Freakerz 5 Report post Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Overall feel the wifey and me trying to achieve ;1) Easy to maintain (no brick walls and false ceiling )2) The feel and look that doesn't go out like a fad in 3-5years time3) To portray the character of the home owner (laidback,colourful persona)4) Colours.The contrasting effects of different elements and accessories in different part of the home.In the end accesories make or break the home styling. As i go along,hopefully the end product and design depict what we had in mindID Selection process;NILAs i had underwent my parents BTO reno last year,i was kinda grateful i learn along the way through a actual process.The workmanship,follow up,assistance was quite good by the ID .No headache and time wasting on finding ID ,price wise not cheap not expensive average and the quality and workmanship of the carpentry is good .Time was diverted and spent on researching and shopping online on Amazon and Taobao.

Freakerz 5 Report post Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Pre Renovaton Works Cement screeding provided by HDB contractor after succesful appeal.HDB will only provide up to 40mm,if theres a need to top up to desired height due to vinyl or laminates laying,need to fork out extra.Cost saving measure though than to pay 1.5-2k on cement screeding before June. Lucky me my HDB appointed contractor did a good job,no bumpy or sandy spot detected .

Freakerz 5 Report post Posted July 6, 2015 Bathroom revampsAs usual the standard BTO bathroom layout is really CMI.Plus the tiles was ok but due to design flow decided to overlay both bathrooms.I have seen plenty of nice houses with nice theme but owner scrimp and save on the bathrooms.In the end design theme doesnt flow nicely. Savings from other areas are channel through the making of the bathrooms. Stay tune. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also looking at scandi/industrial theme. did you hire a contractor or ID?Thanks Toastbox .I hired an ID .Scandi + industrial is the way to go to soften the coldness of industrial with the soft cozy feel of scandi.
