Finally, the big reveal......the close to finished dry-kitchen! Wah words really cannot express how long we have waited for this kitchen to be finished. Must say we are really pleased with the results! We chose to clad the kitchen cabinetry with stainless steel for easy maintenance and a clean modern look. The live-edge wood slab counter-top was paired with a white quartz counter-top for an elegant clean look, and we thought it was a nice contrast between the steel and the natural wood slab. Also, we love the island hood! Huge but good looking piece of machine. We also chose to install a roller shutter in a section of the cabinetry to store those appliances which we use on a daily basis. There's a power point inside, so we don't have to take the appliances out if we choose to - less clutter on the work space! Good for storing your fruit juicer, coffee machine, toaster, rice cooker, etc:)

PM sent!

A shot of our twin bucida trees and the outdoor deck. For those interested, decking was made with yellow balau Our door sign!

Last few steps to go before moving in! Exciting times:) our cabinetry under the staircase is nearing completion and our ceiling fan at the living room is installed! Our tv wall is finally up...but no tv yet sigh Pebbles around the pool also in! With some fallen frangipani flowers for that Bali feel hahaha Another shot of the completed slide hehe Update on our small but cosy master toilet

PM sent!

night view!

Also a WIP picture of our main gate with the fake grass partially installed! We also decided to paint our boundary walls in grey rather than white in the hopes that any dirt/soil marks on the wall will look less obvious.

The motorized blinds for the curtain wall has also been installed! For the motor, we went with some German brand called elero cos it's supposedly quieter and has better customer service than somfy. Anyways, here's how it looks from the inside and out.

Thanks! Can't wait to see it all fully furnished myself Just to share what we are considering to use for a feature tv console wall in the attic - coconut husk! Quite excited by the possibilities. They also have rings made out of bamboo!

Work has also finally started on our cement floor and we like how it has turned out so far. While we still have 2 more coats to go, we think the black cement is looking pretty good so far!

It's been 2 months since we've obtained our TOP/CSC but sad to say we've yet to move in cos the contractor made quite a number of big mistakes with the finishings and have to redo a fair bit of the house. But it finally seems like we can move in by end Sep! Fingers crossed! On a happier note, our long awaited mini zen garden has finally been installed! And we're really happy to be able to share our joy here!

Ahh...we have finally progressed to installation of cabinetry! And here's a picture of our long awaited master wardrobe, so excited! We had the aircon hidden behind some grills made out of hard nyatoh wood and painted grey to match our laminate. Think it turned out quite well!

Initial filling of the pool

Minor updates on the interior of the rooms. Laminate on TV wall for bedroom 1 up! See if you can spot the toilet door haha The intercom system: Finally some work starting on my toy display room: glass accordian doors in master bedroom up! Love how clean they look The open up to a small reflection pool with a planter box: suar wood blocks for toilet installed! On hindsight we should have opted for a black toilet bowl (if there was one!) our tap for the bath! The future outdoor shower area:

Their showroom is at 23 Mosque St:)

$2.3k is just for the wood slab. I think the blocks cost ard $300 each.

The shop is called Art of Tree. You can find them on Facebook. Look for Jeffery, very nice chap to work with. They will pass you the contact for a delivery company to ship the wood to Singapore. Better you head down to KL to choose as they have a wide selection. My cost was $2.3k

Thanks! Pool is 1.5m deep I think, need to check plans to be sure. Now still waiting for wall and floor finishes to be done as well as carpentry to be installed...still a while more to go sigh...

Long hiatus, but we have finally made it to TOP inspection! Huge milestone and here's hoping we get the cert asap. Some picture of the place cleaned up for TOP. Still quite a fair bit to be done before we can move in though sigh

Thanks! At the moment the gradient is still abit too steep...so still adjusting! Hahaha not sure if its good enough to be featured on any magazine but will definitely post pics here if it is! TOP should be end of this month, can't wait!

And we finally found the wood slab for our kitchen counter top. Had to drive all the way to KL, but the quality and price is worth the effort! Suar wood block for bathroom vanity top. Plan to install a metal bar at the concave area to hang hand towel Progress on the slide laminate choices for wardrobe doors and carcass

Some updates: exterior trellis up Sunken bath up Hardwood floor up

Small update to the spiral staircase! Ribbon up!

mock-up for spiral staircase up! Apparently to check headroom clearance before permanent welding is done. False ceiling for MBR and living area up!

Thanks for the suggestions! To be honest, we were inclined towards white as well but have concerns over how to keep it clean (jeans rubbing off, ink marks or spills). The fabric can't be removed for washing, so its very difficult to maintain. The next choice was the grey combi in the 3rd pic...but then we have concerns about how grey the whole living room feels (with the cement floor and concrete dining set and whatnot). Ugh...headache man. If anyone have experience with white sofas that they can share, please do! Anyways, so we did some more shopping over the weekend. We chanced upon this B&O A9 speaker that was on display at a furniture store and fell in love with it. Apart from the killer looks (to us anyways), the sound actually filled the whole furniture showroom which was pretty **** huge. Turns out the price was eye popping as well...sigh. And the piece that was on display at the furniture store was a limited edition with a denim cover and brass trim which was sexy as **** and the sales rep was adamant that B&O don't do sales. Thankfully we didn't buy that sales rep talk and googled only to find that B&O was having an annual sale at their showroom last weekend! We just took that as a sign for us to splurge on the **** thing and drove down on Sunday. We managed to get the display set (black version) at 20% discount! Now happily shopping for custom covers at this 3rd party site: https://www.skiniplay.com/7-beoplay-a9 We were thinking of choosing some pop arts/anime designs to give some color to the living room hope it works out well!
