5Rm Renovation In The East

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Have been browsing the forum for valuable ideas, advise and have also got some ID contacts from bros and sis here. Thank you all.

This will be my 4th home that I am shifting to but I will be using ID for the 1st time for the reno, previously only contractors.

As usual, have been meeting up some ID for discussion and getting quotation for the past 2-3 months.

I have collected my keys just before CNY and have confirmed the ID since then, hacking will start next week.

This is my floor plan,

The previous renovation was done many years ago, so everything have to go.

This unit was quite dark when we view, the photo below is the condition when we view.

Hopefully after renovating and with white paint, it is brighter.

From the picture, yeah the overall feel is quite dark..

I wonder those kitchen layout or design is it quite popular back then.

Many houses I see they have similar kitchen design and arch for the kitchen entrance hmm....

And this is what I thinking of doing when I got the floor plan.

Will be relocating the store so that all bdrm doors opening are beside one another.

Will hack and re-construct wall btw master and bdrm 2 for master wiw, balcony will be level to form part of living,

and have open concept kitchen.

I think so, when i was young, my parent house back then was having this design too. :D

just be careful where you put your dining table. Normally there's a beam between the kitchen and living room. So u may want to avoid putting your dining table under a beam.

Thanks for the advise SzeHui. This must be feng shui reason?

But my plan is to have the island top connected to dining,

so definitely it will be under the beam. :o
