Hi retchlow,

I just stumbled upon this site as my family have just bought a 5 rm HDB resale flat. I'm so grateful for all the sharing here! Mine is an almost 30 yr old flat so would need major reno. Could you pm me the number for Mr K and Colin? thanks! Can't wait to see pics of your place after the reno!

painting for the whole house done! but will need some minor touch ups.

being the boring & conservative me, i chose white for all the walls & ceiling.

here are some photos to share:

Not boring and conservative at all! The black and white are complementing each other very well, and the print is lovely

nicely done. especially love the black pipes.

definitely gonna be an imspiration!

thank you! it's really an experiment when you engage a contractor. i'm glad it turned out fine.

ordered my smeg fridge today got it at about 25% lower so for those who want to get smeg stuff at more affordable prices, let me know.

oh & i got a surprise delivery from DHL today

hehe that's my boy sniffing out the suspect..now look what's in that box!

pretty looking boxes...

and after unwrapping...

tada! unfortunately they aren't matt. nonetheless, i still like them very much! top is is the toilet paper holder, middle & bottom pic is towel holder.

and i went to collect the kopitiam chairs from my brother today:

VERY heavy! i was half expecting that i can carry both chairs myself but i was wrong. anyway looking forward to the end product..stay tuned...heeee

Omg you bought THE fridge?! Which color?? The big one or the bar fridge?

What are you going to do to the 2 kopi tiam chairs? Camping here to see the end result of them + your completed home.

And show a pix of your furry friend - silky?

i ordered it through this website called "international checkout". i'm planning to buy more things from them too, as their shipping costs were more reasonable compared to amazon.
