We met our Id at 11am this morning to shop for kitchen + toilet accessories. We first went to El Bano at Geylang, which is pretty close to Heritage bathroom gallery. Honestly, it was a tiring experience for us. Because we had to look at new options (eg. single kitchen sink instead of double, non mixer kitchen tap, new brand of storage heater), compare against heritage's prices and haggle with the shop's assistant. We decided to go back to Heritage to double confirm the prices but eventually did not purchase from them since it would be more difficult for our ID to coordinate for us. Since the price differences weren't huge, we decided to go with his other business partner, Bactera.
We chose our kitchen sink + tap + accessories and bathroom accessories like mirror, stand, toilet roll holder, towel bar, towel hooks and bidet sprays. Total damage was $1,300!
The next part was finalizing our Reno details and final quotation with our ID. This process took 2 hours but I guess it was worth the time since we got many things sorted out. Quotation wise, our total came up to $36,000 including our electricals and study room. G decided to go for the study room eventually because he just loved it too much! We decided to stay with the additions like shoe cabinet, TV feature + console and baby room cabinet. Our ID decided to give us some extras like master bedroom false ceiling + additional electricals + down lights complimentary. I guess that made us happier lol.
So with everything finalized, we can start reno once we make payment for the next 45% of the full amount! They'll first start with the electricals, false ceiling then tiling works. Only when these are complete, carpentry and painting will begin. Can't wait to see our new home!
