thanks steve, 2.6k was quoted at the 1st day PC show on last day, it was 2.4k with voucher $400 + free gift i can say it's a good deal at this point in time.. but next IT show , the price surely will be dropped again haha:notti:

I went down today, and manage to take some pics. Kitchen Black glass installed, and solid top up! now makes the color looks better Feature wall black glass door panel installed, pending black glass for LCD TV my comments on the carpentry quality : so so... still require many touch-up.. and some misunderstanding.... console for CPU, 'no way out' ! which way the cables will go thru and no ventilation ??? console top, should be dark tinted mirror, but fabricate as black laminate i will still request for more hole to be created on the feature wall &console. one more... crooked tempered glass door! dunno how they will fix it... ya hor.. where the money goes to har ??? what about yours? pm me also can happy renovating! yesterday, managed to get my lcd tv at PC Show was trying to wait until last hour, but the price was never go down, and actually it's already special price at the 4th day PC show exibition... so here's the one i got.. Samsung LA40A550...

thanks cherry, personally, i like black and white. our reno items are not many , flooring never touched, except toilet and kitchen. doors never changed no wardrobe fabrication, etc bcos to us, as long as we can still use, and 'not so' out of date, why not we still use it but.. my reno cost is 22k it's a BIG money to me do you have reno t-blog ?

carpentry up! (taken by handphone camera, sorry if the pics a bit lousy kitchen cabinet (top) (bottom) (drawer) kinda weird to see the black laminate of kitchen cabinet, the line pattern caused laminate joint looks so obvious. anyway, let see the final result after cleaning. feature wall & console (top) love the effect of laminate love the feature wall and console.. pending glass. Steven is waiting for my tv wall mount bracket, then he can measure the hole. haven't get my lcd tv... still eyeing for PC Show !! will go tomorrow, and execute the plan

more pics basin and toilet bowl installed Common toilet but oops... problem... think happened during the hacking the plumber had already solve the problem... MBR

picture .. picture .. picture ... After painting passageway & bedroom doors, choose 'clamshell' color for most of living room walls including passageway & ceiling. the white painted HDB original doors look nice though save money, was thinking to change it pink bedroom from outside pink bedroom hehe.. this room will be for my little Megan. other common bedroom decided to use white color, to neutralise the green wardrobe.. mbr headboard side wall Decided to choose 'Capucino' color only the bed headboard side wall, the rest remain as white. false ceiling & ceiling color high ceiling color as 'clamshell' color, as part of living room dominant color

jessie, have u visited star furniture for your furniture hunting? good luck for the hunting yeah, i myself had to go around all furniture shop.. to find the design i like, and of course fit to our budget. went alone, then go home ask for wife approval haha.. (bcos she was pregnant) thanks BunBun

thanks skywolf.. yes, she is , good thing's she doesn't look like me .. her mum instead thanks applefreak i am done doing sayang to her... the time back to reno stuff arghh.. too many things coming in the same time but the show must go on...

hi all.. sorry not to post anything recently.. i was been very very busy... not with renovation... but busy with this ..... Megan, my little miracle has just arrived, my wife gave birth on June,2 2008. Will take sometimes to concentrate again to renovation.. but not now.. I want to play play with my little sweet heart first

agree with BunBun, number 4 is nice.. minimalist, and meaningful

prettibride, do you mind to pm me how much they quote you for this new model? mine had delivered, but not yet installed, thinking of changing it if possible thanks! all the best for your renovation!

Hi hi.. archiving some unposted items Here are some items that we've already bought [Fridge] Samsung RS20NRSV from Gain City [Washing Machine] Samsung WA95UP from Gain City Cuizino 8.3vcgb from Poh Joo Ciuzino chimney hood 598 DiningTable from StarFurn Bedrooms King size matress - Simmons BeautyRest Concerto - Non Flip - from Robinson BedFrame from StarFurn Lights shopping at Chelsea Lighting Dining light 2 Halogen for feature wall 2 more halogen, dunno for what .. just love it Passageway light 7 PLC downlights and some flourecent lights for cove lights

if they know your ID, then of course they will give you their best price. i got hob and hood from them, as well as kitchen sink, basins, toilet bowl, and some taps. for taps, i find sim siang choon has more choices, the price is cheaper. you can compare anyway.

