jamez 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2007 Jamez, Tim - Thanks for the welcome! Jamez - we are doing cabinets only for the master bedroom. For the other 2 bedrooms, we'll be buying off the shelf ones... cheaper that way lah!Our master bedroom's wardrobe will be in black... much to my hubby's delight, this was the color that the FS Master recommend. The wall color was in Nippon Paint - Galaxy... again, my ah lao's fav. He loves dark colors! i LOVE black too! dark colours give ur rooms a lounge lounge kinda feel...shiok man! ur "ah lao" got good taste (because i also like hahaha) looking forward to see more pics of your reno!

Edwin Yap 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 ash grey is a very light grey color which is like a shade of white. I have it for my room in my mom's place. Thus if u like darker shades dun use ash grey. its too light to my liking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(this one is a small unit that's installed onto the track of the drawer)For those cabinet when its lift up to reveal the dish draining rack, its a stick looking thingy... dunno how to explain.for those who has been to Culture Kitchen (near to redhill that side) & tried out slamming their cabinets , you'll know what I mean...
