I saw in some mags they've got these black tiles that give a 3D-effect... I think they look very cool! You can check them out and see if they fit your budget.

How about you don't hack the entire wall? Perhaps you can just hack half of the wall and glass it up to still give it an open-concept feel, avoiding the place where the column is? Is this possible?

erms. wat do u mean by hang flower?

de prob now is, hdb can't even tell my ID exactly how big is this column that they are saying we can't hack. n if dey can't tell us, how are we going to further plan for our kitchen. am considering doing close concept kitchen. but tat would oso mean i have wasted money buying all de fanciful kitchen fittings

n have to start sourcing the forum all over again for ideas on close concept kitchen. can anyone share pics or tell me whose hm kitchen is nice?

so many things happen the last wk.

1) hdb rejected our reno application indicating that the wall we are trying to hack is a column

2) collect keys from hdb on 03.10.08

3) go to red apple to confirm furniture and arrange delivery on early dec

4) bought mitsubishi sys 3 non-inverter r410 gas aircon from gain city

5) went with ID to site to hack down the kitchen cabinet

6) verified that it is really a column even though it's not indicated on the floorplan bought from hdb

7) settled n finalised tiles after realising the tiles that we have previously selected is prone to scratches

8) drop by chelsea lighting and shortlisted the lights that we are interested in

9) ID submitted the new reno application permit indicating the walls to hack again, excluding the column

now practically waiting for hdb to approve the reno application n we can start hacking!! let's all pray that i can start reno soon

wow. i submitted the reno permit application on 23sep, got rejected on 30th cos i applied to hack a rc column which wasn't indicated on my floor plan

nobody could tell me how big was this rc column, nor how big the wall i can hack. so i waited till 4oct to verify with my ID after i got my keys, today 6oct, my ID continued the application process indicating the columns length n applied for other walls to be hacked!

waiting for hdb to get back to me. not sure usually how long, but my ID says it's 7-10days if u r hacking any walls. otherwise, normal reno is juz 3days to apply.

Warranty wise... mine is 1yr for parts and fan coil units; 5yrs for the compressor.

Good that you have applied for the reno permit before u even get the key. If you only start applying the first time after collection of keys, your reno will start even later. All the best to you!
