My house is a 20 x 80 double storey terrace. It's new, so every part of the house has to be furnished from scratch. So i came up with a budget list - after my visit to the reno fair - I had to have a rough idea how much each part of my house will potentially cost me.
Lights & fans & wirings 3500
TV cabinet 1500
Sofa 5000 (hubby wants leather, i don't mind cushion but it has to be 100% leather if its leather)
Dining 3500
Shoe Rack 800
Mirror 2500 (at the dining area)
Kitchen cabinet 20 000
Living area shelf 2000 (at the staircase, has to be nice as it will be reflected on the mirror at the dining)
Upstairs living shelf 6000 (for hubby's library of books)
Bedframe 3000 (budget set aside for this, but we can go without a bedframe)
Mattress 4500
Internal & External filter 5000
Master bedroom wardrobe 3000
TV 1500 (or the cheapest 42" available) (we are not particular on the quality of TV. they all look pretty much the same to me. it just has to look pretty)
Washing machine 2000
Fridge 3500 (with inverter technology, apart from this it only has to be pretty)
Kitchen hob, hood, oven 4000 (Theres Bosch, Electrolux, Elba, Lebenstill etc etc etc so many to choose from!! i personally like Electrolux - purely because of the branding but for the budget that ive set, gonna have to cross this out)
The total amount is rm71 300 *gasp*
BUT!
Fil said that he's going to sponsor some stuffs, and mil is going to sponsor my fridge. there's also my mum n sis (who wont be contributing much i suppose haha)
And i haven't included grills, renovation at the wet kitchen, altering the toilet upstairs etc! The ones listed are big items - i havent included coffee tables (800), carpets (1000), rugs (dont wana clean feet with used shirts wtf)
But i know what they say, 'Dont wear a hat bigger than your head'.
So im going to have a little discussion with hubby to see which item i dun mind less to compromise on.
