Well, after staying for 3 years... we are actually embarking on our 2nd renovation to our place. O.O And, this triggered me to come back to complete this blog as we will be working with Edmund again. I have to say... after hearing renovation process and visiting some of my friends places, I am glad that I engaged Edmund to be part of our home building process. =) Will update with pics on our 2nd reno. =)

Our wardrobe. All rooms are fixed with such wardrobes.

Kitchen Bar top... The wall was hacked to allow more light into the kitchen and idea came about to just make a bar top. =)

Living Room, Keeping it simple.

Common Bath, Prints too.

Yes its really nice. Something different I guess. =) It was a random idea and Edmund was very accommodating to our request. =)

Prints on one slide of the wall. =)

Master Bedroom's Toilet

Time to update my t-blog after a loooong time.. Must do justice to Edmund and my place. =)

Yup, I liked the 2 balconies idea too. =) It's 144sqm.

Maybe? =)

Well, that was back in early July. Then Edmund's team came in to start the hacking process. They were pretty efficient in hacking things, all done within 2 days. Kitchen gone Toilets gone Walls gone

dining room The previous owners cut a hole in the wall between the dining and kit, so we decided to make it even bigger to allow better ventilation and light into the kit.

Some pictures of the view and the state of the house before renovation. We will be doing up the toilets, kitchen and service balcony. View... We simply loved the trees and view though it can be better. =( common toilet master toilet Previous owner did not do anything to both the toilets since when it was built. Though clean we decided to "modernise" it. kitchen The kitchen top is the old ceramic top so we decided to change it. part of living room This curved part of the house gave us a huge headache. So we decided to "cut" half of it away to allow more light into the house. Well, we just love a bright home.

Hello! I'm near the junction facing more towards Toh Tuck I guess. We can't hear much of the traffic noise at the junction. =)

Yeah, some say the design is abit weird. O.O I like the environment though. It's near a nature park. =) Our contractor Edmund has been kind to me. So everything is well on its way, will be done in 2-3 weeks time. Due to $$ constraint, we went for something simple but modern I guess, nothing fanciful. Pictures coming soon... =)

When I first went to look for Edmund, I could not find his office! I thought it would be along the shops at level 1. Little did I know that his shop is a stand-alone. I kind of feel that his office is converted from a "ma-ma" shop. I thought it was kind of innovative, for those who have been there, they will know what I mean. =) Its is a nice shop though with the big turtle. Prior to signing the contract, we spend so many hours discussing designs and space planning. I remember there was once we spent 4 hours on a Saturday evening in his office. -_-

Hello everyone, Finally, I found time to start my own t-blog. My renovation is 85% done, so far so good. Prior to the reno, I was looking and following all the t-blogs. So I thought it is about time for me to contribute. =) We got our resale flat only this year after 2 years of trying for BTO (sigh) and 1 year of searching for the right resale flat. Out 1st appt was back in Feb and 2nd appt in June. During the interval, my wife and I were busy looking for the best ID/contractor. I must say it was such a torture after going through so many IDs and contractors. But finally, after looking through much feedback from the t-blogs and for the cost factor, we decided to engage Edmund from DX interior. Like what the others have said, he is really responsible in his work and I guess we have been working well with each other. =) My floor plan: Uploaded with ImageShack.us
