And after close to 2 months of renovations (6 weeks actually), the entire process is finally over! Yesterday was the handover of flat and payment of the remainder of the renovation costs. The final amount calculated for the entire renovation was S$15,577 instead of the initally quoted S$16,607. And that's because we took out the TV console (S$680) and reduced the size of the living room mirror (S$530).
We arrived at the flat early yesterday to inspect the final 'artwork' and got the painter to do some minor touchups. And when Henry arrived, we did a final walkabout with him before settling the payment and handover.
Last Saturday, we dropped by Tanjong Katong Shopping Complex where we ordered our curtains from
Jimmy Textiles. We were given an initial quote of S$1,100 a few weeks ago but when we were there last week, the amount we were re-quoted was S$930, which was much cheaper! Of course having read rave reviews about Jimmy Textiles on
Renotalk, we didn't hesitate any further and ordered curtains on the spot. We took full-length day & night curtains for the living room and full-length night curtains for the master bedroom and guest room. We also had half-length night curtains for the study.
We had the final drilling of the holes for the curtain rails last Sunday (really prompt service, I must admit) and today, the contractor came down to fix up the rails and curtains.
What's left:
