Thank you for dropping by and reading my renovation blog from page 1 Just wanted to share that I've collated all the posts about my renovation journey to my personal blog. If you wish to cut through the clutter of people asking for PMs for my ID, do go direct to www.guojiawen.com and choose the tags "Dream Home / Renovation / Home Deco". Cheers! Jiawen ____________ Have been reading renovation blogs for quite sometime and found the info all really useful. Hence decided to start my own reno blog to document our reno journey Our dream home is a 5 room BTO at Woodlands Meadows. Currently awaiting for keys which should be ready by March (hopefully), since our block is the last one hanging. HDB, please release our keys soon! As my hubby & I are will be shuttling back & forth from overseas, we were pretty eager to settle our choice of ID. Have done our research since Oct 2013, shortlisted about 15 firms, asked for quotations, met with 6 IDs and further shortlisted our choice. Finally signed with our ID two days back. Overall we have good vibes and chemistry with Jason (our ID), who is working together with his brother (owner of the company). Price quoted was reasonable, Jason was really flexible in terms of our requests and after viewing a work in progress home, the workmanship was good as well. Everything is great so far. We are also really happy with the reno package! The next step is to choose the colour & overall feel of what we like and update Jason before he helps come up with our 3D designs. Am really looking forward!

Hi X6GT A shout out to you as I've enjoyed reading about your bathroom reno journey. Like you, I'm a fan of European bathroom fittings and also quite OCD myself so I totally felt you as I was going through your posts hahaha! I'm glad you managed to overlook some of the minor imperfections in view of the bigger picture (as I often find difficult to do myself!) and here's wishing you many happy years using your bathroom!

Hey X6GT, You should have a blog of somekind, i throughly enjoyed reading your journey, i actually laughed quite a fair bit! I myself am looking to redo my horrid, fugly bathroom and reading your posts makes it a real eye opener especially: 1) How easy it is to over exceed the initial budget 2) How naive we are in working with contractors who can't care less about us in the first place. I have a few questions and i'm not sure if you have the answers: 1) For the rain shower is it just cold water coz i didn't see any posts talking about a heater of somekind. 2) For the rain shower don't you need a pump to ensure the 'rain' works at a good pressure or distribution? I'll ask more questions again later, but do keep posting!

he was nice about it when we popped over. he also offered us to take the display piece at a discounted price, which left us with some spare cash at the store. now thinking of what to get. edit: he provided us with the full story of what happened. the warehouse lost a few items of his inventory and the sofa was one of them. he was straight up about it, and i was personally appreciative of his honesty and offer to make it up to us. good guy to deal with!
