Piggiedearz,

I was considering between Cottage and Forest. However, for Cottage, everything also need to add extra $$ - for gold trimmings, cut outs, Blum system, etc. In end, the quote by Forest was much more affordable. Plus, my hub preferred the design by Forest. hahaha... I'm also very excited for my reno to start. Targetting to complete b4 CNY.

I'm also very happy to meet lots of people with similar interests in country style homes. So did you design your whole house in the country look as well? Any pics to share?

I hope that everything can be done by end of the month.. I will invite all of u to my house warming.. Let u all see the whole thing..

Xiaobudian,

For your kitchen canopy, the design on it is tiles or carving on the wood? Possible to get a close up pic on the design? Cos Forest giving me a choice and I dunno which to choose yet. Waiting for her drawings.

Mine is tiles.. Wood craving- mine is heart shape..

hi im here. a fellow country lover nice house!

hi kitty jems

my whole house is in this style except for the 2 common rooms which is a mixture as such style is very expensive, my husband do not want to spend that much on renovation, so quite restricted la

i also got quote from forest then, but it was like double or triple of other quotes, so i didn't go for them. i do love some of their designs too! maybe next time if have chance, can get them to do some other projects. cottage gave me very reasonable pricing and they understand what i want in this style, so i went ahead. let me see if i can post some photos i have a canopy in the kitchen too! u can take a look for an idea

sorry can't see the trimming as its too dark in the kitchen

The very small kitchen

The actual colour of the cabinets.. pardon the wire as this is taken during reno

The french blue shoe cabinet. not exactly what i wanted but have to be practical, so bo bian pic quite small and blur as its taken with a mobile. there are white trimmings and stuff on it, not just plain blue

The wardrobe, off white with gold handles and knobs - taken during reno

The MBR with romantic pink flowery wallpaper lol

Another pic taken via mobile.. thus the poor quality. Had pillars and beam to separate the living and the dining area. can't see the beam from here though. will post next time when i have chance to snap with a camera

my fireplace! pls ignore the logs as they are too huge for the fireplace. just for photoshoot only haha. can't see the trimmings well as its taken with shadows. no carvings for my fireplace. classic design

Living room curtains with lacey day ones
