New Tiny Home @ City View Boon Keng

Recommended Posts

After following this forum for quite some time, i have decided to share some processes that i went through onmy renovation.

Let's start off with the floor plan:

My link

Upon getting the keys my sife and i went in and it was such a small house and was totally of different imagination of what i would expect when we went to the show flat 3 years ago. The agent told us that the 3 rooms were only a balcony and a room lesser compared to the 4 room. So i thought ok since its only 2 person staying in it thus i bought it.

We initially chosen the 3 room at block 7 with a slight longer walkway but was 1 day late to put down the initial deposit thus getting the other 3 room slightly smaller cos less the walkway upon the main entrance.

Immediately we knew that the theme to work on the renovation was extra space with modern look. Since it was a DBSS flat we decided to work on a budget below $12K so not to let the banks earn interest out of it.

We decided to visit both IDs and contractors through friend's recommendations and selective walk-ins.

Visited 3 IDs and 2 Contractors got their quotes and finally decided on taking up the package from a contractor even his quote wasn't the cheapest but selected due to wife's friend.

Following on:

L-Box False Ceiling with Philips down lights

IMG_0767.jpg?t=1306052975

Spot ights along walkway connecting to rooms. I have included a false ceiling with spot lights to give some ambience when walking to the rooms as well as to give some focus lights on my paintings.

Bathroom Lights: Chsen something real simple and best of all aqua proof.

IMG-20110402-00441.jpg?t=1306053075

Rain Shower @ MBR. The original shower head given was ok and looking good but decided to go for a rain shower as water pressure was quite strong due to low floor condition. The problem is i miss the part where there will be holes from the previous shower set which had to replace the tiles or i will patch it up and simply live with it.
