Shopping List

Since the house need to be fully renovated, everything currently in the house must come down.
We again.. spend hours going to various places searching, and looking for the right equipment to buy:
Here are the list of items that we've bought:

Hob and Hood
Brand: Ariston (Mayer, IMM)
Thumbs Up to the guy who served us, Freddy. He's a sales person with a very, very good product knowledge and will give you the best advice on anything. He's not the pushy-cushy type, and that's what we like about him. Will definitely look for him again if we were to purchase anything else from Mayer.

The Hob (PH730RTIX) is a new 3 burners design. It's 75cm in length and comes with 1 triple-ring burner, 1 double crown and one double refulation burner. All burners are equipped with Gas Safety Valve. And it's stainless steel..

The Hood (SL19.1P) is the slimline hood. We chose this instead of island hoods due to space constraint. Even though it would look nicer, but I guess the slimline hood is also not bad after all. Hehe.. Am trying to console myself. :(









Lightings:
We got all our lightings and an Amasco ceiling fan from Chelsea Lightings, Jurong East. We were served by a friendly chap called San. We find that the price were quite reasonable and no hard bargaining was needed unlike in some shops along Balestier road. Below are some of the lights that we bought.

Kitchen Light










Our Tin Can light









Room Lights











Dining Light











Down Lights











Bedroom Set:
Ritz Bedroom Set from Picket and Rail
Color: Chestnut

Dining Set:
Kentucky Dining Set, Picket and Rail
Color: Walnut
This is not exactly the same set, but it looks similar to this one








Toilet Accessories:
Sim Siang Choon, Genova and Hoe Kee (IMM)

Aircon:
Toshiba Self-Clean, Gain City (IMM)

Pre Renovation

Here are a few images of the house we bought.
We knew there it's gonna be a major overhaul of the place, especially the kitchen.



The pipings have all turn yellow or shall i say, brown.







Even the gas point had also turned brown.




This is the only kitchen "feature" of the house.
This is gonna be hacked down also.


The living room wall.
This is gonna be our feature wall in the Living area


The tiles will all be hacked and we'll try to fit in the washing machine and fridge in this gap..
We'll have to keep our fingers crossed!!
