A Place To Call Home

[kenrickk 0]

Finally I am going to start my t-blog, after months of checking around. Hope can get some idea here also.

This is my original floor plan.

After talking to quite a number of IDs and Contractors and after many reviews, this is the final floor plan (Hopefully).

After checking around in the forum and talking to friends, I met with following IDs.

1. DX Interior (Edmund) - No reply after 1st meeting

2. Intra Design (Dave) - Nice guy, Like his idea, but too high for us,

3. Ideal House (Johnny) - Nice and friendly guy, comfortable with him, most importantly, match the budget

4. Fuse Concept (Dan) - Nice guy with ideas, too busy to handle our reno

5. Modern Home (Kent) - Refer by a friend, nice guy, transfer the project to a (i think) new guy

6. *** Interior (Raymond) (met at interior design fair @ Expo) - Didn't follow our instruction, ask me to assign him as designer and pay the $ for design, doesn't matter whether i take the project or not, nice guy but not comfortable.

7. *** Space (met at interior design fair @ Expo) - a new sales guy. I know more than him for some items.

8. Plush Living (met at interior design fair @ Expo, no follow up)

9. *** Creation (Alan) - ok guy, but not comfortable. a lady listen to our conversation from next table, also follow us around and listen while showing the show room, dont know who is the teacher and who is the apprentice. (and dont like his handshake)

Finally, we choose to go with Johnny from Ideal House. I can get along with him. And, due to his price, (although not lowest) i manage to add some additional items within our budget.

Just sign last week, today was tile viewing. will update later.

7 & 8 became ***. So adjust a bit.

This is the 1st stage 3 D drawings. A lot more to change.

Kitchen

I told him the fridge is black tempered glass. Not sure whether match with green or not.

Bed room and master bath

The WIW is sided wrongly.

Living Room

Only one door is glass door which i will be using for entertainment room. The rest are wooden doors.

False ceiling looks too plain, i think.

Pls give comments.

We chose from our 1st selection of tiles. But, some of them are out of stock. So finally we got to choose some of the tiles again.

The final tile selection will be these.

These are for Master Bath Room
