In the meantime.. some mood board for our bedroom As you can tell, I'm a big fan of all things bright and airy.. But my hubs is more into scandi-industrial.. So in order to compromise, we are going to change our theme to Scandi- industrial (for kitchen & living area) and scandi designs for all bedrooms!

Just received our timeline from Mr E. Glad to see that we are able to start our tiling by this Thursday! ^_^v So within this week, we have settled quite a few items for our house. Aircon Installation (Meet up with the installer and confirm our piping and layout)Purchase our Venetian blinds for LV + 3 bedrooms (from Fabulous Curtain)Purchase Blanco kitchen sink from Hoe KeePurchase MBD toilet sink from Hoe KeePurchase PE Veneer doors for 3 bedroomsNext item off my list.. Kitchen hood and hob!

Hi there, Mr J&E are contractors.. however they do provide 3D drawings. (a plus point)

As the Lee Family is a non pantang family so we don't have any date line to move in but however I still gave Mr E a date that we wish to move it. So looking at our schedule, we should be able to start renovation works by 1st week of May!! YEAH ^_^v We start off with choosing the laminates for our carpentry works.. Within 3 - 4 days, we have decided on the laminates.. it's a tough choice cause it's so difficult to visualize.. I hope Mr E can send me the 3D drawings so that I can double confirm our choices Besides laminates, we have selected our tiles too! Mr E said that they might be able to start the tile process early since I've selected the tiles!! So yay!! Gonna say good bye to these raw flooring..

After almost a month of waiting, decision making and reviewing of quotations.. we have decided to award the contract to Mr J & Mr E as their quote fits our budget plus Mr E is quite responsive. So these are the stuffs that we will getting Mr J & E to do: Living Room Brick wall featureFull height (suspended) shoe rackTracks lights on the sofa & feature wall sideFlooring for whole house with skirtingKitchen Breakfast counterBottom cabinets on both side of the wallKompacplus on all the kitchen carpentry topSeal up the bomb shelter boxBedroom 1 & 2 These 2 rooms will be left empty as 1 will be used as a study room and 2 will be my daughter's bedroomAnd we like to have the option to shift the furnitures aroundMaster bedroom Full height wardrobe with sliding room Install vanity top with mirror in master bedroom toilet Vanity Top with kompacplusShower kerb with 1 single panel shower glass

While we are waiting for the rest of the quotations to come in... Mood board that I gathered! All picture source from Pinterest.

Prior to our key collections, Hub & I have decided on a theme... which is the ever popular, "Scandinavian" So right now we are on the hunt for Contractors / Interior Designers. We've shortlisted a few of contractors and IDs to compare quotes and gather some information and design ideas. Mr K This contractor requires no introduction cause he is pretty well known in this forums. He came over to my place to take measurements and stuffs. Seems like a man of few words, didn't talk much and just wrote down whatever that I require. Didn't comment whether its do-able or not.. Everything just say, okay... okay.. So we shall wait for his quotation though I didn't have any high hopes cause many has comment that he fees are quite high. Received Mr K's quote. Sadly I feel that his quotation was kinda of sloppy and on the high side. Sloppy because he listed a few items which I never mention of having so I feel that he isn't very keen on our business. Mr J & E Got their contact from one of our fellow reno-talk member.. Love her house design. Met up with this duo, they were very detailed. Measure everything and even sketch up my kitchen carpentry on the spot!! Gave me recommendation / suggestions on my ideas and what is do-able and what is not. However I get to know that they are very busy and has at least 18 projects on head. Luckily we are not in the hurry to move it so we can afford to wait though. Gotta wait for their quotation and see what are the charges like. Received their quotes and was very responsive. After the 1st draft, I had some changes here and there and get Mr E to send me a revised one. Happy that 2nd draft fits our budget! I'm already 60% side of hiring them to reno our flat but hubs want to be fair to those IDs. So we are waiting for their quotes to come it. ButterpaperstudioGot to know this husband and wife team while I was browsing her blog. Love their works and I decided to meet up with them! Appointment is tomorrow so I shall update again. Meet up with this husband and wife team! Very detailed and gave me some suggestion which I never thought of. Received their drawings within 1 week. Informed them of my budget ($25K) however they said that it will be tight. Three d conceptwerkeContact this studio and was replied that one of the ID will get in contact with me... Its been months and no news from them so.. no need to consider. Some random contractor that was loittering around our blk (in hopes of getting some business)​Like some new flat owers who might experience this. There are a few contractors standing at the void deck area, waiting for couples / families to walk pass and check if you all has started renovation. So while we are waiting for the lift at our blk, this uncle came up to us and wanna chio business. As I was unprepared for this hence I just roughly tell him what we need to do and stuffs. His quotation consist of abt 75% of what we want to do cause the rest I forgotten to tell him. Quote come up to 19k however I decided to strike him off when I told him tat I wanna use kompacplus for my kitchen top and he just say, won't last. Strongly recommend me to use other materials. Not receptive of my ideas. Will update again when I have all the quotes to compare!

Hello there, Like many other new house owners, I've been a silent reader of this T-blog ever since hub & I ballot a BTO flat 3 years ago... And recently we have received our keys from HDB! So there's the typical floor plan for a standard BTO 4rm flat @ Sengkang Westway. As expected, the house is really small... The Living Room Area Walkway Kitchen
