I know myself being a clean freak, I can have a ‘showroom’ open concept kitchen. We initially proposed to have a full height storage cabinet on the left side (where the oven is sitting). But I need more space for working top considering I cook everyday. So we scrapped that idea off. Cement screed look-alike tiles for kitchen and service yard

Master bedroom: 10feet full sliding door wardrobe

13th April after sales service There was one time I realised my boy’s wardrobe laminate had this ‘large air pocket’ or was it due to expansion... So i pic watsapp the contractor. He asked, “you have anything to drill or not? Get all your things ready, then I come do everything.” Requested to touch up and put in silicone at vinyl end. Afraid it might pop up years later. Got kids, sure put up their photos! Typical mum

Toilet tiles: I’m a clean freak! We purposely chose darker colours tiles for toilets and kitchen floor, so we could fill in grey or black grout in between these tiles. I had enough of scrubbing for 12years (white grout which had turned black) at our old house. Same reason why we chose vinyl flooring for whole house PS: I’m not selling that Tub & Tile cleaner. Great for asthmatic people like me who can’t take in slight chemical smell

This was the original living room where we swapped it into study room as the area is smaller.

GST or no GST?
Hanna replied to Robin Hoot's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - HDB Resale Renovation & Interior Design
I will go for without gst with hdb license contractor/ ID. No gst means company is smaller, not overwhelm with too many clients. Probably job can be complete earlier. ..that’s my take. And that’s what i just did. -
That dining chair - my first order from Fortytwo. Bought two chairs to see if its comfortable and sturdy. I’ll be getting 4 more of these soon

Not much reno was done for living room. Trying to keep it simple Finding time to get new furnitures in. Both stool and sofa are from previous house. Bought the sofa cover online, sofa will go back into my son’s room (that’s his originally.. for gaming) when I’ve settle down for a new sofa.

Currently, the living room is in a mess. Still need alot of unpacking to be done. Stuff we brought over We started packing slowly way back in Dec. My hubby doesn’t like the idea doing it last minute.., dump everything in the boxes. He kept stressing out, ”MUST pack NICELY.” ”Group into one box.” ”Label NICELY.” ”MUST wrap ourselves NICELY.” Ok lor..

Installation of 10ft tinted mirror at dining area. Pics taken last week:
-
Blinds were installed last Tuesday. Living and study room: Master bedroom: Common rooms: Total cost: $1188!! Next cheapest quote I received was $1800 (excluding installation). Same material used, only that this seller do not own a shop. So save up on rental fee i suppose.. From sample appointment all the way to installation day, everything went well. Seller was punctual and easy to deal with.

22nd march: finally my house is ready! Except for mirrors/ frame doors which will arrive on monday. With that said, we will be moving in our furnitures earlier on sunday Will post again full pics of renovation once doors and mirrors are up

21st march: not much work was done today..

20th march: Colour of vinyl is okay..., but its still not grey enough Fans and kitchen light. Over at Tampoi cashier, I’ve already paid for track lights but suddenly this ‘sparkly’ light caught my eyes. So I decided to buy this instead. It comes with 3colours light. Kitchen downlights Will install after my hood is up. Kitchen black chimney hood: Storage heater: Fans (living and study): living room fan colour is actually light grey. If you notice, the fans wiring are sealed behind the ceiling. It’s not approved by hdb standard but I’ll pull my hair if the contractor decline. Die die must follow my instruction. kitchen no trunking too I will not have a built in tv console. I hate the idea of living with the same thing for 5, 10years later. Just box up the wiring will do (top right pic). ...and so I’m left with about 5working days to move in.

This was taken on 17th march: Didn’t get to take more pics, hp was out of battery. Yesterday, contractor update that he spent one whole day cleaning the current tiles before he can overlay the vinyl. Overlay of vinyl should take place today. I prefer grey vinyl so Hubby chose this colour. He said this is grey where else I don’t see any grey. It looks brown to me. Contractor cleaned the oily windows too and main door, constructed a beam for my study room sliding door. Fans installed. The tinted full height mirror will only arrive in a week time As of now, I should say the reno is 70% complete.

14th march: 16th march: kitchen - laminate is actually lighter in colour. See sample below. Working top, black quartz Clear tempered fix and swing door at service yard dining area: will place 10ft full height tinted mirror
-
13th march: Think I will ask to add one more railing for each common rooms wardrobe Kitchen (the best lighting I could get): I will be doing just bottom kitchen cabinet with L-box downlights. Keeping it simple and clean look. *** Remember this - ALWAYS construct cement sink support. They have cleared all the rubbish to start on false ceiling/ L-box. Was informed ceiling works will take about 2days to complete. I believe the reno can be completed in a month. So far so good.. Tomorrow I will start choosing toilet doors (SK), study room sliding door and 10feet full height mirror (dining area).
