JandG 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Hi Flameday You are Fernvale Vista too? You already renovating? Ya lor, I was absolutely "disgusted" when I saw the kitchen on site. So miserable, think i will suffocate working in there ! Was thankful my layout is such I can extend kitchen, those who has their entrance door next to next to kitchen can't do that. So heng ah No chef lah, ha ha, still trying hard to be one Hi Froggy, We have similar kitchen layout over in Fernvale Court and we can't extend cos the entrance is next to the kitchen! Workspace is really pathetic but it's still ok if you are a light cooker.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Workspace is really pathetic but it's still ok if you are a light cooker.. ya, absolutely know what u mean. actually not that i am a heavy cooker, just do simple meals for my family, but to me, foyer is just a link to walk from door to living room, so don't need so big. better have a more functional kitchen iin case got mood, can cook big time and invite relatives over. actually now headache whether i should have more worktop space or more storage space? Despite the extension, still like not enough. Maybe I have been spoilt, have such a BIG kitchen in my current flat! So sad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Storage wise you can always re-organise your existing stuff, or throw old stuff away to create space for new stuff in the cupboards.. But once you allocate your workspace that's it.. you can't add more worktop even if you want to.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flamedav 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2010 Yea I agree with JandG too. The kitchen is actually very small already. If add in more and more cabinets you will feel like you are cooking in a sumarine.

Hi thanks, Insane. but seriously, these drawing are not hard to draw, just start trying and very soon you can draw even nicer than these "kiddy' and unproportional ones. You got floor plan already right, so can start sketching away ... I starte my first draft when I booked my flat 2+ years ago, can you imagine how kiasu I can be?

I am one of those that cannot In the end we opt for storage space instead of table top since we own a fair share of stuff. ahahhaa My kitchen is super cramped but what to do?

froggy 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2010 today did more recee. went down to blum to find out more. Saw their brochure/price list previously and was quite confused by the amount of variations there are in what I thought was such a straight forward thing - drawer and cabinets! Finally now I understood why everyone says that blum is expensive. But actually the hinges are ok, it's the drawer and runners system that costs alot, and of course the best is servos, but priciest too! will prob go for carpentry drawers but just add blum runners with blumotion to cut cost. those of you who have had blum, can i check what kinds of things you put in the 30kg / 50kg? For the full extension at 500mm, the difference in price between the 30kg and 50kg is about $11, so I am tempted to just do all 50kg load. Anyone of you used very wide drawers? Like 700 to 900mm? Just loved the organising system they have, but can't afford! btw, read somewhere that the pricelist had not been available for a while? If you need that, go down and grab one before they run out again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normally the first drawer will be used to put cutlery etc. Don think need to get 50kg one. Rest of the cabinets also blum, eh basically i blumed the whole house!

If first drawer is for cutlery, what is the height of the other two drawers below? i wanted to put crockery below the cutlery one, if two drawers, like too small to put much, if 1 drawer, seems quite high??
