Danmify 16 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Scandinavian Modern Farmhouse Inspired Hi Renotalk Folks & Friends, Firstly, many thanks to a lot of the Brothers & Sisters here for the Reno sharing and valuable tips/notes over the past 12 months. I learnt that over the course of planning, it is rather difficult to keep to the budget as we built our dream house. My initial budget has increased almost twice! From wanting to keep it simple and save cost, we have decided to "invest" more for the long term and keep ourselves happier. Preparatory stage (Mar - Aug):- 1) Decided on the overall theme2) Decided on my essential renovation requirements (family lifestyle, basic fengshui, etc) + Optional requirements (more carpentry, etc)3) Meet up with recommended ID/contractors to compare quotes and doing research on them.4) Request to view the ongoing projects for the shortlisted ones to check on workmanship and quality.5) Confirm actual site conditions(amount of natural light, wind conditions, ceiling beams, etc) and then reassess my design plans, subsequent material selection and colour theme.6) Enjoying the Reno Journey Edited September 13, 2014 by Danmify 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danmify 16 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Our Reno Requirements:- 1) To hack off L wall at kitchen entrance + make good 2) To hack off L wall at Bedroom 3 + make good 3) To dismantle SY windows & Bifold door + touch up 4) To construct 2 x bottom kitchen cabinets with Quartz top, ABS trimming, handcrafted barn doors with soft closing mechanism 5) To supply labour to install lights, ceiling fan, install new /relocate electrical points & install kitchen/bathroom accessories 6) To paint whole house with Nippon/Dulux (4+1) 7) To install 4 doors (2 Veneers / 1 wooden lourved Bifold / 1 sliding barn door) 8) Craft Brick Feature Wall 9) 9 ft suspended Study table along Bedroom 3 Windows area 10) 5.5 ft full height Wardrobe in Master Bedroom 11) 4 ft full height storage cabinet in Living / Dining Area 12) To lay HERF flooring for whole house except BS, toilets & SY We hope the house will turn out spacious, well ventilated, hopefully lots of natural light and will be going for low furniture with a woody feel. Leaning towards white / neutral base colours with a dash of blue / light pastel colours as accent colours and probably a subtle hint of polished industrial or Scandinavian elements. My wife dislikes the overly raw/distressed /extreme look and mirrors. We like the house to be clutter free and will be counting on the bomb shelter for the additional customized racking storage since we are not doing much carpentry.

Danmify 16 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) :dancingqueen: We will make space for green plants, 2 or 3 cats and some posters/painting on Animal Photography in the house. Hopefully we can get the right furnishing to complement such a white based colour scheme. Considerations for furnishings:-1. Add texture2. Clean lines3. Light Colours4. Low and not Bulky5. Can complement surrounding or not make the space cluttered6. Too much personality to resist 7.
