The NEW kitchen

Pinkpetter, i like ur kitchen.. Simple and clean look...

Thanks!!

ya me too like ur clean clean kitchen...its very nice hor dont hv top kitchen cabinet.....why i never think of that when do my reno ler...haizzz

Never mind next time you will have the chance. but not having top cabinets means that we really had to be heartless when we packed. THROW THROW THROW! Otherwise we wouldn't be able to fit everything in.

haha Mom thinks that having the whole wall in stainless steel is overkill (too shiny) for her. So we refrained from that. Dad wanted to protect the wall areas near the counter... so in the end we figured this out.

Wah! I love ur kitchen too! Looks really spacious and big w/out the top cabinets. Would love to do this if I don't need storage space.

Very nice transformation. Now I really wonder if I will regret not doing my wash area.

What happened to the cute porcelain doggie in ur "before" MBR toilet?

hehe ya it's only worth it if you don't need the space. If you have plenty of things then no point cos all your things will clutter up and still wun look nice lor. Anyway having extra storage space is always GOOD!

The little doggie ah? haha probably got "hauled" away too!

Yup. that was one of my major concerns also. But not having the top cabinets... is a good way of getting my mom to throw away stuff she doesn't need.

Ya Ikea is like that. They don't have the full range of colours available at all times....

More pictures...

The Black MIrror TV console finally came yesterday... Now I notice that the wall behind the TV is quite empty. Need some sprucing up.

This is the light in our living room (I've shown before) but for 4th time, I've heard of people buying the exact light at twice or thrice the amount we bought it at... mm

One of the happiest things that happened today was that I managed to get a standing lamp that is round and matches the light in the balcony. We need it to be put next to the TV console as the FSM says that we need something rounded in that area.

The relax area next to the sofa. All of us really appreciate this place as it is very windy all times of the day and is perfect for reading newspapers and doing stuff.

We got the whole set from Ikea (pretty cheap) and our contractor put it together for us FOC. hehehe

Lastly... this...

The mini altar my dad designed. I'm really glad it turned out very well and matches everything else in the house without sticking out like a sore thumb. We have an LED spotlight shining on it 24/7.

We bought the living room light at $140. Apparently my contractor told me that his other customer bought it for $300. mmm it was quite shocking to find out the the price can differ so much.

Yup after much contemplation we don't have window grilles. Cos we're all adults living here and no grandkids for my parents yet so we got rid of the grilles on this side of the house. However on the other side where the bedrooms are, we kept the grilles.

YES!! I also exclaimed how cute it was when the carpenter walked in with it. hehe Thanks Thanks!

Wah .. Think you dad's idea for a mini alter with LED lights is a good and practical one.

Ur new white doors are painted by ur contractor?At first, was thinking of painting mine too but was discouraged and told that there will be obvious brush marks but urs looks good..

And the kitchen looks real clean and spacious without the hood and the top cabinets.

you found the standing lamp already ah~~yippeee~~~
