Did I say we are going to shun Ikea for the new home project? Let’s now eat our words and lick the bowl clean. Our footsteps are going to print at the store this weekend. Maybe we will buy the customizable wardrobe, tv console, lots of home accessories and of course have some meatballs when we’re there.
The last I know, the tiling of the new place is completed, new white windows are up and the air con is fixed. Next up would be electrical wiring and switches to put on, painting of walls, installing cabinets and doors.. we are almost there!
Can’t wait to see how the whole place turns out to be, to be honest I am feeling kinda jittery but the kitchen is going to be fitted with Ariston gadgets so let’s pray the currently out-of-stock items arrive in time for Christmas.

After all those research online and reading on renovating, I have learnt this - ID means interior designer. There is no end to abbreviations in Singapore. Everything has to be short cut, but sigh - there is no shortcut to all the work involved in trying to revamp a very old and dingy flat into something of cosy condition.All the guesswork has been put into works. The hacking has been done and the tiles for toilet is up. Every visit to the work site still gives me the quivers; those tiles are up and this process is irreversible. Whatever is fixed is going to be stuck there indefinitely... This is what you call stress! My dearest contractor has called to say we HAVE to get the toilet bowl, sinks, water heater, stove, hood etc delivered asap to be fixed on. Every item is a decision process. Then i remember, our flat is just a 2 bedroom, how do those people with huge houses and a garden cope doing it all with a contractor themselves??Pray this project is as smooth as silk, this end of year is as exciting as it can get!
