It's finally my turn to create a t-Blog here!

After 3 years of BTO and DBSS, we desperately entered the Resale Market in June 2008.

Viewing flats from Tampines 5I to Tampines 4A to Tampines 3NG to Pasir Ris 5A, we finally settled at Pasir Ris 4A with 332K + 8K. Though we really loved Tampines, but it is way above our budget, so Pasir Ris here we come! Not to forget we do get another $10k grant for staying near my parents teehee!

The living room floor looks quite ok but the kitchen flooring is really quite old...

congrats! another easterner

kitchen cabinet seems to be in a very gd condition.. keeping or hacking?

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to renotalk!

Most of all, enjoy the process of renovating the place into your dream home!

Your place very near Ikea, does that make your flat more pricier than those further in?

IVY, u r fast!!!

heheh first time and i happen to be online when you post

Spam chop and congrates on ur new home! Wah... It's so nice to stay near IKEA... Can always go there for meatballs and salmon.

Ur place looks very well kept. The kitchen also seems very nice. Is the floor in the service balcony tiles or those vinyl covering?

looks good. fairly neutral reno done, and the kitchen condition looks v livable.

Congratulations on your new purchase. Great location to be walking distance to Ikea & hypermart.

spam chop

love what the previous owner did to the kitchen

makes it look so much more spacious

just curious, what did they do to the remaining space?

looks good!but maybe u want to remove the bedroom cabinet and change of the toilet wall and floor tiles,,,kitchen and lving area seems good!!!

Yes, jus what we planned. Hack the bedroom cabinet totally. definitely changing the toilet floor and tiles but quite pricey. kitchen floor tiles have to change too! our budget only ard $25k for everything!

Agreed! we r keeping the living room floor and overlaying the kitchen flooring.

Jus received our very 1st quotation, so little rectification and costs $16k already

what r the cheaper alternatives to fix the cabinets below the windows?

the color and design is seriously OLD! but changing all of them will need ard $3k!

btw, any idea where to get this kinda bathtub?
