Yenming 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2008 Hi mwerkz, the false ceiling above breakfast counter is painted in stonecave & black colour. Originally, we asked ID to paint cool slate & black. But we dont like the colour so we requested him to change the colour. Hi MS07, total renovation cost shd be ard 42K (just an estimate cos we added new things along the way). Some ID say he absorb some too expensive things, we need to bear. So we r also nt sure of the final bill. As for electrical works, it shd be ard 2.8K and lightings we spent ard 1K. Hi flyingballoons & geryl, thanks. we also luv our place very much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi flyingballoons & geryl, thanks. we also luv our place very much. thanx. had initially wanted to implement something like tat for my ceiling abv de island. but realise it doesn really work in my case. cos de side of my island, is another row of kitchen cabinets. u'll understand better if u take a look at my first round 3d drawings on my blog. moreover i dun haf false ceiling for that area. so have to give this idea a miss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yenming 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2008 Hi mwerkz, I saw ur drawings. Me too. Initially, we dun hav it. We asked ID to think of how to run the false ceiling in such a way tt we can hav tis special effect. Actually, I also want it to be in black & lollipop. But my hubby is against of this idea because our TV console is in tinted mirror, white n black. So he chose a greyish brown colour instead. But I think nt too bad lah. stil can accept the colour.

Yenming 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) Main Door Managed to take a pic of the new painted main door. Previously, we dun really like the painted colour of black & grey. So we requested Johnny to help us think of another matching colour.. So he proposed to use Raffles colour. Nice!!! BEFORE AFTER Finally, breakfast counter wif the tinted mirror & grey laminate. wanted to take pics of the kitchen cabinets. but the tinted mirror for backsplash is not installed. Will take again on thurs. EXCITED. Finally, we r shifting in on 31/Aug. Still left wif 2 more days for Johnny to install the outstanding stuff and general cleaning. Anyone knows wat cleaning agents to use for homogenous tiles & solid surface? Need to buy the stuff on Friday. Yest, we went to confirm our sofa. Originally, we wanted to buy Red Apple sofa. But, read a lot of bad reviews about them in this forum. Skeptical in buying fr them. However, we still racqee ard other shops in IMM. Finally, we went in to Furniture Club @ IMM. Served by an asst. mgr, Gwen. She's a nice lady. Good attitude and service. Its obvious tt we told her our miserable budget of only 1.5K (tight budget). She told us its impossible to get a set in her place. However, she's nt the least turn off by us. She even help us to check her old models (still able to produce) and offer a special price @ 1.7K - L-shaped Sofa. She did some recommendations and was really sincere in offering her genuie advice on which fabric colour to choose, type of fabric and how to place the sofa. We really appreciate her effort and finally, we decided to close the deal. She knws tt we had a tight budget, so before we do any negotiation, she's kind enuff to throw in 3 small cushions for us. At the end of the day, she even T-loan us a sofa for 1 mth while waiting for our new sofa. Thumbs up for her!!! Strongly recommend her if anyone is buying a sofa for their place. Thou we r rather worried to sign on impulse before we see the actual set (only managed to c the pic), we still trust tt she'll help to ensure the quality and level of service thru-out.

Yenming 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 Good Follow-Up by ID Although, Johnny is extremely bz, we r glad tt he's able to remember wat we have requested him to take note and follow up. I believe that not every ID is able to expedite a 100% follow-up. But at least we can see that he's able to follow up closely for us. For example, we told him tt the common toilet has a ugly pipe. He tried to help us think of way to cover it. We tried painting it over orange. But its still ugly. Finally, he came up wif another idea to remove the original pvc pipe and replace it wif another "so call better looking stainless steel pipe". it looks much better now. BEFORE AFTER Today is the final installation for all works. Kitchen workstation backsplash, some pending switches, granite top and mirror for vanity at MBR toilet, MBR TV console black glass. Thurs shall be general cleaning. Last touch up for paint will be on Fri. However, he discovered tt the diamension of my toilet granite top is not according to wat was informed to carpentor. Hence, they need to re-do the granite top for my vanity again. hai... i think they r nt able to complete it before the handover. Of cos, we do not blame Johnny since it was granite ppl who did not do according to the initial specifications. But we r juz disappointed. Nevertheless, we'll still proceed to move ahead to shift in by 31.Aug. Some pics:- My open concept kitchen is finally 95% completed. ]We really like the tinted mirror as backsplash. Johnny upgrade black glass to tinted mirror for free. But Johnny checked and notify us that the black glass pull-down cabinet for dish has a crack. Hence, he asked carpentor to replaced. shd be able to replace by friday. Take a closer look at the switches at the backsplash. Its unique.. Sis-in-law room is finally completed. Her wardrobe has a pull-out mirror. We specially request Johnny to include it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
