My dry kitchen cabinet is finally complete. The plumber came to install the sink and waterproofed the side with clear silicon.

thanks. the laminate was from Arova. cannot remember the exact name, but it is in the online catalogue. I will strongly recommend anyone who is interested should go down to their warehouse and look at the whole piece.

I have to thanks Vanessa who introduce me to this laminate company :) Her t-blog link http://www.renotalk.com/forum/topic/58122-our-new-home-executive-maisonette/

thanks. Instead of matching the color of the laminate for the edges, I used a bronze finish to give the whole cabinet an outline. Not so visible on the photo, but it does make a subtle difference.

I am looking at lam chuan's laminate with similar wood grain. Would you be able to provide this Arova ref or model number so that I can compare the looks? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Tiki!

It looks so different in the catalog than in the kitchen laminate colour. If I have not seen your kitchen pic, I would not have given this a second look in the catalog!

the catalogue does not show the beauty of some laminates. really need to go down to factory to see. Do note that this laminate is textured.

Tikimu & I love yours too... lol

We finally have some time to check the kitchen cabinet. we advice those using my contractor to avoid using the same carpenter. He workmenship is TERRIBLE!!!!!! Luckily we only did the dry kitchen cabinets. Imagine the diaster is he did my rooms and mirror panel. I will be having a long discussion with my contractor.

Moved in on Thur, and both Tikimum & I were arranging and packing our things. There are still so much to do, but now the place is more livable. Today we sent our beloved chairs to have the rattan replaced @ Chun Mee Lee Rattan Furniture. I got to know this place cause my contractor saw them on a TV show recently aired.

we are using a dark grey homogenous tile with a raw granite look. ( anti-slip too). This tile will also be used in the yard and as a border for the peranakan design.

while shopping for our bathroom fittings at SSC, we chance upon floor trap made of faux stone.

@ $75/set, the price is over the moon. My contractor said a plastic one cost $4 and a stainless steel is less than $15. Being the down to earth person he usually is, he ask me if I really need this to cover the drain holes with it. He said if I buy it, he will install and bring his other clients to see ;). We were not prepared to pay for the most expensive tile in the house.

Few days later, went to Geylang to see other bathroom stores. We chance upon another type of floor trap with a tile insert at Heritage. It allow is to have a seamless floor look. Damage $28/set.
