Hi illk, glad to learn that u hv solved your kitchen layout prob! again demonstrating ur thoughts put to the reno

Am sure the reno will turn out nice nice! Particularly, can't wait to see ur dining sette & table!

Very nice thread! Is this at bro crescent?

3D makes everything look good

My ID pointed out that this is unlikely to be feasible for our flat:

The reason being the space is too narrow for any bi-fold doors. Sliding doors also not an option as they are 1) expensive and 2) require more space for their tracks.

[We are getting bi-fold doors mainly because they come included in my ID's Bathroom Package]

I was a little sad, because I wanted the shower door to face the vanity so that we will get a usable space on the wall next to the shower to maybe place a kitchen trolley. Thus, I told my ID to place the door facing the kitchen, same as the toilet door.

So here are the first batch of 3D renders my ID sent to me:

Living Room:

- told ID to omit feature wall - we felt that having a feature wall for our TV is pointless mainly because we have a small TV (32") and the cost involved can be better spent elsewhere

- we are still on the fence about having a coffee table - tripping hazard!

- the door is way too nice, cause its a brand new laminate door! We're probably gonna just paint over the existing door (sigh, we are cheapos), but the dark brown colour is nice

Dining:

- was quoted $400 plus for the mirror, so we decided we can live without it (or that we will buy some cheap mirror from IKEA to put up later)

- we asked for the settee (that's what the ID calls the booth, I learnt a new word from her!) to have cushions cause its way more comfy to sit on, even though it was more expensive!

- the settee comes with storage! yippee

Kitchen:

- the 3D artist left out my build-in oven and also the top shelf above the fridge, but overall I was quite happy with how the kitchen looked!

Hi ilkl,

if you are looking for toilet layout with a small space, consider merging the shower area and sink area.

See how we did it at our renov blog

Beo Crescent at Tiong Bahru...has units that have same layout

Wah... It's been 3 years since I last updated this thread....

Pai Seh, Pai Seh.

During the reno, I grew quite frustrated with my ID (who later quit being an ID less than a year after our reno was completed to become an insurance agent -_-" enough said) so I decided to stop this thread while I endured my frustrations and focused on moving into the house and be happy.

Life is funny indeed. Less than a year after moving in with my sis, I met my future husband and now we are going to renovate OUR house. So I revived my account and started doing research 2.0. Maybe I will start a new thread.... Whereas for this thread, I see if I'm hardworking enough to update with finished photos so it's not dangling halfway...

P/S: Don't ask me to recommend my ID, ok?
