    Hi Leon & Jenna,

    Thanks for sharing your reno experience, its been extremely helpful. Could i also please request for the quote breakdown? It would really help me understanding the pricing structure - i'm finding it tough to find a reasonably priced quote for my own reno.

    Much appreciated!

    Haha! Finally I'm back!! Apologies to all.. been so busy lately... got work, wedding prep, night classes, wedding photoshoot... wah lau 24 hours really not enough. In my absence I realised that this blog did indeed slowly degrade into a quotation/contact requesting page... hahaha...

    Anyway #CalvinTan is on long CNY holiday with his family so also not much updates... He is only back to work to Singapore today? But confirmed back to work on 17th Feb (Monday), so i reckon updates will be more fast and furious from then on!! :)

    Wanna talk about WALL PLANTERS for today... slowly cover the different unique aspects of our ideal design for our living area...

    Well, CFO and I came across this planter design within the living room in the #SquareRooms magazine recently and instantly we wanted something like this in our living area as well...

    gallery_54206_8_71673.jpg

    We had seen some #Pinterest photos of people growing herbs in their living rooms or kitchens and actually using them for their cooking ala Jamie Oliver style! We can explore herbs like thyme, rosemary, mint etc. etc... haha... since CFO is quite a cooker, it makes practical sense as well. One thing we need to take note though, we need to read up more on which herbs actually thrive better in Singapore's equatorial climate, and also their different characteristics. (e.g. some require strong direct sunlight, others not so, some require frequent watering etc.) So as I was telling CFO, we probably can think of relocating some pots onto our solid wood bay window in the future for the plants to sun-bathe before we leave house for work in the mornings... hehe :)

    Here are a couple of #Pinterest photos that we found, but not necessarily going to copy wholesale...

    gallery_54206_8_4038.png

    Anyway, of course we consulted Mr #CalvinTan... He proposed the following free-hand drawing that we quite like... Supposed to be made of light coloured nyatoh wood, with white pots... can imagine how the light-wood & white & green colours will mesh together and the feel it would create. *thumbs up!* Another sign that #CalvinTan is in sync with our design preferences. yay. hahaha... Anyway what is not shown in the free-hand drawing below is the fact that the structure is supposed to be leaning against the wall at a slight angle... and not mounted directly flat onto the wall itself..

    gallery_54206_8_15618.jpg

    Anyway we are still looking around for ideas.. Like I mentioned, we still can't find any similar designs to what #CalvinTan designed for us... Went to Ikea but they don't have anything along the idea of what we want... The closest they have is this rack for the balcony, which is actually quite ugly and bulky looking IMO:

    gallery_54206_8_40021.jpg

    Anyway gotta go, maybe will update more later tonight! see ya!

    For the sake of your readers who have subscribed to your blog, you may wish to set up a new email account, have it listed in your signature so that the interested forumers can request for the quotation this way, preventing the blog to be filled with such posts.

    Just my two cents. ;)

    Hi Leon & Jenna,

    I am starting to research on renovations on my BTO flat and I hope that I could learn some things from you :)

    Will you be able to share your budget of how much you are intending to spend on the whole reno + furniture + electrical appliances?

    What does your reno actually include? Does it include power points and lighting etc? Since it seems like you still have to pay additional to settle your own flooring.

    Apologies for the noob qns :)

    Hi Leon & Jenna

    Could u send me the quote? Thanks !

    Hi don't worry it's not a noob question.. Haha.. My house Reno is between 32 to 35k.. This includes a small sample size of electrical points.. Which I intend to add more later.. So cost will go up on the part of addition of electrical points..

    As for lighting and furniture, they are separate loose pieces that are not within my ID's quotation. The additional flooring is purely a luxury item that you can do away if you have alrdy opted in the hdb floor tiling.. :)

    Total Reno cost might come up to 50k..still just an estimate.. Because CFO and I have not really looked at taobao.com yet... I reckon that if we did, our loose item budgeting can come down.. Haha hope I helped..

    no offense to any readers in this thread. I believe leonjennawong should delete any forummers who are actually requesting for quotations in this topic, and to inform all to rather pm leonjennawong personally about the quotations so as it's fair to those who are actually following up with his reno.

    Thanks.
