Sygnur 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2012 Hi, Cynta... Thanks for dropping by here.... but this gonna slow slow mo reno tblog, i assured u... Yup, mine 4room but wil be doing the kitchen only.... 10k coz of the materials i ask them to quote... BLUM n Quartz... since not doing any built in wardrobe, no flooring needed or feature walls, think could splurge a little bit for the kitchen.. Which will be my forte..How about u, cynta? I guess from ur quote, u are doing quite a number of things, right? have a smooth reno ya... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sygnur 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2012 Chocobanana, thanks for dropping by.... Wahaha... Actually, i dun really have an inkling about design n stuff, whatmore theme,am handicap that way. But somehow, after flipping few mags, scouring the webbie, im inclined towards woody looks for my kitchen.

Sygnur 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2012 Seems i have forgotten to share what i want( more like wants than needs, although these two run closely together to me).1. I have always wanted to have quartz as my countertop eversince i read the raves about it from Lieblingsg blogs. When i read the comparison chart, i am 'convinced' that quartz is for me. Granite has been suggested to me by family members, friends and some IDs i met but, somehow, it didnt gel that well with me. I like the fact that quartz is almost maintainence free and need no repolishing after few years down the road. Correct me if im wrong, though. Dream quartz: Silestone.2. While a full BLUM kitchen is out of my budget( even splurging on kitchen has to have some limits for me )i'd like to have the soft closing system for my kitchen cabinets. Not those cheapo run off the mill kind which my workplace is using and now the doors are banging loudly while closing if the hand slipped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sygnur 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2012 The only thing i have gotten for my kitchen is this KRAUS undermount sink... I went 'WOW' when i first saw it in kim76's tblog. Frankly, i had never went gaga over the sink till i set my eyes on this. After poisoning my guy( the poison took long to get the effect, wahaha) i got the KRAUS 23" square undermount sink. Tadaaa....Comes with the accessories:Like the finishing, and its rounded corner for easy cleaning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bleucheeze 1 Report post Posted December 3, 2012 Like your wood-grain kitchen cabi ideas! I also thinking to have this but have to choose between this and grey tiles versus wood-like tiles and white cabi. Cos I will be having wood-like tiles in my living and dining area. What about you?I'm getting quotations now also... Will start reno after CNY. What a coincidence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sygnur 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2012 Now, i am swayed into getting song-cho/welmi stainless steel tap to go with my sink. I went to the outlet to have the look at the taps/mixers. They dont look fanciful, but sturdy.hmmmmShould i, or shouldnt i? Hubby not keen lunging things from neighbouring country, so having hard time convincing him the merits. But still, got time to think it over... Havent sign any dotted lines yet( come again, now the lines come in stright lines, right? ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sygnur 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2012 Bleucheeze!! Wow...! Either combo should turn out nice... I think it's kinda great to start after CNY; workers well rested and ready for new projects.. Provided not rushing to move in. Went to my neighbour's housewarming and his woody tiles reminds me of the endangered tortoise shell pattern which is nice.My living, dining n bedrooms will be sort of 'no concept' thingy... Wahaha... Not doing any feature walls... Maybe, just maybe, will do memento special effects paint on certain walls. See how...Good luck on finding 'The One' for ur reno... P/s: any tblog of urs that i can 'park' ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
