Final Touches....

I am very very very pleased with the kitchen. Take a look here! Our contractor charged us a reasonable rate , yet provided good quality and workmanship!! Glad to find such a good lobang....



Our MBR's vanity cabinet was also done by the same carpenter. But, before that, take a look at our nice tap and basin:

Battle of the Triple Cs - Closet Design Vs Closetrobe Vs Contractor




whewww … we have finally made up our mind. Closetrobe won! Our contractor and Closetdesign lost the deal! For a few hundred dollars more than our contractor, we could be getting a better quality wardrobe with sliding doors and more customised accessories. By chosing Closetrobe, I do not need to waste time and energy in finding curtains, railings to cover a open-concept Walk-in wardrobe.

Why wife deserves a walk-in wardrobe?
1) Women are natural shopaholics. We need a BIG wardrobe to store all our buys!
2) Gives hubby the excuse not to help in ironing of clothes in the morning! Wife has all the time to iron at night and put them neatly in the walk in wardrobe.
3) Allows hubby to keep track of wife's purchases and not overspent their credit cards!
4) Allows hubby to keep track of their wife's sizes!
5) Gives hubby more excuses to buy their gadgets since wife has spend so much on a wardrobe
6) The wife will bother to dress up and look pretty next to hubby!

Looking for our own Phua Chu Kang

The arrival of the HDB flat came unexpectedly early (expected completion was May 2010). With budget constraints (gota save $ for our wedding as well at the end of the year), we decided on our objective of the renovation: Minimum Budget, Maximum Features!

We got quotes from a couple of companies… a few IDs and a few contractors. Finally settled based on price. We took the lowest quote we got and just gambled on him (Mr Soh from Eastrise) doing a decent job. Will not expect him to do miracles on our small budget, but just hoping he will do the simple things well. We can add our own touch later with our own creativity .
Got our first gift from my parents - $$$ to help us out the renovation : ) Thank you, Mum & Dad !
