xmac2006 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2008 applefreak: I always thought my cat had unique markings. It's nice to hear that she might have family out there as well! Will let her know... pinkpetter: we went warm with the kitchen colour scheme because with everything so modern-looking, we needed a natural tone to soften an otherwise cold, hard-edged design. The light chocolatey-hazelnut was a good complement to the dark laminate flooring just outside in the dining room. jessie and rdnest: we ourselves were very impressed with the preliminary 3D drawings! But because the design is so polished, we're a little afraid that we'll have to change our sloppy habits and pay more attention to housework so that we can continue to deserve living in a house like this! hehe! As for the progress of today, ladies and gentlemen... we have a floor! Previously in garish pink granite, now in a soothing wenge laminate: And even the raised platform in the MBR is finally covered. We're almost ready for naptime! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2008 Mmm agree. that's well thought of. Your floor looks fantastic! Such a big diff from the granite! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranval9 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) It really helps when the dog looks like this: And the cat looks like this: And the other two have each other to play with: So peaceful coexistence is actually quite possible. Best thing about them is that they're all quite independent and don't require a lot of personal attention from us. In exchange for free room and board, we can pick them up anytime we like and use them as pet therapy to relieve stress. oh my goodness .. your darlings are all so lovely ... =) congrats for your reno process .. more pics pls ~ Edited October 23, 2008 by ranval9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xmac2006 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2008 WAHHHHHHHHH I love the MBR! with that divider there there is extra privacy! pinkpetter: I think you'll be thrilled to see the divider already going up in the MBR. With it and the raised platform, we discovered the space could not accommodate our current queen bed. So we sold the bed and got ourselves a futon instead. Here's the divider under construction: Meanwhile, in the guest room, we have replaced the old wardrobe doors (left) with a new set of doors that are more flush against the wall: And a couple of views of the kitchen carpentry, with cabinets and work surface: Oh, and mmycheng: I never expected to live with so much brown either -- even the curtains we chose today were shades of brown -- but it is cosy and comfortable. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xmac2006 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2008 what is a futon?pinkpetter: A futon is a mattress that is placed directly on the floor without a bedframe. A Japanese mattress, basically. Although, we're not so fancy... we're just going to put our Seahorse mattress on the floor and be happy with that! when thunder rain hor.... your pets got place to hide? =) i realised my MIL de old cat... every tiime before the stomp, will hide in one corner, or under bed de...My cats aren't afraid of thunder. Maybe because they can keep each other company. But yeah, dog gets a bit freaked out and will want to jump into bed with us. Hmmm... problem... Haha...my dog will start barking at lightning and thunder...he can't stand then... he siao one lah! Brown can be uite a nice colour when mixed and matched properly... can give a resort-like feel. Hehe Oh yeah, may I ask where you bought your curtains from and how much for the stuff you're getting?mmycheng: Yup, been on enough vacations to appreciate a modern resort design. Um, curtains our ID introduced to us. An elderly gentleman called, Mr Tay. Curtains for living room, study and two bedrooms, and one Roman blind for MBR side window, he quoted below 1.4k. nice carpentry stuff so nice to have space in your room for the divider mine is only big enough for a bed and a built in wardrobe and nothing else applefreak: it's going to be a tight squeeze for us too in the MBR. Everything fits... just barely! And a couple of pix before the long Diwali weekend focusing on the study, which is only now getting some attention: The bookshelf which I promise to keep neat: *crosses fingers and toes And a low cabinet by the window, just nice for a spot of casual reading, or to catch a pleasant sunset view: The kitchen workspace is also getting some skin over its skeleton: To all our Hindu friends and homeowners, happy Diwali!

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2008 Ahhhh got it. I think a futon would fit in the design more anyways. I like that low shelf under the window thing. will want to do that for my room also hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xmac2006 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) Due to some quirk in the buying and selling of our place, today's essentially moving day even though our reno's not quite done. Final cleanup and wash by the ID is scheduled for Friday, but we're already moving the majority of our worldly possessions in already. Our current place will be taken over first thing Thursday morning, so we'll be sort of homeless for about 24 hours. Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find a comfortable park bench to settle on for the night and we'll do our very best to keep a lookout for the park rangers! Oh well, here's the progress so far: The study is looking quite like a formal office. If I'm not careful, the wife will kick me out of here and start a proper business of her own: At least I'll still have my books: The store room door's suddenly disappeared behind this wall: Suddenly, I have the inexplicable urge to watch "The Fast and The Furious": Or maybe I'll just settle for a sunset view out the window: Edited October 29, 2008 by xmac2006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
