    Thanks doubleM. We are still exploring the possibilities...see what ID suggest. But we did consider the study but afraid ventilation within... So now is to make space and make a bigger kitchen..hehe...so many things to research and think...

    Yard... We have the wc in the wash area so not that possible to put washing machine inside.

    Need to think harder..hehe

    Thanks for the input..greatly appreciate .

    doubleEM,

    thank you for the feedback on bath tub. really appreciate it.

    my EM is at hougang...very old flat. has to redo the whole house.

    here have a few things i still cannot figure out

    1. laundry area - behind kitchen? but it will be so small and with kids ard it's alot to do.. care to advise?

    2. balcony - we decided to extend it out and have a bigger living area

    3. utility room - likely to extend it out to be part of kitchen area

    4. study area - this is where we have an issue dunno where to place it.

    5.storage - under the stairs is not enough and we are not sure how to go about.

    already contacted a few ID, seen 2 drawings with out budget but the ID was not able to achieve out above with the budget.. =(

    decided to explore a bit more ID and see what they can do..

    anyone can advise on the above?

    still in exploring stages and hunting ID and getting quotations.. so tiring.. =(

    those with same floor plan care to share what are the uses for the utility room? it's kind of small and no ventilation.. =(

    thank you very much..

    really alot to learn from all.. still reading some blogs to gain some experience and idea..

    Hi All

    This is my first time trying out a blog. I figured that we should document our journey of metamorphising our resale EM into our dream Sky Parlour.

    Kindly pardon if we get our formatting wrong. This is something very new to us.

    Just a bit of background. We have been married for many years, and have been living in a small 4-room HDB. Recently in the last few years, 2 little people suddenly appeared, and started running around in our house. There is a need for a bigger house for all our belongings now, as well as for the 2 little people to run around in.

    Hence we decided to move to a bigger house.

    But Singapore is so small, all our houses are merely pigeonholes, and getting private/ landed/ condo is definitely within the "Only in our dreams" category. So we decided to get an Executive Maisonette. This is only affordable after we sell our 4 room. But after taking all the financing / bank loan/ 20% down for the EM, we realised "Oh $#!Ϯ !! We forgot to budget in the renovation!!"

    Hence here we are, reading other people's experiences in their journey hoping to learn more. And now we're blogging our journey.

    Floor Plan
