Hi everyone,

I have been following Renotalk for some time and now being eligible to purchase a flat of my own, the time has come for me to make some contributions.

After viewing more than 10 units, I finally found the place I would call home at Yishun. Although the COV was quite high for a 3 roomer, the location is excellent and the layout, clean and simple.

My floor plan:

Being a simple guy, here begins my simple Renovation Journey. More to come...

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Its been a busy week, but here are some updates.

I had been looking for a contractor for a while and was lucky to have found an experienced designer/renovator who could help me transform this home to something special.

Current condition:

(Living room)

(Master Bedroom) - The furniture were removed soon after

(Common Room)

(Kitchen)

So far, the demo has been quite smooth. I was quite impressed by the speed it was carried out.

Day 1:

(Master Bedroom) - demoed the toilet

(Kitchen) - demoed the kitchen cabinet

(Kitchen Toilet) - demoed

Day 2:

(Master Bedroom) - demoed the wall to shift the door entrance

(Kitchen Toilet) - demoed

I didn't managed to take any photos on Day 3 to 5, but they did the screeding, bricking of the Master Toilet wall and trunking for the Air-conditioner.

Day 6:

(Master Bedroom) - plastered the walls

(Master Toilet) - tiling

(Kitchen Toilet) - tiling

Day 7:

(Master Bedroom) - Plastering

(Master Toilet) - Plastering and finishing touches on tiling

(Kitchen) - Plastering

(Kitchen Toilet) - Plastering and finishing touches on tiling

Wow, very good progress wor!

I like the way u moved the doorway for the MBR toilet to create a shower area, which would not be possible otherwise.

My layout very similar to yours. Should've thought of that!!

Yup, its quite an awesome experience.

My designer was able to give me some thoughtful advice.

More to come!

Congrats! I have just joined the 3roomer club too! My layout is pretty similar to yous except that the storeroom is sandwiched between kitchen and living rm instead of between the two bedrooms. Still waiting for 1st appt... Really goof idea to shift MBR toilet door. Not only create space for shower area but also create depth for the adjacent wall...how ingenious!

Yo MsJ9, congrats & welcome to the club! Then ur layout closer to mine.. I hacked the original storerm & re-erected it into the originally relatively big kitchen (still sandwiched between the living hall & kitchen though) to create a more spacious living hall & space for a dining area Looking forward to see ur t-blog in due course! [PS. Me lazy, no hv any t-blog.. ]

By the way, I took a 2nd look at my MBR toilet again.. even if I shifted the doorway like warrensrv to create a screened shower area, the space left does not seem to be able to accommodate the toilet bowl plus a wash basin c/w vanity top/cabinet.. oso dun like the idea of the toilet bowl facing the doorway too.. So am eager to see how Warren's come out to be.. haha!
