I feel that furniture will look better without a cutout at the back. Just my opinion.

It's normal to request for meet ups. Responsible IDs and contractors will want to know your needs better to get more accurate quotes.

Hi, Does anyone knows where can I find more info. about specs and pricing on LG built-in ovens? TIA.

Hi Zelly, What software did you use to draw this? Do you know where can we get pedestal of different designs and material for round table? I'm getting one too. TIA

I feel that Korean appliances have improved a lot. I'm intending to get more of LGs.

If rotten, everything have to be dismantled.

Besides using ants poison as suggested, buy a small tub of wall putty. Trace the ants from where they come from especially walls. Seal up the spot with the putty. Just scoop the amount with your finger and wipe down with damp sponge or cloth.

Umasiarah, Wow I really like your apt's layout even tho there r a few odd corners. A balcony for the master bedroom? very rare to find in HDB. This is HDB, isn't it? Yup. It is. Which part of Bt Batok is this? I hv a friend at Blk 288, near the Nature Reserve, the one with the curved balconies which I really like. Is this anywhere near there? Yup. That's the place. Looks like u hv plenty of space (envy, envy). I think you have laid it out beautifully, except for the rectangular dining table which seems out of place there. That table is the middle of the hall? It's meant to be my children's table. That's their play area. Some suggestions: - do u want to consider WIW for the MBR if u can squeeze in the space? Yes. We are putting a WIW in the MBR, think the direction of the door is upside down. Oops! - for the bedroom with the 2 single beds, suggest u put them side by side, with the window separating them. That way, the foot of one doesn't intrude into the face of the other That's what I mentioned to my hubby when he suggested this layout. He said just build a partition will do. (Ugly) Do you mean something like this? My initial idea was this? Which is better? - is that a fridge just outside the kitchen? Why not put it inside the kitchen itself? Yes. That's the fridge. Firstly, I'm not building a fridge base. Secondly, I can change the size of the fridge without restriction. So, it's there. - I would love to have a big island in the kitchen! This can double up as a breakfast or quick meal counter as well. My dream is to have an island with a sink, hob and hood built in. Like Jaime Oliver's kitchen in his earlier shows. Drool.... I enjoy his cooking shows too, though I've not tried any of his recipes. For a sink, hob and hood on an island, plumbing and wiring will be an issue in Singapore's context, unlike in the west where they have a floorboard underneath for heating purposes. Not to mention fumes all over the house due to Asian cooking. We can't have the best of both worlds right? Do u have any 'before' pictures to share? Not yet. Soon. Like your ideas of the french folding doors. I would so totally put them in my condo if the mgmt allows it. It really gives a classy feel to the apt. Do you mean the very 1st pic above? I like the doors too with the rollers. But it will leave a gap near the floor, if you don't mind. The rollers give great support to the door though. So there's no worry that the doors might sag in future. But I think this is an interesting concept that not much Singaporeans have tried. I will try to get a quote.

What's that area between the main bedroom and bath?

7 people in the household. I'm feeling claustrophobic that's why we got a new place.

Hi Umaisarah, Thanks for your suggestion. I did a layout from Giffy.com. Take a look in my T-blog. Now learning to use Google Sketchup.

The pebble look is interesting and special. Will cleaning and maintenance be difficult?

Already looked at a few IDs. Waiting for quotes. Did my own layout. Any comments?

I cannot use this. They don't have a Mac version.

Why like that , huh? Cannot change layout , a bit pity lor.

Hi, What layout drawing software are you all using to draw your layouts? There are several nice layout drawings in this forum. Would appreciate if someone can suggest. TIA.

Some sellers may say that they are near to MRT when actually they are near the MRT track. Is that considered near?

You can consider renting those storage unit like Big Orange for your stuff and stay with your parents. Or you can extend living in your current apartment by negotiating a later handover date with your buyer. You may need to compensate your buyer by paying some rent.

- Create a 45 degree solid wall in my kitchen, mainly to hang my dish tray and may be wall cabinet - To achieve 100% utilization of 6 bamboo holders Great idea! - Full glass sliding door to divide kitchen and dinning area Will this make your dining and kitchen smaller? Is there enough ventilation for your common toilet? Just curious, what software did you use to draw the floorplan layout? It's very nice. TIA.

It's the shade that I worry about. I can choose light cream yellow, like banana flesh or go for the more intense almost like banana milk yellow. Not too bright for me though. I still want to retain the creamy , creamy shade, that reminds me of fresh cream. Or just stick to bright , glossy white?

I like yellow too! Do you think it will look good on kitchen cabinet doors? I'm thinking of using this colour on mine.

I hope to get this fridge too leh. But my current Elba fridge is still going strong. No reason to change. 8 years already. Saw the offer too at HN.

This is a laundry tub. Eureka 35L compact tub and cabinet. The lines are clean and sleek. Doubt I will find this in Singapore. Some forumers here customised their wash basin. Can be a sink with cabinet at the bottom.

Is the ventilation fan noisy? How much did you get it for? Thanks.
