updates..

it has been some time since my last post.. initially when i set up this blog, i hope my close ones reads.. but now, i blog about it so that at least i have a diary?? i used to write one.. but that was years ago.. now am too lazy to do it..

have been busy with the reno plans.. finalising the quotes and design.. am glad that with the little budget we have, we were able to have most of the items we want.. my big masterbedroom, big wardrobe with sliding doors, dear dear bar top, my kitchen with a built in oven (thanks to my aunt & grandma) where i can make the finest and yummiest food! that is the most important part of my reno.. thanks to my aunt who became our designer for our cosy home.. giving us advice on the color theme and the things to avoid and buy..

went to ifc today.. dear dear commented that he did not like to go window shopping for furniture and come back empty handed.. so, we got ourselves a tv console and my fave. coffee table..

renotalk.com has been the regular website that i frequent now.. everytime i get my hands on the pc, all i go to is that website to check out the pictures of fellow people renovating their homes, sharing their views on renovation.. giving advice on the things to buy and not to buy etc etc.. i have signed up as a member but i am unable to start my own renoblog or even post comments.. it has been so happening.. those who stay nearby visit each other.. fellow renotalk bloggers.. i also want to be part of it.. sadly, do not know how and why i am unable to do that..

so, after having seen so many reno work and furnishings posted by fellow bloggers, i have thus decided what kind of style and what type of furniture i like.. but also it comes with a compromise between dear dear and my likings.. but so far been so good.. :) im glad that both of us do not like too many mirrors in the house, because we are not used to seeing ourselves everywhere?? haha.. though is the "in" thing..

have also decided on the color scheme.. await my blog for more photos of our lovely house.. i cant wait for the renovations to complete.. my lovely house..

the other day my colleague asked me what type of hdb i bought and what floor.. i said executive but due to budget constraint, i got level 7 because the higher the level, it increases by $2k.. he laughed! he said next time, say 7 is your favourite no. not budget constraint.. haha.. i never forget that

sharing with you our great buys today: making us happy people.. wanted to buy toilet accessories today.. thank God i called the contractor and he said that he has to give us the measurements to buy because is not exchangable.. and through the phonecall, i realised i do not need to buy dish rack..

i just love the glassy feel.. will buy a carpet or a rug to put it underneath..
though have to maintain the carpet/ rug but this is the only "housework" that i do not mind because i just love it.. do i need other reasons? hee..

i just love it! sleek and simple!
then we head off to dome for chilling session to reward ourselves for the great buys, to relax over the weekend..
ciao!
