A draft layout of renovation works to be done. As the previous owner had quite a bit of built in capentry so spent quite a bit on hacking them away to create more open space. For the rooms, I'm hacking down wall combining MBR and BR2. BR3 will be reserved as a spare room for when parents come stay over. As the bomb shelter door is visible upon entering the house, have asked Foo creatively how to "cover" it. This is one wall which I'm excited what will be the final outcome. Sorry if picture is small..am still figuring out how to post pictures here.

Thanks for the welcome Troublemaker! Yes the layout is different from usual 4-room and one of the reasons why I like it. Unfortunately I can't do a open concept kitchen as I can't hack the bomb shelter wall. In a way it help to save some $ since hacking is expensive

Hi Everyone, I chanced upon Renotalk when I was scouting to buy a flat and since then have been faithfully following the forum. I wasn't in a rush to move in and decided to take my time in looking for a ID/Contractor. Met up with the legendery Mr K and Alan and also contacted a few new start-up ID firms. Being a single female owner, it can be an overwhelming exercise. I was lucky to meet up with my current ID, Foo from Custombox, an earnest young man who is open to ideas and importantly patient with first-time home owners like me. So far the process has been smooth and I'm looking forward to the end result. I had a penchant for mid-century modern design with a bit of scandinavian influence. I love things with a bit of history but didn't want my home to look like a museum:) Right now, design plans are still fluid but with a few key ideas set. Will try to post up floorplan next.
