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.
We were, unfortunately late for the first appointment as we could not quite locate the office, and had trouble finding parking. It was in an area predominantly dotted with private housing.

Raymond was friendly and listened patiently to our questions and ideas. He also provided some useful advise on the practicality of some of my ideas (which I had to trash): such as mirror-backed doors and feature walls.

Internally, I was quite sore at myself for not thinking through the limitations of some of the items on my "WANTS LIST": namely a full-height book shelving with glass doors for the longer wall of the study. Even a double-layered bookshelving system where the front set of bookshelves can be pushed on wheels/tracks to conceal the shelves at the back.
