Thanks storm... Bought it from FORMS furnishing. Part of the City Furnishing group. I was quoted $1480 plus 4 chairs of my choice before we talked about package. I also like one from Mondi, also around $1450+ plus 4 chairs.

For the past 5 weeks, me and my wife have been going round Singapore looking for furintures. Finally decided on take a plunge last weekend on the dining table and sofa at IFC. A bit relief after looking at soooo many furniture. Dining Table with 6 chairs (design of chairs not confirmed) Sofa with 2 cushions (actual length to be decided once we get the keys to our place) Picture taken with hp so blur blur. Pai seh.. Total damage is $3700 after long session of "playacting" and bargaining.

Thanks all for the kind words.. Will try to keep this blog updated..

Yup.. its Casa Merah.. Nowadays got lots of people going there see see look look. Everytime I go got at least 3-4 couples there. Too bad still under construction so cannot see interior.

Thanks.. Thinking of putting a water feature there. My wife prefers a dark colour chengai decking to bring up the colour contrast. But very ex to do chengai decking leh.. From the plan, i think my balcony bigger than the household shelter leh..

Thanks !! My place is at Casa Merah, opposite Tanah Merah MRT. You are right, I think i will use a mixture of 2x13 and 2x18. Thinking of 2x18 for the living room so that i can cut down on the number of downlights. But the 2x18 ones quite big. Cove lights are actually T5 tubes which are partially hidden by false ceilings. More of ambience lighting.

Here's the lighting plan. Not sure to use 2x13 or 2x18 for the downlights. Any advise?

Let's just say i didn't read everything in detail.. just zoom into the discussion of interest..

I was quoted about $60 including shipping. Dimension is 56cm wide x 87cm high

Went to Decorette Store and asked for a customised decal. Amanda was extremely helpful and managed to draft this out for me. I intend to put it up at one of the empty wall in the dining area. Intended to paint the wall dark brown and the impact wall. As you can see, I'm a Liverpool fanatic...

Any suggestions where to put the shoe cabinet? I wanted to make use of the jagged space at the dining table wall. But afraid that it may be too small.

For ID, I will most probably be using *mage Creat***. They did my current place for me 7 years ago, and I've developed a great friendship with the ID. Throughout the 7 yrs, he always help me when i need new grills, windows, repair walls, etc.. So I guess it naturally for me to look for them soon. But I did warn him if his price is high, I will still switch. Nowadays prices so transparent, he can't hide. I've sent him couple of links to reno t-blogs here to tell him the minimum standard required. Also to give him resources and ideas..

Ya.. after reading for 1 month, I know about Uncle Soon and Yeak and Blum System, etc... Think I also finish reading all reno t-Blogs..

See the little extension at the master bedroom? It's to solve a little problem. I have a kid who is 3 yrs old now and he enjoy sleeping with us. So we were thinking about how to incorporate that into our little master bedroom. As I've already bought my platform bedframe (the one with side storage u can find at St Louis), i told my ID to construct a mini platform (made up of 2 smaller pieces) to extend the existing platform bedframe. I will then throw a mattress on top so he can sleep with us. When he grow older, the platform will be move into his room to act as his platform bed. I requested for it to be made up of 2 smaller pieces cos if we dun want it as a platform bed, maybe can use it as 2 side tables, or stack together to become a coffee table Also easier to keep when not using.

As for reno, I don't think we will be doing a lot. But we are afraid that there's not much storage space. So we need to construct a cabinet. Currently we stay in a EA, so got lots of rubbish to move. We are thinking of 2 ways to do the cabinet. Option 1 [May have more space for shoe cabinet] Or Option 2 Any preference from you guys/gals?

Went down to check on the progress every 2 weeks. Here's the latest pic.

Hi all. After much lurking in this forum, I've decided to start my own T-blog to share my experience with my new purchase and renovation. Me and my wifey have been staying in Sengkang for the last 7 yrs. Last month, we finally managed to secure our new place in the East. To be near to my siblings and parents, who are all staying in Tampines. Also Sort of fulfilling our dream of owning a condo. The condo will only be TOP in Aug/Sept. But we are so excited that most of the planning has been done. First thing first, the floorplan. It's a 3 bedroom unit.

Think I may have ordered the same bed frame as you... Ritz Raymen?
