Welcome Feli!! Finally en route to "My Home". :good:

For the kitchen, on the microwave side, ever consider to do top hung as well?

I guess price is not that big of an impact.

any reviews on LG tv? We went to many shops (best denki, gain city etc) to ask about LG 4k Ultra HD and full HD..some told us if we get the 4k ultra hd tv, no matter what kind of shows we watch, it will be converted to 4k, but we thought that cant be possible because for now not all broadcast shows are having this 4k technology..there is 1 salesman who asked us to get the full HD..as 4k is very new technology..full HD is sufficient..we duno who to believe? haha..any reviews?

4K is new, this LG tv will only upscale/interpolate our normal prog/movies to 4K, so not "true" 4K. but not saying tat this TV is lousy, jus for the moment, not able to fully utilise tats all. Most impt, can fit your budget :)

Thanks Chilarvet!! :good: ..Ya!! we cant wait to see our laminate feature wall..he quoted me 6ft for around 1k plus..ours will be more to light greyish type of laminate..=)

Thanks simple13 for the feedback! :) ..yes, thats what i understand too! that they will upscale all our normal programs/movies to 4k, but recently 1 salesperson told us that this is not true..not all normal programs can upscale..is it true? haha..

we are still thinking whether to get LG UHD instead (no need 4k and 3D)..i think 3D is useless, dun really need it..the 4k not much difference compared to the others (without 4k) but u are right! it goes down to budget..haha..

Hi Felicia,

Mind sharing the est cost of your reno?

TIA! :)

Hi Whinypooh, my reno est cost is abt 30k (with electrical works) =)

This week will be starting on electrical works and false ceiling works .have bought all my lights to put at bomb shelter so that all the lights can be fixed..cant wait to see the lights.. :notti: ..Aircon man will be coming on Wed to fix system 4 Mitsubishi heavy industries...hopefully wiring etc will be done nicely!

Headache part: We are still thinking whether to go ahead with storage heater or gas heater..both have its pros and cons..If we get storage heater, it has to be placed in our Master bathroom as HDB has already fix the pipings at master bathroom, and our master bathroom is very small, with the storage heater in place, it will be smaller... :( ..

Comments: in the end, we took storage heater.. :jammin::jammin:

During the weekend, we went to Universal Union Enterprise (recommended by a friend)

710 Geylang Road

(3 shops away from Lor 44)
Singapore 389625

We were glad that they have more variety (compared to hoe kee), we went to Heritage (few shops beside it) but we find that Heritage is very small and quite messy..We wanted to go Poh Joo but in the end, we settled our sinks, mixers, toilet shelving, mirrors at Universal Union..A guy by the name of Ah Hao served us, and he was very patient..explaining us the items when we have doubts.. :good: ..we were in the shop for nearly 2 hours..choosing colors to match/ type of sinks is really a headache..Furthermore they gave us a discount and we find their price is reasonable.. :deal:

Some pics to share:

Fridge wise, I prefer it big. With the price tag of 1.1k, you can easily get a 500L up fridge.

Never underestimate the usage of fridge, when you stay on, items needed will slowly start feeling up the space.

Also when catering the space for the fridge in the kitchen, ensure the carpentry allows more space for a fridge upsize in the future.

Dont get caught in the situation where you can only buy back a similar size fridge. ;)

Hi 011..thanks for your advice and feedback.. :good: ..we wanted a black fridge glass surface (think black is more chio) and energy saving hence choices are limited..samsung no black color..and hitachi has 3 ticks (based on the new ratings)..

Yupz.!! we have asked ID to cater space for a fridge upsize in future..hehe.. :thumbs up:

Some updates:

Pop by our love nest and surprised that electrician have fixed up our lights..FAST!! we thought the fixing of lights will be delayed..FINALLY we have lights!!! some pics to share..(pardon the poor visibility of some pics)

Cove lights: Love the cove lights (warm light) effect and fan..

img-20141116-wa0022.jpg

img-20141116-wa0034.jpg

Service yard lights: (lighting point was at the top, its a little dim perhaps due to the wall color we chosen, it gives us a dim feeling)

img-20141116-wa0024.jpg

Bed room 1 (study room): Fanco fan with light..its a little dim which we regretted. Will need to buy a higher watts..currently it is 3 bulbs with 7W..Alternatively will try to remove the cover of the lights so that it is brighter..

*If anyone thinking of buying fan with lights, got to consider the brightness..

img-20141116-wa0031.jpg

My toilet lights are the brightest..LOL..two colors (white and warm when open 2 togther)


img-20141116-wa0023.jpg

cove lights at master bedroom: (2 sides)

img-20141116-wa0029.jpg

This week will be able to see my evorich tiles / skirting....showerscreen and doors. :thumbs up:
