My Dark, Industrial-Style Apartment

[sleepybeauty 18]

Hi bettarism, as promised, this is the pic that shows the underneath of my kitchen cabinet... hope it helps!

Hi Oldskool, thanks for ur compliments! i'm looking forward to the finished product too... been really busy with work & travelling lately to update the t-blog chat. Managed to snap some pics over the weekend though...

The kitchen is looking almost completed with the chalkboard laminate door being fixed up...kitchen mixer is still not fixed up though... love how big the sink looks!

The brick wall is being painted but still alot of touch up needs to be done...

The LED lights are being fixed up too...

didn't really have chance to snap pics of the almost completed reno-works until yesterday since i had to be there to take delivery of some chairs/stools & waited for the guy from the curtain shop to come down to take on-site measurements.

here are some of the pics:

finally, the hansgrohe kitchen mixer is being fixed up & it works well!

the huge & sleek kitchen sink

stove & induction tucked right at the end of the counter-top

did you guys noticed the weird uneven white glue looking thing (think its the silicon seal) right under the window frame and in between the wall tile? think i gotta get them to look into it... quite unsightly!

i must say the kitchen cabinets are pretty well done... love the matching interiors for the kitchen cabinets fitted with blum hinges & fittings.

drawer on the kitchen island

the tall boy cabinet with pantry drawers

microwave tucked nicely into the cabinet

customised a pull-out top with stainless steel front fitted under the steam oven

the lights that i bought from tiong bahru is being fitted inside my store-room & laundry room too! looks cute!

converted the maid's toilet into a laundry room (since i won't be having a live-in maid), the ID removed the toilet bowl and built a base for the washing machine & dryer

so anyway, managed to upload more pictures using some other category option within the album... grrr... this t-blog is kinda tough to handle! hehe

i'm not sure im sticking to the whole industrial theme but i kinda like this look for the bedroom but probably going for the darker color scheme rather than white since the actual bed frame i bought is in grey

i have been shopping around for a nice bedframe and finally found this!

** pardon the purple-ish tone due to the lighting cube at the side of the bed

the close up view of the bed frame:

I think the challenge for me now is to find nice bedside table for this bed

^_^ I nearly went to get the same bed frame similar to this.

finally some work being done at the new place.. some pics update by the ID:

MBR original wall (TV will be placed here) - BEFORE:

MBR wall with partition - AFTER:

and then... the original plaster on the living room wall is down! The ID said the wall is nice thus we can just need to paint over it (hopefully some treatment will be done?) and we will have a real brick wall..yay! can't wait to see the final result!

nice!

hi alfred,

i didn't change any of my bathrooms mixer/taps thus no issues with that. The kitchen mixer i think my ID settled it for me.. i gave them the contact where to get the connectors but im not sure if they bought it or the plumber managed to fix it up without the connectors. Will check with them on that.

sorry for the late reply as well.. just got back from Boracay cos i was stranded there due to the crazy typhoon! hahahahhaha

finally the marble is up!

that's the only good news i get all week...meh.....duh... blah... things are painfully slow and i have been chasing my ID to speed things up as the reno is taking too long... my patience is running out honestly! told him to get this act together and i expect a full clean up of the place before the end of this coming week! we shall see!

on a lighter note, i managed to snag some good buys at the LE CRESEUT Sale held a couple of weeks back at Suntec convention centre.

The stock pot at $89

The round french oven at $282 (24cm)

set of 2 condiments container at $35

the absolutely sweet pink container that i need to have it at $48!

total damage was $454 for the loot from LE CRESUSET hehhehe.. pretty satisfied overall !

got an email from BO CONCEPT as well for the preview sale on 1 Nov and headed down last min to place an order for the perfect rug for the walk-in wardrobe area

it's long and rectangular and just perfect for the narrow space in the walk-in wardrobe however, the wait for the rug to be delivered is painfully long... it's expected to be delivered after xmas though

more photo updates:

The BOSCH fridge is in:

Other views of the marble-top kitchen island:

The RELITE fan is installed as well:

Btw, would anyone be able to advise me if they are using the RELITE original fan speed control switch or they installed another brand of speed control instead? Any input would be appreciated , thanks!

The foyer looks plain now although i'm loving the dark charcoal grey wall, need to brainstorm some decor ideas!

The wall for TV console has been reinforced by the contractor so that we could wall-mount the TV on it (crappy developer didn't construct a concrete wall). The wall was intentionally done with uneven streaks of plastering to give it a raw effect.

Time is running out, X'mas is only slightly over a month away… we 'decided' (or rather we are left with no choice) to go for this tv console in walnut color. STRESS STRESS STRESS!

THE LINE TV CONSOLE BY NATHAN YONG!

​Hopefully we are able to take delivery of the tv console before X'MAS! keeping our fingers crossed xxxx

There's a discount going on at Grafunkt so hurry up and go place your orders now if you are keen, heard the 20% storewide will end this month
