Delusion

Living area still awaiting for sofa and dining table. Brick wall hand-painted by ID herself. She used to teach Art we were told. My wife also helped to paint and will be hanging some interesting typography art on that wall. And I have gotten my wonderful dear ah ma to help sew our whole house curtains!

Huge black glass. All our toilet doors and shower screens are also black to fit in our theme. Another view of Master small dressing area. Another special item, black powder coated wrought iron for hanging clothes.

My lovely wife's dresser, all with Blum tracks! ID also gave us this pic to choose the handles for the dresser drawers and specially imported them from abroad. But we budget so chose the cheapest!

I had a fun time doing hand modelling for my ID for the specific placement of accessories. Love them to the max. My ID is really a gold fanatic. Hahaha!

Gold accessories supplied by ID

Here's the amazing idea and designs for both toilets. We love it the moment we saw the drawings! As wall tiles for new flats cannot be hacked, but being so hideous we thought we have no choice but to overlay. But our genius ID came up with a solution to dress the tiles! The black and gold toilet has superb comments from everyone including my reserved parents!

Bronze mirror shoe cabinet.

Black board wall at the end. We got Blum drawers and hinges for the whole house! Its really easy breezy pushing for all. Ha! My graphics designer wife will be customising kooky decals for the backsplash and other areas hopefully soon!

I am not going to bore you all with the hacking pics and dusty dirty process. Will just post done up pics which is more interesting right? Lets start with Kitchen Entrance. Drawing, Real thing.

Our final layout version 1001. LOL.

With our ideas coupled with loads of excitement, we met up with a few IDs and the price was as u all guessed it, hefty! Then my ex-colleague told me about her ID who just started her own firm and might be 'discountable'. We grabbed the chance and met up with her at her place, also her showroom. She is very friendly and helpful and best, she understood my wife's wants! Best! We told her our theme and ideas and she patiently listened and asked us alot of questions as well. We asked for drawings and she delivered them within 2weeks. As we are very careful people, wat with all the horror stories of IDs and contractors, we make sure all our queries were answered and the designs, materials, colours were all confirmed before we signed on the line. Yes, after more than 50 (or more perhaps) amendments, and almost 2 months later, we finalised everything and signed with her. I guessed we are lucky we found such a patient ID to work with! Dont think any firms will keep giving us amended drawings. Haha! She uses Google Sketchup to draw but we felt that its very close to the real thing! Especially the toilets. I shall post the pics later.

Inspirations from Antoinette. Inspirations from a shop in Bugis Junction. Suddenly brain freeze cannot remember the name. Haha.

Our wedding last year was done with Baroque in mind as my wife loves the styling and intricate details that came with it. Just look at her gown and heels. We pretty much decided our first home to be the same as well! Bold and colourful with lots of detailings.

More. Hollow tiles in Kitchen. Hollow wall.

Our tiny balcony. Clever or waste of space? Haiz.

When we got our keys in Jan, we did what many taught us, knock on every inch of the house. Really tiring. As u can see, we found many places with hollowness and luckily, BSC followed up and rectified all. I think we shocked our ID with all the nicely 'framed' masking tapes. Hahaha!

Hello to all. Was lazy to start my own thread at first but seeing recent renos were either the industrial or scandi look, I decided to show u all my more kua zhang house. No offence to those renos mentioned, I think they are great, just that me and my wife preferred to go the other way for our first house and we shall see how long we can tahan the look. LOL. Floorplan. We hacked the kitchen entrance walls halfway down. Btw, my reno is finishing soon!

Haha JB wins hands down for all items la. cannot compare at all!
