MasterRm + Bedroom 2 = New Master Rm view from Master Bathrm Door: view from Master Rm door: new door frame for BR3 (original height of door reduced to hide aircon duct) measurement has yet to be made. hmm.. maybe i'll try chamsiong with him.. pay a percentage, but nt full 40%...

ya.. tot so too..i told him i'll pay after cny. then he says if tat's the case the project will delay by a few days cos carpentry will only start 2.5 wks after cny (tat includes my kitchen as well).. lolx.. u & ur hubby's so hiong.. lolx! think mi & my hubby too soft le.. must bai4 ni3 men2 wei2 shi1.. lolx~! went back eurostar again (cos my mum wanna change some lights at hm before cny). kind of worried now if the living rm light (80 diameter) is too big for my small 3.1x4.8m living area.. kitchen cabinet considered carpentry? he says if payment is made next tues, he'll start on kitchen cabinet before cny, but it'll oni be ready after cny.. normally ppl will put it in the kitchen cabinet below the hob or in the middle of a full height cabinet. the latter is more recommended as u wont have to stood down to use the oven. in future, when ur wife gets pregnant, it's easier for her to use the oven at eye-level. (<-i designed a part of my kitchen to b full height cabinet for this reason. Must think of future mah.. hehe. ) juz my 2cents worth.

hey, saw in other threads u r the WMF club president!! lolx!! can i join ur club too?? lolx! i bought my WMF (philadelphia) cutleries, WMF red & white wine glasses, champagne glasses, short & tall glasses, as well as a WMF knife set (messer-set) recently at robinson sale.

love ur layout, big & so much rm for creativity..

ur completed kitchen looks .

my id wants me to pay the next 40% next tues le... isnt it a li' too fast? i've juz paid 45% when hacking starts.. & since my carpentry can only commence after cny, i reali c no hurry.. wat u guys think?

wow.. BIG plc u've got there! my hse seems so mini compared to urs..

hey bro, im not "bro".. lolx! thanx for the compliments. i also dunno wat kind of concept my hse is.. hmm.. tot it was modern-contemporary.. more of modern i guess.. hehe. my living/dinning rm's carpentry is glossy black with black mirrors.. wallpaper'll be gold-tone-base (plain gold with a little texture as nt to "overkill" my small living area).. sofa's glossy brown.. curtains black/dark grey (still dunno wat kind of colour & material.. organza or velvet?) btw, here's a pic of my sofa.. will be giving the cushions black-furry-clothings. hehe.

there u go... Floor in bomb shelter. the colour is a bit off (lousy hp ).. hehe. this is actuali 60x60 pure white homogenous tiles.. the cement filling is nt in yet. my hubby & i tot the workmanship was quite gd, even without the cement filling. the common bath's wall taken sometime last week (without cement filling)... this photo is juz taken. sorry for the lousy resolution. will take pics using a better camera (not my hp cam) in future. hehe. they r currently still doing the floor (wall tiles' gaps are filled).. the mosaic tiles on the opposite side of the wall is up as well.. but i forgot to take a pic of it! my kitchen is using the same wall & floor tile as my common bath.. do u think the colours r a little too contrasting?... reali hope the colour goes well with my white kitchen. colour of my common bath & kitchen floor tiles: copper here's the partially done mosaic panel in my master bathrm. the black mosaic panel is supposed to have a glimmering effect. but i guess my hp camera sXXkx.. lolx.. will definitely take a pic again when whole panel is done. the mosaic tiles.. with a plastic sheet over it..

i love them a lot too.. hehe. in fact, my id was quite against my living room's lights at 1st, cos he says they may be too loud for his design.. but i din care much less... i've yet to get the ariston appliances in the kitchen. but they're more or less cfm. wondering if i shd get the oven now though.. heard there's always some "mid-yr sale" thingy gg on during apr/may for mayer where prices r slashed.. lolx~! tat's a gd one.. handed the keys over to my id on 26 dec & signed the permit application, but hacking only started 4 jan (takes 10 days to get permit?? as so claimed by id.). last sat when i went over, the guys were doing the kitchen wall tiles. bombshelter's floor & common bath's walls were already done. reali wonder how's the works getting on.. prob will drop by this noon. my carpentry works for the entire hse will only commence after cny. sad..

hmm... u do full time or part time fortune telling? thank u.. spent almost 4k on them.. hehe. fell in love with my living & dinning lights when i saw them at lightology 4 mths ago.. but i bought them from eurostar in the end.

thank u~! will b updating the renovation works in future. =)

hihi, Our Reno Blog: http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?au...blogid=399& Venue: Rivervale Drive Type: HDB 5Rm (Resale) Size: 110 sqm Age of flat: 7 yrs as of 1 Jan 2008 Value of hm before Reno: $292,000 HDB grant: Not eligible No of Occupants: Just 2 of Us Concept: Mix of Modern & Contempory (We go with watever we r comfortable with ) Renovation ID: The Interior Place Main Designer In-charged: Mr Wayne Ng (Director) Below is our Original Floor Plan:

my sa investments made min 15% returns/yr last 3 yrs with aia. now sa's interest is still nt too bad at 4% (+1% for 1st 40k in SA & Medisave), but come 2010, everything will b tagged to 10yrs SG Bonds. dunno how things'll b then. by then, due to the "tie-down", it may be too late to invest. try to find out more from ur financial advisors/insurance agents. they shd b able to advise u further.

i went around many many shops along balestier. like u, i personally think the sales people at lumiere were quite arrogant. i also went to lightology. helpful & gd service, but price wasn't very attractive. Eurostar has exactly the same lightings as lumiere & lightology. i would recommend paul for his gd discount & great advises, or danny () for his patience & advises. however, i do agree tat sometimes it's the salesperson whom u liase with tat makes the impression. it's always gd to shop ard & compare.

i wanna change 1 door as well. my id told me he'll charge me watever quote i can find. lolx~ does ur price include the frame & knob? anyone knows if alterations of door size will increase the door price? thanx in advance.

my reno juz started. till now, im still not sure if it's in one piece. i hope it is though... It looks pretty, being glossy pure white. , & i was told it's not porous and is harder than granite, so i guess it wun b so easily scratched. i keep my fingers crossed.

the hse is v badly maintained-super dirty & ugly... juz got the keys. i'll rather get things over & done with asap. thanx for suggesting though. hehe. !! my contract says 10% upon confirmation of reno works, 40% upon commencement of reno works, 40% upon measurement of carpentry, 10% upon completion. sigh.. nvr read these fine prints b4 committing.. my id agreed to reduce it to $25k instead. though nt too much of a diff, but better than nothing. hehe. thanx for all ur advises. =)

i've chosen a crystallized glass panel top (white) for my kitchen top- it's call nero paris if im nt wrong. fell in love with the colour & shine. it's man-made & non-porous. my ID (the interior place) quoted me $180+pf run for it. now reno juz started. will update in time to come if this kind of top is gd. !!

hi all. i need some advises. after reading some threads in forum abt contractors running away & job nt done after payment, im quite worried. my reno works cost ard $60k (wet works + carpentry). my id told me to give them 50% of contract amount - deposit 2nd day we start work (which is next tues). the thing is, as cny is approaching, all carpentry work will only commence end feb 07, as he claims workers will only start work 2 wks after cny. is it safe for me to give him so much now? anyone can advise wat the norm is? thank u in advance.
