euph0bear 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) I also leave my toilet intact.To save cost.I did change both the toilet doors to PD doors. With the current door, opening it leaves very little space inside. And also imagine if you have a tempered glass shower screen there, I think the glass will crack if slam the door a few times.I'm only having a shower curtain by the way. !!Day 3 Progress - KitchenMmm... Nice kitchen toilet...Kitchen cabinet kerbs.Fridge kerb. Edited March 14, 2008 by euph0bear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
euph0bear 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 I always had the trouble of thinking where to place my dining table in the already so small living area. Until I saw Ptro's post of his kitchen layout in the Blk 79 thread yesterday. By the way, my original kitchen cabinet was straight all the way, not L-shaped like the picture posted earlier.Ptro's Kitchen LayoutI immediately called up my Derek and asked whether has his workers done up the kitchen cabinet kerbs yet. Sadly he said yes but I decided to discuss with him regarding this issue. Met him up yesterday at my flat and told him I wanted to have my dining table in the kitchen. He said that if I wanted to do something like Ptro's, he would have to hack the already done kerb (thus spend more money). So I brainstormed a few ideas with him on the spot. Finally, a brilliant idea struck me. I decided to use half of my bottom kitchen cabinet as my dining table, meaning a bar top type table (think along the line of a sushi bar where the customer sits beside the conveyor belt, not the table one) between the fridge and the bottom kitchen cabinet. I will keep the adjustable chairs under the bar top type table when not needed. I would have to do an L-shaped bottom kitchen cabint in order to compromise the space used for the dining top.Derek said that it might work and he would draw out the kitchen plan and discussed with me at a later date. Will post the drawings from Derek once I get my hands on them too.Finally another thing off my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lately raining a lot so didn't visit my flat under renovation as much as I wanted to. Tomorrow will go up again and see the progress of the tiling and take some photos back too.One very power thing is that I haven't even pay my ID a single cent yet and he started work liao. My renovation loan, submitted 2 weeks ago with OCBC, is still in progress. Hope that my ID don't mind. Edited March 14, 2008 by euph0bear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe all kitchen has a toilet for Blk 79, so Ptro should be eating beside the toilet. I don't mind eating beside the toilet, somemore my back will be facing the toilet when eating so no issue.For the stools, I will get those non slippery seats one. Everytime my GF and I go to Fiesta and eat, she always have the phobia of slipping down the seats due to it surface. When there are guests, I will get a table and put it in the living room as a makeshift dining table. That is what I can do for the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
