Taman Damai Mewah Has been issued a CF

Yay! We have an official address. And we can start renovations anytime. We're meeting up with the contractors today to finalize the minor renovation works. We'll be busy this weekend looking for lights and maybe doors. Pretty much have every other essential item except a washing machine and our master bedroom wardrobe. Our loot is currently being stored in my in-laws house, my sister's old apartment and a furniture warehouse. I am so glad that we decided to furnish our house in stages earlier on. It leaves us very little to worry about now.

Two days ago we purchased our staircase wall light in a small light shop nearby. It is a two bulb with shade, wrought-iron-like number. Simply gorgeous and it cost us only RM110. The original price was RM138 but we managed to haggle. Will post a photo soon.

I can't wait for renovations to begin. For the moment, our plan is to extend the kitchen - combine the wet and dry kitchens to create one bigger space. Built-in cabinets will probably come in at a later stage because a nice system will cost an arm and leg. The back fencing needs to be brought down and replaced with a 6' concrete wall for safety and privacy purposes. We may need to look into roofing our whole (tiny) back portion in the near future. Maybe my dad with a little assistance from the hubby can build something simple but beautiful. Another addition would be a gypsum wall for our walk-in wardrobe that will connect to the bathroom.

Painting. I have not taken this into consideration yet. I am pretty much happy with white walls. I may need to add a splash of color here and there but not until we have everything in and i can decide on the color scheme. Painting will be self-performed. And if i'm real rajin and have the time, I will paint some wall art. Elil's play room will be a fantastic place to practice and start. Oh I'm so excited!
