I'm not sure which plastic you are referring to. The LED is hidden inside a frame (with the [ shape).

oh yup, I'm refering to the frame... that one done by your contractor?

Hi,

I like your reply. Your sound philosophical!

I like your glass wall.

Now the tough part: hacking the wall and installing a glass wall, how much does it cost?

My ID quoted me about $4000 to hack the wall btw k and sy, do flooring, tile, etc.

I have shelved the plan.

If you don't mind, please pm me the cost so that I won't be ripped off again.

Many thanks.

1) there are many ways of seemingly having a large kitchen. the most expensive method: get a new house with a larger kitchen. the cheapest method: introduce light to the room to make it appear larger than it actually is. lesson pick up from interior design 101: dark rooms always feel smaller than rooms that are well lit. since the amount of natural light in the kitchen is pathetic in the first place, the wall was hacked to let in more natural light. in addition, the glass wall allows the eyes to roam beyond the walls, eliminating a 'visual stop'. hence, the eyes tell the brain that the kitchen is bigger than it really is because there isn't a 'full stop' to the space, and vice versa when viewed from the other way round (p/s: mirror works on the same theory and does the same trick to the eyes).

2) the flat is designed with a simple mantra, less is more. same goes for the kitchen and that's why you see limited storage space. i believe it's human nature to gather stuff and honestly, 80% of the stuff stored would probably never see the light at the end of the tunnel. if you try limiting yourself to 10 items that you absolutely cannot live without, you'll realise how much stuff you never use but simply want to hoard. imho, when you have more space, you only fill it up with more useless stuff. so, having less space cause you to think about what you need and what you want, as opposed to what to hide where.

sorry for the slightly late reply. for the questions on cost, i'll have to refer to my invoices/receipts. got to take a while, please bear with me.

abupapa: chair was bought from comfort furniture. it's a replica of the pierre paulin orange slice chair. you can refer to their website for their showroom address: http://www.comfortfurniture.com.sg.

Foong: i don't think my work on the wall cost $4k, although i need to check to confirm. please bear in mind that there's a difference in cost between an id and a contractor.

thanks for the compliments.

i got to check the receipts and they are hidden somewhere now. iirc, the table isn't expensive, but the chairs are slightly more expensive than the normal dining chairs. i bought both items from comfort furniture, along with my orange slice lookalike in the living room.

Nice wiw. no wardrobe in mbr?

nope. i had boxed up the original entrance to this bedroom and opened a doorway to link up with the master bedroom. in future, if there's a need for this room to be used (as a bedroom), i'll shift the wardrobe to the master (or build a new one). pictures of the master bedroom will be up shortly.

Hi floppy,

Bedroom 3 is the study and walk-in wardrobe.

The original door was boxed up and a new door linking the master bedroom and bedroom was opened up:

I have approx. 3ft of standing space within the wardrobe. Very comfortable.
