Since we collected our keys, our weekends have been spent shuffling from place to place, checking out on renovation progress and settling lighting, furniture, electrical appliances and other household needs.
Though our piggy banks have been emptied out, there's an immense, priceless satisfaction in seeing your home put together, like different puzzle pieces coming together, slowly but surely.
It's been a long time waiting but if all goes well, we should be moving in, in 2 weeks' time.
To say I can't wait, is an understatement. It's time to start packing, wooooooot!
P.S. I'm still on the hunt for some stuff and would appreciate any recommendations on where I can source for the following:
- A nice rug for the living room, which won't wipe out our non-existing bank accounts
- Cheap clothes hangers in black or silver. Ikea sells the black plastic at $1 for 4 pieces but those are out of stock.
- A small dark teakwood bench for us to sit down and wear our shoes
Hey z! Do share some pictures of your home! Haha
ReplyDeleteThe house is still in a mess, maybe after they clear up the reno debris :)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Can't wait to see the finished product! You can get simple grey or black hangers from those small sundry shops underneath the HDB blocks - just ask for the colours. For wooden products, try John Erdos or Origins Asia. If not get the Ikea one and stain it in your favorite colour! Try Molecule for rugs. Have fun shopping!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips! I bought some black hangers from Giant and managed to get a bench at a steal from this shop which I'll blog about. Will check out Molecule to see their rugs.
