Hi claricegzh, From the photos, you are from skyville? Cos my initial guess was Skyterrace. I will be your neighbour in another 5 yrs time. The empty plot right behind skyterrace will be allocated for the SERS* replacement flat for Commowealth residents which will be our first choice selection beside the other choices offered. (*This will be one of the selected plot, the rest will be at margaret drive old hawker and wet market plot, one will be behind Commonwealth Tower and 2 other at the empty lots next to the existing Dawson flats. http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10297p.nsf/ImageView/CORPORATE_PR_27062014_ANNEX%20E-E5/$file/Annex+E-E5.pdf) If you are in skyterrace, there will be another 2 yrs of so for the enjoyment of the view now before the construction work begin (completion will be 2020 for our key collection). So excited to see a Dawson project in the forum and will love to see the wondeful transformation of your lovely place. Have a smooth renovation, cheers

Hi Mr & Mrs JohnB, Happy Chinese New Year! Sorry was super busy lately and was really late to check the reply. We love cleanline design as in minimalist or sleek industrial style of design. The next home will be a mix of everything as in : pandoma or cement + tiles + laminate flooring for different area. If the pandoma price is not too 'scary', we would love to have it for our kitchen to the dining section and pair up with either cement/natural stones lookalike seamless tile or dark wood grain seamless tiles. All depend our final layout in the later part. In fact, without the actual dimension of the floor plan it's kinda of hard to decide now. And I need to get back to my dawing board too for planning the interior decor. Anyway, I still have 6 years to plan for everything including the design. So have you decide the countertop?? LG Hi-macs new series looks cool, and quartz top was in my consideration list too....hahahaha How about Kompacplus top? I quite like the sleek seamless design featured in their website. Have fun on your renovation and hope everything all smoothly.

Hi JohnB, Din expect to see the Pandomo Floor & Wall recommendation here. Saw it at a Taiwanese renovation program and love the look and effect of it. Care to share how much is the quote for the flooring? If price still meet the budget, I would love to have it for my next new home. Thanks

Hi Huiqing, Thank you so much for the contact Hope that you have a smooth reno. Look forward to see the final result.

Hi Fingercrossed, This also the floor trap that i'm aiming for but not for current house of course. Been checking out all the renovation stuff and accessories online. You can find it locally too but price wise will be more expensive to get from TB. For those interested, here is the site: http://www.jonite.com/products/floor-traps But not sure are they willing to sell direct to the consumer or we have to get through their retailers.

hi huiqing, Congratulation for your new place . Love your selection of the lightings. The simplicity of it really suit for industrial scandi or industrial minimalist theme design. It's doesn't matter for starting off with a small or big house, more important is not to overstretch the financial limit. To be honest, we will be getting a 3rm replacement flat too (under SERS program for my neighbourhood) and still a long way to go for my flat selection and signing of all documents. As you can see, I'm kinda kiasu person . Even since we had completed our renovation in end 2009, I was like quietly fade out in the forum. So everything has to be restart again, reading old and new T-blogs, taking notes on the ID's info, checking designs online and save in our mood board, calculating how much we need to spend for reno and other things. My friends (all staying in the same neighbourhood) are like: ''huh!? why now? Still a long way to go and it'll be in 6yrs down the road". But think about it, reading a ton load of materials were not an easy job. Plus my sis BTO flat will be completed in another 1.5 or 2yrs time. All these will be handy in the later part. Sorry for the long nag. Love to see the complete reno of your place. Do update us with more reno photos and review of your ID. P/S: Do you mind to share/pm the contact for your electrician?

Hi Rover, Cool seeing another black hse. Into my 3rd year staying in one too;) oso a 3-rm, guess mine will be smaller than yours as it's at a super old estate.

Hi Vanessa & Kim76, Can check up Frankman's Tblog for Alibaba or Taobao stuff. He ordered a whole container of TB items from a local freight forwarder which happen to have a logistic office in Guangzhou. He personally checked all forwarders to get the best quote to bring in from China includes the custom clearance. For details, can drop a note at his Tblog. Hope the informations will give u a little help. Have a Good Day~

Sold my 4A unit (113 sqm) 2 yrs back. It's low floor unit but 3 mins to MRT with condo view (one bedroom is facing the condo pool) and new lakeside development going on near the mrt. Within 0.5km in one of the top primary school in that area...lol (we wanted to sell to young couple so they can make good use on this point but too bad). Well kep unit eventhough we'd stayed there for 9 yrs. Initially we put up a 36k COV but we sold it to a middle age couple with 3 daughters for 16k instead. Basically depend on how sincere the buyer and also do u like them during the discussion. They need the unit urgently so we put in express transaction request and after signing the final papers, they did a simply alternation and happily move in to my old place. Both parties are delighted in the end.
