Project Reno II

I didn't expect we would actually make this move. Instead of moving to a new place, we decided to renovate current place. 2 factors propelled us to make this decision. Primary school and unable to find a better place to move.

So we decided to bite the bullet, vacate current place and do a major overhaul for current home. And this is no fun at all.

We got Kass Design to assist us in our Project Reno II. The objective is simple. Refresh the look so we can easily stay for another 5 years. Project Reno II consists of re-doing the 3 bedrooms flooring, whole house painting and carpentry work.

To allow the renovation to take place, we rented Extra Space (a 66sqm storage container) at IMM. Then we have engaged mover to help us move most of the furniture and our stuff to IMM. For our temporary holding place, we are migrating west-ward, back to my parents' place.

This project is crazy and tedious. We are back to the pre-reno days which we have to make many decisions within a short time frame. What type of flooring, what colour, what materials, what kind of partition etc...

our choice is easily guessed

the final decision for the wardrobe

the mess that comes along

the dreaded packing

It also mean that as we pack, we do the spring cleaning too. I think this has to be the most productive spring cleaning ever. The amount of stuff we either give away or throw away... make me wonder why we hoard so many unnecessary things.
