enci 1 Report post Posted May 19, 2007 (edited) Hi guys, Finally my turn to document the before & after as well as the process to remake my old and ugly cum out-dated house which I have been living in it for the past 14 years ... Arghz ! It's very messy and ugly ... so please bear with it ...Although I have not decided to use Kelvin from Gplan or Kenny from Spacious, but I have quite definate to remake my house into the theme of "modern, simplistic & high end" Any comments and suggestions are welcomed as the process starts .....First ... Sharing with you guys the Buddha statue which i got from Japan and placed in my room ... Taking this chance to give praise and adoration to my Lord Buddha who gave me strength and blessings for the past 25 years of my life, guiding me in turbulent times, blessing me in times which I may not know and giving me shield in times of spiritual retrogression. My living room ( overly empty .... with the ugly kopitiam dinner table !) Edited May 19, 2007 by enci Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

applefreak 1 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 oh dear, if send them somewhere else more traumatised right?or maybe you can lock up one room with them inside so that they would be frightened?guess all that matters is how comfortable you are with the way your place looksfor me it's not important as long as i have somewhere to nua after work and my babies are happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantona7 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2007 Hi Bro, looking at ur room remind me of my previous room too. And most impt after ur transformation u still must maintain it neat and tidy. Maybe u can put ur dogs at some pet hotel, they normally charge on daily rate. Have u consider Intra Design, they are highly recommend by me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
