Reno At Blossoms

[tonyjames 0]

Demolition works began at my three bedroom unit at Blossoms @ Woodleigh on the 19th of July. I'll cover the events between then and now a little later, but for now I'm going to focus on what's been happening this week. The project I've handed my ID for this week is to have the 3D drawings of the kitchen completed. Here's what's happened...

Email sent to my ID on 27/08/12 with photos to use as a reference for desired layout and colour schemes. The theme was mainly white, with a little grey and beige for contrast.

Email received on 05/09/12. Note the date. The reason it took longer than expected was due to the drafter being handed both mine and another client's details at the same time and incorrectly completing them in the wrong order. Here's the first rendering of the kitchen.

My friend described this as a "black and white movie gone wrong" which made me laugh. Based on the first draft, I asked for the following changes to be made:

• Grey counter to be a shade or two lighter.
  
• Grey floor to be replaced with beige or a very light wooden tone.
  
• Gloss cabinets to be replaced with matte.
  
• Dish drying cabinet to be changed from glass to laminate and conform to the lines of the adjacent cabinetry.
  
• Oven to be added.
  

Here is the second draft, which was received on 07/09/12.

The following observations were passed onto my ID and an updated drawing requested:

• The grey counter is still too dark.
  
• The flooring is still grey, while it should be a beige or light wooden tone.
  

I'm currently awaiting the third iteration of the drawing which was promised by yesterday. I got hold of him by phone this afternoon and asked him to follow up with the drafter. It will be posted here as soon as I receive it.
