Hi Retchlow,

Thanks. :good:

Wow wow wow and CONGRATS! You are actually moving in tomorrow!

Really like your toilet door and kitchen door - we have no space for swing doors at all :(

For your toilet, is the black rail from Ikea? We have shortlisted that too :)

my reno journey has almost come to end. almost because there are quite afew touchups/rectifications to be done & hope they can be completed soon.

well, i've come a really long way to make this house happen.

i'm a divorcee, who went thru 8 months of divorce proceeding. it hasn't been a smooth journey for me. there had been loads of obstacles, in terms of division of finances, financial management for the house (housing loan), buying & selling of the house, shifting to parents' place temporarily. these went on for a year. it took a toll on me but when i finally got my keys to the house, i thought i could heave a sigh of relief. but soon i realised it was yet another beginning. from applying for reno loan, to finding a contractor/ID, to confirming one, and doing lots of homework/research to put this house together, shuttling between work, shopping places, new house & parents' place for the past 5 months. aww man! 24 hours a day just wasn't enough.

as engaging a contractor was a first for me, it was, yes, a **** of an experience. no, i'm not saying my contractor is not good but no one is perfect, and no one can be perfect. getting a contractor 'forces' me to be more hands on with my own reno, seeing that works are carried out smoothly, ensuring rectifications are made, seeing the behind the scenes, having real life experience with various sub-contractors & plenty of decisions need to be made.

there were mistakes (quite a number) made along the way, some rectified, some cannot (but not life threatening lar :bleah: )

but yes, indeed, i really learnt ALOT.

and if i ever had to move again (which i wished never) & if you were to ask me if i will still engage a contractor, i probably would. and if given a choice whether to engage the same contractor, yes i may, provided i still have a flexible work schedule :)

Haha There are times that Im on site with my toddler in tow! Rectifications aside, nothing beats going back to your own home!

Im looking forward to mine soon!

Time flies when you doing reno. I've been putting off my reno due to various reasons, but once it started it was like a train. And I agree about the part about plenty of decisions to be made, and a lot of them on the spot using pure imagination.

I remember asking me about how the tiling edges should be done. "45 degrees" or "rounded"? I was like, "huh? whats that?".

Your flat turned out beautifully too. :)

*pat pat* I'm sure this is a satisfying journey for you, to finally see your beautiful home come together!

If it is not too troublesome, can help me find out that yellow laminate code number, or at least the brand? Thanks in advance!
