Hubby says can kiv reno till after QingMing. So we have more time to think/scout around. If we are to start before QingMing, latest gotta start by end of next wk.

skywolf 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 But hor... more time does not = more relax lehz.Apple tempted me... said 6ft wardrobe not enuff for 2 person coz she is using 6 ft herself liaoz. Unless I do the room door like her, swing outside towards right coz it's a wall. Hubby sugg swing left. I told him crazy, wait ppl walking out from kitchen bang into room door. But that whd mean more $. Dilemma dilemma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunBun 5 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) Apple got more barang barang I suspect that why her wardrobe only suited for one person. My mbr wardrobe is about 6.4 ft in width & almost 7 ft in height leh but still ok for me and my hubby. I initially wanted bigger wardrobe 'cos scare not enough for us but due to the wall length and the light switch position, we'd can only go for at least 6.5ft width & close to or at least 7ft in height. Otherwise if light switch is not in the way, I get bigger wardrobe. My hubby has MORE shirts than my clothing pieces if I ever count that is. My clothes haven't fill up the clothes bar.

skywolf 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 Nope, i nv met her before... Erm, dunno what you meant... got pic mah?Bun Bun: i went to measure last weekend... max is abt 200cm if door's to be kept same direction. Perhaps swing in towards right (instead of left now) may yield some precious inches.... Got a stupid beam there though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunBun 5 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 Gendon? Is there a pic of it in her blog if it still exists?Sky, you got to decide which one you'd want leh? 'cos everyone got different preferences so I can't really offer you much help on this. The thing is which one you'd really want, then go for it if you can.

applefreak 1 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 look at it this waythe cost of the open shelves + laminated door is = a shelving unit with doors :deal: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skywolf 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 Hmm... the mbr layout has a vacant space behind the door right? That's why when you swing inwards @ a straight line, the space behind will be wasted. Bcoz for mine, there's no empty gap behind. It's flushed against the wall... Hmm... nice nice... too bad current doors had ridges, cannot laminate over. Hmm...

skywolf 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 Posted as per Bunbun's request. Is there a way to skip false ceilings or cornices and yet the wiring tubing (or whatsoever they are called) is not messy and obiang? I'm not a fan of them and was wondering if there's other ways... Anyone? @ page 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) aiya i went to page 1 looking at your flr plan, your MBR is long but narrowmaybe you want to put your wardrobe elsewhere?very tricky indeedi assume your bed will be at the wall opposite the toilet, next to the bedroom door?
