Hi Rachel,
Congrats to the completion of your reno! Wow.. your hse is really beautiful. But I do see the same similar bamboo concept as ours too except that yours has fewer poles
Ah keong was mentioning to us that he did one really nice hse in Punggol and he was engaging some pros to take pictures, has to be your hse already lah... show us your bedroom pics once ready! But noticed that you din have any sound system? Is yours a five rm or exec?

Congrats Rachel, finally all your worries gone
Nice house. The furniture also very nice
btw the small TV really looks too "cute" in the living room liao ... heee
and the chinese writing on the living room wall... is it written on the wall or what? someone wrote it on the wall for you? I especially like the small pieces of "display furniture" you have got, eg the small window at the dining room.

Hello,
My place is at Hougang st 22.Which contractor did you engaged?
Rockbaby,
My worries not all gone yet cos there are still minor touch ups to be done and am still waiting for patrick to see when he will be free cos he is quite busy recently.. But I am moving in le. The small TV is a temporary solution haha.. Stolen from old place. The chinese characters were writen by a caligrapher engaged in China town area. Displayed features hmmm... Still searching for more hehe..

Hi Rachel,
That's interesting to get a caligrapher to write on the wall. How much did u pay for that?
Do agree that the tv is a little too small for your overall nice hse. haha...never mind, tat's not impt if you and HB are not TV addicts unlike both me and my HB who are movie addicts and spend our weekends watching DVDs.

Beary,
I paid $250 for that and honestly speaking, it is considered cheap cos normal wall hung painting of that size should cost more than that!

Rachel, check with you, how much it cost to do the wooden bind at your dining area? Is it easy to maintain? Is it really wooden or it is like plastic (can bend) but brown in color? I am thinking of doing one for my own bedroom. But I only worried that it trap dust easy and I have to keep on dusting it (cannot stand dust haaa).
ej faster upload more picture of your room and KITCHEN especially. I love to see kitchen

Hi Rachel,
Really like your house, how much did you renovate your place? can share with me your quotation if you have a soft copy.
I think your house is the same layout as mine just that it is an mirror image.
Can I ask is your kitchen just next to ur dinning area? if yes.. i see that you did a platform for your dinning area..so did u do a step down to ur kitchen?
Thanks.

Deco can move later ma, reno cannot. So we would rather spend on something that we can bring with us when we move house next time loh..I think we will stick to the same theme in future.

Hellooo Rachel ...,
Your decorative bamboos look a lot like my bamboos for hanging clothes. Mine cost $1.70 each from the HDB heartland. Comes in different laminated colours. Got red, blue, green and yellow! Hee hee hee, I'm just being cheeky. Kidding only. No offence hor.
But seriously, if I were to buy the decorative bamboos from Farm Mart, do you think I can transport them back in my car?
Otherwise, does Farm Mart do delivery at a cost? What do you think?

Shuhann,
Sure, do keep me inform. I think I also pick such a colour. Just afraid that it will turn out to be a different shade. Indeed it is very bright and vibrant.
I hear him saying that he got diffculties on the divider at your foyer. Do you have a particular angle you want to fix it? We also impose a difficult task for him about our door....wonder if patrick got tell you this before.
Oh, so you went over to see your carpentry? Hmmm....did you suggested it or he invite you over? So I believe that yours is completing soon. Can we drop by once your house is done up?
I not sure if he had started it....think so coz he promise us by 20/8, they will finished installing.

Hi Rachel,
ID? My friend doing up my reno for me. Initially, i also got a quote from Patrick but dropped Ho Bee because my friend's an ID and I could 'squeeze' her for more discounts...hehe
but I can see that Patrick had done up all your flats nicely and at very reasonable price. He sure a busy busy man nowadays....courtesy of SingaporeBrides forum.

Hi shuhann,
The shop is just beside the old AMK swimming pool. It is not near interchange (a few busstop away to be exact). It is near Bishan Park though.

Shuhann,
Sure, you are most welcome and come and take a look.
Patrick is real busy till sometime I feel that he don't really care. He just throw us to his worker and let us settle everything. Oh the door, is actually my master bedroom door. We do not cater lockset on the other end for locking of the door so need to get a door with a lock that lock onto the ceiling. Ah Keong is suppose to source for it but till now, he have not found any. Oh dear, in that case, I don't know what to do. Just hope that he is able to find one.
We called him yesterday to check on certain item but never ask him on the progress...Arghh....cannot finished! He actually promise us that and now......empty promise..sob sob.
Have you got to know any neighbour....i have not seen mine yet.....

Hi Rachel,
Laminated is better than parquet in my opinion. parquet very easily scratched. In addition, got to polish evey few yrs and so dusty and troublsome. laminate is so easy to maintain. heh heh.. i got laminate for 3 bedrooms too. I like the platform done for u. very classy... still got a step area.. very nice. is that yr idea?

Kopi, for the bamboos they are actually cut into half cos too long. I can squeeze the bamboos into the car cos mine is those type 5 doors car so it was inserted thru the back door and placed vertical instead of horizontal. If yours is a salon car then I think cannot fit le.. but can try la. Not sure of the delivery, but if you ask patrick to deliver for you, should be free le
Aeina,
The step for the platform is my hubby's idea

Hi Shuhann,
U can try getting office chairs from Vhive at Great World City (their biggest outlet). We got ours from there too.
Hi Kopi,
We got Patrick and Malcom to help us transport our bamboo though I'm driving a MPV. But we bought many more compared to Rachel, Rachel should know since she's seen my hse pics. Ours was a series of ard 12 bamboo total embedded in a planter box which we specially got Ah keong to do for us. In fact, our bamboo had to be transported in two trips even though Patrick was driving his lorry!

Hi Rachel,
Your house is really nice! Love the calligraphy on the wall. Might be considering that too! Really fits in with the whole concept.
My house reno is done. Now left with the furnishings, but I guess my house will look more comtemporary, not so Zen-like in yours as my renovation was quite minimal. Will have more loose furniture.

hi bearyhugs,
I want to ask you, you have use the wooden bind (from spotlight) for quite sometime already. How u think about it? good to use? will it give u problem like those plastic ones last time, when u pull the string sometimes one side is up while the other side no effect? Also, will the wooden bind cause the room to be dark even if u did not close the vent?
sorry for asking so much, because really like the wooden bind but never use before (except in my office last time... those really give me problem).
