Finally the blinds are up, and now the house looks more complete.

indeed, the previous owner actually rebuilt the wall to reduced the size of the utility room to become a smaller store room. And now I further hack away the wall to create an open kitchen concept...

Have you considered moving the shoe cabinet to the bottom right corner, with the seating bench next to it on the left just below your window? In this way you can free up the space and have an open kitchen with dining table rotates 90deg from your current plan...just a thought.

OK, we are almost there..Kitchen cabinets up, storage cabinets up, painted the house, laminates done, down lights installed and some furnitures are in.

Dining table and chairs bought seperately and delivered.

Hi, Indeed the house was kept at a good condition by ex-owner. I engaged a contractor to do the cooridnation reno work for me and the cost come up to 40ish k (renovation cost is so expensive nowadays, still remember I paid around 20k reno for my previous house..)

Spotlight installed at the walkway.

Now the main door is up and it looks so different.

Utility room is converted to be part of kitchen and shoe cabinet.

We were hunting for a fridge replacement as our current one is rather old and we've used it since we moved in to our current house 12 yrs ago. Starting from Samsung, then change mind to Sharp, and then LG. But finally put our hands on Hitachi, I guess its a popular model in this forum as well.

Bought the dining lights from Ikea, like the connector, very retro looking.

Finally the common toilet is up. This is a dry toilet mainly for guest and thus no shower point will be built in. Really like the clean cut look of it.

We actually wanted to retain the living and dining floor without doing any reno work on it. But after exposed to different ideas and much considerations, we deceided to overlay the existing tiles with laminations.

Hi, this is at Bukit Batok.

One of the must change items is the window, and it is also the one which get changed first. We are very happy with the outcome, more lights are coming into the house due to the clear glass we've chosen. Also not forgetting the colour of the window frame actually makes the house looks different.

Thanks. That was the first thing we thought when we saw the house. The house was kept very neat and tidy by the ex-owner I would say. And we really like the layout of the house with open concept kitchen. But after few rounds of self-poison from this forum, I gathered many wonderful concepts from the people here and decided to at least do up the house in a practical and livable way.

Gone were the glory days...

Thanks for the warm welcome. As this unit is on a rather low floor and we are getting very little light coming into the kitchen and dining area. And to keep it simple we decided to change the windows and grills, hack down the original utility room (or store room which was done up by ex-owner), which will provide us plenty of kitchen space and nature light. We will thus having a open kitchen.

Living area MBR toilet Stairs

Dinning and Kitchen area, most of the action will be happening here.

Hello World! We bought an EM in the West back in Oct 2013. Knowing that we ain't going to do much to the new house, decided to go slow on the renovation. As usual, first thing first is the floor plan.

Your house is tastefully done! I Like.
