For those who have seen the renovated hougang em on three-d conceptwerke website, it's also a fengshui design according to ID. so nicely done without trace of fengshui - good job! I hope our unit can achieve similar results too!

Hi Iksoon, Tks! It's an oil painting - a diff touch with the embriodered patterns by the side. Sthg not very traditional.

ya! it should work hor! if really get painting, must blend in with my 2 buddha paintings too! Shall see ID has any more creative idea or not!

ha. ha.... there are diff school of thoughts when it comes to fengshui. i will upload some info when i have time - directly from fengshui book hubby and i decided not to engage & do it on our own!

Living Room & Balcony Living Room - Southeast - Wealth & Prosperity Colour - Green Element - Small Wood I dun think I would wan green walls, or green or wooden furnitures .... mmh .... Maybe brown sofa with a green touch - cushions or plants Balcony - East - Family & Health Colour - Green & Brown Element - Strong wood Lucky, the greenery view & the existing timber deck! Yeah... Will probably add some plants in this area! Oh! But the beam on the ceiling has to go too!

This area would be the south sector of my home which means red or fire element will be good. good to have more red, but a red wall might be too over, a red painting? The book mentioned that this area is also symbolized by lights, so can place a bright light to activate this area.

This is generic in fengshui whereby all direction is represent by an element and colour. However, all individual is different - a Kua number can be calculated based DOB where u will get to know a Kua number that represent you. Whereby 4 directions will be your favourable one and 4 directions are not. This is where one can enhance one's luck by enhancing the favourable directions and rectify/ minimize the usage of infavourable positions. mayb i am not too good in my explanation, tat's y sounds chiem! hee....

Hi Hi This thread is getting quieter. Why dun you share your favorite corner of your EM here! Post the pics! cheers,

Wow! Nice nice! I luv such design concepts too! Got most ideas from shows like Dress My Nest & My Celebrity Home!

Right fengshui in each area would enable occupants to enjoy the benefits out of it. Ha... for example, the south sector of any house represents recognition & fame. Representing element is Fire. Colour - Red. So in this area, good to have more red. Be it the colour of the wall, furniture or accessories, it will benefit the occupants. 木生火，水灭火 which means wooden things in ths place is favourable too, however, items such as fish tanks, water feature or colour representing "water" is destuctive in this area. hee... i also半桶水

Our dining room falls into both the west & southwest sector of the house. Recommended colours - white, metallic, gold & yellow Five elements - small metal & earth Ideas: 1. Will either replace cabinets laminates with mirrors or install mirrors on one of the walls - reflections of dining table means double up the food - good fengshui 2. Will get the crystal lights for the southwest corner i.e. bet the window and cabinets - probably a pair 3. We plan to have at least 4 TVs at home - hee... need one at dining area too ... mmh ... (still thinking) 4. It will definitely be a round table - but will it make the space smaller? 5. The beam on the ceiling has to go too. Happy! At least i will beginning to put some ideas in place!

Our Foyer is located at NW sector of the house. Good to have Metallic, White, Gold colour in this area - which means i can keep the white and add some gold / metallic ornaments in this area. I remember wood is not meant to be in this area - which means we will most likely remove the timber deck.

Hi, as hubby is very particular with fengshui - I am being "forced" to read up fengshui books to make reno plans due to his busy worklife. so a bit sensitive on fengshui aspect.: read from the books that with room doors facing each other directly will cause conflicts bet the occupants of these rooms. one of the remedies is to change the orientation of the door if possible, if not to place plants along hallway or hang "noren" at door. is there a window by the end of the hallway? I might extend one of the rooms out to include the hallway just a personal preference

Hi Hi, Here is a simple chart to understand feng shui basis - five elements. Will be incorporating this to our renovation project. hee...

Hi Charemme, I like your MBR wth a separate corner for TV watching! Luv it!

Hi newnyew, Thanks for the info! As I hardly have any chance to cook - both mothers preparing meals, my hubby 千交代万交代 must be a design which allows easy maintenance. ha

Hi, Heard from a fren too - prices are very reasonable. She advises us to look around for desirable models at larger stores such as *est *enki, then get them from the Mega store at Katong Mall. She has saved about $13K if I remembered correctly - for the appliances bought for her new place! I thought it is a good deal!

Hi Newnyew, Nice design - the mirrored tv console is sthg I have not seen b4! chio! May I check if it's easy to maintain your open concept kitchen? I might wan to hack my kitchen so that I can still monitor my boys activities when preparing meals in the future, but not too sure how practical it would be. having the island counter would be a dream comes true!

Hi Decruz, I still owe you coffee! hee... maybe can go coffee_o kopitiam for a drink! If not you, I wouldn't have seen my current unit! ha... u r my 贵人 yo! ha... ha....

Hi huggsss, Welcome & congrats! Wow! $56K above COV - that's really high! We have paid $27K and thought it's already quite high in this current resale market. Both hubby and myself did not really source for ID/Contractor. After viewing one of their EM design on their website via the EM link and another project he has done for one of the forumers, we decided to meet up with the ID. It's all about "clickability" which one forumer stated regardless of who you are using. We met our ID and feel comfortable with him and so we have decided to work with him! No concrete plans yet, just view our unit with him last week. Can wait to meet him for our 1st introd! Happy searching!

Tks! Prior that, a lot of homework to be done. As we have been staying with in laws for the past 4 years, it would be a totally diff lifestyle for us esp with 2 kids. Really needs some practical and realistic planning. And hopefully practical & realistic can also achieve a design to our liking - & I believe Dess can do it!

Hi, Anyone out there with an open concept kitchen? Is it difficult to maintain?

Ha... We have been using it for 4 yrs, still good! Bought it cos of the design. It was cheap then too!
