Sorry all, was tied up with work and also have to look after our baby at night. Now part 2 of our blog : - Floor plan (done) - Pictures of existing condition 1. Kitchen 2. Living room 3. Bedrooms He used to have more pictures (of the house) in his Note 2 few months back but the phone went short-circuit and all pictures is deleted because chip and board of the phone is changed all together when servicing. So the pictures we putting up is the last moments before we 动土 (ie. start renovation/ hacking the first few floor tiles). Pictures coming up next ....

Attached my floor plan. As you can see, the living room is spacious and the kitchen is long. This means that bedrooms will be a little smaller, which is disappointing..

Hello all This forum has been a great source to us on HDB designs and practical issues, so we thought of sharing our experience and hope that it may someday inspired others too. Some basic background of our unit - situated somewhere in Seng Kang - built ready in 2001 - 5 room HDB, corner unit with no balcony - 110 sqm - the last renovation was in 2001 (country style) We have from day 1 wanted to freshen up the house to feel "homely" but has hold on till today as we were broke after purchasing the unit (last few years the COV is crazy.....). So after a year plus we finally save enough to start renovating our unit!! For past 3 months we have been flipping magazines, browsing internet, talking to colleagues, discussing with ID/ contractors, shopping, to decide how we want to do up the house. It has been a little tiring especially with our baby is tagged along for all these excursions, haa. Ultimately, we decided on a black and white theme for the house. We decided not to go to too many ID/ contractors as we felt (also read in this forum) that it is very draining to keep repeating our ideas to different people. 4 is the max that we wanted to go through. - one is her colleague recommendation. She saw a photo of her colleague house and like how it was designed. - one is his SIL recommendation. It is commented they have good workmanship and so far his SIS has not heard any complains from the people his SIL recommended. - one is the very popular contractor in this forum. I believe he do not need further introduction. - There should be one more, a contractor recommended by her aunt. However, we did not approach this contractor as managing the above 3 has been difficult (becos of work commitments and baby needs over weekend). As we penned this blog together, we will identify ourselves using the following way: Her/ She = Wife His/ He = Hubby End of part 1 Part two will describe a little more of the present condition of the house and hopefully we figure out how to post pictures!!
