ricepapergirl 21 Report post Posted June 13, 2016 Day 77: 99% finished? So far the only things left on our Andrew-to-rectify/do list are to change the utility room window (prob next week), tighten the laundry bracket screws and to fix the nursery door (a bit hard to close). Everything else has been crossed off! Our living room wall was painted yellow on Friday and the staircase railing was also painted. Also, we managed to unpack the last box yesterday, and pulled off the dust covers for our living room and dining room chairs. I think we're at 99% done (some more small deliveries for storage stuff in the kitchen, need to get two more dining chairs, storeroom racks, balcony furniture, need to buy pesky medium size bathroom 3M command strips and rubber bottoms for our wooden bathroom shelving etc etc) I probably should go around with a camera hahahaha. So glad to be completely moved in! Preview picture of our living room? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My husband has had a chouchou old small pillow from when he was a kid and we still put it on the bed, and the first time I used the V6 on it the old internal covering for the filling tore from the vacuum! That was the last time we used it on the pillow lol. Might sew on another layer of covering for the chouchou and try to vacuum from there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricepapergirl 21 Report post Posted June 14, 2016 Hmm my handphone camera not that great. Oops. Preview pics of the kitchen? In the morning when still a bit dark so the lights are on. View from the kitchen doorway! Better picture of the cooking area, my Rinnai hob and Fujioh hood, and the Bosch oven (still completely untouched!) My condiment racks just appeared in the mail yesterday so I'm glad to finally get my oils and stuff off the counter! The view from my "service yard"/windows of the oven to the left and the sink area. Dunno why my photo super foggy -_-. Sink area + food prep area, various hanging towels and my new fridge-side rack with recipe books and paper towel holder!

I asked if I could get cabinet doors with grooves like yours but he say cannot if using laminate haiz Hahaha awww. Yeah I remember my husband said Andrew came over the other time and also took a photo of our kitchen. But yeah, we also had a long talk about kitchen cabinet doors after they were installed and he was talking to me about how it was really difficult for contractors/carpenters like those he uses (or anyone else) to fabricate doors to the standard that Ikea can in terms of grooves etc, and even how detailed the grooves are. I've seen some of the carpenter-created shaker style doors and they are usually quite simple wood planks on top of laminate, you can't get the moulding/groove style look that Ikea Bobyn doors give you, because those are fabricated in a factory somewhere at high volumes etc so they can afford all the work that goes in. Ultimately I was interested in Ikea more for the price than for the shaker style doors etc but it was a nice benefit to it. 1 hour ago, JohnJohn said: You've really got a beautiful kitchen ricepapergirl! Aww! Thank you for your kind words! Still waiting for the weekend so that I can pull out a better camera and take pictures of my house in the day, on weekdays I only see it in the morning and after it turns dark lolweep.
