the cabinet doors and drawers are and the quartz top

the oven is up.... waiting the

nightmare... living in it and doing the reno....lol no choice, the bedroom bath room is too small, sacrifice the full basin to a corner to save space for the divided shower area. found this at Hoe Kee, it is hiding in a corner at the showroom

Sketch up is great software to use.... very easy for anyone its the same at doing real drawing using axis XYZ to create the 3 D but instead of using it.... I still preferred faster old school marker pen and paper to draw... yes read up more and see ideas that you can adapt to yr nest.

Again the existing grey tile wall will be conceal by the dinning wall...

a sketch of my dinning area... thinking of a casual makan area or chill.... which why i cam out with this

I have a glass sliding door dividing the dinning/ kitchen from the hall.... so the aircon will contain at the hall. notice the ceiling above the dinner area- I have installed the ceiling fan too.

the raise platform for the dinning dividing the hall and wet kitchen. the guys installed the base with reinforcement structure under the platform and finish the top with another layer of 1/2" thick timber

all the kitchen cabinet carcass installed I choose the grey finish for the interior of kitchen drawer and cabinet. u would notice the grey tile that are on the wall- those are my existing wall which i didnt hack. I will over lay spray paint white glass onto the grey wall.

basically the main texture laminate is the wood finish with white gloss laminate for the kitchen doors and drawers and the kitchen top is quartz is star wars....lol... some blink blink

next stop the Kitchen.... my earlier sketch on how the kitchen will look- intend to cut it to half and to have the dinning area raise platform and the other half as wet kitchen.

if you compare to plain painted walll, yes it cost more- need the carpenter to prepare the wall- you cant lay the mirror direct on the bare concrete wall. I will get back to you again on the glass/ mirror contractors.

after the mirror is up...

Next moving on the long wall next to the main door.... instead of keeping it plain painted wall. I use the mirror again to create the feeling of a bigger hall- Same I apply the same smoke tinted mirror. the carpenter was telling me " wah lau.... the wall you have are slanted.... lol , he has to do adjustment in order to get the wall aligned right to receive the mirror wall he has place riaser to fit the void and secure

Once the shoe cabinet storage is I filled it me and by shoes ... on the left is the divider partition from entrance to the hall... offer some privacy the other side are for storing the umbrella The electrical DB to conceal at the top cabinet

let it be light..... the hall ceiling cove light and down light are installed.... right after that... they move on to the shoe cabinet

and the rest of the TV wall with bottom storage is up//// I match the base to a brown matt wood finish. from picture it looks like the wall is plain black- but actual it's a texture finished. same as the vitrine display surface. u might notice the original ceramic floor in this picture.... which I will be changing to a vinyle tile over laying it

After the bedroom... move on to the living hall... Recap again on my sketch.... to have TV wall with display vitrine by the side and the actual installation in progress- if you notice the white distress wood at the top beam.... that is my original boxup done 18 years ago. It's actually pine wood.... and 50% water with white paint mixed and paint over... after it's dried... sand off to have the weathered look. over 18 years it aged and have the off white tint/ I decided to keep it and to marry the old design to the new.

envy envy envy.... I wish i have that big house to play with the design////.... keep the picture coming

finally my bedroom smoked tinted mirror is up.... I like the tinted feel.... gives the mystic look-

Thanks May here's are some picture after the glass divider door is installed.

I must say .... it is a struggle to do the renovation while u still living in it... and manage the amount of boxes to move around from phases to phases the void part of of bed wall ... I am putting smoke tinted mirror to add depth and dimension for the bedroom this photos shows one with and one without mirror
