Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Having greatly benefited from reading from all your blogs, have decided to share our renovation experience as well.

Collected our keys in end May'2014, and renovation started since 23Jun after spending 2 weeks with BSC for the rectification works.

Here's our floor-plan to our 5RM BTO unit.

Like most couples, we did our fair share of IDs hunting 6 months prior to key collection. Our inspiration comes from the below color-scheme.

Errr... how is this a loft?

Hi binka, just like the sound of the title.

No clear theme to begin with, we're just putting the looks we like in different areas of our home. Our main consideration was that it must be easy to clean which explains the amount of cabinets we have to reduce dust collection (aka exposed horizontal surfaces) & hide away clutter when needed :D

Hi movie247, nice colour scheme you got there! My wife dislikes dust as well. Haha..I love your ideas of hidden cabinet as well.

Are the cabinet doors single doors?or foldable 2 piece doors?

Are the black items lights in front of your storage unit outside of kitchen??
