hello~

been a silent reader and mintyvintage t-Blog really inspired me! Therefore I will be getting most of the ideas from her t-Blog for my 4 room DBSS flat reno. However, my reno will be relatively restricted due to budget constraints. Hope everything turns out well! Keeping my fingers cross xP

Here is my layout.

Shoe Cabinet frame is up! Looking good! Hope my laminates matches! pray hard.

However the track light alignment seems way off and its too near the shoe cabinet. Will need to get them to shift the track lights! Tracking will then be seen I think, should i paint it black? or just leave it as white? hmmm

good progress~~looks like you are on industrial concept?

I also just selected my laminates for the carpentry works on Monday... different from the 3d drawing so not so sure if they will compliment each other. Have to wait a few weeks to see the results... ... gd luck !

Yes DaddyWinter going for industrial theme as well. Haha thats why i dont have any 3D drawing cause it will be different from the actual any way. hee hee. Good Luck to yours as well!

Hi colourmerainbow, which ID are you using for your reno? I'm waiting for the keys to my DBSS flat too and currently looking for IDs/contractors to spam to get quotations :). Thanks in advance!
