My reno cost $16K.
Yes I will share more pictures soon.
Oh waving hello to my fellow BB resident! Which precinct?

$16k for so much carpentry + bathroom changes is very cheap!

Deposit 20%
30% Upon Starting
45% Upon Confirmation of cabinet
5% Upon Handling Over

At first i thought that 20% deposit is kind of too much but luckily my ID-contractor didn't run away till the end 

20% deposit is too much liao!

Yes I also thought that I was just lucky to come across my ID-contractor because I managed to convince him to throw in some freebies such as shelves for kitchen  What's more is that they are building their company brand so it could be the reason why they gave me such a low quotation.

Thank you for your kind words about my house. I just want a cosy home that make me want to stay at home!

*whispering* I used wallpaper to cover main door haha.. mainly to match my theme.. Not easy to DIY like that.

Oh i installed curtain between living room and foyer to contain air (from either ceiling fan or air-conditioner) inside living room. Secondly, it acts as "kitchen door" while cooking.. 3rd reason is for privacy when i open main door during daytime for ventilation. Still testing it to see if it, esp 2nd reason, works or not. At first, I asked for sliding partially-frosted glass door enclosed inside storage cabinet at that spot but I dropped it since it costs about $4K. I may install just sliding door ($1.6K) in future if necessary.

Hi Francis 

Care to share the cost for the reno ?

And how much is the cost for the flooring? I like tile flooring 

By the way yours is type 2 ?

Thank you 

Reno cost is around $21K.

Yes, type 2.

And the flooring is part of the OCS scheme when I purchase the flat.

Hi greenbunny, thanks for sharing your lovely and cosy home!  Very nice! 

But I wonder where do you store your "extra" stuff since there are only kitchen cabinets and wardrobe.

The bedroom has a L-shaped wardrobe. Can I know how many ft is it?  Has the right angle been "sacrifice" to a smaller space since it is an L-shaped?

Is this the original TV area? 

I thought the TV area is usually at the long side of the wall.  But this is a nice fit if you have reverse with the original plan.

Thank you

Ya, now i dun feel like going out at all... lol!

MsBunny use wall paper for her door too. I initially wanted to do that and my ID has agreed to help me to do it but at the end i didnt find a wall paper i like. did you wrap it white from the exterior too?

I also thought about putting something at the door to block views too. Can consider your way.

Mini Laundry Area

Yes I opted out of Optional Component Scheme so I did my own flooring - correct, it is vinyl. Vinyl flooring is part of my ID-contractor quotation. Vinyl flooring including skirting costs me $1900. The kitchen costs are as below:-

-To supply and install Laminated kitchen cabinet with abs trimming 15ft $ 1,980.00
-To supply and install laminated full ht cabinet cover pipe and dish rack 3ft $ 330.00
-To supply and install kompac plus tabletop single profile 15ft $ 1,425.00

 

Greenbunny, your kitchen (beside the flooring) cost less than 4k?  It is beautiful & very neat.

Since I opted out of OCS, there was no swing door at all. So I just installed sliding door instead (after removing door frame).

Yes after key collection at HDB Hub, I went directly to Bukit Batok HDB Branch (specifically your precinct's nearest HDB Branch) to apply for cement screeding. You have to provide your lock number (preferably - can be used for renovation guys) or lock key when filling the form out. They won't accept original house keys.

haha luckily i don't have toooooooooooooooooooooooo mannnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy things with me.. Maybe I am trying to be minimalist so I discarded unnecessary things though a bit painful to part with before moving into my new house! Actually I put other stuff into household shelter, bed headboard storage and coffee/console table. Now I still want to continue discarding unnecessary things

According to my quotation, my L-shaped wardrobe is 9ft. Not sure what you mean by the right angle but i assume that you are referring to the left side of my bed? Yes smaller space but no issue. I can push bed all the way towards the window but i chose not so that both sides can have bedside tables.

Thank you =) Oh i forgot to add.. $380 for L-shape cabinet base and $480 for tempered glass backing. So it totals up to almost $5K. I included glass backing at the last minute just for easy cleaning after cooking.

[lindatok 1]
