I am searching for clean line sofa for our new house... like the ones I see online from XZQT website but am skeptical that the costs may be too ex... any recommendation on where i can find sofas of such designs? thanks!

Looks like good progress has been made at your place. Can't wait to see your feature wall at the living room!

here's something I found online. Have not purchased anything from them yet but intend to check it out soon. http://www.aamor.com.sg/promotions.html

Anyone heard or of bought stuff from Aamor before? They hv a promo now on the Yale locks & some other sanitary stuff that I am considering to get. http://www.aamor.com.sg/promotions.html

Like the laminates that you chose for your kitchen.... your reno is progressing well... I have yet to choose our IDs/ contractor tho' have more or less decided on the wet works contractor... Now headache on carpentry & whether I really need ID or not...

Thanks alot of sharing! We saw a dining table that we liked... I think the shop is under Star Living subsidiary one... Sales man also gave us a good impression... not pushy at all.

Hi, Anyone know where I can get a Sensor kind of water taps? Like those in public toilets? Considering to install in my girls' room.... 'cos they always don't switch off the water tap properly...

Wow! You have major reno works? takes about 5-6mths to complete the renovation? I only gave my contractor abt 6-7weeks... He did warned me that he wont be able to finish all at a go and likely have to be like 80% complete... then the rest of the 20% do when I already moved in kind....

Anyone heard of the brand Magnum for heaters & sanitary wares? supposedly American brand wor... saw an advert at a shop around Alexandra Village... selling the toilet bowl (1 piece kind, new design) + wash basin for $288.

You know what? For our new place, we are gonna hack away all the existing floor & wall tiles.... I will be gg for the cement look. Save $... hahahaha...

I like your 2 furry stools... can u PM me the costs & where u get it from? Many thanks!

really love that brick wall design of yours... might steal your design for our new house... Hope you dun mind!

We have 4 toilets. All must redo since everything is in its original condition... That's why we are thinking of doing overlay instead of all the hacking... reckon can easily save $2-3K here...

If you have already decided to pay the agent's fee to him, then you will have to work out with him on the payment terms. For my last house transaction, we did agreed to pay our agent her fees over a 6 months' period... interest free installment. She was kind enough to let us do that and of course, we signed an agreement to commit that we will pay lah. All depends on how flexible your agent wants to be. Good luck!

Not sure if it works but old folks say put in charcoal to absorb the smell aft reno for a week or so... supposedly help to adsorb the smell wor...

Hi! Thanks so much for sharing. We are on a tight tight budget. As usual so much to do but so little moo-lah. Everything is still very preliminary now... just trying to spin off ideas on how to cut down my reno costs. The house is abt 15years old now... was told tt so far, no leakage issues (touch wood)... so we'll see...

Anyone bought furniture from Star Living before? Whats your experience like? Thanks for sharing!

Anyone do toilet overlay for your house before? To cut costs, we are thinking of doing toilet overlay instead of all the hacking... can share your experience? Pros/ Cons? Thanks!

If you have not found one, I can recommend my agents too (also comes in a pair, 2 guys) but you only pay 1 commission. They sold off my HDB at the price I am happy with during the 1st viewing. Arranged for 8 different sets of ppl to come view the house. Also helped me found my new home within 3 days of viewing (spread out on weekends).

looking forward to seeing your progress.... we also bought an inter-terrace.... but keys collection still looooong way to go. Now only starting the prep work.

got a silly question here.... I see the ceiling fans have different no. of blades (2, 3, 5, 6), etc... Is it cos more no. of blades = more wind/ cooler? Thanks!

we had something similar installed in our bathroom abt 5yrs ago... IF I remembered correctly, our ID brought us to 1 of the shops @ Jln. Besar... sorry, ain't much help.

hmm.... we don't exactly cook alot at the current juncture... possibly once a week? Or max, twice a week...

Hi All, Planning to get Induction hobs for our new home... Anyone using induction hobs for your kitchen now? How long have you been using it & what are the pros & cons? Many thanks for sharing!

My mom asked me about how much my hubby earns... I always 'under declare'... same goes for my own salary. She will also asked me how much I make. For my mom - I know that she will - 1) Compare with her friends' kids, 2) ask me for more allowance, 3) ketok me for expensive meals/ gifts My in laws know how much my hubby earns cos he is very open to them and also know that they wont anyhow ketok him. But they do not know exactly how much I earn... only know (through one of hubby's kaypoh sis) that I earn about the same as the hubs. Both hubs and myself know exactly how much we each earn.
