Dream Home @ Clementi

[Smallboy 0]

no no, I can understand!! cos it looks really nice with gaps like that, just that as usual my storage freak side took over and ask, won't the space goes to waste. hmmm that will also mean to achieve the nice nice look hor must be super neat and tidy to segregate the colours and also must fold the clothes boutique style.

my grandeur of a dream is always far from reality ........ esp when my untidy self takes over. I can tell you the super mess when we move in......hahahaha...... i bet my last dollar it will never be boutiquw style except during the first day of Chinese New Year or day 1 of Spring cleaning. Other than that, the rest of the 364 days will be reality of real life living.

THis i can comprehend My house will be super neat on day 1 of CNY too! Or maybe it lasts for 2 days cos we will be out visiting...other than that...my mom will always "aiyo-ing" when she sees the mess....

this time with my mom around on weekdays, I think my house will look neater for sure

But I love your layout...can i pop by anytime if I am at my MIL's place?

smallboy, your WIW, can u take a picture full length? sorry too much of a greenhorn to understand this

[fondue_ 1]

From wendy:

I planned it that way. My hubby went "how come got such a big gap/lobang?"... I wanted a gap so that clothes (of different colours) can peep thru the gap.... looks quite nice. Space is not lost cos I can still stack folded clothes to the end (of the gap) Again this is one of my weird vain plans........... :) cannot understand, right?

hi wendy, you are not weird, i've 2 such drawers in my wardrobe too.

The interior is a wood grain laminate (slighty grey-brown).......... i've not heard of PVC or Polyken.

For WIW, uncle Soon gave us 'colour' to choose from......... my other regular wardrobe in other rooms are made of white laminate (the normal type)..... I mean interiors.

Aubrey, the pics show full lenght. Maybe you thought my WIW is like Fondue in term of that 12ft length.. no la... that's a luxury. I only have a L-shaped one.... quite small.

i think my idea of WIW is quite backdated. yours is it like, u open a door to walk into it? cos my idea is an entire space dedicated to it..

for fondue's, maybe cos i was there when the wardrobe door was still not up so i cannot grasp the concept.

you will see it, then you get the full picture.

BTW, can I change our open house to Friday afternoon (1 May) instead? Like 2pm.

cos Sat it is a bit rush for us as my daughter tuition is changed....... due to 1 May public holiday.

PM me.... can?

maybe let me describe what i feel about smallboy's wardrobe as what i see n think of it....

its tucked away into the "wall" and forms a L shape wardrobe.

only one person can inside comfortably but imo its hard to find things when u are too near the wardrobe.

potential risk of getting stuffy and warm while searching for clothes in there.

....becos my current wardrobe is cornered by a computer table parrallel to it. If i open both doors, I cant get out and it get really really warm.

Anyway the amount of space to "hang" clothes is very limited...big clothing may overpower space availability for all others

One thing I like about the wardrobe is the door....No bottom tracks = No trapped dust

Bin Bin,

Thanks for the feedback. We did consider mounting a normal wardrobe at the same area, but the idea of having a wiw is just too tempting. We trade off the ease of finding clothes with having many drawers (8/10 in total). No sure about the warm because we probably won't spend too much time searching for clothes (sorrie, I can't say the same about my wifey). I will feedback on the practicality of wiw after we move in and settle down.

i kept thinking whether i can maximise the space by doing a U shape in there in order to have more hanging space.. what do you think? I am doing a 2-way sliding door thus I can enter from both ways.

I went up to take a peek yesterday, and I love the idea of your study area hiding at one corner. For me that corner that you are using for your study will house my alter. I'll probably have to tuck an ungly computer desk in one corner of my MBR till my sis vacate her room for me to convert it into a study room...

I consider U shaped before.... but will be the same problem cos that space there is limited. It is really up to you, if you want 2 doors. cos still, 1 door can be open at 1 time. Unless you want swing door. But again, it knocks to our main door to the MBR.

With what we have planned, we are comfortable with that space. Cos definitely can't hack walls to make way for WIW... that's a luxury I can't afford with limited space.

As for the study desk....... yes... think think so hard to squeeze a space for it. Cos my other 2 rooms are for my girls and my mom .Where got space for study room??? That's why even my books are out in the dining room 12ft cabinets. I am glad we design it behind that display cabinet. Flowing from the TV console.
