Hi Doris & JohnB, thanks! Hopefully, everything goes fine too! Selection of ID/Contractor Being reno noobie, we didn't really know which renovator to look for. Thanks to Renotalk and all the contribtutions from fellow bloggers, we came down with a list of ID/contractors with good reviews and quickly contacted them for a meetup. Unfortunately, now is a reno peak season, some ID and contractors we contacted had to turn down our request as their work schedule is currently full. In total, we met up with 6 ID & contractors. Generally, we are quite okay with everyone.Their quotations were also very close, with some being cheaper in certain areas, the others in others. So quite tough to make a comparision. In the end, we chose Mr J & Mr E based on the following: Their core business is in carpentry works. They also took us to take a look at some of their completed and ongoing projects. We are quite pleased with their cabinets and stuffgood reviews in Renotalk. Also, we spoke to the owners of the open house. One owner feedback he actually don't want to open his house for visits, but because Mr J is so good and help them a lot, he agreed to open his house for visit. Basically, he left Mr J to do up his house and only visit during weekends. This feedback was critical to us as we are also bz during weekdays and only have time during weekends to monitor reno progress. So having a responsibe contractor who will take ownership is key to us.Hopefully, we will have a smooth reno journey with Mr J and Mr E!

Our ideas and wish list We didn't wanted to follow any specific theme. Basically, we wanted to keep the reno simple simple, put together all the things we like and hopefully they will work out together. Some of our initial ideas and must-have items in our house: (1) brick wall like this. Love the tone and colour of the bricks (2) "peranakan" or vintage looking tiles as backsplash like this (3) wood grain looking tiles. our fav was parquet but drop the idea as it could difficult to maintain (4) black metal framed up look like this either at kitchen or study room (5) an open concept wardrobe (6) a shoe cabinet

Start of the journey... Hi everyone! We wanted to start this simple blog to pen down our ideas, thoughts and some of the memorable incidents throughout our reno journey. As both of us are quite reserved and man and woman of few words, there might be more photos here instead of words. So, do bear with us:) Our future home is a 5 room flat at Yishun Greenwalk. We are one of the "late bloomers" since most residents have moved in already now. We actually collected our keys in late Jul. But we were going through a rough patch, my dog passed away during that period. So we really do not have the mood to source for ID, looking at reno ideas etc. Here's some photos of our layout plan and pre-reno shots of our home to end my first post:
