  1. Hi guys, Will wallpaper make your house warmer? As in hotter..? Thanks.
  2. Hi, will be getting keys to my unit in end July. This is a 12 year old penthouse unit, 1500sqft on one floor and another 1500sqft on roof terrace. This will be my 3rd time moving house and doing reno. First time, got HDB and got very tight budget so blur blur and did something just to fit the budget. Engaged a reno firm from IMM. They call themselves ID but I really cannot tell the difference between contractor and ID. Not such thing called concept nor theme. The project manager was the co-owner. Ah beng, but very nice guy. He can sketch very well on paper. Only impression is that the carpentry work was quite exp. Second time, got second hand condo. Got even tighter budget..only spent $20k on reno and fittings. All use existing flooring, doors, toilets and wardrobes. Also no concept no theme. Got ID, friend of ours. I think she must have regretted working with us. We didnt follow her 3D drawing cos too exp. This time, I am NOT going on tight budget again. For once, there must some sort of concept and theme. Therefore I want start the reno process correctly and get a real ID. Steps, I think, (and still thinking): 1. Read a lot on Renotalk.com 2. Get floorplan (done) 3. Decide what are the big items to keep. Decided to keep: Flooring, Wardrobes, Kitchen, Toilets. These are still looking quite good and well maintained.. 4. Gather lots of pictures for my wife to see which few she likes, so that I can show ID and get HIM to figure a theme for us (current stage..gathering pictures) 5. Get possession of the unit and go talk to 3-5 IDs and get their proposals... 6. Pray and choose ID 7. Continue to pray.. What should I expect from ID? 1. will the ID come interview my wife, me and even my kids? 2. will the ID help me choose lightings, fittings, curtains and furniture? 3. how about decorations like paintings, indoor and outdoor plants? Thoughts: Looks like the theme will be constrained by existing brownish broken marble flooring, green window frames, brown wardrobes.. Welcome any advice, please.
