Jnohclee 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2013 Work has stopped a while. Making me quite sad as seeing the reno so close to completion but deadline like getting further. So frustrating. Our id has also placed our mbr vanity sink quite low. We went to the house at night and were quite surprised at the height. It seems like a primary school sink. Id was v cool about adjusting it , but it means that we would have to wait even longer for it to be completed.Bummers........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jnohclee 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2013 So here is the picture of the primary school height vanity. Would have to bend over to wash my hand.....and im not even tall.......Storeroom door under staircase pending change. The white laminate has always sticked out like a sore thumb. And oddly , the door doesnt flush nicely against the wall as can be seen from the gap on both ends.New MBR's wall finally flushed. Originally had a small recess so if i placed my bed there , there will be a gap on one side.Handrail installed for the stair case. Happy with the color of the wood ! So we requested for the color to be retained and to just leave a coat of protective varnish that doesnt gloss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greglhc 30 Report post Posted October 17, 2013 That sink height would drive me crazy! On the up side, changing the height should be relatively simple and won't take more than half a day I reckon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jnohclee 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 looking good!Thanks vanessa! have been silently following your progress and your house looks fantastic!! dream kitchen. i think my wife is drooling already. hahaha omg, the toilet cabinet ... gosh can use for preschoolers. like the staircase hand guard wood color! thanks lala . we like the color too so we are thinking of keeping the color without staining and to just apply a coat of matt varnish or protection. (dunno what the carpenter was saying). i like your idea of the very thin false ceiling! should have done it for my place.now we have a problem with the lightings That sink height would drive me crazy! On the up side, changing the height should be relatively simple and won't take more than half a day I reckon.haha , our id said it is a small issue too. but quite bummed as it was pretty obvious that the height is not exactly suited for an adult , so why do it in the first place ? oh well...

Jnohclee 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) So they have just installed the iQuartz for our bar counter. Loving the iQuartz....but not very happy with the whole look. Seems a little too 'flat' as everything is black from the quartztop to the laminate. Not happy ..... thinking of changing the laminates to a wooden grain one. What do you guys think?The iquartz w the laminateClose up of the iQuartz. I like the quartz itself.Their brand name that they stuck on the quartz.....Odd..... This is how it looks like completed with the black reflective glass. So basically on top it is a black glass , followed by a black iQuartz and then the whole wooden frame is covered with black laminate.Didnt seem like such a bad idea then but now that it is fixed up , it looks kinda .... i don't know how to put it.... not nice?

Jnohclee 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 On a brighter note , the carpenters came over the weekend and fixed up quite a number of stuff.Now we can see how the window will fit The view of the window frame from the staircase. How it looks like from inside the room. and yes that is the carpenter measuring the length for the wood trimmings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
