If cooking smell & grease is giving me an issue, I'll add panelling at the entrance then. Grace: Restriction being we can't position the dining area in front of the altar. Thus, we'll have less storage space in the kitchen. hahhahhaha....yes, it is pretty windy and normally when I cook I have to close the service yard n windows leh......if you didnt have door for kitchen then when u switch on the aircon the hall wont be cool leh.... Chipee: Not necessary u have to put your dining table in front of the altar leh - u can put it right at the end of the corner, cant you do that? If not your kitchen really very cramped u know......I put my dining table right to the end though my Guan Yin can still see us having our dinner but isnt it good for our Buddha to bless u even if we are having our meals?

chipee 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2010 Grace, mine isn't open concept kitchen .. though I love to. Tis means the kitchen is a very minimalist setup. Small dining wif 2 - 4 seater, extenable to 6 - 8. I'm positioning the fridge to the left corner of the kitchen entrance. Something slim & tall. Followed by a row of wall hung cabinets for storage. Conceptualizing the kitchen is most daunting due to space & utilization constraint. Challenging indeed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So has Edmund workers install all the toilet accessories for you? How about the lights? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chipee 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2010 Tat's great, KSJL. I'm oso going for an undermount sink. It was two bowl initially but Edmund advice it'll be nicer with a single. So had it changed, more pricey for the single bowl .. felt a bit heartache when I changed it LOL. Have you went to LUSH? I've not been there but I think bluewater had got some things from them. Their products are quite interesting .. http://www.lush-lush.com/home.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For lightings - go to Balestier Light Arcade looks for Jane and her service is really good! Are you going to have downlight or LED lights? For toilet/kitchen accessories - go Poh Joo at Jln Besar and also you can go to IMM Song Cho 3rd level which I bought the Welmi brand for all my toilet towel bars n kitchen since they are guarantee for lifetime rust but of course you pay abit more but i think it is worth it. There is another brand call Kris which is also lifetime rust guarantee which you can get it from Hoe Kee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For instant, my toilet cabinet colour Edmund chosen for us and it turns up not nice at all and he also admit doesnt look nice but what to do, done already.... No, I didnt go to LUSH as they are pretty high end leh and I dont wish to spend soooooooo much $$$$$ now. Maybe 3 years down the road, I hack my toilets wall n floor tiles and make the place much nicer...hehehhe....or maybe 5 years down the road I sell Pinnacle and either downgrade or upgrade...hehehhehe...so minimum spending now as doesnt worth to throw in too much $$$ if we intend to sell later as others might not like our concept, get me? I always believe that no brand doesnt mean that they are no good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
