    in the end ....it was curtains for us....again. we were toying with the idea of getting blinds... everyone..from our reno contractior uncle to the the curtain guy..said curtains was the better choice. in terms of pricing... maintenance..aesthetics. yes..i agree with s0journer ... blinds will always remind me of ..work..office..pffftt! oh well...curtains works for us. maybe you wanna try blinds in a room first..see the effects. i have seen photos of some forummers here..who have installed blinds...looks lovely!

    Our reno contractor was quite kool.. we told him our timeline...our budget..what we needed ... he got all done in 2 weeks. he understood the timeline cos the new owners of our flat was dropping hints of wanting to move in. he would tells us what was going to be done..updated us when the work is done..all within the 2 weeks timeline...all this despite him busy preparing for his son's wedding that time. Be patient... i rather quality work than rushed job.

    We are at towards the tail end of our renovations now... while waiting for the keys..you can actually list down the things you wanna do for your new place & the budget to work with. hang around here in RT for ideas, good deals...etc. we tried gettin quotes..very few responded..the moment they hear we've yet to get our keys. maybe business is brisk for these ppl..many BTO projects for the next few years...haha.
  11. ANDiLaLaLa

    Hi shir1307, me is everyday after work..will drop by new place to look see the progress..painting done..wires dangling all over (L-box)..yesterday evening..saw the hood, hob & oven in liao.
  14. ANDiLaLaLa
    bo pian lah... market is still on the downward.. lose a bit or wait longer & lose much more. that's why had to scale back on our renovation now.

    my second valuation, after the first one lapse was less 30k. The buyers of my 4 room flat must be smiling big!
  16. ANDiLaLaLa
    awesome!....white! we just need to be diligent to clean up after cooking..hahaha.. we just finished painting over the weekend.. then just now..i noticed..the walls kena scribbled & got drawing liao! contractor was there earlier..no 3D drawing...just...drawings! hahaha they'll start work on the L box & kitchen cabinets..this week. when your reno works will start?
  17. ANDiLaLaLa
    Hi shir1307, the 3D drawings looks kool. We were unable to find this ID you engaged when we were at Toa Payoh last week. Went to Blk 190 but saw the name as "Dezign" instead of Design..dunno same or affiliated or what. We are also going for white colour kitchen cabinets (bright & dun give the feeling of small) cos our kitchen looks more like a pantry or a kitchenette!

    Hi shir1307, have you started works with Design Profession yet? kinda curious abt them. their BTO package seems standard...but i tot a bit less costly than the ones i have so far.
  19. ANDiLaLaLa
    oh by the way, same floor plan! hahahaha. now we are busy packing all our stuffs...seems we are throwing away more !
  20. ANDiLaLaLa
    Hi shir1307, Congrats on getting your home keys. We'll be getting ours next week, 2nd appt. with the buyers of our current flat tomorrow. We are also on a small budget...basically will be window grilles & kitchen kabinets.(got flooring oredi) So far we only contacted 1 guy..recommended here ..if yours if good, perhaps can share with us.
  21. ANDiLaLaLa
    I know this is an old thread...but curiosity didn't kill this cat this time. Saw HoonHoe aka EagleDesign's advertisement in the newspapers today. Seems for all the negative comments...Mr Tan is still in the business. Oh well...at least is learnt something today...since i dun really have the time to while away for my renovations.
  22. ANDiLaLaLa
    I ditched Singtel many years ago cos i tot they were getting from bad to...err...more bad. hard to get thru..their CS was not taking my concerns seriously..can even hear them sniggering over the phone..when i told them i had connection problems..to cut a long story short..i tried Starhub..so far...no problems..4 years & counting...bottomline here is..quite simple..if the ISP can't even provide a decent service..why even bother.
  23. ANDiLaLaLa
    Hi TM, u got try Homely?...at Ubi? or Fairprice Xtra in the meantime.. tie a raffia string to a cow bell...very the atas one!
  24. ANDiLaLaLa
    Hi TM, take a trip to any hardware shop in the heartlands or any lighting shops..they should have those old conventional door bells. even the bargain shops should have them lah.
  25. ANDiLaLaLa
    more or less i know what we gonna do. it will be quite minimal.. we got our own paints..so that's why i was asking u..fix air-cons then paint or the other way round. the thought of coordinating the work among the various subcontractors can be quite daunting..i've done it before..oh well..
