Spending money to get good stuff is no big deal... spending less money to get equally good stuff.... now that's an accomplishment!! Hehe Hmm... do I detect another MJ fan? Very tai tai indeed. Haha... hope you are feeling better today, Ranval. Btw Monkey... if you are installing a rainshower above a bathtub... just make sure you get a long enough extension pipe because bath mixers are fixed at a lower position compared to shower mixers. Take proper measurements and ask shop guy before you buy. Edited April 3, 2008 by Max383 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have initially identifiy all the needs and wants but both of us always have the urge to go for the wants. My mahjong table will go into one of the BR or Study Room. The Service we will cater the usual stuff like WM and maybe a wet kitchen. Was initially toying with the idea of doing ironing at the Service but my wife don't really like the concept. !!Actually... if on a budget... it will test your creativity even more!

Bought this unit because this is the last 3 units left in CCK for the WIS and veri near my in law house. My father was telling me that big units will gain in value in the future as houses are getting smaller, so decided to take the plunge and go for it. Also like the fact there is no afternoon sun.The flower pattern wall very windy as it is facing north and unblock. Unfortunately the holes in btn the flowers can get really dirty so after alot of deliberation decided to seal it off from the inside. !! A bathtub in the service yard. Hmm that's a novelty idea.

Monkey 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) Here is my furniture plan. Will hack the BR3 wall to push out into the "corridor" to make it bigger.The sliding panel into BR3 and MBR will also be a feature wallStudy Room(BR 2) will be accesible via BR3 and MBR with a dual locking mechanism door (a simple latch on one side) to ensure complete privacyWill hack the kitchen side wall to turn it into an open concept kitchen Edited August 11, 2009 by Monkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max383 1 Report post Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) Hmmm..... on first look, your floorplan will still mean you will probably have less than 10ft of actual distance from your sofa to your 40" TV. May not be that comfortable watching TV and also makes that area cramp, not consistent with your entire house which is a big show of space! Have you considered switching places of your TV and your display cabinets? Then allow the TV to swing left and right so that both your living room and tea area can watch TV if necessary? You should then change your L-shaped sofa to have the "L" part on the right side instead. Idea?Good idea to eliminate the bedroom walkway... I never liked walkways cause I think it is a waste of space. Looks like this big place of yours is currently only designed for two.... envious man. Wow... double sink kitchen... very luxurious indeed! Edited April 4, 2008 by Max383 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow... double sink kitchen... very luxurious indeed! Thanks for yr feedback. According to my ID the placement of the TV and the display cabinet is to ensure a cont flow in design and to have 3 distinct areas. IE Tea Corner, Display Gallery and TV area. I will also be setting up a PC with Wireless Keyboard and mouse control from the sofa so will have a connection drop if it's too far away.ID was also telling me the TV swivel is not too good cause when the TV move left or right the cable tend to spoil faster as it is twisted. Dun know how true is it though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly a replaceable item, and should not be a factor when considering more permenant thing like the layout.One thing I have just noticed... your WIW has created an articfical walkway in your master bedroom into the bed area. Kinda waste of space, no? People who enter can also immediately see the side of your room TV... which may include ugly wires. Have you consider instead of an L-shaped WIW.... have it in two parrallel wardrobes. Meaning, when you enter the masterbed room... you straight away enter the WIW..with one wardrobe facing the door. The WIW will lead you to both the bathroom and the bed at the other end near "D". That should give you more space in your bed area, no?Just toying with different ideas.... please don't take it negatively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Max383, as for the TV there should be no wire as it will be fully concealed. The DVD player will also be place in a special way will post some pict soon to illustrate. The TV will be an entirely flat profile. My ID had also suggested the initial config that you hav mention but my wife find it a bit weird. We settled for this design after plenty of discussion. P.s. Dun worry Max383, I am keen on all feedback as after all this forum is for discussion and ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
