3 Room Resale

Recommended Posts

I am planning to buy the curtains from IKEA. Ikea has those curtains which can block out the sunlight but its a bit expensive though... I think its about $100/set. But overall, I still think Ikea curtains are much cheaper than custom-made ones! :)

the most expensive I saw was $129/set.

Trust me $129 is not that expensive from some I have check. Hahaha ~

Initially I also want to buy from IKEA.... after seeing their curtains, it's really cheap. But after you add in the pole and some screws, actually not that cheap. But of course definitely cheaper than custom made lar....

But IKEA I find it quite troublesome, must DIY. If not, sent their man down, $50 transport, drill one hole $5. This is how they charge. For people very good in DIY of course no problem.

I 'pressured' my contractor to drill the curtain poles for me. haha...and I actually made it back with curtain poles in a taxi! Had to 'endure' black faced taxi uncle lah. The longer pole went from driver seat in front and end at the backseat. haha...

Taxi cost me about $25, so still save on transport. :P

If that is the case I will really need to rethink on getting Ikea curtains (I am confirmed not a DIY person or should I say that my DIY skills CMI totally )

Try mans-talk with contractor /ID lah...dun need sa jiao de lah.

Haha... I'm assuming your contractor / ID is a guy. :P

Me as a girl dunno how to sa-jiao either.

I just matter of factly asked my contractor - so can you help me install curtain rods / kitchen stuff that needs to be fixed to the wall? After he said yes, small matter not a problem, I pester him to tell me which team is doing so I can go point out what to go where... :P

Hi everyone, been reading this forum since I started sourcing for my house.

Thought it will be great to start a blog to share my renovation journey for my first house.

After going through various viewing, I settle for a flat at Ang Mo Kio Blk 118 - Corridor Unit (*Only look around AMK as my mum stay there)

Just settled my 2nd OTP thus mostly getting the house in End March or April, got to admit that buying through single's scheme is really very taxing on the wallet.

Below is my Floor Plan

I have not really decide how to renovate my house so I really hope some experienced people can give some advise to me :

From house renovation,ID or contractors, brands of electrical stuff or any other small minor things which I should take note ^^

(Thanks in advance)

Ah Songz, I nearly stay near you sia. But decide to skip AMK as not much corner units to choose and the corridor side by side very near to neighbor.
