Hey Mr and Mrs P, nice reno!! caught my eye that your sink and hob are pretty near to each other but you do have quite a bit of counter space.. deliberate decision? Mine was cos of limite space and I can feel the space constraint esp after washing dishes..

Hi cat! There's like a 30-40cm gap between the sink and hob. Yeah I think we do have more counter space because we decided to forgo the built in oven/microwave. That saved quite a bit of space I guess. Was thinking we will just keep the oven in the storeroom and whip it out when we need to use it!

Your flat is looking really nice!  I especially like your photo ledge and kitchen island 

Hehe, thanks Rynaed, we looooove those 2 items too!!! Can't wait to display our taobao-ed frames and have dinner parties around the island 

Went to snoop and really LOVE your idea of a pegboard in the kitchen!

Hey Penguins! Havent checked in for a while and now I see your completed project which looks fabulous. Are your floor tiles from Italy and from Hup Kiong? It looks like the same range as mine just different colour.

Your kitchen is stunning. Can I check how much more one have to pay for those shaker style cabinet doors?
and your home is super big, is this a 5 room flat?

Hi lux! Our tiles are from Harfary! Haha and we didnt pay extra for the shaker style doors! And yes, it is a standard 5room. I think it looks big because the space really opened up after we hacked the kitchen wall!

So over the past 2 weeks, we were busy with choosing our electrical appliances and receiving deliveries etc! Chemical washing was also completed; though the floor still feels a bit dusty even after mopping everyday  Defects were minor and few (mainly with carpentry, just a few scratches here and there that could be covered up easily), and they were dealt with promptly by our contractor! We are still in the process of moving in things bit by bit, and sourcing for more furniture, though we estimate to fully move in only in May  Some photos to share!

 

Still undecided on our living room TV console 

Our 1.8m long dining table! At first we thought it would be too long (with the chairs) but it turned out great!

 

Really love the warm glow of the Edison bulbs

Our nesting table, Tiffany blue sofa from Castlery. Cushions from Taobao!

 

Comfortable bar chairs from Castlery!

 

 

 

Our entertainment room!

Bean bag lounge chair set!

Hi GallopingPenguin

Your house looks so awesome!! Where did you get your bean bag lounge chair set? How much is it? I have been looking around for a set like this but most of the designs do not match my decor. Thanks!
