Hello Everyone,

Having been luring here for some time and its time to give everything back to the new and existing homeowners renovating their beloved home.

Wife and I have been paying the stupid $10 application for the new BTO flat and disappointingly got a very backend q number for the new flats. So i told my wife to F it and we went ahead in searching for a resale flat.

Remembered it was on the 14th day of the chinese 7th month that wife and i went to view a flat somewhere around the vicinity of my parent's home and paid the OTP on that night itself.

Lets cut the story short and collected my keys on 30th last month.

Floorplan:

Resale Flat:

Flat itself was build in the 70s, a 4rm with 98sqm of space and miserable small toilets.

Collected the keys and went up to view the flat:

Searching for IDs

After we have confirm we would want to purchase the unit, we went on to search for IDs and getting quotation for renovating our new nest. we have my bro-in-law, a few IDs friends and recommended by my ex colleague who create a blog here too: Huiqing He

Its really a hard time deciding who to go for as all of their design more or less are the same. After much consideration, we went to Eric from **dio.

In fact, their pricing are on the higher side compare to my BIL and IDs friends quotations. Why we choose the higher quotation? reason being that we would not want things to turn ugly if the design or construction didnt went the way we wanted and so i guess to avoid all the argument, we would rather pay.

Below are the 3D that he had proposed to us:

We're going for industrial Scandi look for the new house.

Oh, I see you have the problem with the pipes in the middle too. May I know what your ID is doing about that?

Nothing can be done to those pipes but we hacked the wall to combine 2 toilets together.. One side will be the shower area..

Yap! Master bedroom was too small to house all of our clothes, so we decide to build a walk in wardrobe..
