After months of liaising with our ID, buying trips around Singapore and endless trips to monitor the progress, we are finally done with our renovation process!

The best feeling was finally having our love nest to call our own which ended 2014 on a perfect note.

It's been about three months since we have shifted in and we have slowly got used to our own space as well as the daily chores that came together with it. Instead of heading out to town, our weekends were mostly spent chilling in our nest and enjoying our staycations.

Credits of pictures go to I-Chapter, our friend, MW and my trusty iphone6/sony cam.

ENTRANCE

We painted our front door white (originally brown) to match the Scandivanian theme. As you can tell, the hubs is a total LOTR fan from the brown signage on our main door.

LIVING ROOM

The platform area was a "suggested study-room area" which we didn't enclose nor do anything to it so that the living room will remain spacious.

One of my main concerns was having a huge shoe wardrobe to contain at least 100 pairs of shoes. And thanks to my ID for making it possible! The laminates on the shoe wardrobe were the same as the kitchen laminates and meter-compartment.

The hubby was a huge fan of swords and thus, this was another main criteria conveyed to our ID. It's even bigger than my shoe wardrobe and he is already thinking of extending it to the other end of the wall.

There's some storage space for more of his toys behind the sofa.

One of our fav features that we like was the 360 rotating television in between our cosy area and our sofa area. It allows us to watch television from the bar counter and dining area. Our ID has cleverly concealed all the television wires within the wall as well.







My favourite part of the house was the cosy area where we littered with cushions and bean bags.

KITCHEN

Our ID suggested a wet & dry kitchen which we were fully supportive of. The "wet area" was enclosed with an aluminium black framed door for our cooking while the counter-top area at the "dry area" was our chilling/drinking area.minimal

Also, the width was extended by hacking some parts of the walls to enlarge the space. We were both not a kitchen person but weirdly we have spent hours here trying to whip out something decent. Very fun!

Service Yard

Most items were supplied by HDB so we just had to add our own barangs and window grilles.

Walk-way

For our walk-way leading to the rooms, we had the brickwall connecting to our bomb shelter for a form of continuity, As for the bomb shelter, it was concealed using laminates (same one as the tv area) with a tic-tac door.

The door frames for the rooms were painted in black to complement the white doors that our IDs have selected as we didn't opt for HDB doors. Jazzed the area with some our favourite quotes, picture frames and lightings and that's it!

We love how it looks like at night with the warm lightings especially.

ROOM ONE

This room was kept bare with just a splash of mint paint to complement the living room's colours. It is currently our sports room before our kids come onboard hehe.

MBR

One of our best decisions made was listening to our ID to hack the second room due to the original small space. It didn't help that the original walk-way to the MBR was at a 90 degrees angle which made it look ultra tiny. That enlarged the room visually by at least 40% which made alot of difference.

As such, they had to conceal the original door opening of the second room and create a 45 degrees door opening (made with false gypsum board). The main bedroom door had to be shifted forward before the new door opening as well. Result: our bedroom now look so much bigger!

The colour themes were kept the same as the living room area, with the same laminates chosen for the side bed tables, tv and study area. For both the rooms, we overlay the flooring with matching vinyl flooring and chose a light champaign gradient Nippon paint to match it. Other walls were kept simple with pure white.

We really liked how our ID concealed the air-con trunkings (on the left) with a false triangle feature wall (that we could display pics and toys).

MBR TOILET

This was the only toilet that we spent our bucks renovating fully since it will be the most utilized. We overlay the floorings and walls while adding lightings and acrylic panels to make the toilet looks brighter.

We are glad we listened to our ID of choosing dark colours so the toilets won't look so dirty and at the same time, it had a cosy feel which we like. For the ceiling, it was painted in a light grey shade (same as the other toilet).

WALK-IN WARDROBE

My second favourite place apart from the platform for obvious reasons. It's a very happy feeling to enter my fashion space every morning to dress up!

The false gypsum board was in a white tone with gold handles to match the inner interior. I'm glad I insisted on a white & gold theme instead of a monochrome theme to make the original cramp space look so much wider.
