

Also bought our toilet bowls, sinks, showers and taps from another store. Forgot to take pictures of those. But then again, it's mostly standard stuff.

It's definitely more expensive than the usual fridge We've always wanted one, and actually budgeted for the fridge when we were purchasing our house and budgeting for everything, so we were just happy to get our designer's discount!

I love the oven! It's very sleek, but the knobs are so cute in a kinda vintage way

Thank you!! We're on our way to HDB now to collect our keys going down to the place after to meet the designers and let them in so they can mark out the areas to hack. Tomorrow morning is the groundbreaking ceremony that the parents want to conduct, then hacking starts after (hopefully on time).

Shall take pictures of the vacant house later!

Have you collected your keys yet?

I must say this is a rather artistic shot. That's Mark right?

Anyway, I love the colour scheme you've/Artist Room has chosen for the tiles. I love neutrals, especially that combination. It's so relaxing and welcoming!

I think your house will turn out wonderful!

Thank you! yup that's mark!

We took a while to decide on the laminates, and are still somewhat deciding haha but Mark and Katy advised that we go for neutral colors because we're the sort who like colorful accessories.

Can't wait for things to get moving!

Spent about an hour after key collection today, taking pictures of the place before renovation starts tomorrow, and watching the designer and site manager mark the things to be removed/retained. It was quite exciting, hearing the designer go, "this one, don't want.", "this one, hack.", "this one, remove.", all over the house

May everything go smoothly!
