Our New Place!

Heya all, Great news! Our sofa, tv console and coffeetable are in!

We've decided to try to DIY a 2300x800 chalkboard for this update:

hehe, was kinda bz sourcing around for the best board material and here's alittle something to share for those interested to DIY.

We/ve managed to grab hold of a raw 8ftx4ftx15mm MDF board from 1 of the planks suppliers at North Link Building. From trimming to custom size n deliver to site at 60bucks.

As MDF has smooth surface which is considered the better option for painting chalkpaint over. But do take note, do not let water sit on it before the paint, else might experience humps surfacing. Another better option would be hardboard but they do not have the thickness we needed.

Dropped by Dempsey hill this noon as well to grab a tub of chalkboard paint (grey with black base). kinda expensive.. 1L at $82.90..but she like it, as worried others does not have the color.. lol.. so no choice.. had to go along..right? haa

Our saturday night event would be applying paint to this haha..

with this..

stay tune! have a great weekend guys once again.

Thanks & Finally! haa here's our DIY chalkboard ! phew* did 5coats and still lotsa paint left lol.

now we have a problem, have no clue how are we gona mount this standing on a wall just beside the shoe cabinets. gona do some research first. lol >< stressss

A little updates on our kitchen cabinets!

yeap no hoob, rather save on it and reduces the hassle of occasional wash/change of the oil filters lol.. its kinda disgusting from what we saw before.. we went like "eeewwww" together! hahaha

As kitchen is not exactly completed yet, will actually look into a backsplash before we starts using the stove! kinda leaning on stainless steel backsplash stretching across for the moment, and maybe attach on open shelves above it for utensils storage.

will see how it goes along the way! all pms replied, good nights all

For a moment, i thought u gonna mount the chalkboard on the brickwall n i was going like "huh??"

err.. paiseh to ask.. the DIY chalkboard is like a blackboard?

[WhiteCookie 0]

Yeap! haa blackboard for daily messages and to keep visiting kids busy with. haa

could be alittle messy with flying chalk dust, thus locate it just beside our shoe cabinets. which might just fit in nicely.

alittle tip to share: method to mount the board solved! usage of mass-bond! haa will update once its up! awaiting glass installer to assist with it.
