final shots of our place..... its not 100% furnished yet..... we still have some ideas..... but the wife and I are both exhausted monetary and mentally.... we will take a break until we have enough juice for phase 2 renov here are the final shots: cheap rows of IKEA boxes help to give some order.... bless those Swedish and their meatballs......

go check it out at IKEA Alexandra...... i was there 2 weeks ago and there was plenty of black cow hide. ..... and i look forward to your photos and progress as well... good night!

neon hex table from Grafunkt, jailbreak table from Air Division, cow skin from IKEA which was on clearace sale:

yeah to be honest, my renov is pretty much done.... and I already completed the payment. Mr K is just being kind la... I hope he did not raise your expectation too much i hope i will not disappoint you.... haha all the best to your renov.... he give some pretty good advice sometimes

i designed the display cabinet and asked Second Charm at kallang to help custom built for my 3A ashley wood collector toys.... the wood used is reclaimed/recycled teak timber..... so its kinda eco friendly made in Indonesia and shipped over.... the overall process took about a month..... simple and fuss free box perched on 4 brass cap legs.....just how i like same goes for the TV console...... the owner Sharifah managed to help us source for thicker teak planks for additional strength...we had it on castors so we can roll the Sony around in future.

its already up couple of weeks ago... i just did not have time back then to do the reno blog

oh yeah!........

honed granite table top up next:

light and action!: electrolux steam oven installed.... it was a steal as we bought a display set its been tiring......................

finally cabinetry completed... almost there!

meanwhile we added an integrated ledge to in the master bathroom for the wife's Lush shower products..... dunno why women need so many shampoo and shower foam..... glass partition up next.... and also a layer of black grout to cover the original white grout

common bathroom update... the sliding glass screen are up: followed by the Grohe Euphoria showerhead..... we forgot we had false ceiling and the shower head might collide..... but thank God we scrape through with 1 cm to spare.... close shave! basin tap and mirrors up:

shoe cabinet ready:

cantilever study table up!

blum fixtures on standby!

aircon trunking concealed, hope the aircon guys did a good job and nothing leaks.... else we are screwed big time!

aircon cover going up..... immediately I could see that the cabinetry was too shallow..... the door will definitely hit the aircon.... contractor K and his carpenters took it back and redid the whole upper cabinetry.... steady!

putting the laminate on the island kitchen

concealed powerpoints and switches..... it tooks the electricians to figured out what went where:

island kitchen coming up:

the uncle carpenters were indeed rather nice and patient..... can't say the same for this young carpenter working on the shoe cabinetry....he was restless, impatient and had a bit of an attitude issues.... good help are hard to find these days it seems
