Spend so much needlessly on quite a few things. And yet house look very normal only after reno... I think you guys are kena chop carrot by ID or simply too rich and not spending wisely on furnishings and reno... Seriously don't look worth it. For the amount u spent.
45k reno for a 4 room flat is cheap, my friend's 4 room reno is around 60k. The furnishings are rather expensive at 45k, especially the mattress at 6k+, my queen size Dr Maxis Lux Cool Dream mattress with bed frame only $2,500 with 5cm pillow top, pocketed springs and 13" thickness - more comfortable than established brands like King Koil and Dunlopillo.
Some find it unpleasant being difficult to maintain cleanliness and dust free, and possibility of breeding pests and yellowing overtime. Otherwise lighting inside false ceiling can be ambient and nice
@@Tonytayloring but if we are talking about a supposed splurging of a reno project, inconvenience shouldn’t be an issue. Aesthetics are crucial. But this is really underwhelming
@@xupper223 I think it’s fine. If practicality is an issue, then don do cove lights. Having protruding lighting devices are really ugly. Of cos ceiling height of hdb is lower but I’ve seen hdb looking awesome with false ceilings
hello, can you share where you bought the home gym equipment? im a new bto home owner and looking to set up a home gym too. and your set up looks decently good!
@@xaviergracie it depends on the weight of your mattress. our mattress is pretty heavy, so it is quite tough for 1 person (aka the wife) to lift it up now😅
Hi, love your reno, that is most likely what i would be doing also. Can i check to install the digital lock on your gate, any alteration on the gate is needed. Can u show on pictures on the front and back of gate also. I saw some with a additional black box installed. Thank you very much! Nice Home. Enjoy! Alan
thanks for watching! :) there was no alteration done to the existing gate. the additional lockset was installed above the existing HDB-provided manual lockset with handle. we had the option to remove it but we did not want to remove something that still has its function. not sure if the black box you mentioned referred to the battery compartment for the digital door lock?
This is definitely a smart choice going direct contractor, saving at least 30% from going to ID! But only for those who know what to do first and next!
The wall behind the TV is part concrete and part plaster wall, and in continuation with the built-in suspended TV console below which the Sonos Arc is placed upon. There is a hole cut-out behind the TV at the plaster wall, another hole cut-out behind the TV console as well as a third long cut-out on top of the TV console for wires to pass through. The HDMI cable is connected from the TV, dropped through the hole cut-out in the plaster wall, passes through the second hole cut-out in the TV console, and finally passed from the third cut-out at the top of the TV console into the Sonos Arc from behind. The end result is quite aesthetic as the wires are completely concealed!
Thanks for sharing! it's indeed very informative and helpful to new homeowners. May I know if you have engaged any ID or contractor? Or are you the project manager for your renovation?
I love everything except the Philips set gates. The toilet is pretty nice husband can hide when wife goes crazy 😂. I don’t like the wifi router other than that everything cool
omg!!! the best investment i wouldnt ever make is the actual matress.. yooo 6400 dollars for a matress that i paid for under 400 dollars is nice! its a hybrid cooling matress! kinda crazy when u spend that much n under pay for other things... n then overly pay for things! lolll love ur house tho its slaps but i coudlnt pay for everything personally in america! u do u sir and mam u slap it! but me in america i cant handle all that only a fraction of the fraction of the money into my house... but then again its worth about 87k... not 1 million LOL 🤣👍
Super overpriced. So much money wasted. It is best to source individual rather than letting the ID do everything. This is why Reno prices are so inflated in SG. Moreover most of the things are also outsourced to get the job done so mind as well find it directly.
Lol, if you so free got the time to design own your house, source for reliable contractors and manage the project timeline yourself why dont you start your own youtube channel? No shit everything is expensive now, the ice cream cone from macdonald has already doubled in price since 2010s. You want cheap you go invent your own time machine and go back to 2000s lah.
Very comprehensive cost break down, thanks for giving these references!
Very cozy home, great job!
thank you for supporting us! :)
Thank you for sharing very detailed breakdowns of your cost. Appreciate your time and effort :) Congrats on your beautiful home
I love your renovation style and the video presentations. Congrats all around. 🎉
Most of the furniture can be bought on Taobao and some diy could save 20+k
brings me back to my renovation journey when i got my BTO
Hi, can you share where you bought the bedside wall light? Thank you

Awesome breakdown vid
did u use an ID? if yes which company can share?
False ceiling and wallpaper are two must haves which would automatically glamour up a place

@@stonkytong There are so many interior themes. So wallpaper and false ceilings means 'glamorous' & 'splurging'... Woow I see
Glamor yes. Practicality no.

