Hi, Anyone knows how good is the Fisher & Paykel's 90cm Wall Canopy Rangehood & 70cm 3 burner Gas hob? What if compare with Bosch basic model 90cm Chimney Hood DWB09E750 & 3 burner Gas hob PBD7331SG? Chaos,

Here are the tiles I selected: More on bright color, as 3 Room's toilets are rather small, bright color make the room looks bigger... Kitchen Wall & Floor Mater Toilet Wall & Floor Common Toliet Wall & Floor Chaos,

Finally, Reno starts.... Day 1 Hacking My contractor super efficient...hoho!

Think you are right! thanks. Gonna talk to my ID again on this... Casement or Sliding? Silver or White? Which type of grills? Chaos.

Ya lol. Online purchase is risky, for example: color in picture may not exactly the same when you receive it, etc. Got to do lots lots research on what you planned to buy. On Taobao, many sellers selling the same look of lighting, but quality not exactly the same. It's safer to choose: 1/ Top seller with consumer guarantee, 2/ Top seller with good comments from most of buyers 3/ Better to choose products with detail descriptions 4/ Read very carefully about the dimension, material, accessories, etc Even after all the researches, you still not feel safe until the goods reach you with what you want... but somehow you will still love Taobao...

Emptysoulz, you're right. Cleaning will be a headache... However it has slipped off my mind when I saw beautiful crystal lights. just can't resist it!

Yep, lights are really expensive in sg. Plan to buy all the lights from TaoBao - less than 400RMB each. Much cheaper.

Thanks, Sforshor. Your comments are all very pertinent! Share with you my master bedroom 3D as well: Master Bedroom Master Toilet Chaos,

Thanks much, Sforshor. Your commend really to the point. I saw your 3D for living room and kitchen. Personally I like your house design very very very very much. Think your floor plan similar as mine. Mine design was initially very look like yours, except I'll hack the wall between kitchen and living room. My initial quote was around $42K. I tried my very best to keep in budget, but still exceeded by $2K after several round of scrubbing. 1/ I've cut down the whole TV console & feature wall design (by using off-the-shelf type TV console) 2/ Shorten kitchen & kitchen cabinet by only doing bottom cabinet (I do cook, but may not spend so much time in kitchen in fact, and upper cabinets blocks the natural light, defeat the purpose of open concept kitchen, I like the home to be bright naturally) 3/ Only change doors, not change windows and grills (think windows can do it later easily, if really don't like) 4/ Using laminating floor in bedrooms. Anyone got good ideas? Chaos,

My ID just came back with some 3D drawings, base on what I wanted - "simple, comfort, modern". Living Room: 1/ Hack the wall between living room & kitchen, open up the space for dining. 2/ Add a glass panel to separated the kitchen, as well as to have better view from main entrance. Kitchen: 1/ Shorten the kitchen space as the original kitchen including dining space, where I want to relocate it to between living room & kitchen. Chaos,

Still learning how to post the pic... ">http://>

2 weeks later, I'm going to HDB to collect key for my resale 3NG. Here is my floor plan: http://www.renotalk.com/forum/gallery/image/3569-floorplan/ My budget is around $30K. The original condition of the house is really original and old (30+yrs), have to redo everything.

My ID was recommend by a friend. He did my friend's house last year, nicely done! Before make the decision, I was hesitated if to use ID or Contractor for a while, as budget concern , contractor is relatively cheaper. but because I don't know much about the renovation work, if use direct contractor may have difficulty in coordination and may end up cause more in unnecessary rectification. As for price wise, I compared the quotation from 3-4 ID firms, the prices are more or less the same except one firm (N*D) , just some IDs added est.electricity and some not. so it is easier for me to decide to use "D*G*" base on good experience of my friend. Look forward to my new home!

Hi guys, i'm new to this forum, new to renovation. I initially wanted to buy a "ready-to-move-in" type for my 1st home, as really knows nothing about renovation. The only memory of renovation is when i was in school, helping my father repaint our old house many many years ago. But it is really difficult to find a house have everything you like, hence after several viewing - end up I bought a 30yrs old house with a good price, and have to do renovation inside out. I have to worry about how to do RENOVATION now!
