Construction Of A Small Home

Recommended Posts

Paid our ID the second payment last night and we are now waiting for the reno works to start.

Sharing our second batch of purchases from Taobao.

Kitchen tap, chose one that does not come with the pull out feature as we are getting an attached water filter.

Hi sharonk3001, have not tried because not installed. Will review once they are running. But i think pressure may depend on the estate also not just the fitting.

Went to Mega over the weekend to buy some of our appliances, namely the washer, dryer and refrigerator.

We didn't buy a TV because we are inheriting my mum's 46" Samsung. Both of us hardly watch the TV and this is really not a priority. My mum has been wanting to get a curve TV thus she is taking this as an excuse to give away her 1 year old TV. We gladly accepted together it together with a soundbar.

I would say Mega's pricing does not differ much from other major electrical stores, but their service was really satisfactory. Below are the stuff we bought.

10411104_10152399076925728_4380398889745

430L Samsung refrigerator RT43H5007SL, $900.

10849813_10152399076930728_3069573071685

8 KG Samsung washer WW70H5200, $900.

10850154_10152399095470728_8468166401330

7KG Electrolux Dryer EDV705, $580, the reason why we didn't buy a 2-in-1, the hubs say if spoil 2 things spoil together.

This is the TV my mum bought, we thought it's really a good deal. Samsung 55" Curve TV UA55HU7200KXXS and comes with a free curve soundbar HWH7501 worth $999 and $200 Robinson's voucher. She paid $3099 for it.

Hi Sappyd, ours is from Floor xPert but arranged through our ID. The only reason why we used them is because of the colour. They have the exact colour I want. ID told us every brand is about the same the quality.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. which one did u use? the Pergo or the Lurf?

Managed to meet-up with a blind salesperson last night and confirmed on the quote on the spot. Got to know Michael from Neuve curtains through recommendation from a family member.

Chose white wooden blinds with black ladder tape for both rooms and living. Initially only wanted roller blinds for both rooms to save some money but realised the difference is really insignificant.

Scrapped our previous clock before it reached us from China because we fell in love at first sign with this...

The clock cannot get any simpler and the hubs even commented it's like a chopping board (very very solid).

But it somehow attracted us and we stood in the shop staring at it for a good 3 minutes. We got it from the newly opened Crate & Barrel at Orchard Gateway for $69.95.

Works are not in lightning speed, but at least stuff are done. And we are happy with what we have (seen).

Closeup of the colour combi with the floor, I think they make a good match!

Home colour will largely be this grey, with darker tones at some areas.

Seem like as we progress, we have unconsciously leaned towards the industrial colour tones.

Carpentry are being fabricated now and once they come for installation, we should be almost done.

Does anybody has any ways to rid dust real quickly? Mr sensitive-nose-hubs feels unwell whenever we go up.

:help:

Painting has all been completed and lights installation is going on this Wednesday.

ID says kitchen carpentry would be in latest next week.

I realised I am pretty bad at taking photos because I don't know which part of the home to take.

Here's a photo of my completed TV wall and hallway.

We would like to specially mention the air-con contractor. Their finishing is really good and hubs is all praises for their workmanship. The air-con pipe can barely be seen after painting.

Busy busy week for us as the carpentry comes in.

And we have been really busy shopping at Ikea and coordinating all the furniture deliveries.

Carpentry are mostly up but there are some boo-boos as no renovation journey is complete with no hiccups.

Toilets' laminates are supposed to be the same but they somehow turned up different.

The bed is not aligned with the lighting point and the bedside drawer is too low. All these will be fixed and air-con installation is today.

Mistakes aside, the workmanship is good from what we see.

We will be starting our packing soon!

Happy new year all!
