kitchen is link to Balcony... Balcony of this unit is multi purpose I should say... some owners use it as a backyard to dry clothes... ... but no, I'm not going to do that.... Wife had agreed Balcony is solely "My" possession where I can chill out with my my kakis... so .... no drying of clothes and no washing machine in Balcony (a la Bro csinegu)...

Thanks Wife, I love u for giving me the Balcony

Balcony will link kitchen to Living area, I am crazy over a tempered glass door for the Balcony.. ..

3 pieces sliding tempered glass door at balcony for $1600. Quoted by my contractor.

The parquet floor is still shiny...good condition. Can save you $$$.

Looks like previous owner like curvy round thing, the door arch, the corners of stairs.

Hi Sis Mae29, yes, I am saving cost n only polishing the parquet floor .... All the round round corner is ... ... but in order to save cost and concentrate on other aspects of reno, I am keeping the arch doors for the time being hopefully painting them the doors n frame white will make them looks better

Was going to say the same thing: the parquet looks pristine!

The arch-doors, well, if the wood isn't in bad condition, it's okay to keep them, perhaps in white, it'd look more inviting.

Hi Ely, thanks... The Arch doors n frame are still in good condition, I m keeping them and I think the best and only way to make them looks nice is to paint them white.... haha

[Kobelala 8]

yup agree....white is cool..but its hard to maintain too...do consider that.

Hi Diva79, yep... taken into consideration... no choice cos no budget to replace doors for now

I've had white doors for years (at several places too - when I was renting in Australia) and it wasn't too bad at all. I think glass doors are worse!

Good to know that it's not really that bad... cos I never had white doors Thanks Ely

Sure, scruff marks show up more, like hands dirtied from reading the newspapers should really refrain from pushing the doors haha, but it's just as easy to clean. Enjoy your crisp white doors - very country

I think those curvy arch door & frames are more expensive than normal doors. Verdict : keep for now

Yes Sis Mae, have to keep have to keep.... cos now doors n frames are not budgeted into the our finalised reno budget

they look unique. but as others have mentioned, it's prob more country style. hopefully you can blend it into your design.
