reno journey

[compassvalenew2016 1]

Almost finished our 4-room BTO reno!  Finally!  Thank you to everyone who share info here - we really learn a lot.

This is our 1st reno.  We start looking at ID 3 months ago before we collect key.  It was very confusing for newbies like us.  All the quotes look so different. Finally we selected 1 ID and paid $1k after signing contract.  This is supposed to be for 3 d drawings.  But after collecitng money, his atitude all diffrent.  After we chase and chase, he finally give us 1 drawing which was completely not what we want.  We ask him to change and he kept making excuse.  But he also keep asking us to pay him 30%.  Heng we didn't pay!  After about 2 months, we are very heart pain to loose $1k but no choice we decided to give up.  A friend suggested we report to police but we don't want the trouble.  Then in Dec, my mother's friend told us about her contractor - she used him to make wardrobe for her masted bedroom.  Since we already had bad experence with ID, we decided to try the contractor.  Surprise, he can also do 3 d drawings and actually i really dont know difference between contractor and id becuase he was very proffesional.  Also very friendly and give us good advice!  The reno is alsmot finished - they stop work for 1 week + for CNY but next mon start again.  Cannot wait to move into our own home after staying with inlaws for 3 years!

So can anyone recomend where to buy lighting?  My contractor already help us buy LED but we want hanging light for dining.  Also, where to buy sofa besides Ikea?