@@xaviergracie it depends on the weight of your mattress. our mattress is pretty heavy, so it is quite tough for 1 person (aka the wife) to lift it up now😅
jesus nearly 100k sunken cost on a minimalistic concept.
Reasonable price for today items. Anyway comfort of home is most important so ok to spend more. U cant bring money to coffin too
May I know if you have a contact to purchase and install the uniarm door stopper?
you can check out their facebook page 'uni-arm' :)

Where is your kitchen sink from?

How’s the storage bed? Thanks. Wonderful video
it's pretty solid!
Nice vid with prices 👍
Can u breakdowns on yr gym fr stationmaster to the mat, tks 🙂
This is definitely a smart choice going direct contractor, saving at least 30% from going to ID! But only for those who know what to do first and next!
Can I check if your hood is the brandt AI-1790X? How is it? Does the Tri-zone induction hob cause any issues?
hi~ our hood is not of the same model. the hob is working fine and has not given us any problems
Hi, may I know what series is your silestone?
Hello, it is the eternal serena series
Nice cozy home. I like your reno design. Was it done by ID or contractor? Would you mind sharing the contact? Thanks!
Hi .. May I know the mirror in the living room is 6 feet ?
hello! it is about 6.5ft
Hi may I know where u get the toilet door?😊
the common bathroom door is from PD Door and the master bathroom glass sliding door was fabricated by the ID and their contractors :)
@@allaboutjakeandemma the know I the glass sliding door done by which company. Cuz my resale flat has the same door as your master bath one. Thank you
Good. Maybe we should do a price comparison.😅
Love your home gym setup! May I ask what is the size of that room & where did u get the floor mat / machine from?
thanks for watching! :) the room is about 10 sqm and the gym equipment were purchased from homegym.sg a few years ago
@@allaboutjakeandemma Hmm, abt 3.5x3.5m space? Defo looks bigger than that in the video tho, heheh...
So how much is your bank balance ah?
thanks for sharing 👍 lovely home 🏡 👍
thank you for supporting us! :)
Just curious, what do u work as?😅 curious..
Just wondering your tv mount at living room, was there a additional wood which need to be install within the dry walls?
thanks for watching! :) our tv is mounted on the solid wall instead of the partition wall next to it, hence no additional wood support was required
Hi may i ask how do you conceal the wires in the living room? There is no exposed hdmi cables connecting the sonos arc to the tv ?
The wall behind the TV is part concrete and part plaster wall, and in continuation with the built-in suspended TV console below which the Sonos Arc is placed upon. There is a hole cut-out behind the TV at the plaster wall, another hole cut-out behind the TV console as well as a third long cut-out on top of the TV console for wires to pass through. The HDMI cable is connected from the TV, dropped through the hole cut-out in the plaster wall, passes through the second hole cut-out in the TV console, and finally passed from the third cut-out at the top of the TV console into the Sonos Arc from behind. The end result is quite aesthetic as the wires are completely concealed!
Our reno 35k can do double your carpentries it seems. You reno quite ex...maybe imported all quality woods from europe :P
For wardrobe price is included lighting and all ?
it doesn't include lights.. it is the carpentry cost quoted by the ID...
What toilet bowl brand u got ?
the brand is h+m from bathroom warehouse
Thanks for sharing! it's indeed very informative and helpful to new homeowners. May I know if you have engaged any ID or contractor? Or are you the project manager for your renovation?
thanks for watching! we did engage an ID but we were involved in the whole process.
@@allaboutjakeandemma thanks for your insight. So the 90k does include id cost
yes, the renovation costs were quoted by the ID company
Is it a casement or sliding wardrobe ?
it is a sliding wardrobe
weighing scale how much ?
$2.99
I love everything except the Philips set gates. The toilet is pretty nice husband can hide when wife goes crazy 😂.
I don’t like the wifi router other than that everything cool
furniture 45K....omg.. i gotta budget this much
tbh expensive
Wow its a very sleek house!!
Hi do you have the carpenter contact? Really love your Tv console area
protection cardboard $400?!
indeed... that was what we were charged... 😞 i guess it's better to be safe than sorry
Reno cost is cheap. It is the rest of the purchase item that is rather costly.
Wah cardboard $400?
From Gucci
你的家非常漂亮 祝你们幸福快乐
谢谢! 😊
Nice Video...
For $45K , renovation is reasonable...
But for the furnishing, i feel $45K is rather on the higher side thou.
Nevertheless, 👍👍😁
thanks for watching! :)
omg!!! the best investment i wouldnt ever make is the actual matress.. yooo 6400 dollars for a matress that i paid for under 400 dollars is nice! its a hybrid cooling matress!
