We use Outlook interior for our ID after many considerations and comparisons we decided they gave us the best quote (we don't have a big budget here but it's alright don't despise small beginning) today we started hacking sooo...

As we all know, the tiles that we choose and the cabinet laminates will really set the tone for the concept of your house. And to match our resort style thing we use more soothing colors and a more earthy ones like stone(grey) and wood( brown)

so here is my kitchen tiles

my bathroom tiles

And my favourite! kitchen cabinet laminate

I tried to check online any picture of kitchen cabinet that uses such laminates and none! i can't find anyone using these laminates but that make it even more exciting!

below are some lamps that i am going to put up in my house

bird cage lamp comes with E27 13W Phillip bulb (S$219) from www.theupperroom.sg

and for an even more nature loving look, a garden lamp comes with E27 5W (S$49.90) from www.theupperroom.sg

yoohoo!! can't wait till my house is done!!

Jurong West 66x series?

[asychanbaby 10]

hi ocean eleven! close~~~ it's Jurong West 65x series actually, are there difference between their layout? you seem to be an expert in this area huh

[alfredt 27]

LOL ocean is RT's resident taobao and floorplan expert

[asychanbaby 10]

Wow! Taobao expert too?? I have always wanted to try buying things from taobao and been asking my husband to help me with it because I can't read Chinese at all but he seems not to be as hopeless as me though he has been learning Chinese since he was young!! really wished I have learnt Chinese earlier but well, my government didn't allow us to learn Chinese then so maybe ocean can help me if I want to buy anything hehehe

hi ocean eleven! close~~~ it's Jurong West 65x series actually, are there difference between their layout? you seem to be an expert in this area huh

Yes, 65x series, I saw one unit exactly the same except for an additional curve balcony.

Very challenging layout. Thought the floor plan looks to separate out living and dining area but making it very difficult to have a proper living orientation.

You have only 1 wall to play with but with the sofa's position is left in the open dangling.

Kitchen can go for open concept but space allowed is left much to be desire as well.

Then and again, the unit I saw was done up tastefully though.

i am guessing that you are indonesian ?

@oceaneleven finally someone got me! I told my sister and hubby and they say the layout is fine. I really don't like the idea of separate dining and living you can't watch tv and dine at the same time! But we decided to get the house anyway because we bought it at 28k below valuation First thought of hacking the bedroom near the main door and move it to the current dining area. So dining and living will be together. But hubby says cannot change too much of the layout if not will have problem next time when selling the house. So decided to only hack the wall separating dining and kitchen so that the house will look brighter and airier and sofa will be against the living room window. Do u have the link to the house with the similar unit to mine? Maybe I can get some inspiration from there.

@Takaishi the website is still under construction anyway it is selling at 229 come with a 13w Phillip LED bulb can choose warm white or cool white diameter is 30 cm and height is adjustable. But height of bird cage is 60 cm. When the website is up I will post it here

@alfredt , spot on! I am Indonesian
