Greycat

Wahh! So envy the designer pictures....very the nice! Wow, u got space for a 3 panel kitchen + 1 mre panel of full cabinets ah? dat's awesme!! Can hide many many pots n pans....

I thk hor, dat hole must be accessible wan le.... cuz I rem during discussion wif contractors earlier on, they did mention dat this kitchen hole (every1 has 1 in kitchen) smetimes haf plumbing problems, plumber must be able to access if choke..... I dunno abt full-height cabinets, do they leave a hole inside the cabinet to access?

Hihi Jessie, thks for popping by! Yah lor...veli long neber see u liao but nbmind, next time got chance to see at neighborhood, eg koufu! hehehe Jiarat, dunno where to put our pots n pans...

*nod nod*...not enuff....the wardrobe is abt my own wardrobe size at hme nw..... BrownMse asking contractor whether can extend nw....

Hihi Applefreak, Thks!! Nw, our problem is it seems too small, we could have stretched a bit frm frm 8feet to 10feet. Being conservative, we decided to leave mre empty space to put a small couch so end up wardrobe too small... Ur wardrobe oso nice nice lah! Urs got doors rite? Mine no doors, so haf to b same color inside...

Now the problems discovered in the kitchen..... 1) Top cabinets incredibly little storage space becuz we had a beam running across the top of our kitchen, hence it ate into the space. Didnt expect to eat sooo much lor. See picture below, the top top row of top cabinet can oni put mugs manz.... 2) Bottom cabinets not so bad but becuz we di-siao-siao, wan nice nice suspended off the floor cabinets, so end up with little storage space at bottom too.... Siao liao lah....my PILs bght a lota pots n pans (slow cookers) for us liao..... 3) The supposedly pull-out sauce cabinet. Bght this expensive sauce rack frm Songcho , rem I paid extra somemre for smethg extra to make it pullout cabinet. But hor, carpenter uncle made it a normal swing open cabinet, den the sauce rack pull out wan.....piangz.... Thanks ah kiat! Will update mre pictures day by day, ehehee Update of wardrobe in WIW-rm. Almost complete except sme drawers, hanging rods n mirror la...(85%) Drawers put in! Anything along the length of the wardrobe belongs to Greycat! Anything along the width of the wardrobe belongs to Brownmse, eheheheh Picture of my deepdeep drawers to put my bagbags! Very happi with the small rect opening I askd my contractor to make for the drawer, makes it veli easy to pull drawer out. No handles! Those drawers along Brownmse's width of wardrobe. 1st rack his tofu squares, 2nd layer his oni drawer (hahaha), 3rd layer the pants hanger... On the other side of the wall wld be the vanity dressing table (drawers hafnt put in yet). Mirror yet to be installed oso.... Dats abt it! BrownMse will be on duty to taken contractor tomrw n to take mre pictures. Hopefully, the solidtop workers will b there to do work!

More updates for Day3 of carpentry! Well, actualli carpentry is all but 3 days lah...hee, so next step wld b solid top b4 touch-up oni.... Finally saw my almost complete kitchen, thk abt 70% completed to me, left 2 panels of drawers missing... Me gonna let pictures do the talking..... 1) View of kitchen frm the kitchen entrance. My kitchen is just a rect shape, so far end is the scvs yard.. Lights on, lamianates is a white (streaky metallic surface) but cant see rite? Hee just looks like matt white nw. Middle portion is steel backsplash but hafnt take protective sticker off yet...cant wait! 2) View of kitchen frm the other end (kitchen sink/scvs yard side) Yup, that hole is for my fridge, hafnt finish yet....and dat copper pipe is the gas pipe (or so hubby says) 3) View of kitchen frm inside scvs yard. Had problems takg this pic cuz the whole scvs yard was full of rubbish The scvs yard full of rubbish, omg... Lights off Cute little cabinet to hide the ugly kitchen pipe.... Initially thot my contractor wld just do a box-up. Was quite surprised to find this little cabinet with door

We started off wif neutral colors for the hse, den realised need sme color to spice it up, in the end, started to buy colorful lights n furniture My fur-rug is abt 3yrs old liao (Labbit lifespan abt 10yrs), so consider adult nw bah.... He's a notti boi, bght him frm a petshop when he was a big baby (abt 4 mths, small tissue box size). Nw he is extra-big tissue box size...

Hee, can we go to ur hse n catnap ur maomaos? Oooh....the sheepcat!

Oops, me pak-jiao la...neber see properly, paiseh... If u dont cook often, then smaller kitchen oso no issue la Me n hubby BrownMse both big-size, need bigger space to move ard but actuali our kitchen nt big oso...lucky got scvs yard...

Mre picture updates! Day 2 of Carpentry.... Sliding door btw MBR n WIW is up. Actual color looks much lighter. Bedrm door on left of pic is supposed to b white (not yet painted) Close-up of Sliding door Picture of Wardrobe 2.5units (abt 2.4m) on length and 1.5unit (abt 1.5m) on width Topview of wardrobe with the lights.... Problem: Lights will need to be shifted though cuz we bght 2 small panel of lightbulbs for the wardrobe, thinking dat we were gonna enclose it wif curtains. But hor, wardrobe came out, "feel" veli small, thinking of not doing curtains enclosure nw....headache headache Open Sesame!! Can see my MBR thgh the opening? Slowly does it.... Fully enclosed! Sliding door is hidden behind wardrobe on left Now here comes the problem...there's a big gap!! Abt 1inch neh, after the sliding door is closed, so aircon will still go thrgh....sigh....why like dat neh? tomrw gonna tekan my contractor liao... See picture below: Middle panel is sliding door. Left hand side is wardrobe Right hand side is Door frame Should I cover up this small piece of wall with the same laminate? Picture of MBR vanity top (half-done oso, like my kitchen neh) My floor is light-grey, wall is light cream so we chose a light cream color for laminates... Heng, seem to match the colors, Phew! Problem....Realised door cannot open fully (ok lah, can open 85% and hit the WC)

I love the feature wall paper!! And the wardrobe n the "floating kitchen"

Update sme pics before my blog accumulates too much dust.... Carpentors started work on Sat, moved in my WIW +vanity + kitchen pieces.... Took photos of the skeletons....they oni managed to set up the skeleton of the kitchen. Me n Brownmse were there to supervise n left in the afternoon on Sat. When we went bac on Sat nite, realised dat the carpentors kinda left after us (they din do much after dat)....hmm.... Picture of my Dressing table. Can see 2 sets of tofu drawers inside? But I realised I din tell the contractor I wantd laminate color, then I see liao, white color inside like a big weird le.... Still thinking, mabbe gonna get smething like velvet pockets to cover the tofu squares...wondering what to put inside the tofu squares oso.... This one's better looking! Cuz its the drawer for the wardrobe. As my wardrobe is a no-doors concept, hence we specifically requested inside all same color as laminate.. My drawers, specifically asked for the rect/square hole for easy opening. My wooden sliding door btw the MBR n WIW, v happi with it !!
