Hi greenbunny. 

Wow... so nice . 

By the way , you change your swing door to sliding door ? 

So after key collection then apply for the cement screeding from hdb ?

My reno cost $16K.
Yes I will share more pictures soon.
Oh waving hello to my fellow BB resident! Which precinct?

$16k for so much carpentry + bathroom changes is very cheap! :good:

Deposit 20%
30% Upon Starting
45% Upon Confirmation of cabinet
5% Upon Handling Over

At first i thought that 20% deposit is kind of too much but luckily my ID-contractor didn't run away till the end :P

20% deposit is too much liao!

Yes I also thought that I was just lucky to come across my ID-contractor because I managed to convince him to throw in some freebies such as shelves for kitchen :P What's more is that they are building their company brand so it could be the reason why they gave me such a low quotation.

Thank you for your kind words about my house. I just want a cosy home that make me want to stay at home!

*whispering* I used wallpaper to cover main door haha.. mainly to match my theme.. Not easy to DIY like that.

Oh i installed curtain between living room and foyer to contain air (from either ceiling fan or air-conditioner) inside living room. Secondly, it acts as "kitchen door" while cooking.. 3rd reason is for privacy when i open main door during daytime for ventilation. Still testing it to see if it, esp 2nd reason, works or not. At first, I asked for sliding partially-frosted glass door enclosed inside storage cabinet at that spot but I dropped it since it costs about $4K. I may install just sliding door ($1.6K) in future if necessary.

Hi Francis 

Care to share the cost for the reno ?

And how much is the cost for the flooring? I like tile flooring 

By the way yours is type 2 ?

Thank you 

Reno cost is around $21K.

Yes, type 2.

And the flooring is part of the OCS scheme when I purchase the flat.

Hi greenbunny, thanks for sharing your lovely and cosy home!  Very nice! :wub:

But I wonder where do you store your "extra" stuff since there are only kitchen cabinets and wardrobe.:blink:

The bedroom has a L-shaped wardrobe. Can I know how many ft is it?  Has the right angle been "sacrifice" to a smaller space since it is an L-shaped?

Is this the original TV area? 

I thought the TV area is usually at the long side of the wall.  But this is a nice fit if you have reverse with the original plan.

Thank you

Ya, now i dun feel like going out at all... lol!

MsBunny use wall paper for her door too. I initially wanted to do that and my ID has agreed to help me to do it but at the end i didnt find a wall paper i like. did you wrap it white from the exterior too?

I also thought about putting something at the door to block views too. Can consider your way. :good:

Yes I opted out of Optional Component Scheme so I did my own flooring - correct, it is vinyl. Vinyl flooring is part of my ID-contractor quotation. Vinyl flooring including skirting costs me $1900. The kitchen costs are as below:-

-To supply and install Laminated kitchen cabinet with abs trimming 15ft $ 1,980.00
-To supply and install laminated full ht cabinet cover pipe and dish rack 3ft $ 330.00
-To supply and install kompac plus tabletop single profile 15ft $ 1,425.00

 

Greenbunny, your kitchen (beside the flooring) cost less than 4k?  It is beautiful & very neat.

Since I opted out of OCS, there was no swing door at all. So I just installed sliding door instead (after removing door frame).

Yes after key collection at HDB Hub, I went directly to Bukit Batok HDB Branch (specifically your precinct's nearest HDB Branch) to apply for cement screeding. You have to provide your lock number (preferably - can be used for renovation guys) or lock key when filling the form out. They won't accept original house keys.

haha luckily i don't have toooooooooooooooooooooooo mannnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy things with me.. Maybe I am trying to be minimalist so I discarded unnecessary things though a bit painful to part with before moving into my new house! Actually I put other stuff into household shelter, bed headboard storage and coffee/console table. Now I still want to continue discarding unnecessary things :P

According to my quotation, my L-shaped wardrobe is 9ft. Not sure what you mean by the right angle but i assume that you are referring to the left side of my bed? Yes smaller space but no issue. I can push bed all the way towards the window but i chose not so that both sides can have bedside tables.

Thank you =) Oh i forgot to add.. $380 for L-shape cabinet base and $480 for tempered glass backing. So it totals up to almost $5K. I included glass backing at the last minute just for easy cleaning after cooking.
