as budget is very tight, initially wanted to have wall coverings for living/dining area,

Instead we choose Nippon paint clamshell color instead.

was quoted $1.6K for the wall coverings with installations for living/dining area (not bad).

maybe KIV

Wow everything so fast for you! Good luck and waiting to see how it turns out in the end!

Thanks ricepapergirl.

Though it's fast as a customer we still have to QC their work

and they have managed their time wisely. You renovating your house anytime soon?

From my experience, when renovating resale flat, there's always hiccups after one another.

This is the old Piping. As much I want to salvage, save some $$$ and wait for Hdb Home Improvement Programme,

The plumber highlighted that it's leaking and definitely have to change.

What to do... change lor...

Quoted $850 for changing all Piping : Kitchen and both Toilet.

After changing to new pipe. Is it worth it?

Definitely.

Hi dien,

Not quite yet, prob only get our keys in end March! But mine is a resale as well, so I am learning things from your reno as well! We are thinking of changing pipes as well, cos ours is a 30-yr-old unit.

Pretty sad to say goodbye to old house.

It's been a good 7yrs.

when you have the means, anything is possible to what concept we want.

Since I do have a budget, I just want to share my moodboard

perhaps with the correct merchandise / furniture

pretty much the same if I were to achieve as my moodboard.
