Gorilla and Mushroom Renovation

okay... finally, we got all our material organized! We are hoping this renovation blog will be informative, especially to the new couples who just got their homes, and are finding themselves lost in the big world of renovation. We know... we were there. So join us in our journey, and hopefully our knowledge accumulated will be useful to you.

It all began many moons ago when we decided to get a place to call our own. The story goes a longer way back, so to cut the long story short…

We have just confirmed our unit. This is where our humble abode resides...



From the time we confirmed the unit, till the time we actually get the keys, there is a few months for us to ponder over who to engage for our renovation, what to renovate for the home. So the hunt for the elusive CHEAP-AND-GOOD renovation ID/contractor is on.





We have never realised how many renovation IDs are out there till we started on our quest to seek the best ID/contractor to do up our home.







In preparation prior to getting the keys to our new home, we have bought countless renovation magazines, trying to get ideas, and we always thought that we could just go to the renovation ID/contractor, point to a picture and say "nah... that is what i want to do... how much?"


It was really an eye-opening experience, what with the different material used, the space planning involved... aiyoh... susa, I tell you... susa =)
Then you got to start considering where all the little kinck-knacks go, you have to plan for where you additional storage and stuff like that.


Thanks to the many friends we have met in this forum Renotalk forums and this forum Singaporebrides forums, we managed to come up with some renovation strategies to get us started... more on that tomorrow, when I will list the steps that will be helpful when seeking out renovation IDs.


and so the quest to a comfortable home begins...
