wow i didnt know Tampines has real jumbo.... Ok i'll show you the pics it is actually quite nice now after we changed the format and we're left with flooring, painting and carpentry will find some time to update some photos this week

Hacking starts 2 weeks ago and the place is in a mess now... The original bedroom beside the kitchen has been turned to dining area The kitchen and living room is now 'opened'

Collected house key in Mid October and the ex-owners did a very good job in clearing out their stuffs. The house was very clean when we went to open the door... the original dining room which will be turned into mom's bedroom the balcony which will be part of the new living room masterbedroom

I bought opposite the library. Also 400+ Mine is also under the 5room category (5A) but it's 2 units of 3 rooms hacked into one (by government) so I get 4 bdrms as well

Yes!! I'm aiming to move in before Christmas So I can have parties from Christmas all the way to CNY heehee

Haha..yes! definitely better than sea sick!! I had actually decided not to buy the swing already but when I saw your pic again it gets me thinking again!! *not determined enough* urrggghhh..

I'll be collecting keys end of this month, will go to the house and take a look again and visualize how it looks in my new place Thank you!!

haha....definitely got space..i tried to sit on it but i got a bit giddy don't know is it because I am getting old. It was quite alright in the past when I went to my cousin's house and sit on it i remembered i enjoyed it very much... Can i know how much did you pay for it?

I love your house !! I bought my house because I needed 4 bdrm as well but I need it near to the MRT hence my choice is limited Can I know which part of Tampines is your house at?

I like your swing!! Am still thinking if I want to get one for my new house

Last weekend we went shopping and bought our Sofa, dining lights and dining table, expectedly! We went with the 'look see look see' mentality and didn't expect to find stuffs that we like. Especially for the dining lights, it's 'love at first sight' for my mister. T I have been looking for high back sofa. It's difficult to find for Fabric high back, I need sofa that we can sit with our head rested somewhere....so it's more relaxing. I guess it's easier to get leather ones and I almost gave in to leather sofa until I saw this. I like the colour combination of this sofa (except that 2 little red cushions which are not part of the deal) and it was not expensive so we paid a deposit for it. I am still thinking if I want L shape but the shop said they can custom made to 3 seater @ the same price, I do not mind though. Will think about it. This is the dining table that my mister like. It is 1.8m long. I find that very big but he likes the size and so I gave in to him. This is love @ first sight. It is not cheap but we agree that this will be the statement piece in our home. Good luck for cleaning!

Thanks May. Guess I need to wait for my contractor to find or other forumers to advise.........I'm just being too 'free' hence looking around

Hi Does anyone know where I can find aluminium pole for tv? The pole will be in the middle of my hall to enable the tv to turn 360 degrees. If anyone of you who has installed a pole tv at home and has home pictures to share I would greatly appreciate. Thanks for your help!

We will finally be collecting keys end of this month and has decided on the layout of the house. As mentioned earlier we had not wanted to push back the kitchen wall and have decided on that. Instead, we'll build 2 separate wardrobes. It also makes more sense as it opens up the space in the bedroom. We have decided to build a standard 6 feet wardrobe just beside the room entrance and another 6 feet wardrobe at the empty wall opposite the toilet entrance. I saw this in Home & Deco and love it immediately: I wanted to build this (minus the island) but I also want to have a row of drawers underneath the windows. I dont know how to combine drawers with glass wardrobe (seems funny to have glass and wooden drawers side by side). I have yet to discuss this with my contractor. In this case I will still have my big space and big wardrobe without spending extra in hacking. The contractor has yet to produce the id for my master bedroom but i'm quite certain it'll turn out well. This is how my layout will look like: As our living area is small (funny layout with pillars here and there thus we can't have a good big living area) we have decided to fully utilize it by creating a rotatable tv console. In this case, it can be turned to face whoever is sitting on the sofa, at the dining area as well as those sitting near the cosy corner where a full height bookshelf will be built. It really took us a long time to finally finalize the layout coz my instructions to everyone is simple, low cost, fully utilize the space and the house has to look neat. We should be able to achieve the look and I'm waiting for the rest of my 3d drawings to complete.

I am looking at lights for dining area and saw these few from Taobao. But i'm still thinking if it's worth the hassle or I should buy from JB or just locally....
