My Mini Mid-Century Modern Home

[Defelio 0]

We went to places from Hoe Kee(HQ), Geylang Lor 4x to Balastier and Sim Siang Choon(HQ) but couldn't find a suitable sink... Real please with the sink and the rack comes with it! Missy just told me we bought it separately.. Damm, I'm getting old..

Fujioh FX900. Decided on this model after sawing this

Great readup on this blog with regards to the issues he faced during installation. http://renovation-greencoal.blogspot.com/search/label/fujioh%20hood

Thanks GreenCoal!

Don't expect miracles with the Fujioh as oil splatter left right center. The great thing is the 83%+/- oil absorption from the vapour/smoke.

This toaster have the mid-century look accompany with the somewhat mid modern technology... It only toast ONE side of the bread! O.M.G.. I guess we would not have bought this(online purchase)if we knew about it in the first place.

Nice one, it gives a quirky feel & brings out some character..

The modern conveniences like our hob, hoods, ovens, espresso machines will never give our kitchen the real mid century look but I like the little touches esp the porcelain sink. Originally wanted 1 but in the end gave up cuz ID says it is better if we hv a concrete kitchen cabinet for better support.

I like the overall feel of your kitchen though. V similar to mine with the wood cabinets at the bottom, white solid top and top cabinets.

Why the Swiss edition Citiz though??? Is it different other than being limited edition? Also what green mosaic tiles?!?! Am I missing something?!

Hi JX83, you're making me confuse.. Real brick but not the original size? Is yours from craftstone and about 10mm thickness?

Rough estimate is between mid to high 20s. Ceiling in our opinion abit ex after knowing the price of the wood verneer but we know that they absorb alot after a major change due to the design. It depends on how big you wanna do also.

Mine is around 30mm thickness.. No ah check with him mine not craftstone leh.. Craftstone more for outdoor use & very expensive he told me.. Hehe.. Defelio mind pm me how much u pay total cost for reno + furnishing roughly..

Very nice ur kitchen too.. But ur sink not very deep ah from the pic shown.. I prefer the 250mm sink the deepest i suppose as water will splash more or less during washing time..

Well we initially wanted to get the retro white citiz but finally decided to get the special Swiss edition cos it's very unique with the darken black sprout instead of the usual chrome and of course the Swiss monogram.

This was taken while renovation was still going on and we found the green mosaic tiles a tad off. I went to the few tile shops along Balastier and there wasn't any suitable. So we bought the white tile paint which cost $80+ for a small tin of paint! . Painting it require some skill as it's very easy to have bubbles appearing on it... I painted it quite thinly thus exposing abit around the green tile but she was doing a much better job than me, so in the midst of the first coat, I handed over 50% of my responsibility to her to carry on with this DIY project and I carry on with other DIY project.
