I will think the sofa colour is matching with the console..fabric after some time will stink and have stains coz our legs sweat and the fabric absorbs it unless u wear long pants everyday and on the aircon 24hrs. In addition, a light coloured sofa will make the living room brighter in the day unless U wanna turn on your ceiling lights throughout the day.
I support your wife's sofa choice, as watching TV with a comfy sofa is so shioK afterall a house is about comfort. Although gel well is impt but i will quote u, nice shoes are not comfy and comfy shoes are not nice. high heels vs sport shoes
On the kitchen area, cannot expect island to be clean and sleek all the time, otherwise the use of island only limit to food only. Island can be use to prepare food mah..For microwave oven, if u do not need to use it often then can forget it. I will suggest KIV on selling the sofa, who knows it might slowly grow on you.

Hi, I did think of hacking the study room. But I need it for my little home workshop, where I hand craft leather wallets.
My current workspace is at the balcony where it's hot and dusty and at night I have to suffer mosquito bites. Having a dedicated room with aircon to work on my leather projects is like heaven to me.
I had viewed several units with the same layout as ours and the area outside the study room is quite dark during day time.
That area will be ideal for your home-office. An idea to share with you..if u want your living room to look bigger, can consider hack half of the wall horizontally then add on glass wall and door all the way to the ceiling. This allow more natural light to your living room and it also look more roomy and classy. Blinds can also be installed when you require more privacy.
In addition, you may also consider level up your balcony to have a bigger living room since the study room will be there.

I had the exact layout with yours. Mine is at CCK. I removed the study room and I had a huge living room and the space is a luxury compared to BTO nowadays. The downside of the house are the 2 toilets..kinda eat away precious space. My reno cost about 55K in total. Everything also change, from floor to ceiling.

Perhaps U like to consider choosing maroon for kitchen cabinets coz my sis had this colour and it made the kitchen very dark during the day where we dont turn on the lights. She kinda regret not choosing lighter colours.

Dear Friends,
Our new home was officially handed over to us recently and we have engaged U-Home to do up our ID.
I will like to share our humble experience here while we go through the transformation of our new home.
First, A snapshot of current place without ID. Area Size 1334 sqft
Living Area
Due to Fengshui, We are relocating the main door while leaving the gate in original position.
The whole house will be hacked except the marble flooring in Living area & Dinning Area.
Our ID- Pen Teoh from U-Home is the architect of this new home of ours. So far, he has been accommodating and helpful.
Will keep this thread updated once renovation work starts on 21st Jan 2013.
Estimated Duration of this whole project is around 2 months as we have to shift in by 24 April 2013.
How is the workmanship from U-home ?

Should any of you decide to have PD doors installed for the bathroom or whatever, do reconsider.
We have both toilets installed and the plastic parts for both had cracked and a piece of plastic part at my MBR's had not only cracked but came off. It's only 3 mths
. Though the door is still functional without the missing piece, it does kept us wondering when the panels will become dislodged.I am still contemplating on whether should I go for PD door or the traditional one piece door..it seems v troublesome to operate the PD door..imagine u are urgent and had to go thru the push-slide motion and then turn knob to lock the door.

Congrats, where is ur place and how much u bot?
It's at CCK and close at 485.

After searching for so long.

Congrats on your new home ! I also had the same layout as yours but still waiting for the 2nd appointment with HDB.

Hello people,
Just bought a resale 5(I) unit and reno is to take place in a few months time. My ID recommend me to install PD door for both toilets instead of those traditional PVC casement door (one piece) as it saves space and more trendy.
Any forummers here can share their experience with PD door ? Is it durable, lasting and convenient to use ?
Personally I find it troublesome to slide, push, then push and slide back and then lock it.

Slowly adjust lor..what about your kitchen layout for the microwave ? The area U took pic should have some space to hold the microwave or ricecooker .
