Finally Finally, here's my OWNSELF planned Kitchen Cabinet Shelving layout. Any experts here can help me take a look?

Hihi!! Your mbr door v nice! Btw, I supposed you asked your ID to custom make your wardrobe for you? Did you give him like specifications on how high each shelve should be and so on?

This is a revised drawing of my kitchen. I still think it's not nice. Think I wanne do all WHITE on top cabinets and all wood grain laminates on bottom cabinets

LOL and it continues!! mine is purple leh! dont tell me its REALLY purple!

I called SnC! Mymmy Lynn you are right. They do sell. $750 made in China. o.O!!

Thanks a lot! I saw it here: http://www.2010lifestyle.com.sg/collections/hanging-chair/ But it's $728!! That's kind of pricey isnt it? Made in Indonesia, iron parts from europe. There is this very random kind of cane furniture store opp my house and it is selling just the chair alone at $150 leh...

Where to get hanging chairs like this? Thinking of getting one for my home

lol this is funny!

Beggars cant be choosers. My tenancy at the current rented place ends tmr... so i need to shift already. lack of privacy or not, well at least that's temporary and I have a roof over my head! Aiyah, the thing is, we insisted on using inovar. He recommended supreme.... we insisted inovar... sians... but inovar did the scratch and fire test! I am weighing the pros and cons now of IKEA versus custom made. anyway, I am idling my time away outside my new house. Sigh* waiting for my bf to bring me the key to the house - cos he changed the lock for me today. my neighbours here all hang their clothes by the corridor sia.... got one even more steady... mount those metal things on top and put like 5 bamboos across it. LOL like the public area is their own house like that!

Well, tt's pretty much what my ID said. To buy a couple of the drawers I want from Ikea and show it to the carpenter to fit in. Kitchen still ok... but wardrobe? I have no idea man! And don't the carpenters draw a 2D before they proceed with building? What if there was a miscomm? how to protect themselves from a redo and a loss?

Hi all!! Quick question before I rush out for YET another meeting! Where to get hanging chairs like this? Thinking of getting one for my home

Why wont he replace the scratched laminates? The laminats are non-scratchable "SUPPOSEDLY" leh! Haiz and he should ask the laminate guy to come replace mah... ok thanks for letting me that I should tell johnny i do not want to see patched jobs after rectification. ya moving in this thurs BUT I am only staying in one common room. The carpentry and all will only start work after CNY. u got no carpentry?? Btw, for the carpentry also I feel a bit insecure. He said he cannot give me exact measurements. If I need exac t measurements so that i can fit the ikea fully extendable drawers, I can tell him now and he wi,lll ask his caprtener to incorporate it in. I asked if after the carpenter measure, will carpenter come up with a 2D drawing at least? Johnny said no. Then how? Johnny said he will just build lor. And here I am thinking, I am paying premium for a custom made cabinet... how come I dun get to see the exact measurements before they proceed? What if I dont like it? What if its not to my liking? And if I buy off the shelf like from Ikea, at least I can see what I am getting! Actually ok la, kitchen a lot of people say Ikea one no good but hey, the wardrobe also same case leh!! he say for the inside layout, he cannot give me measurements... either i select from this sheet of templates he gave me, OR I design myself and tell him. How come like tt? Normal practice? Again for wardrobe, he wont show me any 2D with exact measurements and he will just proceed to build. In this case, isnt it better for me to buy off the shelves? Isn't it better if they get approval from owners before building? Or is rectification a simple job if say I don't like the size of this wardrobe shelf? Gosh... this is puzzling!

btw, when i do my next house reno, i'm DIY'ing like you!! its not that difficult once u understand the processes! not all IDs hand hold you through the whole process too. my ID didnt really hand hold me. in fact, i discovered a lot of things myself and always JUST in time or just a little too late. Ah well. Lesson learnt!

how come you buy from thsi website? cheaper than outside? OMG I WANT THIS!!! It's the ultimate!

Ok this is the last post of my crazy avalanche of photos and updates. Have a look at my pelmut. Free by Johnny. Thanks! False ceiling That is SO NOT my fan. So ugly and the lights are completely space guzzlers. Another view of false ceiling A view of the kitchen entrance - sliding glass door akan datang!

