  1. Didn't realize that the blog automatically hides the ID names - the second one I am looking for feedback on is Veg***as .... the '*' in between the name are to mask such that it dosent automatically get taken off.
  2. Team - now that I am thru with the 1st appointment and have a confirmed date for the handover of keys, it is about time that I start gearing up for shaping this place up to our taste. For background, we are a family of 3 (4th on the way!) and have a helper. I am looking to keep this simple yet tasteful - couple of other quirks (I am very picky...) are that I like large/open spaces and have a preference for well-lit units. This unit (IMHO) is definitely great in terms of daylight (we visited it on a sunny day, on a very cloudy day as well as one evening before we took the OTP). Over the last week, I have now seen a couple of IDs to gather some thoughts and couple that have come across as legit are Rezt & Relax and ***. I have my doubts about Rezt & Relax based on some of the blog posts that I have seen - as for ***, the boss at the expo this weekend was really hands on and immediately took the floor plan to start laying out what could be done and also offered a high-level estimate. That said, he did seem keen to get that $1000 deposit to lock me in for the design (I was able to evade that). However, I am torn between getting an ID vs a contractor (70% weight towards contractor) and therefore, will get quotes from both sides to compare. A fair bit of hacking will be involved as well as re-tiling some parts of the house. Meanwhile, could any of you share any feedback that you have pertaining to the two IDs - Rezt & Relax and *** Interior Designs ? Will keep updating this blog as I go along. March is the month for planning and April-May-June is when the hammer meets the wall! Cheers!
  3. hi - can you share your contractor details pls ? sounds like he worked out really well for you...
  4. hi - could you pm me also your contractor details please ? Thanks a bunch!
  5. Hi Folks, I am new to blogging on renotalk but have been following quite a few of the blogs over the last couple of months. There's certainly a wealth of knowledge out here and I'd like to tap into it now and hopefully, contribute as well in the future. I just purchased a resale EA and now in the planning stage of renovation. I have read up and spoken too to a number of friends on ID vs contractor - personally, I am gravitating towards a contractor as I am pretty sure of how I want to design the place. I was wondering if other fellow bloggers have used the services of a contractor in the past and one that they would recommend. This is for a full hdb reno and will include hacking, tiling, toilets and carpentry. Will be great if you could share any pointers!
