****!!! looks like my hopes of doing a kitchen, lights, wardrodes and a raise platform for 50k is noy possible.

50k can la! Unless u renovating a big house then maybe not. Urs how many rooms?

5 rooms. but i need maybe 6 panels for 3 rooms. the other 2 rooms, 2 panels can liao. raise platform about 500sf. its a small detach. bought cheap but still exhuast our $$$ greatly after completion.

when we bought this house we know its tight! but my dad insisted on buying and force me to share.

Its so nice to stay with ur family. I wished i could!

I used to dream of buying a huge piece of land and build a huge house for all my family members.

But dream is dream la. lol.

That said, i think 50k is maybe really not enough.

I heard landed property is abit more unpredictable than hdb with hidden issues.

Like termites!

But dun be discouraged!

Maybe u can email my ID New and see if she can help u work around the budget.

Good luck!

I remember last week standing at my MBR window..i asked my hubby what is the red thing on the wall at that unit (being short sighted - can't see it clearly)..hubby said don't know..look like sofa or wall feature...I told my hubby..it looks like those sofa fix to the wall used for dinning place..so I am consider right..hehe..I love your reno..very nice and vintage feeling...(don't code me as peeping tom..ok..hehe - just that feel good watching one by one, more and more units moving in with lights on - happy to see that).

Love your kitchen concept too..but I can't have it..as hubby will be the 1st one to reject..even he don't cook..and with my 3 kids..all these reno ideas..is out out out for me liao..so i can only dream or view others .

Living area still awaiting for sofa and dining table.

Brick wall hand-painted by ID herself. She used to teach Art we were told.

And I have gotten my wonderful dear ah ma to help sew our whole house curtains!

Hi Neighbour! Wow I must start to find your unit also lol.

Here is the Reds Room which is awaiting the Foosball table.

We have moved in! Unpacking is tired like madness.. Just some messy pics.

My small tv console with one-way mirror. Didnt know such things exist till our ID told us. lol.

The reason for it is to be able to press the remote to control the set top box without having to flip open the door.

& to keep the wires away from sight.

Sofa from FullHouse. Makes my Living room so small now

Dining table from a shop at Park Mall but they closed down after. ha!

Wife's earrings.

She kept saying: Not enough space. Not enough space.

Sometimes I wonder why HDB doesnt just include this small decking for us.

Cant put chairs or tables.

Guess its a good detention area for my kids next time. LOL.

Hey, ask her to upload her portfolio to Qeeple so we can beow leh.

Adidaem, these are the pics of the reno that New had done for my friend.

I got him to email them to me.

Happy beowing!

Thanks. Dunno why but the handles really caught my eye... Are they a fav of your friend? Cos I'm worried about banging into handles, so I prefer not to have any.

Better not put your kids at the deck for detention lar. Not safe.

The street lamp caught my attention... Nicely done

Hi Neighbour! Wow I must start to find your unit also lol.

Go to your balconcy and start to look up up ok..maybe you can find my unit..lolz

Who knows..one of these days you will c someone is waving to you at their MBR..hehehe
