  1. Taking forever to get these photos up as renotalk gallery says I have no more space even though I've only uploaded a couple of photos.. :dunno:

    Anyway.. without further ado here are pics of my shoebox:

    Living/dining area

    (don't know if you can see but my bomb shelter door is dented! :angry2: gotta get them HDB people to do something about that...)

    Kitchen

    ( the HDB 'geniuses' strike again! why on earth did they make drainage pipe so far from the wall!! :curse: )


  2. think your collection of pictures on concepts is very nice.. i love almost of them!!!

    hi virieslove!

    Thanks! But whether ID can assist to make this happen is another thing. My ID I think got different taste which is worrying.. but work has started so too late for regrets!

    Yours is a super big 5 room, I can't wait to see what happens with your B&W theme!


  3. jus curious how much u got for ur 3 room flat for 3 years back. cos im waiting for my 3 room flat also hehe. but it would be in 2017

    Hi kindaichi!

    Mine is around 160k+.. guess it is considered cheap? Then again, it is at Sembawang where most people consider too ulu.

    Anyway hubby and I quite blessed lah, I really like the view of this place. We are lucky to be able to 'qualify' for a 3room... :sport-smiley-018:

    Where will your 3room be and how much did you pay?


  4. Wat a collection of pics of nice homes u hv there! Can really feel all the excitement in u liao! :dancingqueen:

    (Can c u hv a 'fetish' for legged animals.. err.. i mean furniture.. haha!)

    Hv u two gotten an ID? 贵有贵做 便宜有便宜做.. hope he/she is able to tranform the shoebox into a ur dream home! It's all about ideas & 功力 ya! :lol:

    :yamseng:

    Yesyes I love legs! The wooden kind! :P

    Got our idea 1-2 weeks back, and work has started already (a bit too fast for me!) so hope to post pictures soon when less busy with work, family, etc.


  5. hi zihui

    wondering if you could share how the fanco fan is so far?

    came very close to buying it last weekend then realised the motor sounds very loud. not sure if due to poor installation in the shop i was at, or really the fanco fan too powerful.

    thanks!


  6. Bedroom:

    gallery_56807_175_46229.jpg

    Very scandinavian.. I like the combination of wood floors + white walls + wallpaper + random pops of colour here..

    At the same time, also like the full height side table mirrors here, but this is a totally different 'feel'.. Wonder if it would be possible to mesh both styles?

    gallery_56807_175_16877.jpg

    ..As you can see I am super excited to start the reno process! :sport-smiley-004:

    Right now it looks like it will be a bit of a challenge to decorate our 3-room the way I want because the space is so tiny and the layout is quite fixed (almost no walls can be hacked!).. :jail: plus did I mention budget also not very big...

    Hopefully we can somehow incorporate at least some of the above!

    When I can I will try to post some photos of my empty flat before reno works start.


  7. More ideas/inspiration...

    Kitchen:

    gallery_56807_175_85147.jpg

    gallery_56807_175_111093.jpg

    For kitchen, would love to have everything white, or have raw wood cabinets..

    Dining area:

    gallery_56807_175_24860.jpg

    I like the wood colour and the wall paper here! And how the dining table is super simple..

    gallery_56807_175_13091.jpg

    Like the raw woody floors and clean simple table. Wish I had such gorgeous windows to let this much natural light in! But I am really living in a shoebox.. :curse:

    Bathroom:

    gallery_56807_175_270239.jpg

    This is a dream bathroom! Subway tiles, cool flooring, wood, big ceramic basin, even bigger mirror!


  8. Hi PrawnMee, congrats on ur new cosy little 'shoebox' (mine just a slightly larger box at 74sqm :P), & welcomed to the 3-roomers' club & to RT! :yamseng:

    Not many active 3-room BTO bloggers around... Enjoy your reno journey! :)

    Looking forward to following ur updates & pics!

    Thanks jus4fun! Very excited to start my journey. Fingers crossed everything go smooth smooth. :thumbs up:


  9. It has been a while since my first post as hubby and I have been super busy with sourcing for ID, purchases, work, and life in general. :dunno:

    I will share a bit about how we finally chose our ID.. but first, thought I would share some pictures of how I would love my home to look like. (Of course not everything is feasible lah, but still, a girl can hope...)

    Living Room:

    gallery_56807_175_122353.jpg

    First time I saw this picture, I thought - :idea: I must have this! My main door opens directly to a view of my ENTIRE living room area.. so this will give us some (very stylish) privacy.

    gallery_56807_175_120823.jpg

    I really like the furniture in this photo. Clean and neat lines, very neutral with pops of colour.

    gallery_56807_175_9012.jpg

    I like the idea of having photos above my sofa. Think I dig the mid-century modern look quite a bit.

    gallery_56807_175_57992.jpg

    I like the furniture and the cosy feel of the house.. but too many colours for me! :bleah:

    gallery_56807_175_168607.jpg

    Again mid-century modern furniture - can't get enough of those legs.. and really digging the wallpaper.

  10. Hi all,

    It's a 3 std room (resale) flat. The ex-owner had a country side design for her flat 15 yrs ago. She hacked 1 of the bedrooms to have a bigger living room, extended her toilet area, open kitchen concept.

    But all these... ;) will be gone :P

    Excited to see what you will do with the space! :)


  11. Hi all!

    Hubby and I are longtime lurkers of renotalk and finally decided to start our very own renoblog! :dancingqueen:

    After a long long wait of over 3 years (from BTO release in March 2010..), we have finally collected our keys on Childrens' Day this year! (Auspicious date! Sign of things to come..? :notti:)

    Ours is a very very small 3 room in Sembawang, just 67sqm 'big'.

    Here is our floorplan:

    Your layout is really unique for a 3 room! :good:

    I will be starting reno on my 3 room soon too.. but mine is BTO, soooo much smaller-looking than yours. :~
