The Renovation Project Of 5rm Flat In Central Area

Recommended Posts

After months of search, I got myself this 5 room flat, which was much loved by the ex-owner but in her original condition.

The floor plan

The Transition Stage One - two to three weeks after start

I did not manage to inspect the progress when the contractor was hacking wall and laying the tiles. As soon I returned from overseas in two weeks, all tiles were completed and I saw the new entrance to the common toilet.

Over ordered mosaic tiles. The tiles will be used together with homogeneous floor tiles at recess area.

The contractor's bad estimation resulted in large quantity of left-over tiles. I used this point to negotiate with my designer to write off additional charges for more expensive tiles compared to contracted price range. But I doubt the tiles can be returned to the supplier. 8|

The common toilet is classical. The tiles look like marble from distance.

Arrgh...spalling concrete. According to HDB, spalling concrete is normal wear and tire issue, which should be taken care of the owner. There are only seven HDB licensed contractors who can repair it. :(

Renovation Project - Transition stage two

There was much progress in the first week of December and now I can almost visualize beyond Future Mode Operation (FMO) date.

I have one missing panel of windows grills in one common room. The most left-hand window used to accommodate the window air-con thus the grill was not installed. Should I box up that window instead?

The prospective drawings to me are just for reference only. The curtain is definitely not the type I will use. There are changes along the renovation. For example, the false ceiling became two runways instead of one.

Master toilet. I changed the position of basin and made the shower area squarish. By doing this, I can have a bigger vanity top and better utilized space.

3130228271_e869dc5ff1.jpg

Common toilet. The common toilet door is changed from dining to kitchen. So my guests and I won't face the toilet while having dinner. I will also have a big piece wall in front the dining table to put display cabinet or buffet.

Now the paniting is done. I prefer netural color or earth tone. Well my favourite color scheme is warm gold, beige, grey, contrast of black and white. These are the colors I used. The paint is ICI Dulux

Living and Dining - Lily white.

TV console and buffet area in living&dining - Natural Linen. I should have picked darker color with warmer tone such as Bisque. But the selection process is a bit rash and it was the first time I saw the catalog. Anyway, lighter color makes the room brighter!

Common rooms - Lilac White. It turned out to be mor purplish than white. Although my family picked the color, I like it.

Master bedroom - Natrual Cane

The entrance with Lily White wall and white door. In order to make the ceiling feel higher, I need to choose the lighter color compared to flooring. :)

Living is Lily White. TV concole area is Natrual Linen

Nice nice, and very pretty 3D works. :P

Kinda like the round entrance that the previous owner had also, keke.. can make it an oriental style area. :P

It is handled by Frankie from Earnst Interiors. I promised I would say good words for him if he did a good job. :D

What is your designer name?

In three days, all lights were installed. The bedroom floor has been revanished and painted. I was thrilled to see the look-like-brandnew parquet floor. The workmanship is impeccable! :yamseng: The kitchen cabinets are up as well. But due to the short of the laminate, the cabinet above the fridge and rubbish chute can not be completed before handover. :dunno:

Living lighting. I could have chosen squarish PLC lights. But I ended up having round shapes ones since these were not purchased by me.

Dining lighting. The chandelier frame has been installed. It's gonna take me a while to put up 100 crystal balls..
