Livsingapore 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2017 Finally a chance for a breather after most of the works are done and a bit of time to share some good lobangs here. Hubby and i had to rush our ID as we hope to complete everything before cny, fortunately, he did not fail us. More on him later. First the story. Unit is about 1200sf and we predicted quite a bit of work done as the previous owner's design taste didnt fit us at all. We decided to source for contractors as we thought the cost was lower. After getting a few quotes from contractors and an Id, we were not too sure whether to still use a contractor as they are no frilles and generally we are on our own when it comes to any extra design elements. Somehow just didnt click. The ID was professional but we also felt the chemistry just wasnt there. Quite headache as we were trying to rush our reno before cny and it was already Nov.

Livsingapore 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) We met a fren who was also doing up her place and she recommended Felix from Space Alchemy. We did a search on the forums and there wasn't much info so we were a little apprehensive at first. Fortunately after the meet up with him and a discussion on the theme, we knew he was The ONE. Felix is very quick to spot the DoS and Don'ts.. there were some that the previous contractor and ID failed to spot and we are so glad he did, like how we could modify our current kitchen instead of redoing it and yet maintain the same feel. Will update more on that later. Edited January 11, 2017 by Livsingapore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Livsingapore 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2017 Qoo10 and lazada were fantastic places to window shop and my hubby used the special coupons to offset bulk purchase. We got the amasco Triniti fan from qoo10 at a reasonable price. Mega discount store had some good qoo10 offers too! check out this offer from qoo10, free fryer with coffee machine, omg. needless to say, we got one set, haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
