70% completed

Week 4 and the place is 70% completed for a warm , minimalist interior design. It's starting to take shape and the ID & contractor have been trying their best to meet the dateline. Overall, very satisfy with the ID, will recommend to friends who are looking for an ID.

The shoe cabinet behind the door.

The dining area.

I love this light the minute I step into my ID office. Yes, I make my ID sell this light in his office to me. wahhahah. He has three, its okay to give me one of it.

The only complain I have now is the kitchen cabinet. The dish drainer is way too low!!! It is 10" more than its suppose to be. What am I suppose to put there once the table top is up, not even a toaster fit under it. We finally manage to get the ID to alter it, but I guess it will take a bit more time as they need to dismantle everything and send back to the workshop. Hope they can rush back in time.

We add a additional pull-out table top to give us more cooking space.

They use a hinge door to solve the corner door problem. But I have some issue with this area, what can I store there? It's going to be the damp place. *think*

The common toilet

The Master bedroom toilet.

The wardrobe from Closet design. Looking good.

My hidden headboard drawers to minimize the space to have side tables. But luck we didn't construct the side tables, there is hardly any walking space once the bed frame seats in.

The vanity in the bedroom.

We modify the design after seeing SJ's friend having the same vanity design. We add in storage space behind the mirror so that we can store our toothbrushes, etc.

The divider. I think a make a good decision to change from a solid wall to this divider.

The tv console feature wall at night. The laminate looks "cheap" in this lighting.

The tv console in daylight.

The study room and its grey walls make it a cozy place to work and relax.

Trial makeup for the wedding


Day 2 of week 4 - Painting

Day 2 of week 4 and they have start painting the base colour of the house.


A&D sure enforce everyone not to dirty the house.

Warm and day light mixture. Not too sure is it correct. But I think it will give us a flexibility to change the mood for the living room from bright to a warm and cozy feeling if we want to.


My favourite light, now currently wrap in paper.


The base colour - lily white?

Day 1 of week 4

The start of week 4 and the ID had did some progress. The classic doors for all room are up and most of the lighting too. For the first time, the floors are all lifted off from the cupboard that has been protecting them from the plastering.




SJ felt that the living room fan & light is abit cheapo looking and very dim. The spot light looks above the door looks like a security camera...

Week 3 of renovation

Week 3 and the progress is abit slow because they have to wait for the plastering to settle. The whole house is plasted and some of the electricity wiring are up.



The new gate is up

The lights are up in the spare room & study room.

I realize that this is a very common light. My friend, Gabriel has it in his home too!!
We get the ID to conceal the ugly aircon area in the MB room.
