5I resale: Modern Mix with a baby

Recommended Posts

PM'ed you, Satiny.

PROCESS UPDATE 22 SEPT 18

Almost everything is done except for bathroom accessories that we didn't manage to ship in on time. We are also looking for a new lock for the main door before they can repaint it.

Here is our living room with TV console and feature wall installed (not the latest picture as hole for TV has been made since):

Kitchen looks great, we didn't expect our kitchen island to be so big. I was a little disappointed by the white marble laminate wall at sink side. There seems to be quite some puckering that the glossy surface showed in daylight. I didn't like how the reflections were not straight but wavy. The laminate is from Lamitak and apparently all glossy laminates will not be smooth when applied onto large surfaces. :( Right now we are looking to custom make a window paned mirror to hang on the marble wall to block out the visible puckering areas.

ID was suggesting we use the same dark stone laminate next to it for the whole wall which will indeed make the space more sophisticated but we want to see if white marble is still the look we are after... i also quite like how the white marble matches the dome light we brought in from our current home. It is a rather expensice replica light... ID also told us it is too late for us to do tiling...

And here is the inside of the master bathroom (big mirror installed with side shelves for daily used items):

Our new dining light was also fitted in today. So happy with how it looks! Much more modern. Now to figure out what art to hang... I was hoping to copy some Wayne Thiebaud paintings of cakes and food... if not perhaps a framed large mirror to pull in some of the marble elements from the kitchen.

Very impressive renovation that you have! Your dining room light is unique!

In your common bathroom, is there any exhaust fan? Are you just relying on the ventilation grille? Do you plan to keep the common bathroom door opened all the time?

One suggestion for you to consider is to install two dustbins under the kitchen sink. One for normal trash and the other one for recyclable trash like the ones in my kitchen.

That's quite an odd floorplan. Welcome to Bukit Panjang! I'm across the road at Jelapang (blk 53X) also with a 5 room resale but yet to commence renovation. Also upgrading from a 3 room BTO so i totally feel you! Seems that the progress is quite fast. Excited to see how it turns out :)
