MGL installed the curtains today

Full length day+night for living and half length night for all bedrooms

Here's the living room curtain

Sofa faabric 3+L from Seahorse, cheapest I can find, and I like the quality for this price.

coffee table and telephone table from Ikea

TV and TV console moved from my previous flat

Still using the TV console moved from my previous flat. Haven't seen any that I wanna buy yet, my priority now is the dining table. I'm still using my Carrefour 6ft plastic folding table as my dinign table.

Hi SgNick,

Very nice curtain in your living room.

I also have a tic-tac cabinet, hope it will turn out well like yours.

Just to inform you that I have started my renovation and I'm into my 2nd week.

Wish me luck...... can't wait to move back home!

Hi Lyn,

Thanks.

I had a look at your blog, nice place. All the best to your reno.

I have a ceremic soap holder that vincent helped me to fix to the wall before handover, but they used rubber material sealant to seal the sides, which was nice but I find too soft and not very lasting, so yesterday i asked vincent can help to change the sealant (dig out) and change to harder type, and he sent his guys today and did it.

My wife also wanted to add additional shelving inside the MBR wardrobe, so we ask vincent can help, and he obliged and add for us too today FOC, hahahahaha. No choice, sometime u don't really know what configuration u want in the wardrobe until u moved in and start using.

hi sgnick, i have contacted vincent. agreed, nice chap with fast response. meeting him again tmr to see if can lower quote. kekeke..

anyway, ur curtain is nice. where u get it from? mind to share the lobang? i also on low budget for my 5i sims dr unit.

No dslr, just a fuji pns. Need to manually adjust the exposure setting till can get this.

Bought Ikea Torsby white coloured glass table with steel underframe as my dining table $249.

and 4 Laver chairs $12.95 each.

This fit my low cheapo dining set budget, and I like the white colour.

My gate is stainless steel, installed by the previous owner

Doors all from previous owner, i just get them painted

Main door is original HDB, i just get it painted

Windows and Grilles I get from Alex from City Aluminium -> nine-one-zero-zero-eight-seven-six-seven

Very nice and neat design.

Been getting lots of PM request for my contractor contacts the past few days. I have replied every PM.

I'll be out of Singapore the next few days so I wont be replying to PMs for couple of days, and I guess putting contractor contact numbers here is probably not a good idea and not allowed.

Anyway, just curious, anyone whom I have PMed contact has gotten quote already, and how's the quote?

Hi,

Can i have your contractor - Willie & Vincent's contact no.?

Hi,

my reno has finally started. It started last Saturday actually with hacking of cabinets. Or maybe last Friday with removal of window grills. hmmmm...

Here's my floor plan. 122sqm 5I.

Current plan (subject to changes)

I have engaged a company that is relatively unknown here in renotalk, Room For Ideas Pte Ltd, managed by Willie and Vincent.

This is after getting about 8 quotes from IDs and contractors. Both Willie and Vincent are easy to talk to and friendly, and give me a good price for the reno. Quality wise I have visited one of their newly completed HDB project, looks great and owner happy with their work.

Scope for my reno includes full hacking and rewiring, so is a complete overhaul of my flat.

So far so good, hacking done, waterproofing started, tiling started.

Tiles from Hafary and Hup Kiong

Baron WC/Sink from GRLink

Taps from Grohe

Rubine Kitchen Sink from Poh Seng

Mitsubishi Starmex Sys4 from Gain City

Windows and Grills from City Aluminium, Alex (former from Yick Hong I think)

UPDATE 28-July

Renovation is almost done, almost move in condition, just few finishing touches

Over all, everything is well done, and we manage to keep the cost to low 40K which is inclusive of electricians, so I will say my reno is value for money and I will highly recommend my contractor for their value and good work. And their attitude has been top notch throughout the entire period, when i make request for changes etc, sometimes even after the thing is already up, no unhappiness, no blackface, etc, gave me everything i asked for the way i wanted with a very service oriented attitude. Thumbs Up for Willie and Vincent from "Room For Ideas".

Hi, do you mind to pm me the contact?

Thanks

hi sgnick, vin has get back to me on my quote. he stated perspective drawing in his quote. he drew for you too? can show us? wanna see the 3d vs actual ones... hehehe. thanks!
