If u look in renotalk alone, there are many complaints against furniture shops (eg. Red Apple, Mode Studio, Furniture Club). Really don't know whether there are any gd and honest ones around. Maybe the super ex stores will be better (eg. Air, Boconcept)? But I am pretty satisfied with the sofa custom-made by the sofa maker whom I went to though. Their service is really gd and the price is decent. I think IKEA should be okie.

Congrats! Can shift in soon.

Great news! U must be very happy. . Told u if u bought from shops rather than big retailers, it is quite possible to change.

Maybe New New got tired of the green wall liao. That why change it to mirror. Mirrors just need to clean. Walls need to be repaint once in a while.

How is everything, Rasfene?

Walls also need to wipe with a wet cloth occasionally le. Hee. Dust stick to walls le. Hehe.

If u are not brand conscious then its okie. If they charge too much, then u should question them on the brand they are using. Otherwise, u might end up paying too much for normal products. Congrats. U can spend the $5k on other stuffs.

Kopi, must decorate a bit ma. Cannot be lazy. Hee. Wipe before CNY will do. Lol.

Bought from Novena/White for $599. On a side note, disappointed with their service. Actually bought 3 small stools from them but they keep on delaying the delivery or forget to deliver. Luckily I insisted them to deliver the coffee table first. They were persuading me to have everything deliver at the same time. Eventually, I told them to refund me the cost of the stools. I would not recommend anyone to buy from Novena. Once bitten twice shy.

No la. Trying to go for a simplified european feel. Toilet is small with low ceiling. Really cannot do much. The size of the mirror is not ideal. Really. And not elaborate lor. Hai. But can do with it for now. Hee. The tiles are not white. It is creamy color actually. Hee. A gold/silver frame will go well with the toilet tiles. Wanted to go a for a super grand theme though. Lol.

If u have not paid up fully, I would advice u to 'keep' the remaining 5 or 10%.

Bought something new for the common toilet to match the yellow wall. Hee. Rainshower Icon by Grohe! Hee. My MBR toilet mostly done. Wanted to customise a gold frame with elaborate design but end up getting this as I got mixed replies from different frame shops on customising a frame suitable for bathroom - eg. plaster design issue, humidity issue. End up getting a ready-made which is suitable for bathroom. The size is not perfect though - 125cm x 125cm would be gd. This is slightly too small. But would live with it for now. Realise I should have change the bathroom window too but it didn't cross my mind previously. Sigh.. I guess it is really hard to get everything perfect to own liking the first time round.

First time I see a reno mate post a video of their reno.

I like your style. If only everyone is like that, contractors/IDs cannot fool around.

Me too. I wanted glossy deep ocean blue laminate but cannot find. I checked and it is available in high gloss lacquered paint though. The one I chosen is the closest to the preferred blue. Oh, I haven't move in. Abit dragging my feet to move in. Lol. Anyway, can't move in yet as bed issue is not settled yet. Just confirmed the design of the bed head this wk. Abit kiddy and not many will do something like that. Checking the price to construct at the moment. . ID still owes me some stuffs though. Generally, we have done general cleaning for the kitchen and the living room as the space is almost done except that ID still owes me the 3 glass panel doors - long issue, don't wish to talk abt it now. We have bought necessary household items (eg. wok, cultery). Will start looking around for rice cooker and kettle next. While waiting for the bed to be ready, will get the kitchen in operational mode. Hee. I have many things that I want to do (eg. thought of doing a planter in the kitchen) but will put on hold till I get the necessary stuffs done. We are happy living with my parents at the moment. So not very rush to move in.

Hi Cat! So fast service air con? U haven't open house yet btw. Hee. Kopi's staircase railings are well done. I guess he will be putting up paintings/photo frames.

Do u think the workers will clean up the stainless steel top with 3M stainless steel cleaner or something before handover? Can't imagine cleaning up the top the first time round. Hee.

Bathtub is gd!

Congrats congrats. I bet u are in love with your new home.

But worse than standard housing in Australia or US. Hee. But HDB is gd.

Cheer up cheer up. Stay positive, gal. Some shops will take it back so long u not buying from big stores (eg. Courts, HN).

I think it is quite hard to change when the box has been thrown away and furthermore, u did not check the invoice.. U can try calling them up to attempt a change. Otherwise, I suggest u try to sell it away and buy the model u like.

Okie. Hee. Yah, now I think your place has lot of mirrors. Personally, I like the vibrant of the wall color previously. I like colors la. Hahaha. But mirror is fantastic too. And maybe the first in Sg to use mirror as backsplash. I haven't seen before yet.

I accepted this for my kitchen cabinet too. It is acceptable to me although I am unsure if this is the normal standard.

OpenNet issue has already been taken care of. Initially the design was not suppose to be this. But as we wanted to install a bigger TV, we end up having to do this. Hee. Thought of doing this: http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?s=...st&p=490698
