Nice kitchen! I wish to have open concept kitchen too.. but worry of the smell and maintainace if i cook.

You used tiles for as your backsplash, isit easy to maintain or clean? and how u create the wall effect of the others side of ur kitchen wall!! :P

Hi hi

yup I used moasic as my back splash... so far i'm using happy call pan for cooking so its not so bad... i just wipe over to clean.. not soooo bad.

Smell wise is ok. I'm using a chimmy hood and happy call so the grease is still ok. wont reach the living room.. if u do alot of frying with normal pan... then I guess its tougher.

the other side of the wall is rough cement screed effect.

I think this is a very different white brick wall style - I actually wanted to do a tattered brick wall style... hmmm... i wont say we are 100% sucessfully... but it was a good attempt considering its the first time for us trying this kind of style and I couldnt find much sample/photos online to reference to :bangwall: :bangwall: :bangwall:

now that its done... I need to learn to love it and accept it... K say very tired to do my brick wall though its just small pcs here and there but need to think and think how to layout the brick to make the design look nice and we need to complete it within today. And there were few hrs where K was not with me.. so I feel some layout decided by me... abit not so nice :~

Now waiting for painting on Sat then this wall is completed, after that I will post pic again with the sofa and wall hang telephone in place.

Hi Pinkwhale, unlike the other houses that used brickwall, your place has a lot more character. Esp. your kitchen! Too many people are adopting similar brickwall-look for their place... not original at all. I like the fact that you have your own style despite also using brickwall. :)

Brick wall was up on Tues and after i posted the pics here... I continued to sit in my living room staring into my brick wall - really "面壁思过" and I just cant seems to feel satisfied with the wall. Thus on Wed morning, I bug K again... kept whatsapp-ing to him that I'm not satisfied with the design of my brick wall and haha... despite his busy schedule, he came with additional 15pcs of brick to help me touch up the wall....

Now it looks much better - looks more like a pc of wall haha... tomorrow is painting day... :dancingqueen:

Hi Pinkwhale,

Love your house, it is so beautiful. I particularly like your dining table and brick wall, so unique. Can you PM the contact details of your contractor and total cost of renov? Many thanks.

Thanks for your compliment!!!

This brick wall was really a huge attempt for me and my contractor... I was super worried that it will not turn out well but he however was super relax...

Thanks for liking !!

Any comments?

That is a nice retro payphone. The black colour is a good contrast to the white semi brick wall. Wonder where did you get your inspiration from?

The payphone looks very familiar and realized that another renotalk T-blogger, Defelio had this too.

Yup yup Defelio had it too in full chrome... I fell in love with his phone actually and by chance I came across a website selling that phone so I was super determined to get it. I just feel that this phone will look super good against a brick wall and when me and my contractor was brainstorming for the idea of tattered brick wall.. It just strike me that this will make a even better combination.
