sheepz 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) The kitchen: A simple kitchen. We fitted the whole kitchen with Blum system and it does makes a lot of difference with those cabinet without. They are quiet when closing compared to the other cabinet doors I have in the house. I'm going to get the ID back again to replace all of those with blum as well. I always wanted to get a red SMEG retro fridge, but the ID suggested that after awhile we will get tired of the colour in the kitchen. And look at all these colourful smeg Hob. :dribble: Then again after research and feedback from my friend who lives in Hongkong that has the hob in their apartment said that its not suitable for Asian cooking. In the end, we forgo the colourful smeg hob and got normal, stainless steel hob from Fujitoh We did our common toilet the same as our MBR toilet. I love the tiles as they dry up very quickly.

As such, in order for us to use every available space, we got the ID to construct storage space in the bed headboard. I always hate having headboard, it has no function at all just collect dust on the fabric. We saw this wonderful pullout headboard design from Ikea. We know Ikea has great design but their furniture won't last long. After getting the ID down to ikea and have a look, he modified the design and gave us pull-out drawers instead of pulling out the whole unit. We also changed the initial proposal of a walk-in wardrobe at the vanity area to a divider. This allowed wind and sunlight from the only small window in the room to come into our bedroom.

And not forgetting it comes with remote control!!! The vanity area. We got the ID to construct a storage area behind the mirror, to store all our things. And here is my miserable MBR toilet: Edited February 27, 2011 by sheepz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tangerinez 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2011 For our bedroom, because the toilet is so small, we have no choice but to have a vanity outside the toilet. Initially, it was a walk-in wadrobe but I felt that the wadrobe going to block the light & wind from the one only window in the bedroom. The theme for the bedroom is going to be cozy. nice! i'm doing this for our master bedroom as well. is your bed queen or king size? we want a king sized bed and contractor says there is not enough space to fit the wardrobe and suggests to hack the storeroom. but i want my storeroom! sigh.

Ours is a queen-size bed. I don't think it can fit a king. The walking space is just enough for one. I think you have to think about next time when you or your wife is pregnant, it will be very difficult to get out from bed. This is what I have left with a queen-size bed: The walk space between the bed & divider The walk space between the bed & wardrobe Yeah, having a storeroom is important!! Don't hack away. Anyway queen-size bed is comfortable enough. Edited February 27, 2011 by sheepz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway queen-size bed is comfortable enough. me and husband to be are actually quite small sized but my current queen size bed doesn't seem to be spacious enough. mostly cos he takes up so much space (like sleeping in the middle of the bed lol) and as a result i don't get good sleep. so king size it'll have to be (yea we are spoilt tat way hee) and maybe it will come in handy when babies grow to being toddlers and want to snuggle together once in a while. we've not really calculated the space but I am hoping it might be feasible still because your bedroom is 4.1m in length and ours is a little big longer at 4.8m. *fingers crossed* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tangerinez 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2011 oops. just saw your pics. thank you so much! ok... now i have to think twice cos the walking space is really small! such a dilemma... if i give up the idea of shifting the sink out, my bathroom will be too cramped. if i give up the idea of having a wardrobe in the master bedroom (which was our initial plan but everyone rightfully reminded us it will be most inconvenient in future), the walking space will be too small if i give up the storeroom, i know i will regret (where to keep luggage bags and ironing board?) seems like the easiest solution is to buy a queen size bed instead. not sure if i can live with that though. wahahaha...

We decide to keep the renovation in this room minimal (just constructing a tv console cabinet) so that it gives us a flexibility to convert this room to a play room when we have our kids. One side is the entertainment area. I'm going to get the ID back to construct a TV console cabinet. I really can't stand the piling up of wires, scv boxes & gaming console on the floor. Another functional piece of furniture from BoConcept. Actually, we love to shop in BoConcept as they have quite alot of functional furniture and the prices are quite reasonable. I like to call it 3-in-1 sofa bed : Its a Sofa Its a lounge chair And, its a bed!!! Edited February 27, 2011 by sheepz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
