Good way of deciding! Then confirmed I will give up my fav... I'm lazy..

If Dylan can draw, I huat liao...

Thanks thanks... May, Big flower also my hubby's fave... But he is NOT romantic at all.... Now I regret asking for votes cos everyone's fav is different...Ha! Ha! Still deciding.. Maybe next week I also ask Henry to choose..

My bro aka supersimon also like Big Bulb but my hubby finds it too plain & boring...Yes, there r warm orange light bulbs available..If we were to buy it, we will change it to orange...Sorry, I don't remember the price of my common toilet and floor tiles cos top up not required... When top up is not required, we can't be bothered to check the price anyway... But I think shd be less than $2.8 range lah... Don't think Henry so good, will let us have above $3 range.. Kekeke... We wanted non-balast downlights cos for our previous hse, we had a tough time changing balast and it spoilt quite frequently... As for the quotation, I think I can only pm u once my reno is complete perhaps?! The first quote is more than $50k cos we requested for everything, including changing of windows... But reality is harsh when we received the respective quotes... Like is one thing, $$ and whether we can afford is another issue liao...We need to cut items by items... Anyway, even if I forward to u also no use cos our layout, area and measurements are different.. I also didn't compare my quote with my bro.. I compared by requesting for 3 different contractors' quote on the exact dimensions and items for my reno.. Then like that more easy and fair also... As for spreadsheet, sorry hor.. My hubby got don't know what 'Macro enabled' thingy inside which also has our savings $$ details so he can also has 'real time' update on our bank balance and credit cards bills info.. Quite confidential, can't share.. Sorry Sorry.... My Cellini Package shd be $4400..Items as listed in my post.. I think they have the standard TV console, Sofa and Bed in a lump sum promotion..I don't need Console so I requested for coffee table and Dining set..Then I top up a bit for side table...The sales person will take note of the items u like and work up a lump sum amt for u..Something like that lah...

Dining area, never do anything. Just put a long black tempered glass dining table and 4 chairs...so no 3D... BTW, nest is the cheapest:) Nest is our initial first choice too!

Dear friends We need your help to vote for your fav on the below selection of dining lights cos me and hubby cldn't make our decision for the past two days...Any views appreciated! Thanks in advance! Nest: Big Bulbs: Big Flowers: Big Apple: Molecules:

Good news... Hope your hse will be swee swee in no time.... Get them rectify everything b4 starting your reno...If not, they will start to point fingers at your contractor...

Hi, may I check the cost for the LED spotlights and the LED kitchen light? Wanted to ask when we went lighting.com but forgotten to ask... Thks.

That's the problem... My kitchen is about 30ft...In any case, i don't cook so I also don't know the big kitchen is for what... When I said I don't want island, both Henry and my bro said no.. Must do cos my kitchen big enough to do...or else very empty.. My bro said my flat layout very funny cos big kitchen, big living room.. 10ft high ceiling yet rooms small small... Carpentry and wall tiles all very ex cos of my 10 ft high ceiling...

(I didn't do the study room due to budget... but now I have my regrets... Shd have bite the bullet and custom made it...~updated on 1 April) Masterbedroom:)

Finally got my 3Ds last nite...Luve the photos cos whatever we told him are all in the pics! Things like two tone for kitchen cabinets...use wood grain laminate cos we old fashioned type..cannot take bright smooth laminate like my bro... Anyway, my masterbedroom's photo not ready cos I went to Closet design last monday and wanted Henry to change the initial plan we had in mind on the placement of the wardrobe... Have yet to confirm the carpentry items cos on tight budget...Maybe do kitchen, Living room and Masterbedroom first?! In any case, these pics are only our first draft hor... subject to amendments...

Wah... all so secretive... Then I must follow your blogs diligently liao...

Still hunting for good bargains loh... I will jia you jia you... Thks for asking:)

Mae, your ID really got good initiatives! Most of them wld have kept quiet if the owners didn't say anything about a problem error, let alone to rectify it. Thumb up!

I think this is the peak period for most of the contractors/IDs. All starting work around the same period due to CNY break. You already reminded him twice... If I were u, I will move on to contact others... I dislike non follow-up... Sorry have to say this even thou he is doing my house now.

Congrats me only when I'm able to move in time... Now last week of Feb, floor titling half way done... I don't know whether can make it in time or not....

I will be meeting him this fri...U want me to sound him out? He is very busy, always phone ringing leh... Maybe get others to quote too?

Heng ah! I'm kind of glad to hear u & lazybum sort of giving up the thot of buying the sofa... Cos we stay so near and imagine all using the same sofa... No surprise & sianz hor? Yah...I don't like it cos of the lack of armrest too and this sofa reminds me of a sofa bed not those conventional one that I like but now...the more I look... the more I like... Hope my reno can finish fast fast... My FS master gave me two dates to move in March; 17 & 29 Mar.. Don't think Henry can finish by 17 Mar so now targetting on 29 Mar... Praying hard.....

Excluding bed, yes.... everything less than $4k. Include bed, less than $4.5k... I can't remember the exact amt. My hubby in finance line mah...so he got excel spreadsheet on the amt to spread on each room wan hor.. He quite strict and discipline when it comes to $$$.... Lighting cannot exceed $1.5k for whole house... Sanitary ware including the instant heater for both toilet cannot exceed $2k, Masterbedroom another $$, bedroom 2 & 3 another $.... Anything above budget cannot buy immediately...must go home discuss and deduct/ adjust from somewhere before committing... So we usually look at price first then talk about design...

Wow... May, salute...U can go so many places to get your stuff... We only went 2 places and I have terrible headache after that...So tiring....Hoe Kee's sinks not cheap right? Their sinks a lot but prices also lot of differences..... U are faster mode than me... Your reno haven't started but u get most of the stuff.... My reno on going and I am like taking my own sweet time.... Kekeke.....

I can't afford your $4k sofa leh... $4k can buy the furniture and fittings for my whole living room. Budget Budget.....

The coffee Table's 'legs' is to match the dining table lah...Anyway u guys will notice that the pattern for the coffee table is something like snake skin... We are suckers for this kind of pattern... just like the toilet tiles... Ha! Ha! I check if I can buy another bean bag... if can, i buy one for u lah... Yes, got coffee table but I don't like the flower print on the laminated surface so gave it a miss....

Welcome! Another owner staying in Boon Keng:) My block is very near to yours too!

Hi Mae Need to check regarding the doors of this room.. My masterbedroom has something like this kind of layout...I'm facing the problem of the entrance door hitting the wardrobe door ... How did u solve this issue? Thks.

Please also PM me your Electrician contact...Thot of getting another quote over this weekend as well when we met up with Aron, the aircon man...
