Rover

No prob. Will check wif Roy (gonna sign up wif him soon). Reno hope to start in end Nov.

The idea is there. But personally, I opined that the look will be better if the thickness of the plank is same as the rest of the console structure.

Thinking of doing something diff. May be forgoing the island kitchen and stick with normal kitchen cabinet design. I seldom cook so am now contemplating to revamp the traditional 3NG layout concept and to hv a balcony create out frm the kitchen space. Typical 3NG kitchen's length is abt 6m. Will segregate out abt 3m frm the kitchen windows area to form a balcony area (smoking cum cosy corner). Will expand the remaining kitchen area slightly into the old living room area (refer to my precious posts on hacking the common room to become a new living room area). Since I seldom cook, I dun need a large kitchen area. Reason to 'eat' into the old living room area is to create smoother walking space, rather making the kitchen area crampy after creating the balcony. A small coffee table + 2 chairs, coupled with nice wall or hanging ceiling lamp, and different wall/floor tiles shld create the desired ambience for the cosy corner at the balcony.

I havent been to ur place.....

Kns. Own self say nice. Lol. But honestly it's nice lah Luv the concealed door. Thumbs up!

Last of the installments. Enjoy.

Decided to engage Roy frm IR Design. Reviews on his works and attitude are positive thus far and my discussions wif him were pleasant. Though haven officially signed the contract and apply for my reno loan, he has been helping in his advices. Will be gradually getting him to assist in tiles selection and purchases of the necc accessories to prepare for the reno. Working on a tight schedule so hope that all the preparations works could be planned out in advance first. Initially hope to complete reno by year end but doubted so since seller insisted on 8th week completion. Most likely could only shift in by mid Jan as reno will takes min 6 weeks.

Congrats and welcome fellow 3-roomer. Hope to see progress of ur reno. When are u targeting ur reno?

Current place completion of sale on 19 Sep. Will be putting up at my mum's place for the interim.

Seller asked for full 8 weeks (completion date fixed on 17 Oct), after that extension 1 mth as they buying another resale too. Means earliest my reno will start will be in mid Nov.

1st apptm this Fri (24/8). Will be able to 'lock-in' my completion date. Thereafter will commence discussions with ID on reno. Counting down....

Able to share how much is the sofa and where u purchased it frm?

How much is this sofa? 2 or 3 seater?

Hi, appreciate u could pm me the cost of the chair absurd bought frm where? Thks

Ya, am at a delimma actually. While agreeing on ur points, am concerned on the quality. Anyway, while I'm not revealing the source of the quotation yet, it's frm a reliable ID who is one of the recommended ones in RT. So far feedbacks on him has been good, both in supervision, managing and after sales.

Getting ID. Received feedback that it's kinda exp. Any other views/comments frm others?

Appreciate comments on the quotation: Is $46K alot for this work?

Been wondering, for those who dun hv cash in hand and their reno cost more than 30k, how do go abt resolving it? Cos bank only offers 6x salary or 30k, whichever is lower. Appreciate those who had been thru this give me a thinker (pm me if not convenient to reveal in public domain). Thks in advance!

Could be meant for private instead of hdb.
