cost saving transformation....

initially, we wanted to hack off this wall, but that'll affect the "still in good condition" kitchen tiles... so we painted the frame white and replace the rounded wooden top with a straight white solid top...

Hi love the white kitchen. May i know how is the maintenance like so far?

its not that i am still active.... just that recently i have some minor reno to my flat. 

1) Install smart home system so that i can control all the lightings, aircon, fans, and even tv using my smart phone. if i want to, i can do it for all power points so i can on my rice cooker, stove etc with it. but i only did it for my living and bedroom so nothing done for kitchen. 

2) Install a new bedhead which previously not enough budget so use partition board to cover up all the aircon piping.... now changed it to proper cabinet with storage area..... so wanted to put here on renotalk. but i guess too little to talk abt... :P

i wish i can also sell my flat and buy new so can talk abt reno again.:D

where you buying your next home? EM have to upgrade to condo or landed lah.....

Yes now I got 4 bunnies lol... bought another 2 n adopted 1 from a friend who is migrating lol..... have been working n when got extra money go for short holiday in Bangkok past 5 yrs... quite routine , quite normal.... the idea to sell our flat just came up suddenly between my wife n me and since both of us agree to something so unanimously (which seldom happens lol) we decided to go ahead and sell our flat although it does bring a lot of sweet n maybe not so sweet memories to us haha..... I'm starting my home hunting and Reno budget calculations since my first appointment with HDB for this sale is next month .... so we are looking forward to it :)
