    They are actually home-based interior designer with no website. You will not be able to find them on the web.

    The total renovation cost is about 40k and I think it will be better if you find them for a quote. U can contact them at 9690 7887.

    Hi there, where did u find the bi folding half lourved doors? I searched for so long for them until I eventually gave up and gotten the half lourved PD door :(

    Also, may I know how did u "whiten" the finishing of ur furniture? Did u used the ikea white glazing paint?

    Thanks js

    Hi,

    I got it from my ID. I just googled for the photo and show my ID and he sourced the door for me.

    For the whiten the finishing, it depends on the laminates. I used normal white paint to paint on it and wiped off to give this kind of effect. (It's an try and error which we found it pretty nice.)

    Wish all an advanced CNY!

    Finally, the last part where the furniture are coming!

    TV Console from Red Apple Furniture

    IMG-20141129-WA0062.jpg

    In my previous post, I have shared that do not buy from Red Apple. This is because the samples of the laminates they showed us is different from the one they delivered. I didn't have a chance to take the photo of the sample laminate.

    As we have purchased furniture from 2 different furniture shops, we try to blend the colours together. After seeing the sample laminate (old and discoloured), we though that it can fit into our furnishing well. They have informed us that the colour may deviate about 10% from the sample laminate and will be lighter as compared to the sample laminate. However, to our surprise, it came to us darker. We called them and even went to their showroom again and brought one piece they delivered (small), the colour difference to us is more than the 10% they promised. They even said after using for a year, the colour will change to the sample laminate. We know it is a losing case and were very disappointed. The divider and the tv console now does not fit into our furnishing. After learning from the incident, in the future, we are only going to buy from a single furniture shop :( .

    Since it does not fit into our furnishing for the divider and the tv console, we decided to modify abit. We decided to give some white coating to blend into our furnishing...

    Hi butterscotch,

    When you found the tiles were somewhat bent, and you decided to hack them all away, was it done by your id or hdb? Did they redo the cement screeding too? Foc? Or what was the damage? Many thanks!

    Everything was done by my ID. Hacking plus, cement screed and lying of tiles.

    Bedroom Doors are up too!

    For their laminates sample, they are pretty old and worn off. The colours are not exactly the same as the sample. Will explain more later.

    Morning everyone!

    During the installation of the air-con piping, we met the carpenter. We saw him with pen and papers and he started drawing the layout. He is meticulous as he take note of very fine details like the position of the power point etc :paint: .

    For the next entire week, the electrician and painter came and do the fix-up of the electrical points and the false ceiling. When we visit our house again on the following weekend, we saw this !

    Excited to see the outcome of our cabinets !!

    Before the start of the carpentry works, these are the 3D designs !!!

    IMG-20141129-WA0019.jpg

    Nic proposed to us to do something out of the norm as the full brick wall is very common. He proposed to do unregular half brick wall with painted white wood in the middle. Cant really see from the 3D drawing... but this is the preview of our unfinished wall...

    Our Kitchen 3D Layout !

    After the air con fixture, we will need to choose the laminates and paint colour. They pass us 3 brochures to choose the wall paint colours and the cabinet’s laminates. He asked us to choose and we will meet up in a week time to discuss gain. We were overwhelmed by the selection of the laminates. As we are going for Scandi style, we have decided on light wood colour and white laminates. The following is what we have chosen:

    He informed us that the 3D layout will be ready in approximately a week time while they proceed to do the painting of the walls...

    These are the colours in which we have chosen for our walls:

    Living Room & Passageway - White

    MBR and Bedroom 2 - Whisper Grey & Creamy White

    Bedroom 3 - Cucumber & Apple White

    Service Yard - Bluebell White

    After the floor tiling has been completed, they have asked us to arrange for 1st appointment for the air con fixture.

    During the fixture, to our horror, the air con piping has to run across our MBR toilet (The wall which I did the tiling at one side of the wall.) We tried to ask if there are any other alternatives but there aren’t. The air con guys told me that they have encountered this before in other BTO flats and there aren’t much choices to run the piping. We quickly called for help. As he was nearby, he came over to check out the issue.

    After discussion and checking other units how they fixed up the air con, Nic told us that it has to run through the MBR toilet and he will boxed up the air con piping in MBR toilet and piping above MBR door frame.

    This are the photos after the air-con fixture.

    It took about 6 hours for the air con guys to fix up the piping :good: ...
