haha, yup, he oredi used the Sketch Up programme to do a sketch on what he wants to see in his flat... heh... =p when we finally get the keys for our flat, i'll post the sketch... if i know how... hahaha... will do my own t-blog too... inspired by all the t-blogs i've seen! n wanna record down all that we've done... ^_^

and yeah, hubby will know what we both like, n all, so design will be catered to our own taste... nothing wrong with ID, just tt, sometimes some ideas hard to put in words, n sometimes inspiration comes and he'll go update his sketch... LOL..

glad to know ur house is almost done! =D sooo exciting... can't wait for my turn... hehehehe... =p

Hahaha...your hubby just like me don't want ID cos the house should be what I want it to be not the ID (My family and I will be staying there not the ID, so is my comfort feeling)....I read 10 over magazines to get ideas before doing my house now. It almost completed soon. But I realise painting need a few coats and will be the last thing to do when all furniture are in (cos the movers may knock here and there, dirty or worse hit and crack the wall).

hehe, yeah, initially i didn't get what he meant... cos there was one flat, which i REALLY liked cos don't need to do renovation, but it was also already have a higher valuation price cos renovation was done about 7 years ago... I think it was about 238K... but owner wanted 15K COV, n i was thinking, why not, since we got 15K cash, we can afford mah... but he doesn't want because the renovation is 7 years old already, n not to his liking... (actually nt mine perfectly also, but was thinking that at least don't need to renovate, etc) so end up never buy... imagine if we bought, wah, 253K for 3-room flat... compare to if we bought one that needs renovation, valuation only 200K - 210K, plus renovation, the extra 43K can do ALOT more... lol... =p

n yup, i think end up that is his point, cos he initially also looking for flats with little renovating needed, but the reality of the flats at the area we're looking for, abit impossible, otherwise it's asking for too much COV which makes it not worth it at all... -_-

Now i get what you mean. :)

I do agree with your hubby. Since you guys already have the intention of renovating, and tendency is you will end up renovating practically the whole house.

hehe, yeah, included in the renovation! LOL... our budget is 20K bah... so we'll just compromise on the not so important things... like if hacking is too expensive, maybe we hack lesser area, other areas just do overlay, that kind of thing lah... =p also, for those items we want, like portable bathtub, nice stereo system lah, retro fridge, etc, we'll save tt for as and when we save enough money... =)

You forgot to factor in kitchen cabinet, kitchen top, etc....

That cost money too!

Maybe u can try what I'm doing for my toilets and kitchen walls and flooring.

Almost complete, less the PVC piping to spray the same color of the wall.

Don't need to hack the tiles at all.

HI bluegurl82,

I think it is better to have ard 3-4 quotes before you really decide. As for the tiles that you mention, we do not really know the sqft for the area.

And the material and quality for the tiles as well.. from china, malaysia for even italy? China products looks good nowadays, but still is well known for the low quality and price. I would prefer for Malaysia instead. cheap and long lasting, better than china products...
