Hi Shaowei, Just emailed you

Hi cocobliss, We are expecting to collect keys no later than March 14. Actually for our estate, blks A to D have already collected their keys. My blk is E. So it shouldn't be too far off. Yup we chose and signed with an ID before collection of keys, but our ID did share that measurements may change and he will deduct or add according to the per ft cost he quoted us

Hi there, congrats on your new home We have the same layout for our home. Looking forward to sharing of ideas!

Hi there, can share which shop in Malaysia you bought your ceiling fans from & how much they cost? Thanks!

Hi there, we have really similar floor plan! Looking forward to seeing your ideas

finally managed to take a photo of my floor plan. as below! what i like about it is that it is blockish enough with no odd angles. easier to plan for furnitures and no wasted space as well. but then again, i know most new BTOs are also 99% the same floor plan la. it's a 5 room apartment at 112m sq. Internal area is 110m sq. Sharing our quotation which I hope is reasonable enough (after all the homework done, i am at least 90% sure). Will not be providing the breakdown though, so if keen, i think it's better to share via PM instead.

Hi Songz, Thanks! Looking forward to it. Crossing fingers it will be a smooth sailing one Cheers!

Will be uploading my floor plan this evening. Can't seem to find it in my phone album but have sometime on the train so decided to blog. Too excited! On choice of colours, as our theme is more modern minimalist, I've decided more towards white & silver for the carpentry work for the entire house. but not sure what r the matching paint colours for it though.. need to browse more websites / home design magazines etc for inspiration. Can anyone share whether having the same design theme throughout the house (except my future baby room) be boring? Our idea was to have a uniform design so it's not changing from one room to the next. Thought it might be messy..

Thank you for dropping by and reading my renovation blog from page 1 Just wanted to share that I've collated all the posts about my renovation journey to my personal blog. If you wish to cut through the clutter of people asking for PMs for my ID, do go direct to www.guojiawen.com and choose the tags "Dream Home / Renovation / Home Deco". Cheers! Jiawen ____________ Have been reading renovation blogs for quite sometime and found the info all really useful. Hence decided to start my own reno blog to document our reno journey Our dream home is a 5 room BTO at Woodlands Meadows. Currently awaiting for keys which should be ready by March (hopefully), since our block is the last one hanging. HDB, please release our keys soon! As my hubby & I are will be shuttling back & forth from overseas, we were pretty eager to settle our choice of ID. Have done our research since Oct 2013, shortlisted about 15 firms, asked for quotations, met with 6 IDs and further shortlisted our choice. Finally signed with our ID two days back. Overall we have good vibes and chemistry with Jason (our ID), who is working together with his brother (owner of the company). Price quoted was reasonable, Jason was really flexible in terms of our requests and after viewing a work in progress home, the workmanship was good as well. Everything is great so far. We are also really happy with the reno package! The next step is to choose the colour & overall feel of what we like and update Jason before he helps come up with our 3D designs. Am really looking forward!
