Defelio 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 Hey guys,Started this thread to digitally pen down the progess of our home which i hope it can help others in their renovation as other T-Blogs had helped alot in the choices to make and options available in the market unknown to the new birds Here's the floor plan of our place.Being quite lost in what we are suppose to do when we first heard that our place would be ready in April 11. I starting seraching online for renovation stuffs and found renotalk.We prefer to do research on the themes instead of letting the designer suggesting to us as at least we knew what we don't want.Of course the main thing was we weren't sure of the theme we would like to have and gradually found pieces of furniture that made up the theme of mid century. Well the internet had good info but local magazines got the "lobangs" that are hard to be found online which inspiration and ideas mainly came from.For ID, we went to North West and a ID(read about them from renotalk) at Yishun central near the hot/cold desert store but sadly both didn't get back to us. No point chasing ID if they aren't interested in doing our business. I found out my ID Frevor Design through word of mouth. He came with his designer which was surprising. There are 2 reasons why we choose him. Firstly we were deeply impress that his designer was able to hand drawn 3D drawings as we were discussing on the outlook. Secondly, they were clearly more interested in the designs WE WANTED and offering us suggestion base on our lifestyles rather than talking $$$ and package.. Those ID who talk to you about those stuffs are mostly salesman.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Defelio 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 After much "complain" from us that the MBR was relatively small, my ID suggested this layout.This offer us a WIW, plenty space for study but clearly sacrificing the other room which we would require it in the years to come for our baby/kid. From there, I continue to explore the possible layouts using Open Office Impress equivalent Microsoft Power-point.Not using the Common Rm 1Taking up 1 window + space to accommodate the study area.Swapping the bed area and study area as i feel don't have privacy if the bed can be seen from the corridor Some changes to the sofa as we had decided on the sofa we fell in love with This will be shown later.

Defelio 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 Being TV addicts, we would love to have a view at the TV even while having meals or in the kitchen. Problem is the cable TV outlet is on the wall beside the Common Room 2 and we find it weird to have the Sofa jutting out.Layout of the lighting points and false ceiling. There will be a L-box for the bottom of the living room, eliminating the expose trunking and covering the wires for lighting and speaker cables(No point do so much but have a trunking expose..).

Defelio 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 Some of ya may be thinking, why no living room 3D desgin? Well, we are not having any feature wall for the TV to be mounted, the furnitures will be the "point of interests" instead and we love the Sony NX710 3D LED TV.We love the flat front screen look which blacks out when switch off and slanted off it speaker base.Our sofa that we fell in love with!!The colour has been decided and won't be reveal till it arrives.

Defelio 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 The next piece is the lounge chair.White is damm cool but decided against it as it will be very obvious once dirty/stain.What do ya think? Black or White?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Defelio 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 The TV console/side table.We were deciding on either of this two designs.We like the sleekness of this piece but somehow it lack the practicality of storing my Wii, xBox, cable tv set-top box and future AV receiver, PS3 or blue-ray player unless i'm gonna place it on the top which is a no-no..So we decided on this and have the width shorten to accommodate being within the length of the wall.

Defelio 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Lastly the coffee table, our choices must be wood and no metal as we basically love bend wood! We saw this at first and found it unique.NoguchiCan't recall the name. This support for this is sleek.Infinity and price of it is..... Well if i'm printing $$$$$, i would get this. It won a design award or something.Eames plytable. We decided on this for two reasons. Safety comes somewhat first of not having a glass top. Secondly the round table matches the sofa inner curvature perfectly!Having a raised surround, we won't have items rolling off(as if we putting marbles and balls) and water won't be dripping off the side onto the carpet.

footprint 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 btw, those tv consoles are nice!wonder where can those be found? thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Defelio 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 Thanks May. We hope the colour we choosed would be as lovely.Ya the MBR was quite tight but still possible to play around with. It's easier if you have the bed cut out and shift around rather than drawing. I copied the given floorplan from my ID and used Adobe and Open Office Impress.Hope you can use some of the ideas I had provided =) also place to check out for console are like this are Lush Lush, Harvey Norman at Milenia Walk, Motto, P5, A thousand tales, Ion, Paragon, Granfunkt Extra Living. Don't worry Chris, more will be added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RimBlock 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 Hi Defelio,Love the tables but as you say, for us at least, not practical with soon to be three kids running around.Love the look of the sofa as well but I wonder how comfy it will be after sitting on it for some time. We have a 'Zen' style sofa with a low back but are looking to change as when watching movies or TV for long periods especially after work there is nowhere to rest my upper back or head. Saying that, I am quite tall.Seriously love the TV. Looks so cool but Sony tend to be seriously priced as well.The lounge chair looks ideal for me. As you say, white would become a grubby stain magnet I think but the black looks very nice.Good luck on the reno, the 3Ds look great.RB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
