Looking for good contractors? Click here for your request
Angel81 etc,

I find that it might save you an appointment if you make your first meeting with your contractor/ID at your new place, so that you can straightaway show them what you want. Otherwise if first meeting meet them at office, still have to go your place see, then meet then again get quotation etc etc...like that each contractor/ID meet min 3 times can die...

Still waiting to finalise quotes...all in 50+k range cos I taking down everything...

Haha, well wat u sae is true. But I'm doing some walk-ins as well, so most prob will be meeting some a few times. Was actually tinking of just sending my floor plan and list of things to do via email to the contractors. With the estimated quotation, will be able to know who's quote is way over the others and can just remove them from the list.

Then after, the shortlisted ones to meet at the new place. Now wondering when's a good time to bring them to new place loh. Before 2nd appt, or after. Hehehe.. see how bah :P

It has been 2 months since I moved into my EM but I've been so lazy to take photos to share with you all.

LL & I just bought a Christmas tree to decorate our place. The crispy fresh scent of the tree & the warm lightings in the house triggered off the mood to start taking some photos to share with you all. I've included the photos of how each area had looked like when we first took over the place for comparison.

Thanks, it's the warm lights & plants that created that cozy feel. Here're 2 more pictures:

TemperedGlassDoor.png

Originally didn't plan to have any door here but when it rains heavily with strong wind, rain water can splash into the dining area. Also, we forgot we have aircon in the dining area & need to have a door to close up the dining area. Hence we fixed a tempered glass door, even though we fear to have people walking right into it. We had 1 casualty so far (a friend of ours). Sticking a soft toy on the glass door is our quick fix solution for now.

Mirrorcumfishingrodcabinet.png

Originally wanted it as a mirror cum shoe rack (specifically for our boots) but the wall recess is too shallow. Hence we converted it into a fishing rod storage.

wah..u give me inspiration on how to decor my recess area...:)

wonder how ur 2nd floor look like.

We've yet to figure out the roofing solution for this recess area (entrance balcony). It can get very wet when it rains with strong wind. Didn't want to a roof that blocks the skylight in that area permanently. But the shoe cabinets & mirror cum fishing rod cabinet need be to sheltered from the rain.

Haven't taken 2nd floor pictures, lazy lah! Will try to do so soon.

Very nice! Hehehe... u got lots of fishing rods. hehehe..

Can't really picture how ur skylight looks like. Kind of looks like there's a roof at ur recess balcony already. :) But if possible, how about a retractable awning? Can extend when u need it, and retract when u wan the sun. Think the solid red drop awning colour looks very nice. http://sunshade.sg/awning_drop.php
