today is a BIG day .... 10 october = carpentry day!

so anyway dropped by on-site during lunch today to take a look.. i must say i was really excited...

i was just outside the unit and i saw these! looks like carpentry are all delivered...

it's basically EVERYWHERE and all over the apartment! even though the carpentry are delivered today... it would take them some time to fix everything up. However, they managed to place the bar counter up and i was pretty pleased with it! Showed to the bf (via msg) and he's getting excited too!

it was pretty much inspired by this (pic lifted off the internet):

another exciting and hectic morning as i shifted the stuff in my warehouse storage to the new apartment and unfortunately the sky decided to have a heavy downpour! nonetheless the job was done within 1.5hours by a team of 5 guys and was glad that everything went smoothly despite the rain.

so i was at the new apartment and i was really really excited over the carpentry work done... the apartment is looking more like a home now that the carpentry is about 50-60% done! YAY! i must say that i'm very happy with the workmanship although found a small problem for the drawers in the shoe cabinet... not really closing as smoothly as it should be.. will get them to rectify the problem next week

some pics i took today~

the shoe cabinet at the foyer:

chose to do with mirrored doors so that i could see how my outfit matches with my shoes hehehe plus it could help to create an illusion of a larger space i guess?

the open kitchen:

Right at the end will be the laundry room + utility room (there will be a door to keep these hidden from view):

thanks! lots of carpentry = $$$$$$$$ gone LOL

actually, the flooring is the original parquet flooring by the developer.. we just stained it to a darker shade.. but it's not really completed cos they going to sand it again & do another layer of staining or something... not sure the technicality of it...

tried to save money by not changing the flooring since it's new... thus only changing the flooring for the kitchen area as i hacked down the wall to create an open concept kitchen
