Hello and welcome! Looking forward to your updates!

Wow just like everyone else here, I love the Swaro®Lite thingy!!! But $3K! Man! That's quite ex huh... Figure I can buy a lot of lights with that! Besides the egyptian lights do you know of any other options? The egyptian lights u know how much?

Btw have you bought your lights yet?

Ah-HAH! I was just debating how feasible it is to have integrated basins and cabinets! Do the cabinets feel solid?

Hi nirvana! the green colour wall really look sala! hahaha! can't imagine it being any darker. Your false ceiling is nice. So are you on schedule for mid Dec move in?

Ok I shall go SITEX to take a look. I discussed with my friends and all they say SITEX only give a bit more discount... so you dont have to be too sad!

Ok I have decided this MUST be my masterbedroom toilet sink tap!!!! Nice?

I am just as amazed as many here that there is actually a FAN CLUB for a sofa!! ahaha But can someone help me out here... $980 is for what material? Does it come in full leather? I shall go take a look soon!

Harlow everybody! Wow, this is like the most popular tblog hahaha!

hi there! great idea you have for the MBR! are you guys still staying home more often? Hehehe!

Hihi momo!! So you going to SITEX this weekend? Buy TV? HEhe

Just one quick question, you having a enclosed shower area for the common bathroom? Do you know the size of it? My toilet is about same size as yours and if I were to do an enclosed shower, most IDs told me its too small wor... So I dunno how now. :/

I love version one!! Wait till I post pics of what my ID gave me! Mine all WHITE leh!!! I saw yours and I was like, WOW. Compare to my... all-white 3D drawing.. :/

Hey crystal, how;s your celini package like? Pictures? I think I am heading down to celini at SK for a look this weekend!!

wow looks like the first steps have been taken!! so your tile selection is confirmed? which tile shop did you go to?

Take a look at my common room toilet's door. SUPER OLD SCHOOL HOR! Haha Some information about the place, it's 22 years old. Only ever had 1 owner before. So the whole place is like original condition. :/ Got to spend more money on RENO! Oh yes, SITEX 2009 is happening this weekend! Anybody going for electronics? I wonder if I should buy a TV there!

Thank you everybody for the welcome! Ok here's the BEFORE pictures of the my flat! ******SLIDESHOW HERE******* P.s.: Did anybody tio toto today? 5.5mil! AND I'm so angry I forgot to buy!! If not my renovation will all be paid for. HAHA!

INDEED! Can't wait la! 6 months already! Hehehe!

Here's a post to share my ID searching process: Getting into the customer mode really makes me cringe at how fickle customers are privileged to be. I go to company A and speak with the salesperson on renovation and halfway through our conversation, I would have made up my mind about him/her/the company. And when I step out of the office, I already know if I will be coming back here again. Just like that. If I don't like that mole on your face, I can easily let that be a reason and give the contract to someone else. Or if you don't follow up with a call, I can brush you off easily because there are so many more out there to choose from. The interior design/renovation industry is definitely competitive in Singapore. Me being me, I spent time and effort to meet up with close to 15 interior design firms. Here's the list of them: 1) * Interior Design 2) The Interior Place 3) *** Interior Design 4) Ideal House 5) ***** 6) Renozone 7) Everlink Renovation 8) Zhi Seng Renovation 9) Beng Fong Renovation 10) Violet Interior 11) Darwin Interior 12) Home Guide 13) Some firm in IMM 14) One more firm in IMM 15) A firm near Koven MRT So yea there you go! I actually went to 15 different companies and compared reputation, materials, online/friends feedback, rapport with interior designer, and most importantly, costing. It's a cruel cruel world out there. I wasn't going to settle for anything without knowing the full picture. So I went out there and spent countless hours reading up online, talking to different IDs and participated in online forums. In the end, after 4 months of intensive research, I finally narrowed down to 2 firms - *** Interior Design and Ideal House. The person I dealt with in *** Interior Design is CL. She is a bubbly person and her enthusiasm and confidence for the job is very infectious. Her confidence and constant assurance also made me feel that she could be trusted to do the job and do it well. Her quotation is not the lowest, nor is it the highest. *** is also reputed to be a more design-led company as well. CL has 8 years of experience in the industry. She is also the godsis of a friend. The one I met with in Ideal House is JY. He's a very easy going guy. Careless in his quotation description but a fault he is quick to admit and amend. Ideal House is very much raved about in www.renotalk.com There are countless good reviews about the company and the IDs in the company. During the second meeting I had with him, he displayed willingness to think out of the box to solve my storage problems. That was quite a trait that was sorely missing in many of the IDs I met. I had to make a decision. I only have one house. I only need one ID. So who will it be? CL or JY? I will explain why I chose who I chose in my next post

Thanks momo and reddevil!! BTW, does anybody know how to edit the title and description of this T-blog? I wanne edit it but dunno how! :/

Hihi!! Thanks for the welcome! I am mighty excited to start my new journey too! Oh btw, for your kitchen, I think the BEST solution is to buy a new fridge. Why go through the headache of hacking the current kitchen cabinet... losing precious storage space and it's going to be worst if you have to find matching laminates to rebuild. U can sell your old fridge and buy new one and your house is **** nice la... marble flooring somemore!!

hi there!! welcome to renotalk! I just started my own t-blog too! I want to have an all white kitchen but scared will be dirty leh... a lot of ppl advise against taking a dark coloured solid surface top cos it will show scratches easily... so since the solid surface has to be light coloured, the cabinets might be better off dark coloured?

Hello everyone! This is my first post on my humble T-blog. I'm starting renovation soon and getting KEYS on the 10th of Dec! Been waiting for over 6 months for the whole flat transaction to be done so I can't wait! I have a personal blog which I documented my journey in the transaction of the house so pop by, say hi and take a look. I won't go into the boring details on house hunting and share with you guys here my renovation journey experience. Let's BEGIN.........!! .... with a look at my floor plan