I was looking for leather sofa as well at Univonna, last week at IFC sungei kadut. I can say they have good quality of product... price wise also not to high. Will visit the one in Furniture mall, hopefully they have the design I like...

hi Jessie, my unit is 4 rooms. so not comparable as yours which is 5 rooms. sold at 400k is a very good price isn't it

Kitchen Version 1 Didn't manage to scan.. cabinet without handles. Version 2 added handles, but finally we decide not using handles Problem .. problem .. problem..... Hood position need to be changed because of piping position, as I will be using chimney.... 3D Piping problem The hood will be moved a bit left..... and there will be only small part of cabinet at the left side. Then for me, it's a major impact... other panels need to be re-positioned!! Not only this side, the kitchen sink area 's panel need to be re-positioned as well due to insuficient space because of the sink size. To me, this information need to be identified beforehand.... not at the last minutes. Discuss the position of each panel with Steven, then again, fabrication now started... without any clear picture (or 3D) for me to be very sure on how the design will look like. again, hopefully the result is not going wrong

3D Design After choose tiling, finally the 3D comes.... for kitchen and feature wall Feature wall & TV Console Version 1 I don't have the softcopy for first version, since Steven only gave me the hardcopy, and didn't manage to scan it. I request black and white color for feature & console. And version 1 had revision, because I don't like the vertical design. Requested to change to horizontal. Version 2 Still feel something is missing , as I need horizontal black glass align with the LCD TV. I was stuck as I have no sample design anymore, and Steven seems waiting... , and no other proposed design. I feel this will cause delay, and moreover, 3D amendment need 7 days!! Then I managed to force Steven to give more sample, and found 1 design i like, and I propose and draw some changes on console, can't wait anymore. (sorry if this one is your 3D design). Requested design an idea came into my mind, I need to put CPU casing!! then where-else I should put if not in tv console? did average measurement for CPU casing, and propose to Steven. (now I am the one who is proposing to him ... gosh ) i requested also the material for each surface.... Version 3 And here is the result... nearly as the one i requested. the doors for console, they should be darker, as it will be clear black glass. and the aluminium frame should not be as thick as shown. and one part at the below should have feature wall with white laminate. Then everything's just based on conversation... no more 3D revision... running out of time now.. now in the progress of fabrication. Let see, hopefully it will be turn out well....

is it? wow.. looking forward the pictures in your blog, i don't see any tile picture leh ... thanks Yang Guo thanks for the info bebebe, i think will consider their product, but seems i have to increase the budget actually i prefer half leather, due to budget constraint. but the color i want, white, will only comes with full leather... and almost reaching 3k let see how much discount they can give

thanks for the advice applefreak! appreciate that agree that Seahorse has range of sofa which are made from leather (half), and I happened to check their product, only thing's that, they have only limited design, and will not entertain any alteration. will see if they will launch new design oh really? yeah, their design is very good, and I can feel the quality... anyway, you know how many percent the price can go down from price tag? Univonna's prices still cheaper than Avanni though. thanks for your info Yang Guo.

hi kajua, yeah, haven't update my signature, so easier to see. Btw, got Steven's contact num from you, right My previous owner really has a good taste in colors indeed. And most I can say extreme. like it though, think that was the reason we bought his unit I might choose soft and warm color as shown in my first post. that was agreement between me and my wife

Sorry that I will not post any pics today Actually my renovation progress now in the phase of lighting installation, painting, and some tiling done already. Starting carpentry measurement. But would like to share my today's activities. Came down to Sungei Kadut.. looking for some pending items like sofa, cofee table, side table, and some other things. Visited Univonna, Home2Be, Brighton, Novena, Avanni and some of the shops in IFC. Looking for half leather sofa, but found out the price mostly more than 2k. Still can't find any sofa that match to my preference: L shape with squarish design, half leather, length about 2.6-2.9 metres, and the price lower than 1.5 k(if possible around 1.1k+ haha), and of course, me and my wife should like the design. Brighton has some that is within our budget.. but leather they use is Ultra Violet Leather. Not sure what type of leather is it, for sure it's synthetic leather. If you happen to know, pls share Browsing around IFC Brighton, I realized that I paid more for my 3 in 1 bed (super single& single) in Brighton Toa Payoh ! I paid for GST there, whereby the sales person said they can't absorb GST. So just to share my experience, you can negotiate as low as you can at Brighton. from the price tag of 1488 (exclude GST) you can negotiate to $1200 (include GST, change this and that, change better leather, and customize to fit into our preference, etc) which I believe still can negotiate more haha Univonna, they have sofa with the nice design, some with full leather, price wise was not bad, around 2k+ to 3k, better quality though.. they said, export quality Avanni, many choices of sofa, and price are negotiable. Sales person also friendly, and doesn't mind to explain many things to me. Some nice design I like, but not too comfortable to sit, and found out, the price can't lower than 2.5k for half leather Some of questions that you may be able to help me to answer : - Which one is easier to maintain : pure leather, or synthetic leather ( PU leather, UV leather, or whatever) - Pls advise if you know any place for me to hunt for sofa Thanks!! Feel tired today for the sofa hunting. See you again tomorrow with some pics
