windy

Hi Explorers, where's your place? Also at Tanglin Halt? You didn't call them up to check again?

Ya...they told us it was raining last fri..so cannot do.. Anyway, my contractor told me the materials for HDB cement screeding is in our hse already..so should be starting soon.... Hi Apa, oh..you bought from which sales person from Bedding Saloon? We was served by the sales supervisor, Anjohn, he has good product knowledge and his service was great! Anyway, we love the bed frame we bought and it really suit our theme.

hmmm...for the tap and sink, not sure what brands they carry leh...as for the cooker hob, i saw Rinnai, Turbo, Cuizino, Fujitoh. The boss said he supplied to some of our neighbours too, he recommend that the kitchen sink cannot be too big due to the space constraint..

HDB did not turn up for the cement screeding on friday...my contractor's very angry with them...he needs to wait for HDB to do the cement screeding for the bedrooms before he can start laying tiles for the living room. Anyway, just finalised the tiles on Saturday and decided on using the white homogenous tiles and black shimmering compressed marble for our foyer area which cost us $500 more than the normal homogenous tiles.. it was our contractor's suggestion but both of us love his idea... Will post up the tiles pics later... Bought the kitchen sink, tap and cooker hob at Uned Bath Station (at Hougang). Recommended by a friend, the service was good and the boss gave good recommendations too. Cuizino Cooker Hob

Went down to Mesin Furniture last Sunday too. It was closed and only saw few pieces of furniture only...

yeah...HDB coming to do cement screeding today... my reno will be starting too...hee...think tomorrow go down to take a look..

This morning woke up at 7am...to meet the contractor to "Dong Tu"...We want to start work before the 7th mth...Should be starting to do the electrical works and false ceiling this Fri...Also went down to branch office to report defects and apply for cement screeding for the bedrooms... Found some time to upload the pics of my hse before reno... From the entrance Kitchen - For the cabinet Kitchen - Fridge and Gas heater will be here Living Rm - Sofa will be here Living Rm - TV console will be here

No leh...was too tired yesterday..forgotten about taking pics. Anyway will be going back to choose the free quilt cover design in 2 weeks' time..will go take and post up..hee.. Really tiring leh...more weekends to burn...

This weekend was really busy for us.... Finally went to open door on Sat morning. Both my FH and I couldn't sleep well the night before, we were too excited. Went to open door to our new flat at 8am....look around and checked for defects. We had our water supply activated, so we tested the shower. The shower head was leaking...so my FH tried to tighten it..but the quality was so bad that it breaks! Gonna report this to HDB this week. Met up with our contractor to discuss the things we wanted to do and also went down to the tiles supplier to look see...Sort of decided on the tiles... but will double confirm again...After that we went down to The Furniture Mall to confirm the measurement of some items which we saw previously. Hearing all the raves in the forum about Morris Lifestyle, we drove down to Admiralty...but was disappointed by the sales person's attitude. Went down to Courts at Bukit Timah hoping to take the measurement of the sofa we wanted but too bad, it's no longer on display I think no choice...have to find another alternative...then on the way home..we went down to Brighton at TPY, didn't see anything we like again... This morning, went to our flat again...this time with my parents cos they were excited to see too...then went to Alexandra Village to take measurement of the Fridge and washing machine that we wanted...then went down to the Furniture Warehouse at Labordor...was served by a young salesman...very attentive...saw a dining table that we like at Star Furniture but decided to KIV it first. Drove to Defu Furniture..but the place was kinda partially under reno and the service s*cks...After that, we drove to Ubi, went to NOVA furniture...didn't see anything we like too...We were kinda disappointed. But on the way back, we saw some nice bed displays at Sleeping Saloon at MacPherson and decided to take a final look. F INALLY....We bought a bed frame, queensize bed and sofa from there....We were so happy...but I'm still thinking if we are buying on impluse cos our house will only be ready in about 2 to 3 mths' time...and we could have spend more time "researching" on the items we bought. But I'm glad that we finally found 3 items we like after travelling almost the whole of Singapore...We were quite happy about it...

Thanks! yeah! that was my initial plan...will check out the price first..WIW expensive leh...

Sohzai, give them a call. I waited for quite some time too. Sent them an email followed by a call and I got my collection date the next day. I think you need to push them a bit.

Thanks Tck for the suggestion. We want to keep the good outside view from our bedroom door....so..can't use this layout..

We not getting ID, will plan on our own and get the contractor to do...so thinking of doing a built-in wadrobe or just buy those ready made bedroom set.

Hi all, any suggestion of how to place the furniture in the master bedroom? cracked our head and still can't find a best solution...

ha...look spacious only...saw a neighbour's unit downstairs...very small leh..only 90sqm..

Mos_burger, Pm me your unit...will reply you Hi Anise and tckrto (I assume you are tck in SGBride forum??), nice to see you here...thanks for spamming! yes...I'm getting the sofa...hopefully still in production...cos the other time we went , the courts salesgirl saymaybe going to discontinued. By the way, you both got reno blog?

Thanks all for your advice. Will look around for more quotations. So happy, will be collecting my keys next Thu... time to get busy..lots of things to decide

Ha...thanks for spamming! ok lo...keep the big big picture then.. Can't wait to get our keys...want to take lots of pics to post up here.. By the way, do you all think 15K is enough to do basic reno, i.e. flooring, kitchen cabinet, electrical works, painting and wadrobe for MBR?

Thanks for spamming! Any idea how to make the picture smaller?

Hi all, Only have one entry on my blog but decided to move here instead. Seems like more active here. Have selected a unit at Tanglin Halt but still waiting for my keys collection. Other neighbours already collected theirs liao...our's taking very long and we are getting impatient liao..going to call HDB soon. Chinese 7th month coming..so I don't think we will be in time to start the reno. Meanwhile, we are looking around for reno ideas and talking to ID / contractors to get quotations first. Hoping to do something simple, a minimalist / contemporary theme with a clean and tidy look. Here's our floor plan.. Been looking around for furniture last month and found this 3 seater sofa at Courts. Fell in love with it the first time we saw it. Can't find any similar one at other places like sungei kadut, IFC, furniture mall, IMM, ikea... should be going back to courts to buy at a later date..hopefully it's still available. The display is in white, but we want to get a black one. Anybody know where we can get similar type of sofa?

Hi TYM... like your hse reno...very simple and cosy... ask u ah...For open concept kitchen...will the living room floor be oily when you cook?

Hi all...just selected a unit 336 at blk 90. Anybody staying at unit 336? Care to share your layout? Me and my FH cracking our heads on the arrangement liao... Very tempted to join THUM tom leh...all of you seem so friendly...but then I very shy...hee

I don't think weekday only 20 applicants leh...mine is on Wed afternoon and my number 111. After today selection left Tues only mah...

hee...111.
