our floorplan!!

not really that small as ur hub say lah. Quite decently sized!

our floorplan!!

I like the layout for ur hall area...easy for planning!

Upp Boon Keng very near Jalan Besar, easy to shop for sanitary fittings. Genova, Poh Joo all there.

Agree with mrspiglet that if you already have an idea what you want, you might just want to explore going for contractor direct. After all, IDs also have their own "comfort zone" in terms of style. Most of these "IDs" can only do modern and/or resort. Nothing else. So victorian look as them to design... might as well do yourself.

Anyway, for Darwin, my upstairs neighbours use Kelvin (or Kevin). They are pretty happy with it. We complained about some things falling from our ceiling he also come and take a look and seems to be a pretty responsible guy. So you might want to consider him if you are thinking of Darwin.

this year will be a VERY busy year for us - wedding (both rom and ad) and renovation works for our new home.

here's the plan:

hoping to get the keys mid apr

get the fengshui master to come over and do the necessary

inform all the IDs of the changes

got for PS during end apr

start reno when we come back (approximately mid may)

get married on 1 nov

hahhahahaha...busy enough?

we've aly bought our new home - at upper boon keng road. have to acknowledge it is EXPENSIVE. so, we can only do the necessary. then again....haiz...i want to have a modern victorian look. can't find many pictures that fulfill my criteria. any kind souls can help us?

Hi Rierie,

Read that you are interested in a modern victorian look. I happened to browse the net and saw these from an ID firm which I thought you might want to take a look too.

when are u getting married?

i also want to post pics!!!! but haven't get the keys...haiz....

suddenly feel very guilty for slacking when we are about to get the keys. so this week, we are going to look at my favourite (chandelier lights) and tiles.

have been looking the forum and saw that there are basically 3 types of bases that will be built - fridge, cabinet and washing machine.

do we really need these bases? let's say if we don't do the bases, will the heat (for the fridge and washing machine) be able to emit out? will the machines spoil?

any kind souls can help me?

i will be doing without all 3. my kitchen cabinets are the suspended kind. and since i dun really pour water to wash my ktichen floor so contractor says can do without the base.

I only have cabinet base.

My W/M uses the four stone/bricks kind. My W/M is in the toilet so to prevent the bottom from being wet (corrosion) all the time, we put the stones. Mom insists on not having the base as she says she might want to get a bigger/smaller W/M next time and might want to shift the W/M around. Fickle-minded.

My Fridge doesn't have any base.

Unless you intend to wash your kitchen flood-style there's no need for W/M and fridge base...

try to pick all little shades for ur tiles if u want it to look bigger? I realise my MBR toilet looks smaller than b4 with my grey tiles, but i love the spa feeling.. haha!

Anyway, bases.. not necessary if u do suspended cabinet, like wat ivy said. i did w/o the fridge base, didnt wanna restrict myself to limited sizes shd i need to chge fridge next time. Washer base i did, cos my service balcony got mini windows at the bottom. Just now went back and saw a mini flood after the rain there becos workers didnt close the windows, so the bases to protect the washer's legs seem a gd choice back then.

washer = washing machine?

base for cabinet - i gather that it's not needed if we were to do suspending one

base for fridge - not doing it will give us flexibility in the size of fridge. but if there's a flood due to any reason, the fridge will be in water? then will it spoil the fridge?

base for washing machine - it depends on individual? let's say if there's a flood due to any reason, will it spoil the washing machine?
