1) Change of Layout:
Our initial layout was to knock down a portion of wall between the MBR & the bedroom like so:
However, we realised once we went to 'view' our flat on our own, that we get very good wind flow from the living room area windows... so we decided to maximise the ventilation, by changing our layout to this:
Mike has said that he will get back to us on what the additional costs might be... so we're keeping our fingers firmly crosed. We have both hacking & sealing of areas to deal with on our original & recent design, so hopefully the damage will not be substantial *crosses toes too*
2) Mike views flat
First thing when we went to our home: Mike pointed out a long crack along the side of the wall. Suggested that we give HDB a call to make sure that there was nothing structurally wrong with the room. Felt very concerned when I heard that. He also did some measurements on the vanity area we wanted outside our MBR, as well as confirmed the length of the cabinetry we wanted done. exciting!
3) Viewing of tiles at Hafary
Me and the bf were a little ks. Mike told us that the tile shop that Northwest has a business relationship mainly with Hafary, so we'd probably be picking our tiles from there. So we happily made our way down early last week to 'see see look look' took a few samples of what we thought we wanted. I had a friend also doing renovations presently who went to 2 other tile shops, so I bummed the samples which he didn't want off him & we picked the samples from there too. keke. So once we went to Hafary, we simply took out our tile sample choices & showed them to Mike. It was then pretty much a 'look for matching tile' game there at Hafary. We did however change our 'simple white walls' idea for our kitchen toilet & went for tiles which looked slightly 'woody'. I wish wish wish that I took pictures of the samples, but I didn't... will update once I do get the samples from Mike next time we meet him! (He very kindly offered to pick up samples of our tile choices!)
