Reno Blog #05 - 2nd discussion with ID and mattress purchase

We had our second discussion with Raymond on 27 Mar. The discussion focused on refining some details, so that he could proceed to come up with the 3D pictures for our review. 

We explored the fair at Spore expo over the weekend and selected our mattress. Decided to go for the Simmons Arlington Plush (Queen size), which bust our initial budget...

Feeding Baby solids

Was surfing on the mummysg forum when I came across a post on websites that may be helpful for parents embarking on feeding solids to their babies.

Reno Blog #04 - sofa set, dining table set and TV console

We both grew up in homes that had most of its furniture in the classical chinese/oriental style (living room sofa and dining table), so it was a no-brainer when we discussed the style of furniture for our own place at Duxton. Plus, I think we are more wowed by the idea of buying a set of furniture that, in my view, would last longer than those fashionable and cushy leather sofa settes. Fresh in my mind was my sister's sofa (newly bought in 2007 when she got married, with sunken spots where people tend to sit, and therefore discarded before CNY this year). I guess, economically speaking, I believe good quality wood furniture would depreciate less each year??? 

Reno Blog #02 - First visit to ID

It was our first visit to any ID, and I hadn't done any 'homework' nor read up on forums on ID selection. We had some brief info compiled from a friend who had shopped around at various IDs before making her decision. However, our ID was not on her list. This was recommended by KK's brother as he had worked on their renovation of their existing flat.
