miulicious

I'm at a loss also about what to choose for my kitchen appliances. I'm looking at Mayer (ariston or indesit) , rinnai and aerogaz cos most prob my new apt can only use those 60cm hobs. I'm a sucker for design plus I don't cook that much, maybe some instant noodles occasionally. So which brand is value for money and don't look too ugly? And does the prices at their official showroom differs from those authorised seller? Sorrie for asking such a stoopid question. If only can strike toto today.....then can use Miele kitchen. Haizzz

Thank you very much.

Thanks rd .The contractor told me if I box up the area below the stairs. I might have to box up the gaps between the steps (maybe 5-6 steps) to prevent the dust from going in. But half boxed up stairs, wouldn't it look funny? The wood panel door you show me is nice but wouldn't the holes allow dust to go in as well?

Hi everyone. After following this forum for so long, I'm gonna start my own t-blog now. I just bought this apartment but it's still in the midst of all those paperworks. Hopefully I can collect my keys in June cos I've sold my flat and the new owners wanna take possession by 18th Aug. The seventh lunar month also starts on Aug 20 so I also don't wanna shift in during that period. Everything's in a rush and I'm getting stressed out by the lack of store room in this apartment. Here's my floor plan Level 1 Level 2 And some pictures of the apartment 1st thing you walk into the apartment, you see the kitchen. The whole kitchen have to go as the sink faces the stove a 'no-no' in fengshui. And look at the facing of the stove, you whole house is gonna stink when you cook. I do not know what to do with the washing machine and dryer. Should I keep it or use my own washing machine (it's 6 years old)? I 'm taking my side by side door fridge with me and it's giving me a big headache cos you can see the kitchen is not very big. Next is bedroom 2. Beneath the carpet *gasp* parquet-less. Extra money to be spend again. The living and dining is in parquet, would it be very weird if I use laminate for the rooms? Up the staircase to the master bedroom. The existing wardrobes, I'm gonna hack away the part which is protruding out to make the MBR bigger. The door leading downstairs. As you can see, my windows are double storey full height and it's facing the afternoon sun, I'm thinking of sticking clear solar firm + curtains or film + Hunter Douglas Duette Honeycomb shades. . The price would be around the same cos Hunter Douglas is having a 20% promo for the Duette shades for the GSS. After the 20% off the whole motorized system would be around 2k+. But I would like fellow forummers opinion on this investment. The study area which I'm gonna turn into my wardrobe. The master bedroom toilet, I hate the shower tray!!! Who will sit and shower?? The basins which are still quite new even though it's a 13 yr old apt. I will definitely remove the shower tray but the tricky part is buying back similar colour tiles for the patch there. That thing beside the toilet bowl which is for washing butt also have to go. I would have ugly patches here and there in my MBR toilet but what to do? No budget to redo the whole toilet, and the original toilet is all in marble. Very wasted to hack. Feel free to gimme a free suggestions , your help is definitely appreciated.

Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum and I would like to seek some suggestions on how to turn the space beneath the spiral staircase into a mini storeroom. My new 2-room apt doesn't come with any storeroom at all. Because of the budget constraint, I was thinking of using string curtains to hide the clutter beneath but my ID suggest boxing it up. But that would defeat the purpose of the gaps between the steps. And I'm doing up my house more on the oriental theme, so I would like some suggestions on how to hide the clutter with the minimal budget. Thanks.