I have no idea how the painters painted the corners. But I hope they touch up well tmr. Nope its not tempered glass. Yes Johnny said can drill but it might shatter. Ya, tmr will b the day I tell him what needs to be rectified. One reason why the laminate flooring is up "so soon" is cos I have to move in this thurs already. But having said that, johnny should advise the lamiate flooring guy to cover up isnt it? Cos he is planning the scheule of works and he would know whether it needs to be further protected.... :/ And hor, Johnny never told me when air con man should come and do. :/ My electrician and the painters who came turned out to be the ones that asked where's the air con. Only then i realise that, hey air con needs to come asap! Luckiy the air con men came today and finished the installation, just before tmr which is a very impt day for me indeed. But one thing good about johnny is, he is very reasonable. Will talk more on that another day. So I hope he understands all my problems from my POV instead of telling me he needs to be fair to his workers. I can't accept holes in the toilet wall tiles if he has to move the water pipes to the glass wall. He must rectify it. Dont think patching up with white cement will work. I think he can only change the whole tile. I can't accept putting the shower head shooting directly at the toilet bowl and toilet paper. not at all. I cant' accept the messy corners by the painters. I cant accept having scratches on the living room tiles and on the laminate - not when I havent even move in leh! I can't accept having holes in the wall! o.O those that are caused by air con installation. My heart nearly stopped when I saw the air con men drilling those huge holes. Hahaha

Ah! I found a bigger shot of the common toilet!

Here's a look at the still messy living/dining area. I think the false ceiling is very nicely done. I think the trench looks nice. Painters coming to give the trench a coat of paint tmr. cant wait for my electrician to put the downlights up. So in the end, I decided to do a fan + cove lights and hope for the best. When deciding whether to do a false ceiling a not, I was extremly worried that it would make the whole place look smaller but it didn't at all. in fact, it added a touch of class to the place.

Masterbedroom toilet. I love the tap! It's bronze in colour - as dignified as a tap mounted on such a tiny sink can be already! Of course, once everything clean up will take photo again Another angle of it - so tiny. Yea and if you noticed, I decided not to do the shower screen already. I tink my ID actually forgot about it but its a blessing. Cos its REALLY tiny and a shower sceen is just going to make it worst.

Random photo of my kitchen window - look over and you will see curry sauce, expired packets of tang yuan, sanitary pads, plastic bags, leftover food.... nothing short of pleasant My kitchen is now in a big mess

Here's my commn room. Fixtures are not all up yet but we're getting there tmr!

Here's a pic of my bi-fold MBR toilet door. I love it v much! The brown parts are transulcent-y kind of brown. Here's my common room toilet bi-fold door. Not as impressive cos didnt wanne go for the transulcent effect here. safe look

Bedroom Laminate Flooring done! Inovar Flooring! With rubber underlay.

See the top of the entrance to the MBR toilet... so ugly This was original condition.... and sad to say, its still like that. -.- There, this is the T-joint piping in my MBR. Why T-joint? Why cannot one straight pipe upwards? Tmr, I shall find out why. Btw see the black glass there? Before johnny put up the top 3 panels, he called my BF and asked if we are putting heater on the glass panel, then we said no. We are putting the heater on the side. Earlier on Johnny and us had a discussion face to face and we thought he understood that we will not put the heater on the glass panel but we'll put JUST the shower head! So when we asked Johnny why did the plumber put the water pipe this way, he told us that he asked if we wanted the heater on the glass panel and we said no. But we want the shower head there what! And then he asked his tiler to put up the last 3 tiles. Now, he say cannot change COS glass must DRILL then put up. Cannot put up then drill. Then what? I sincerely hope he doesnt expect me to live with this. Cos if not what's the glass panel feature thing for if the shower is going to face the toilet bowl? And shouldnt it raise any alarm to him, as an ID, that something is not right if the owner is requesting for the shower head to point directly at where the toilet paper holder is? And if he has to change the piping, that would mean there will be some holes on the non glass tiles... so am I right to expect that he change those as well?

Nono my false ceiling is lovely. Its perfect. Its the REAL ceiling that is ugly! I can see all the brush strokes!! Painting also cannot cover those kind! Haiz! But ID is like coordinate everything for you... if they have to ask someone to come and patch up the hole for me, wouldn't he charge me? Johnny keep telling me he needs to be fair to his workers as well..... ??
