gosh, your layout and design is very well thought of....... love the spaciousness of the MBR cum study cum WIW............ worth all the 50K+ spent hehe...

wow wow very very nice wardrobe...... any pics of the kitchen? really looking forward to it... your house is shaping up really nicely!!

dont forget to feed us pictures, mrspiglet! hehe.....

Hi all, Need help on finding the right house movers. I need professional movers which can help us move furnitures and electricals (disassemble/assemble back if required): - King size bed - Queen size bed - Dining set and buffet - 3+2 sofa - Coffee table, console - Fridge, washing machine, TV etc Prefer one that can bubble wrap the furnitures before moving and can provide boxes. Thank you!

welcome, and congrats for the completed reno, looking very nice so far looking forward to more pics! did you have a spotlight to the artpiece or just downlight?

Thanks for the input ilmare......is piggybank going to use Ho Bee as well as the contractor?

wow, quite modern look, very nice the MRB bathroom is using concrete wall?

the good thing about this vacuum is it can suck the dustmite from bedsheet/sofa etc, but if you dont use if often enough then useless also. and if it's too clean, kids will develop allergic reaction in the "not-so-clean" places, so it's nice but for the price, definitely not for us. and the sales people are really too pushy and rude!

hi preciousjam, i think i know that one already, one sale agent also came to my place after we got free steamer, also cost 3K+, nice vacuum but way too expensive, when i said no, they totally changed attitude and became very2 pushy, so i was really upset too.

nice big kitchen, fondue. what color of table top you're getting?

aaah thanks a lot man, that explanation really is useful. my laminate i think is the high pressure one with ABS corner trim as well. do you mind pm-ing the quotation on your chengai deck, bay window top and feature wall? thanks!

hi tobiko, wow very nice, cant see that it was tiles. hi rdnest, was thinking of doing white glass backsplash too but afraid of the green tint, so contemplating putting tinted mirror instead, do you think it will stand the heat as we cook everyday?

hi ocheeeng, your planned reno works are quite similar to mine, mine sharing your quote and your id? the solid ply wood is much better than regular laminates? like the design of the feature wall cause i am doing something similar but the cabinet will be using glass doors for display.

hi tobiko, nice kitchen, do you use white glass backing in between the cabinets?

yeah if you don't like the tiles then might as well change rather than regretting later..... your open concept kitchen and MBR bathroom sounds good, cant wait for the pics hehe

hi milo, you can see my layout and arrangement in the t-blog here: tblog i planned to have the living/dining on longish side, but the dining i shifted to the end of hall since we have a bay window there for seatee. but the living room feature wall and artwork will be in longish side opposite the aircon

hi ocheeeng, yeah i tried to get the overall quote down, but managed to bargain about 500 only hehe. the painting was for ICI pentalite 5 colors max. thanks for your input

hi milo, the layout looks like condo or EC. i agree with familyof4, probably not wise to have the wall feature underneath the aircon as from time to time even if the aircon doesn't leak it needs to be serviced/wet cleaning. the original idea of having long feature wall to accomodate livinh/dining is better i think. your layout is similar to mine in the case of the long hall, i plan to have the feature wall on opposite side of aircon. may i know which ID you engaged? i quite like the design

yeah mrspiglet, we're both too kiasu haha i guess now that we know what kind of curtain we look out for, it will save time to look for curtains when we get the keys in june. thanks for your offer, i'll contact you again later if i need the contact.

wow very nice indeed with all the neat and clean lines and furniture choices do you have the dining light pic when it is turned off? was looking for that kind of light, may i know how much and where you bought it from? thanks.

hi angel, yep, managed to bargain with the id so that the quote is only ~1K higher than Yeak, so i think it's a reasonable quote for ID. thanks for all your help so far.

hi preciousjam, i have talked to yeak before too, he's a nice guy, and i think his quotation is very reasonable...... although i didn't engage him in the end because i need more help in design, he is really a good option for you i think.

Hi all, I'll be doing these works below with Frontier Concept ID, quote was 13.5K, need your input whether it's reasonable or not? Mostly carpentry works. - Chengai decking for 3 planters area - Laminate top for 3 bay windows area - Wall feature (full length, 9ft wide) with display cabinet for living room - Wall feature (full length) for MBR TV - Extend MBR wardrobe by 2 ft (full length) with mirror on cabinet door - Construct custom single bed with storage - Tinted mirror backing in between kitchen top and bottom cabinets (2 walls) - Construct shoe rack shelves in existing power cabinet - Construct laminate ledge in passageway to put display/photo frames - Contruct curtain pelmet for 6 curtain areas - Electrical works: all light installations, 4 additional light points Thanks! -
