I shall continue right after my wedding. I have gotten my Home keys on the END of November 2011. Its now Oct2012.  in between we slowly did our renovation. My renovation only starts after CNY 2012. That's why it took so long :)

A little update. I official shifted on 24th June 2012 (sunday). Before that, the past few weeks i have started to shift my things over. So that actual day i wont have to carry that much. Specially my shoes and Clothes! horrible :P i kept away alot of my clothes hor :X and shoes at my mummy place... One day than see how, slowly move over :P

My MIL and pepper was suppose to move in with us too~ But my MIL is not ready to shift away from her house which she have been staying for 30 over years? yap~ as old as my hubby older sister. She say when my hubby gets back from his LONG sailing in somewhere Sept12. Than she move in :) She was saying.. She needs to go exercise every morning at up the hill .. than go yoga on every tuesday than also she got good neighbours and on and on... She is simply use to her Own comfort place i guess :) But that causes my hubby like in the middle ~

Everybody likes to have their own freedom :) Hopefully everything goes smoothly .

A little show case before renovation was done.

Tiles that was given by HDB. We vote for it as we thought it should be cheaper :) And can pay by CPF. No need fork out $.

Our Living Hall~

Our Open Concept Kitchen & Luandry area

Our Corridor to rooms

Our Common Toilet

Bedroom 1 & 2

MBR - Master bed room & Toilet

And the renovation starts :) Of course, the planning and contractor showing you the measurements and drawing have to be confirm . Than signed! Than start work.

1. Aircon goes up first ~ Sorry no picture. But we got system 4 mitsubishi inverter .Every room as one aircon plus a bigger one in living hall .

2. Renovation work starts. the contractor comes to protect your flooring by covering with like boxes card of cardboard.

3. Than the electric works comes in pull out all the wires! If with false ceiling means more points for your lights. So contractor will have to do some study on how your lights pull out from. As HDB only gives you like one points at living hall, one point for dining area.

We had false celing for our living hall , corridor and our MBR.

4.There goes the false ceiling for living hall (right) , MBR( left) and also a false wall (bottom) to seperate the kitchen n Dining/living hall area.

5. All the build in cupboards coming in place for bedrooms, toilet ,shoe cabinet. Toilet doors, toilet mirror with cover cupboards inside ,  Tv wall feature with mirror drawer. false wall mirrors and door ! Suddenly you see all the things in place :)

6.Than at last two different WALL PAPER ! we got for our MBR and Dining area. This is done after painting .

All done , left cleaning :) And also in between we shop for our electronic stuff and furniture ! So right after renovation and CLEAN up. its moving in furniture and electronic stuff.

A tip: all the cupboards build in has a strong chemical ( think its the glue) which will cause your eyes abit pain and also its no good to smell it. So leave it all open up . Dont close it. 

Hooray! seeing everything coming in~

After that is decorating time! This is where i juice out my brain. Most of the deco are my idea ! Lets see the complete home of ours :)
