Yup yup... give you a small tip. they will recommend you the traditional kebaya skirt which is much more flowery... just buy the top will do. then get the skirt from other places. plainer ones which will look more elegant. My mom did that. mmycheng >> haha it's ok la... my post was a bit confusing anyways. not married yet so no kids in the tow

Oh yes forgot to add I love the purple floral laminate for your MBR feature wall!

wah 10th Nov is coming then you say the progress slowed down?.... maybe 20th Nov more suitable ba not so rush... haha Aiyah this kind of thing I also leave it to mom and dad. heh

hihi mmycheng hehe Yup I'm one of the kids. The youngest person living in this place is 19 so he can jolly well paint his own room. whahahahha Thanks applefreak. think my bro and I thinking of painting one wall a different colour only, leaving the rest of the room white. Whereas my parents and sis will have theirs in full white. They like white white house la... bo pians. Make the choosing of tiles and everything else easier ba. hihi LGG Mom bought the orange kebaya at Katong Shopping Centre. It's the one along East Coast road at the junction of the new condo development, Seaview and Amber one. The basement there's one Peranakan shop that sells two kinds of Kebaya, the cotton cheaper kind and the more expensive emboidered kind. The cheaper one is $50++ and the other one is $200+ I think. BUT HOR... after my mom bought she regretted a little. Cos she went to Geylang Serai during the Hari Raya season and saw SO MANY there.... and for cheaper also. If you're buying for special occasion... there are handmade ones at Siglap Centre. VERY nice and good quality and each one is unique cos you pick out the patterns and she make customised complete design for you. But..... it does come at a price.

yay Renovation starting liao right? Must be very exciting! I just realise we're going to be neighbours... heh heh

MmM After reading this ENTIRE thread and zc31's thread I emailed Tau's Interior last night. By this afternoon, I had received a call but was in a meeting and couldn't call back. It was immediately followed by an sms from Gabriel. I replied to say that I couldn't pick the call and he was nice enough to continue smsing. We arrange to meet already. mmm shortlisting contractors is such a stressful and tiring exp.

I love what you did! Really DIY! fantastic le Now it's so retro!!

Wah I love your twin basins and kitchen island too!!! gorgeous!

Ya your sofa looks so comfy... can sleep on it!

Wah I think i'm so auntie the moment I saw the balcony I was thinking Good place to dry clothes!! Then I saw you all put a bar there which is a nice thing! You all entertain a lot?

May I ask where you got your shoe cabinet from? Is it also red apple? Very nice! Your light with all the crystals also very very nice. Envious!

haha i'm going to live with my parents you see.. older generation still think that whole house white white good. looks more spacious. So the whole living area and their MBR will be white. As for the 3 smaller bedrooms which belong to the children... we've discussed liao. Everyone in charge of their own room. Want to paint go buy a small pot of paint and ask friend come to help. LOL Briefed my brother on this.

yup Ikea have.

Good good. i think planning must always plan according to the way we live. cannot just do cos it's nice. yay looking forward to more pics!

Wah read through your hassle. I had a lousy agent also the seller agent... and yours is worse than mine so I can imagine your agony... Seems like start work liao wor!

hahaha Patrick you must call him, then fax it to him immediately then will come back fast. Cos he not in the office, his men also rarely in the office cos all out looking at projects. I'm sure if you take him on you'll want to find him at your house and not at the office reading emails ma. Contractors dun have blackberry. Only IDs reply a bit faster... But IDs... well dun have idea can have IDs la. I have to agree with the rest, i first time see all the walls are beams one. Good luck with Reno!

WAH say! Very nice!

Wah not bad le! I love the balcony tiles. The windows look good too. The kitchen if can retile and change the doors will be good... cos that old fashion kind I always think it's more lasting heh. Good luck to you! I am aiming for the same targets as you, reno start mid nov and end mid dec...

WAh thanks guys... I've written them all down in a list and will check them out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mmm thanks for the tips. *shall not replace doors to save some money* paint paint paint..

Whoa your study is well planned with all the drawers and shelves... mmm going to spend a lot of time there wor? It opens out to the living area? Will have a glass there? nice le!! And it matches your living also. You're right about the lights... it does play an important role.

YAY for once i guess correct. no wonder look like marble...

haha I will when I do. now final shortlistings ba. *stressful*

Wah... initially our budget was $10k. But seems very un-doable.... lol willing to stretch la but not stretch very much more. cos still need to buy things. cannot anyhow spend. Cos we don't want to take up loans to reno.

mmm really dun look like HDB. even the floorplan document dun look like. heh.
