Finally... A Place In The East

Recommended Posts

Wah its interesting how it can be stacked up like this! But you won't be stacking up very often right? So I guess it would not be a cause of concern. Can you also pm me the price? Many thanks =)

I guess will stack up when it rains... Anyway I feel that the "egg" shape one is more comfy :)

Think got a few branches... United Square (near Novena Square) and Katong Mall...

Checked around and found that their prices are reasonable...

Hi,

Heard from a fren too - prices are very reasonable.

She advises us to look around for desirable models at larger stores such as *est *enki, then get them from the Mega store at Katong Mall.

She has saved about $13K if I remembered correctly - for the appliances bought for her new place!

I thought it is a good deal!

Yup.. I saved $800 off my fridge, $150 off my washing machine.. TV not sure cos I never keep track of the original price... :)

So shop around... it will be worth the effort...

The bed in his room is super single. It is custom made to sit on the baywindow with cabinets at the bottom. The room is really small, so no choice have to find ways to save space..

Basically 40% of the width of the bed is on the baywindow, the other 60% is on a custom built structures that holds the cabinet below.

I should be able to share some pics next week. Carpentry will be starting on Monday. :)

Hi HKching

Congrats on finally getting your key to the new condo :)

Just wondering if you are installing window grilles since your son's bed will be built onto the bay window. Probably would b good to install.

How much did your total estimate worked out to be? I completed my reno for new condo 2 months ago for a 3 bedrm also but just did minimal and reno alone costs about $15k and another $16k on furniture, lights, curtains, electronics and plants.

Hope it can be ready soon and you can move in quickly :) look forward to seeing more pics.

Yup... have to do grilles for the room. Actually, the windows comes with a built in safety feature. You cannot open the window fully until you release a catch and push all the way at the same time. Kids don't have the strength to do it. But doing grilles anyway cos will open the windows fully most of the time as it is windy.

Reno part is around 25K cos doing lots of carpentry, chengal decking and wallpapering. Additional furniture, curtains, lightings and electronics abt 13K.

Hopefully can move by next weekend. Most of the reno will be completed this week. Wait until neck long long already...

Hi hkching, what do you intend to do to your windows at your toilet? I recall from the photos that it seems very open!

Doing venetian blinds... Didn't want to frost it cos I still would like some light into the bathroom.

Similar to this...

But going to frost the window next to the toilet bowl... no choice for that one..

Dunno why they do the toilet until so open... the whole architecting team must be all guys...
