The carpentry works that were done are decent. But the group of carpenters who did the carpentry for the living room is better than the group who did the bedroom wardrobes. Workmanship is indeed better. More importantly, they are willing to take up the job because some other carpenters are not willing to do it because of the amount of work and slight complexity with the design.

These days more and more contractors are engaging freelance graphic designers to do up 3D drawings. So any contractors can give 3D drawings if they are willing to fork out a bit of money to do it.

Moh Guan, can pm and let me know how much u are paying for ur epoxy painting for the flooring? Thanks.

Nicely done! I would prefer everything pink though.

I was reading and I saw the last post before the previous one was like 4 months ago.

Just wondering any of the victorian stuffs from The Interior Library?

Hi TimTim, Nicely done up! Just wondering any TV in the living room? And I feel there are too things in the space though, seems too clustered. But nice baroque style.

Many shops u can try. Like The Wall Arts at The Plaza (next to Furniture Mall), Manhattan and many others. Even Resort World selling. Hope this helps.

I like induction for its easy to clean and safe features. Anyway, I doubt I can cook to chinese restaurant/zhi cha standard. Anyway, the usual fire stoves use at home cant reach the intensity of fire they use to cook.

Things are normal. Hee. ^^. Castle heardboard and cloud bedframe. Then I will have a floating castle! Ha. The price is not cheap. Sourced for a few contacts and none of them are confidence or willing to do it despite giving them the specification. Tomorrow will be around round of sourcing or we will just do up the bed frame first. I hope u are much better already, angel. ^^. Angels are not suppose to fall sick. ^^.

It is always easier to know what we don't like than like. Anyway, I think u feel it is too dark becos for the MBR, the lights are shown but not for the living room and foyer. Mounting on partition wall is okie. Usually behind the partition wall which u intend to mount tv, there will be solid wood backing behind the gysum/partition board.

Furnishing is headache.

Thanks thanks.

Okie. I saw one that cost more than $10k from OXO! I can only buy their containers lor. Lol.

Hope all babies are healthy again.

There are some reasons why many have similar designs. Firstly, if u choose a design which has been done before, construction will be easier and they can deliver on time - the time factor. A different design will takes more time to construct as carpenters have to put in more effort and more time will be required. Then again, not all carpenters want to do something different all their time. Secondly, it will cheaper for owners becos carpenters know in exact how to construct since they are likely to be familar with the design as they have constructed countless times. So, if a carpenter can construct 10 identical tv feature walls and earn $5k in 10 days, would u spend the time to construct one new design of a tv feature wall but earn $4k only? Not all carpenters are waiting to go into uncharted waters. For my case, the carpenter charged a non-economical price for my tv feature walls cum display shelves and writing desk. Not many will want to pay such a price and the construction takes longer time too. I agree with Jaskel that architects are the guys to go to.

Kopi, New New drawing a painting for u har? Hehe.

My week seems like just starting. Sian.

Sounds similar to many of us I guess.

Reuben, Like to share with us what is the design for the kitchen?

that why the reno cost also goes up along the way. Ha.

I thought chemical engineering pay quite well compare to electrical engineering for example. Networking is IT related field. there is a huge demand for such professionals in the market. Aiya, if ur work is a chore, then it is not boring liao. How many can really say they love their job.. hai.

Blueocean, Like to share with us what u encountered?

Angel, any gd news to share or not - eg. pregnant? Hee.

Angel! Pat pat on the shoulder. It has been a while. Hope all is well for u.
