Our Very 1St Home (N & S) And Our 2 Princes & Princess

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Been reading other forumers reno t-blog and tempt me to start a mini blog of my new house now. I am newbie to the blog so hope that I don't bore any one of you.

After trying for a few times balloting and BTO exercises, finally in year 2008 - we are successfully in the queue to choose our dream home. After a long wait for more than 3 years - at last we have collected our keys on 27 Sep 2011. We are so excited that we actually went down to our new home on the very day to open the door and do the simple opening ceremony praying. Follows is the floor plan of my new house.

After we have collected the keys, we have started to source for ID/contractor to reno for our new house. I don't have any ideas on the renovation and have no ideas on the theme to use. Our concern just need a simple and cosy house reno that also suitable for my 3 kids. :thumbs up:

I have came across a few contacts and decided to check whether they are HDB registered contractor before shortlisted my choice.

After go through a list of contractors pamphlets and done checking at the HDB web and discussion with hubby, we have shortlisted the following ID/Contractors for quotation:

1) Orient Reno

2) Designzone

3) ArchWave Interior Design

4) ID Inspiration aka Chng Poh Guan

The process of sourcing the ID is really tedious and tiring but this is also a learning experience for me.

After much consideration and discussion with hubby, our final decision - we have chosen ID Inspiration aka Chng Poh Guan.

I have attached a video of my new house - pleasant viewing.

Will upload more photos soon.

Hi Bro, thanks for the greeting. I will try to bring my drawings to office and scan (not 3D as my contractor always said he is not designer - can't draw 3D drawing - he only do up a simple one for our viewing). Anyway till date - We are still happy with the work being done now waiting for the capentry to finish to see the capenter quality work (so far I do like the capenter work as per I see from the show house in another unit (5 rooms) at my opp block).

I will try to uploads more pics soon..(still trying to figure out how to uploads pics/videos..hehe :rolleyes:
