So where to start? Ok so let’s first look at the original settings of the place. It is a very cosy place of a Taiwanese – German setting. Laura and Martin were very kind to have us take pictures and also allow us to come in to cook a steak to test their exhaust!

Overall, the place is still very well-kept with the previous tenant taking really good care of the items. However, in order to be able to live in it for the next decade, some things need to be done, repairs and alterations. Especially the master bath tub that is pretty useless.
So before the contractors come in to cordoned the place, they have to block everything out and ensure that whatever cracks that can be seen are reported to prevent us from claiming it is their mistake. Due d.
Toilet accessories that have to go. Looking at the original marble tiles of the toilets, the marbling condition is still very good but the fact that in the event that it turns bad after the main renovation, would mean that all have to go through the renovation again. Also, in order to change the toilet accessories to the original brand which is xxxxx (I cannot remember), it is so expensive it almost paid for the renovation of the whole 2 toilets. So it has to go. And it was the right choice.
Looking at the kitchen, the condition of the stove and the kitchen top needs to be replaced. Everything else seems to be ok, but there is space constraint. So to do or not to do?
Look at the small utility room for the helper, I think it seems so small for us, but to the helper, to have their own room and even the toilet is already so good. One man’s poison is the other’s medicine.
Every room has a platform which is kind of useless, but no ideas on how to make use of the bay window. Used to be movable beds that are just shifted in.
In anything, in order to get the best optimum result, we will need to have choices and to have choices, we will need to search, and to search we will have to put in the effort. And that is what makes us tired. While searching for a suitable interior designer, there is still a need to find all the nitty gritty of things. Anyway, we will still have to find our way to find the designer that can make the best out of the space that is given and to make sure that everything is planned well to fit into all the requirements of the individual rooms. We went in search for 3 quotes.
