Hi Vanessa, We can make friends and go jogging tgt...

Hi, Can someone pm me the contacts for the above electrical contractor quote. Looks more reasonable than the quote which i have. Thanks

New revised layout.. Dunnoe whether my designer got cursed me at the back anot cos i keep revising.. But now with the new changes,, i am very satisfied with the drawing.. haha But with so many revised drawings and changing of colours.. my designer still very patience with me... Hacking work have started already and next week they gonna start laying the tiles.. A different look now with the border and white cabinets.. Island only Island with Bar counter Think i am gonna scrap the built-in TV console cabinet and opt for a teak wood tv console.. Saw 1 nice 1 at paya rbi today.. Still thinking if it can fit in nicely.. Living Room Feature Wall - Design 1 Living Room Feature Wall - Design 2

Harriette, No choice i have to give up a bigger room space in exchange for the WIW.. But i envy those who are able to sacrifice a room to do a WIW.. But we need all out rooms for the kids.. haha Thanks Vanessa... We are in St 51.. Near Hougang Green.. Are we in the same neighbour?? Songz, Me too i love the Kitchen 2 floor tiles to the max.. so die die my designer have to match it into me theme of modern resort haha.. below is the revised layout of the kitchen floor tiles.. inspirations gotten when me and hubby went to eat Katong laksa.. We added in a border to it and the effect is so much different and nicer now..

Have been busy preparing the list of items to buy and shopping round for the furniture over the last weekend. Its rather fun but it did killed a lot of my brain cells trying to see if the item is able to fit in to the concept.. haha.. Sink - Blanco Metra 9 Reason why we bought this instead of the popular stainless steel sink. My husband have an eye for detail and can't tahan seeing scratches .. *although he is not the one doing the dishes haha* thus there goes my Kraus stainless steel sink.. The size of the Metra 9 is able to fit in a chinese wok thus would be easy for us to wash and manoeuvre the pan/wok within the sink.. Oven - Brandt FC1042xs Bought it at Harvey Norman today. The sales guy name Damien, Nice chap and explained the functions of the oven to us clearly. And also the differences among the other brand. In the end we decided on this after reviewing a few... We also bought our dining table, bed frame and recliner sofa at Lorenzo at their ware house sale last weekend. Happy shopping week...

Some revised drawing on my kitchen floor tiles and living room feature wall.. Kitchen Option 1 Kitchen Option 2 Living Room Feature Wall I love the spanish tiles in option 2 but its rather tough to get the correct colour for the cabinet to match and have a nice contrast for the kitchen... still thinking of what colour to chose.

Hi Songz, Ya in the end now we scrap the idea for the open kitchen.. its either go for the look and the whole house will smell or have a more practical kitchen since we cook daily.. Even the cooker hob we have selected the ugly looking Fujioh FS-890 which claims can capture 92" of the oil fumes.. Haha.. At first was quite turn off by the outlook but after reviewing the rest and saw the video on the technology used for the Fujioh... Functionality superseded the aesthetic aspect... Hi Harriette, On paper wise the room seems quite spacious with the wiw.. On site we tape the floor to see how it will turn out.. not too bad.. But for the bed wise we will not be able to reuse our teak wood bed frame and have to get something more streamline instead. But still able to fit a king with 2 sides table.. And the walking space in the WIW, we have about i think 800mm so we can still change comfortably within it... Between my master bedroom size is 3.8m x 4.5m

continued..... Kitchen Layout 2 - with the hacking of Wall between Kitchen and Living room Master bedroom with WIW Actually i love the concept of hacking the kitchen and living room wall so that the area can be further brighten and widen up.. When i do the dishes i can still watch my Tv shows haha.. But am oso worried about the cooking as we cook 3 meals a day... So in a dilemma.. Haha.. There will be some changes to the colour selection as it is too modern and not a hint of modern resort.. but layout will be rather fix like this... We have to blend in to our wooden country staircase otherwise the staircase will look so weird in the middle.. haha..

It have been a long discussion after receiving our first 3D draft.. which is erm... not to my satisfaction.. *probably my expectation too high but whose expectation is not high for their home haha.. * Anyway to share with you guys on our 1st draft.

Anyone care to share on the purchase procedure as am thinking of getting my lights and some stuffs from there as well. But am not sure hows the shipment arrangement like.

Guys, am so excited to start our reno soonest.. but haiz.. still waiting for the 3d drawing to be out and hopefully it will match my requriement of a modern resort home. Some photos of our pre-reno to share with you guys

After reviewing Rhiss and 3D Innovative... Finally we have confirmed to proceed with 3D Innovative for our reno work.. we know that there are many review n comment about 3D Innovative but we are willingly to give Sam a try.. I have been quite a troublesome customer hehe.. n have requested sam to change my layout n quote about 6 times. And every time he reacted very fast to my request.. I guess it's important to find a Id who is responsive and easily reachable. * keep my finger crossed that everything goes smoothly** As for Rhiss we decided to drop them as it took the person 2 wks to revert with a quote and that is only based on e 1st layout which I have yet to request to change anything.. time is important factor to us thus we can't keep waiting and slowed down the whole process just because the id is having a few projects on hand.. but nevertheless Rhiss workmanship is good as brother in law house was done by them.. did a pretty decent job.. Price wise on a slightly higher side.. hopefully sam can deliver as per promised which is completion within 6-8 wks..

HiHi, pardon me for the long wait as Finally managed to upload e photos into the gallery.. http://renotalk.com/forum/uploads/gallery_59144_289_17880.jpg

Hi Fellow Members, We have just gotten our keys to our Em in Hougang.. And thot of sharing our journey together with the rest of you guys... since i have oso gained many insights to a lot of stuffs in renotalk.. We are real excited about starting our reno soon and thus below are our shortlisted ID 1) Rhiss 2) Rest and Relax => we went to them as saw that they have did quote a number of EM as well.. Waiting for their quote.. which i think would be on a higher side. 3) 3D Innovations => convenient for me as just located below my office.. Rhiss took about 2 weeks to revert with quote and seem rather tied up with a few projects on hand but is recommend to us by brother in law as they did his home. 3D Innovations (Sam) response is very fast and prompt. Have been asking him to change the quote here and there.. As you know somethings we see things we like and want to put into our house reno but dunnoe how it will further extend our budget to.. haha.. But so far he is very accommodating. And stuck with the selection of this 3 id.. Any kind soul out there can give some comments on this 3??
