saw your 3d renderings of the cupboards, are the cabinet doors wire mesh to complete the 1950s look?

wow. all u need now is to hang a milo tin with rubber bands and this:

it's a good idea to take some elements from the scandi designs and not be overwhelmed with it. If I can suggest, since u live in such an old neighbourhood, u can draw inspiration from the older HDB architechture around you. There are a few landmarks around the town centre (road signs/domed swimming pool/old multi-storey carpark). take a leaf from it and incorporate in your style? a good resource will be over here. http://visualarchive.sg i'm also looking for a mid-mod look but with local elements

looking at your place, u really need one of those vintage sanyo airconditioning units to make it look complete. they have really cool wooden paneling. will take a pic of my in-laws' unit.

hello fellow forumers! me and my wife-to-be decided to chart our journey in making our love nest in the western town of bt batok. after 5-6 failed attempts at securing a BTO, SOBFs we decided to say "screw it" and went resale. the search lasted over a year cos i was really choosy, and i was really amused with property agent names. we went thru a titan, belmont, cash, and other names not unusual enough to catch our attention. finally in jan 2011, the flat called out to us. apartment was really well maintained and neat. plus it was really spacious for a 4-roomer, at 114 sqm. and there was a stone feature wall to boot! we hesitated for a while before deciding to bring the folks in for a quick recce. after a few hours of nervous discussions, the deal was sealed. here's some pics: living room kitchen balcony funny thing about this balcony is that its completely indoors. drawback is not much direct sunlight. but we're thinking of getting like a patio in. searched around for more info on this model 4-rm and came up with this: http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?sh...l=indoor+garden so we're looking for contractors/IDs to do up the kitchen and toilets. if u have any recommendations, i'd be happy to get ur pm! cheers rr
