Renovation cost

looking back at what i have spent on my new 4 RM HDB house..
basically the basic renovation(highlighted in red) is about 7.5k...
didn't take up any renovation package due to the fact that i would like to DIY many things...
i dont really see the need for the false ceiling as it will make my small 4RM HDB even smaller!
i dont like to have downlight..even though people will say its LED!
But please be reminded that electricity bill calculation is based on the wattage consumed by those lights. so imagine one downlight is 5-8 W, 10 downlight is 50- 80W! you might as well install the old fluorescent light, right?
My lights are also LED, but its those surface mount type, 18W.

i painted the whole house myself as i would like to have the best paint...and cost saving is about 1K plus...the only tedious part is to burn a few weekends just for painting..but i enjoyed doing it!


I only have the kitchen cabinet for one side...the other side is left for fridge and a small dinning table...because i still find it kinda weird to eat in the living room! and without the dinning table at the living room, trust me, your 4RM HDB will look super big! Those cabinet are supported by legs... i never do any cemented platform for those kitchen cabinets as i personally find it very ugly...




So how to eat if you have guests coming?
fret not! i have DIY a wall mounted table! big enough for 6 ppl.
Best part is when you are not using it, it will be there, like an art piece.....even though i would like to make it more like a chinese painting..but no time...so the end result is like this...
