    its better to choose yourself, contractors may not buy the things you like, some may even give u lousy stuff and charge sky high prices. Delivery usually free or u can cash n carry, shop around for leisure, u will realise how many different kinds of toilet bowls, taps, sinks there are! :)

    Yeah can't wait to start shopping for those.. Thanks!

    Hi all.. Just wondering if it is more economical to buy bathroom and kitchen fittings such as sink/basins/taps/toilet bowls/lights/towel racks/dish rack from a retailer or just include it in the renovation package. I am aware that the contractors get commission for the items they provide you but if I was thinking if we order straight from the shop we might need to pay delivery charges. Any advice/experience to share? Thanks!

    I see that your kitchen is very small for an EA. Yes, maybe it is better to hack away the wall. I thought it was like the EAs below :

    Yeah perhaps we might have to hack the wall and build some wall cabinets to store cleaning stuff. Wify might still want to keep the service yard though cos she hates to see clothes hanging in the kitchen.. hm.. maybe should invest in a gd dryer..

    I prefer to separate the laundry from cooking. Keep the fumes away from the clothing.

    Are you able to expand into the living room instead? What's the size of your kitchen?

    I don't think we can expand into the living room. Another idea we are exploring is to reposition the common toilet door so that the toilet entrance is at the living rm. But that might not make a big diff. Here's the plan of just the kitchen and living rm. size about 11.6 sq m.

    Most EAs / EMs are designed with small kitchens. The laundry area is always separated by a door. For EAs, the laundry area is not the most ideal to manipulate the bamboo or aluminium poles for your clothes. You need sometime to get accustomed to the space before it becomes second nature. It is not adviseable to hack the wall. You need to consider the toilet position as well. Get used to the cooking in a small kitchen, have your makan in the dinning and doing your laundry in the laundry area.

    Toilet position is not an issue. Yea it will be good to have a laundry area. Guess we'll have to see what the ID we hire has to recommend.. Thanks.

    you can hack and still separate

    just need to do a L shape for your wash basin

    That's a good idea. But we are thinking that a full partition would be nice to keep the cleaning equipment / laundry hampers / hanging poles and all out of sight... so we're still undecided between having a bigger kitchen or a neater one...

    Hi all. We just bought a new EA in Anchorvale. The kitchen is kinda small and so we thought of hacking the service yard to have a bigger kitchen. However we also think the service yard is useful to separate the laundry from the cooking. So we are torn on the issue. Any recommendations/opinions/sharing of experience on this pl? Thanks.
