Announcing the winner...

Went down to the Mega Courts at Tampines wanting to buy our sofa sets but one of which was out of stock. Got the L-shaped one (for cosy room) and will see how later on. Will either find another set we wanted or make do with this one and get something simpler for the cosy room. Took a shutter bus back to Tampines as we were worn out after walking around in Ikea then Courts.

Meantime, we have finally confirmed the ID to renovate our house last nite. We were trying very hard to get a conclusion as both quotes are similar in pricing and eventually chose the big firm (ID 2 as mentioned in previous blog), mainly for the guarantee in capentry works and reliability (alot of good feedbacks in the forum).

We called the ID and was lucky to be able to secure an appointment with her. I guess when she knew we were going to engage her, she would try her best to make time out for us. After some discussion and negotiation, settled the reno package at ard 23k with summarised of works as follows:

1. homogeneous tiles for all rooms
2. hacking of balcony and study area
3. construction of kitchen cabinets with work top, complete with dish drainer, door handles and set of cooker hob and hood
4. built-in L-shaped wardrobe for master bedroom
5. removal of current door for master bedroom bathroom and replace with glass door
6. removal of current vanity top in master bedroom bathroom and reconstruct wall hung suspended vanity cabinet, side shelf, built-in sink and whole piece mirror
7. casement windows for balcony and service balcony
8. window grills for whole house
9. false ceiling for L-box lights
10. other basic installations and works

Its finally a load off our minds and shall wait for the permit etc to be approved b4 work can be commenced sometime mid May and further design details to be finalised. We will be busy shopping for house stuff from now on...
