At last we have moved in and not fully settled down yet. We are still getting some workers coming in every now and then to finish off some minor works. We find it a chore as we need to be around and not able to organise the house. Gosh, and we are physically tired and mentally drained.

Here are some pictures:

And closer look at our kitchen sink - really happy with it. It has a wide strainer and a deep scoop garbage disposal.

Your place is very tastefully done! I'm sure you spent not just a lot of money but also time in choosing all those little pieces of furnishings to go with it. I have got lots to learn from your example!

A big thumbs up! :good:

It's from Toto. Think the model is Ishibashi.

There is a display of this set at their Toto showroom along Bukit Timah Road.

Thanks mmycheng. We actually sat down with our architect friend since April this year just to go through the layout. We just want a house that is easy to maintain and one that can last us through our old age. Hehe.

Thanks mwerkz.

When we were planning for the master bedroom, we want to have a spacious entrance and a non-cluttered sight. That wall area is purposely planned. Our original idea is to have a sculpture but it will be too big for that area and might hinder movement towards the master wardrobe.

With that idea mooted earlier from our planning stage, we already had in mind to have a light to shine down towards the object. For now, it is a painting. The painting is light and easily hang.

Wah porkypig, u really went through! :)

Guess we are lucky to have an architect friend who is super detailed. She has a good designer partner too.

Hmm, must say the renovation costs us a bomb. It is a choice between having an expensive resale flat or to do a renovation that will last for a loooonnnggg time for us :)

Reiki,

Have to agree with the rest of the spammers that ur resale flat is really well done up. Looks even better than those new HDB Premium flats. Your kitchen has the moden look while the MBR has the resort feel. How I wish I have a flat like that to stay.

Thanks tower.

Guess, there's plus minus getting this resale flat. One of the things is not having a gas pipe - not used to having cylinder gas and always feel like the gas gonna empty soon after each cooking. :bangwall:

Looking back, this renovation is such a great life lessons. Surely, it will stay within us down the years ahead.

Err, what is w/m eh? :unsure:
