Hi LYN member.. I would like to share my renovation journey The house is a basic 10years old 800++sqft apartment unit with 4 bedroom and 2 bathroom (got 2 small single-bed bedroom and 2 double-bed bedroom). no ceiling fans in bedroom, basic tile,all basic. Move-in on Dec'15 and just started my journey on Oct'16 after got enough money from saving. I had to break-down my renovation by space-area as my financial quite tight,need to save on my monthly salary paid. We started on master bedroom first on Oct'16 as we need storage on keeping all our clothes (its our biggest priority),change the old master bedroom sliding window to swing aluminum mutipoint casement window with tempered-glass, and close-out back patio area as i plan to convert it to a wet-kitchen. The journey starts here.. Living area

The 1st phase cost me around RM9k all-in including Ikea acc. I manage to get a good and cheap carpenter. whats funny is, its the 1st time he build a platform bed but he willing to try. luckily i'd prepared a good plan with all exact measurement. final result came 1:1 This post has been edited by richard277: Mar 11 2017, 10:47 AM

Wow. You and your wife is good. Can DIY some parts. πππ
I'm surprise 800 sq feet can get 4 bedrooms and 2 bath. Any way your master bedroom looks nice - congrats

I think all bedroom not in standard size as other apartment, quite small but still can fit in beds thats make me try hard on the design so all corner of space is usable

QUOTE(skizzo75 @ Mar 12 2017, 12:04 AM) respect ur creativity and ur DIY job, nice design Cost of the casement window? Thanks! The casement windows cost me rm1.4k, its powder-coated white with 8mm green TG. Expensive because of multipoint lock as i dont plan to put grill.my unit on 1st floor,gated and guarded. The wet kitchen casement window cost me rm400,its 4ftx1ft 5mm emerald TG with frosted tint.also white powder-coated. The shop told me if change all windows can get cheaper,but im tight in budget. So i just bear the contra.other windows will be change later.

Im quite a fussy person but the owner were nice to advise n listen to me. They even redo my laundry cabinet as the alignment a bit off. If u want budget n good cabinet,i do recommend him MAHSYA Kitchen Azharul (010-5112984) Fb: Azharul Ismail My living area still in bare, i just finish remodel my wet n dry kitchen will upload picture soon
