wow another pinnacle!! congrats on ur new home.. looks like v high floor?

gosh.. means u need as many compressor as aircons???... adding loads to ur electrical bills?

I luv ur 3d drawings!!! Wish i have so much space for a bigger WIW room like urs.. i've always fancied the idea of putting an ottoman in the middle of the wardrobe room like a real shop!!

Wah.. ur hubby believes in fengshui too??

congrats on ur new home! I spoke to Inside living for my small reno project too.. but price wise wasnt as gd.. so didnt work with them..

ic.. i just got a call from Eric asking if he can deliver it on the 25/26th Jan!! SO FAST! But my place wont be ready then so i scheduled it on the 1st wk of Feb.. so glad my furniture will be in time. Tink the promo 799 for console + coffee table is really gd.. i saw a very similiar set i wanted in Furniture Collection Center at sungei kadut for 1300 and at best 1100 after my lousy bargainning.. If u are going to buy more stuffs from hommage better go before CNY. he told me he's gg to raise prices after!!

What is DBSS flats? And i thought even if joint income is >8k u can still ballot new flats just no grants for 1st time owners?

Yea my new place's at Mohd Sultan.. definitely a more ex but better buy than Beacon!! I didnt know there were plans to build anything on the back of it.. thought it was a government land which is used for soccer and meant to stay green? Thank goodness my deal fell thru!!! 5 room flat 105 sqm is not too big considering most HDBs will have that as 4 room flat size but i guess if its still a small family/just 2 of u that size is aplenty! But movin from a 1600 sqft to a much smaller place must mean throwing out lotsa stuffs!!! I always thought there's a HDB rule that u cant ballot for a new HDB project if u have ever owned a private? or is the rule not in force anymore/at all? Will be fantastic if so, HDBs are by far the best prop investments if its bought in a good location direct from the govtment.....sure win investment!! Too bad i'm single and my folks have their own so no chance in getting even a resale one unless i turn 35 tomorrow.

no hacking needed for changai.. just a "step up" which is basically the thickness of the decking. The picture u showed there might be unrealistic if ur balcony;s like mine - cant grill it up/fit windows to close it.. so heavy rainy days = wet balcony. But if that pic is from the developer's site with the balconys close-able, it's an awesome idea and makes ur room looks bigger! So cool w the half parquet/half chengal flooring! But i wil NOT have plants.. simply no time for that. My reno just started last fri.. so far all electrical stuffs + wardrobe hacked + lights all up in 1 day.. 'm super please with their efficiency.. now its all up to the carpenter. & the target completion for everything in the MBR is on the 2nd when i;m back from my hols.. i'll be living there for real. Final/actual completion shld be something ard 10th Feb. As long as its before my party during CNY, all's good. I'm making a tv feature wall for the living room + a smaller one in the MBR... hate running wires and i like v v simple sleek thin tv consoles/panels which do not go hand in hand with the SCV box.. so i'm screwed and hoping my ID will come up with something brilliant tomorrow when i see her for the 3d drawings... if there's any.. (i'm not paying any design fee/consultation so mayb that's non-existant) My very minor reno alone cost 8600sgd. (I didnt bargain..she's a friend's wife).. but there's bound to be slight changes coz i'm cant make up my mind abt the carpentry works yet.. we'll see. My project's THE INSPIRA.. it came with a full kitchen - 2 induction 1 gas , microwave, oven, fridge and washing machine.. Very happy with that actually, saves me the trouble of having to read up abt wat to get and how much to budget for these.. now what's left is just a dryer to complete my apartment!

i ordered my tv console + coffee table from Eric too.. but will arrive before CNY he say.. how come urs will arrive only in APRIL?!?!?!

We got keys on the same day!!! I'm not at Pinnacle @ duxton tho.. Was looking at buying The beacon last year (condo just across Cantoment road) from Pinnacle.. thankfully didnt get.. the view of shophouses in Chinatown + raffles place 80% blocked by u guys.. the units i wanted could possibly look thru the 2 "holes" in Pinnacle and get a sneak preview only.. haha Anyway, congrats on ur new home.. hows the layout in the apt? Isit as small like a condo as what everyone i knew claimed?

haha.. Thanks! Unfortunately its the direct opposite to my tv feature wall so the balcony door will have to be closed & curtains pulled to watch my progs in comfort. And the school just in front of my place ( ) can possibly look up and see part of my unit so definitely have to use my day curtains to cover up at all times..

Ya i thought abt it too.. but my living + dining lights are super attention seeking.. I'm already moving away from my intended minimalistic decor alittle too much & this gorgeous will make the living/dining area OTT sigh..the problems of wanting one too many pretty items in the same space... In any case, i'll defnitely attempt to add it in somewhr (mabe remove my WIW room for this..) after i'm done w the whole place.. too pretty to forget abt it.

Heloo... yes i took this 799 offer. but that comes with a rectangular coffee table. I wanted a big square one which is 100 extra.. tink it will be worth it!

Thanks Angel.. i really like the birdcage too.. just cant find a spot for it in my place tho
