Hi there, sorry for late reply.

The co's ANZ Home Furniture, we bought at the Taman Bt Indah branch: 61 Jln Indah, 16/12.

You choose the required number of modules carrying the internal configurations that u want. There are about 6 choices of pretty decent laminates. & the internal covering seems better than white PVC but I'm not sure what it is.

If u tompang their mthly deliveries to SG - which was what we did - u don't hv to pay transport. Only GST & one time levy.

After moving in, we continued with the reno... such as installing decking...

...changing our main door...

... installing digital lock (by interlock from this forum)...

...flat roof jet wash...

..flat roof waterproofing...

Hi matrix, thanks for ur compliments!

Just showing some of the purchases we made...

Shelves from Grafunkt, bought at clearance price of $999. Love the matt black steel...plus the fact that its made for heavy loads.

Solid beech wood chair from Grafunkt, slightly less than $300... my study chair.

Sideboard from Koda, slightly less than $900.. made of solid oak.

Solid oak frame, chair from Koda... $365. This was sitting in a corner in the warehouse... the salesperson had to dig out the price. Like the slight retro styling & the smooth edges... & most of all the fact it's solid oak.

3 tier basket from Egg3...about $100+.

An original art piece from a local painter... we had it reframed for a modern look to suit the house & the abstract style contrasting with the traditional chinese medium.

We also just bought a solid oak dining table from Koda to replace the defective one currently being used. Looking forward to that!

Wow, been so long since I checked back this topic and had to scroll way down to find my thread... Haha.

I just wanted to do this for the timber deck uncle called Ah Zheng shifu. The deck is a fav of mine on wkends & I like how good it looks & how I didn't have to take extra care that my son doesn't scratch or damage the deck.

For anyone who's interested to do decking, do consider using him. His materials are taken from Morganwu's company, and he charges a margin for the installation services. He is very detailed & meticulous in the installation, which accounts for the good workmanship.

You can see more of my deck in his blog:

Do pm me if anyone has queries, as I will not be checking the thread often.

Landscaping was done a few weeks ago, here are some pics:
