Hi fellow reno kakies~

Guess by reading and hijacking all your lovely T-Blogs there, I have gained a lot of important information such as “things to take note”, ideas, pricing, good deals and so on.

Just to share we bought our first house under constituency of Minister Khaw Boon Wan with a hefty S$40k COV!!!.

We have really hard time of seeking low COV with affordable Val price but both doesn’t come as expected… we even con by housing agent too.. by pushing up the COV…(Nightmare)

Nevertheless, after 1 month active search and stop for another month (due to high ave cov at S60k) and resumed back on the 3rd month where we finally locked down our dream home~ yay

ID selection was hectic…..imagine few ID firms will give you a ring and promise with quote bla bla bla..when received the quote..it makes you faint~

Well, to cut short key collection will be in 2 weeks time~~ Weeeee~~

Floor plan as attached...as still thinking how to make the space look more spacious besides using mirror

just for fun

Hi Simontsh,

Thanks for popping by

How was your rework on e 3D design? Good?

Haha notice that u place a partition shoe cabinet there.. As Miss C did proposed to us in e earlier stage but was rejected by me due to:

1) will e shoe cabinet too small?

2) block the fresh air from outside?

3) make the living and dinning space too small?

4) hard to walk around when entering the house?

Thus I plan to place the shoe cabinet next the the windows but I only found out that there will be a windows and I can't enjoy a full length& height shoe cabinet (placement at bottom right) with e price of S$1500 for 4ft spacing. (got to make use the price else is not worth for build in shoe cabinet)

Got to see how Miss C gg to proposed to us on e layout hehe

either shoe cabinet of a feature wall ba....my main aim is to block kitchen. its a personal preference really....usually i dun like to see kitchen when i enter house....

one pair of shoe typically is 35cm length by 25cm width by 20 cm height. (this should be enough for even high heels, unless...super big feet??)

so basically a normal full height cabinet (200cm height by 60cm width) should be able to keep about 20 shoes? more if you compress them properly....

the shoe cabinet i drew almost 2metres in length....probably 3 full height cabinet? that's 60 shoes minimum

whether living and dining area too small depends on how many people living in the house. i base on 4 haha

walking space as long as >80cm should be manageable ba i guess.

haha you're expert

I just based on design and layout to decide where to place the shoe cabinet~

Btw can i know what is thie call and where can i get this?

Congrats on your new home. You can also try checking with royal fanco, http://www.eguide.com.sg/Companies/Royal-Fanco.

Hi Sleek,

Thanks indeed a big move to get a house at this phase resale HDB prices all shoot up!

Ohh yeah i miss out Royal Fanco.. heard their products not too bad~

But basically, what is the criteria to choose water taps? basic? WC?

How do we justify the taps are good quality both comes with mirror finishing material...

Im afraid that taps/mixers/shower head in long run (say 3yrs) it start to oxidize...

Will you guys prefer to choose:

1) "Design" < Price < Brand or

2) "Brand" < Design < Price
