552sqft Flat

Alhamdulillah, the unit procured last year, 12 days away till it became 1 year old, finally settled. We totally outsource the renovation works. None by us. We did consider to do part of it by ourselves to reduce the cost but it seems to be a distant dream. We need to ensure minimal disturb to our monthly cash flow, hence outsourcing it would be the fastest way - the fastest being 1 year process not to mention a costly affair (T_T)

Let's have the before and after photo feast of each area starting from the Hall.

Thankfully the tiles are free BUT we had to add 136 pieces i.e. not similar to the free tiles colour scheme *sadis*
A hard lesson learnt definitely but the free 400+ pieces required 2 trips from the site and additional pieces will require another trip. Not to mention loading and unloading it to the 2nd floor of the property!


The cheap vinyl replaced with tiles makes the room looks bigger - green vs cream.


The sink replaced with counter top and new basin, this eats 15% of the total upgrading cost. 


A cleaned yard from any debris with a fresh coat of paint makes it look so much better.


I roamed through all the 'Before' picture but could not find any showing Bedroom 1. The door is closed - I don't remember hiding anything in that room except debris from the previous tenant which he removed after we request him to do so.
   


Only the 'After' shoots.


This picture do not do justice as the tiles are not shown. The location where the tiles are living 'harmoniously' despite their colour and background differences.

That's about it. Alhamdulillah its settled for the time being. We are eyeing another 2 properties at the moment. Which ever we might end up with, I pray that it would be the best decision made upon guidance from the Almighty. Amin.
