    Hi ccchua22,

    how time flies!

    it's almost a year since we completed reno & moved in to our new home.

    this is one of those rare occasions i pop in here...actually..i thinking of installing blinds for the kitchen service balcony.

    so come here look see look see lor. :notti:

    I still do get pm's from ppl asking for Alvin's contact. (which I gladly give out) :help:

    I have to point out again that we did not engage him as the timing was not right (he was very busy & we had a 2 week deadline to move out from the previous house) :dunno:

    We already more or less have a clear idea of what we needed for our new home, so we paid a visit to reno firm in woodlands & discussed with the same guy who did our aunt's place.

    Told him our budget of 10k & timeline of 2 weeks.

    thank goodness he was able to hit both marks. :rolleyes: :lol:

    So what started out as a big anxiety trip for us & i'm sure most of the people here, ends well.

    YaaYYY!! :good: :good: :good:

    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!

    Wow! Ur reno is really fast! I am still waiting for the carpenter to come install all the carpentry works. Think my handover will only be done in another 2 weeks.. :(

    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.

    Hi ccchua22,

    the day we got our keys.. we straight away went in to our new place to check for defects.

    all ok..except for the windows locking mechanism..took pictures...will let them know later..can't lock properly.

    we really dun have the luxury of time..the buyers of our flat quite eager to move in..so we have to double time to get things done.

     

    Hi ANDILALALA,

    7 month just pass so all the reno will start at the same time. He confirm pack with a busy schedule. Let him see yr floorplan first then he will contact you once he is free.

    The kitchen confirm small one not like our old flat so wide n big. The place confirm dusty one, you dun paint first. Check all yr defect first n let the contractor completed then you can do yr own work. Check all the pipe with those corners with cover, I got 1 without cover. Popo come out after my reno, fainted!!!. Ask the hdb contractor to do again. They also shock to see that.

    Hey ANDi, thanks! My ID is located at blk 177... :) Dont think affiliated eh. haha.

    Yes, I also chose white color laminate for the top as dont want to have too many confusing laminates in the kitchen. :D My worktop i am also going for white (unlike in the 3d drawing).

    awesome!....white! :good:

    we just need to be diligent to clean up after cooking..hahaha.. :sport-smiley-003:

    we just finished painting over the weekend..

    then just now..i noticed..the walls kena scribbled & got drawing liao! :wacko:

    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?

    Hi shir1307,

    the 3D drawings looks kool. :good:

    We were unable to find this ID you engaged when we were at Toa Payoh last week. :unsure:

    Went to Blk 190 but saw the name as "Dezign" instead of Design..dunno same or affiliated or what. :dunno:

    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! :lol:

    okok.once you collected yr key let alvin aw know.

    If you got the floor map, you can give alvin see first n he will design for you firsr

    so the reno can start when you draw yr key

    Hi ccchua22,

    just spoke to Alvin earlier, he seems to be quite busy...can't really find time to meet up with me for a quick discussion.. :dunno:

    anyway...have sent him my floor plan & our wishlist liao.

    just back from our new place...fwahh...really dusty...the kitchen...really small! :wacko:

    if he doesn't get back to me soon..i'll carry on to have my new place painted... :paint:
