    The cabinet with "box-in" component

    gallery_59873_8_270436.jpg

    The hanging lights which we bought from Taobao. We ordered for the horizontal base instead of round base. They sent the round one over. So we are left with 2 options: To have 30% discount or to wait for them to ship over the horizontal base, which they say is out of stock and has no idea how long will the restock take.

    Decided to go ahead with the round base. Felt that there are too many rectangles and lines in the house. Felt very "boxy". So we will go ahead with the round base.

    Kitchen table top is up this week :)

    By default, the dish drainer cabinet will protrude out more than the rest of top carpentry. Luckily our ID decided to increase the depth of the top carpentry, to ensure that the whole top carpentry is flush neatly. This also allows the cabinet with "box in" component to have more usable space.

    One of the decision to make regarding the wrapping of the table top at wall end.

    Not putting the dishwasher rack cover due to 2 reasons. Firstly, the cover look will not go well with this laminate. Secondly, we are lazy people.. keep opening and closing the cover just to get cups or plates. Most probably we will leave it open permanently if there's a cover.

    The drawer dimension is "Small for the top, Medium for the rest below". The top will be used to put those utensils, therefore small size will be maximizing the space efficiency. The initial concern of having ugly disproportionate drawers prove to be unfounded. In fact, I find it look nicer with this "Small Medium Medium Medium" configuration.

    Hi, a question open to all, is it ok to purchase bathroom accessories such as toilet roll holder etc which requires drilling? will it damage the wall tiles?

    Would you recommend the drill or suction kind?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi surfsiderose,

    I think both have its pros and cons.

    Drilling will create holes in your walls but it's probably more sturdy. But u probably cannot change position cos of the ugly holes.

    Suction definitely allows you to change position of the accessories down the road. But it may not hold heavy weights.

    Not sure whether drilling will damage the wall tiles though. :)

    Getting lazier to post these days. But need to finish what I started.

    Ok, this week the parquet floor is grind, and the study area platform is done.

    I quite like the platform. Before the platform, thought that the area is quite small. After that, it seems like the area there is more spacious. My first tot is to put standing punching bag there (Need to ask ID if the platform can withstand heavy duty). The original idea is to put standing punching bag somewhere beside dining table and coffee table. Wont be utilizing the common room, scare that the wooden floor can't withstand the impact.

    Isnt it this will cost more? Mine is straight down L shape connection. The center piping will expose so i wonder how is it being hidden :) got to wait till they complete the kitchen cabinets. No glass backing whatsoever so i wonder anyone can share some light on this one. Sorry to hijack your blog.

    It didn't cost us extra to do that. I think the ID was going to do the U-turn anyway. And no worries about the hijack! We're here to share in renotalk. :)

    Went up to see see look look tonight.

    Pleasant surprise that the glass panel and shower screen are up.

    Felt that our half wall abit low. But we insisted on it, so the responsibility lies on us. Feels abit like fish tank. Lol. Overall, we still quite like our half wall with the glass. Upz.

    The parquet is done. Skirting almost done.

    Left the lighting, study platform, tv console, and carpentry :)

Willing to let go of my initial deposit of $3000 :angry2: . My email is joanjf@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance.
