Yesterday, Darling & Me went to our love nest to have a look. Was really excited as carpentry and lighting works are up. Almost 80% completed. At least we can have a real feel of the whole house theme.
When we arrived, the aircon men were there busy installing the aircon units. The curtain lady came shortly. Didn't know curtains were so expensive. But we liked the materials that she proposed to us, especially to those newly launched organzas in the market. Therefore, we gave confirmation and engaged her for the curtain and blind works. To our minimal surprises, she is also the coordinator for our wallpaper.
Whole house renovation was nicer than we expected. I am beginning to fall in love to my love nest =)
But of course in renovation, there is no definite perfection. There are bound to have some human error though. We have analysed some few minor defects and attended a rectification diligently.
Other than that, I still love the look of the house, the ambience & the colours.......Woooohoooo! http://evelynlee10.multiply.com/photos/album/109/Renovation_Progress_-_Day_22

It has been 2 weeks since renovation started...Counting down till handover..lalalala =p
Progress has been quite smooth. Hacking, plumbling, electrical & aircon cabling works has been done. Gas pipe has also been installed. Fridge & washing machine kerbs have also been constructed using a darker shade of floor tiles compared to the original ones as HDB does not have any remaining tiles left. Ugly water & A/C pipes have also been boxed up.
Ceiling & touching up works have also been done. Need some rectifications of false ceiling at living area.It looks a bit slanted leh. Contractor have explained to us it is due to the unbalance height difference in our ceiling. But it really looks "off" for us. Hopefully Gerard can arrange the contractor to change for us next week before painting works start. Master Bathroom WC piping seems not to be working. Need to get the plumber to inspect.

Cellini Queen Size Bed BB115Q & Bedframe FB9992/Feature FB0053 With Mattress & Mattress Protector & 1 FOC Bolster:

We simply love this bed at first sight!

Samsung RT53EAMT-MATT S Refridgerator:
Silver Nano Health System™
Sophisticated nano-technology which is applied to the silver nano coating of SAMSUNG's refrigerator has an anti-bacterial effect. Since propagation of fungi and bacteria inside refrigerators is prevented, you can keep your refrigerator fresh and clean.
Multi-air flow
Cool air flows out through multiple outlets at every shelf level, maintaining the ideal temperature to keep food fresh for longer.
Cool Curtain System™
With the Cool Curtain System™, you get 3-dimensional cooling action throughout. The cold air streams all the way to the door shelves.
Twist ice-maker
A simple twist is all you need to pop the ice cubes out.

Samsung Continental Front Load Washer WFB1061GW:

Ceramic heater
Three times more durable than conventional heaters, ceramic heaters have amazing physical properties that eliminate hard water scales. This saves you money, energy and drastically reduces the need for repairs.On average, a ceramic heater will last up to 10 years before needing replacement.
Baby cotton program
As a natural fibre, cotton has superior absorbability and is soft and gentle on the skin, making it an ideal fabric for baby. These characteristics are taken into account in the "cotton course" which not only removes dirt from the clothes but also minimises detergent residues.
Colour program
This wash cycle allows colours on clothes to stay bright while stains are effectively removed.
28-min quick wash
Compared to other brands’ washers with plastic agitators that rub strongly, SAMSUNG’s washer cleans clothes with a powerful water agitator effect, which results in reducing damage to clothes and tangle.

Starmex Multi Split (Non-Inverter) R22 With 2 Compressor Units:


After some serious considerations, we decided to go for the non-inverter type since we are not heavy user. Aircon units for all 4 bedrooms and we have to forgo to install aircon in living as we have changed to open concept kitchen now.
