Home Sweet Home

After two and a half months staying in 127, we finally have a place to call our own.... 11 Oct 2007 .... 257 here we come....

(Self assembled string curtains- curtains were bought for less than $100 from Toa Payoh; velcro bought from Spotlight... it took us one evening to sew the velcro onto the curtain and to assemble the curtain)


(Finally, we decided to change the dining chairs as the old ones we have fr our old home r giving way. Dining chairs bought fr V-hives)


(Carpeted Pink Staircase...sourced for $650)
Bedsheet fr BHG

Alumix Wardrobe is up!

Finally, the Alumix wardrobe for our MBR is up! The staff fr Alumix were very professional. They came on time and had to carry 3 panels of doors up 6 stories bec the panels were too big for the lift! Kudos to them. They took half an hr just to install the wardrobe.
The wardrobe completes the "look" for the MBR. I love the shell wardrobe simply bec it's so BIG (3.5M in width n 70 cm away from the wall) and we can put literally any barang barang into it and makes the room look neat and tidy. We moved our ugly 5 door drawer into the wardrobe.

Earth is the colour tone we chose for our room. Now, our MBR looks like a nice lazy corner to sleep. The colours are earthly and simply makes u sleepy the moment u step in.

Final Stage of Renovation

Our home is almost up. This weekend, we have Alumix here to install the MBR cabinet.
Today, they installed the plasterboard frame. The cabinet will be 3.5m wide and ceiling height. It's gonna be a shell. In other words, we r just building the frame and inside, it shall be free style. We'll put a movable hanging rack, one aluminium shelve which we couldnt fit into the store after the renovation. It will function as a cabinet cum store room cos we are short of storage space for big bulky items. On Thurs, they will come to coat the frame with paint. Next Sat, the cabinet should be up.

Also on the same day, we got Newcoat to come to recoat our MBR toilet bathtub. Turned from blue to white to blend in with the sink and toilet bowl. They will come again another day to remove the newspapers.

Later in the afternoon, PowerGas guy came to fix the gas pipe to the cooker... yeah! Finally we can cook! It has been months since I last cooked a decent meal for the family.

Final touch up scheduled for next week -
- Curtain installation on Thurs
- Alumix door to be up on Sat
- Last of the last : carpet installation ... havent decided when to do that yet

After many months of waiting, it will not be too long before we can shift in. We have a few dates in mind... prob sometime next week :)

(Bathtub being repainted by Newcoat for $270... not a bad reno idea ...saves us the cost of hacking and now, it looks as good as new)
