klipp-klapp 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2008 Hi pinkpetter, Yepz the drawing is provided by the ID. But it is not done by the ID consultant whom we deal with. It is done by the designer of the firm bah so there are some communication errors .... which explains why a number of things are not done to our request .. so in the end my husband edited the kitchen and master bedroom rendering himself to save time since going to and fro takes very long ... and can feel the ID also not too willing ... In the renovation quote , these rendering services are quoted FOC ... so I guess also not too good to request too many changes and we did not pursue further. Felt that as long as the end-product is good, the conceptual drawings not that impt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klipp-klapp 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2008 Final kitchen rendering provided by ID. Notice how come solid top not in the colour we requested. Hubby edited accordingly - that's more like it .. else no more green house liaoz... First MBR rendering provided by ID. Actually, we requested to have some red elements for MBR initially.. but rendering provided is in black and white . Is nice but not what we have in mind. After some discussion,we asked ID change the wardrobe to white with a strip of orange and to suggest the color combi for the low cabinet. We felt orange will match the green theme in the kitchen cum living room more than red. Final MBR rendering provided by ID. Notice how come the wardrobe is orange and black .... And we did not like the color combination for the low cabinet. Hubby helped to edit the colors ... think it is nicer now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmycheng 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) I like your colour scheme...bright colours are the way to go man! Why don't you make your MBR colours green too? Then it'll really be a green house! Hee I also saw that you hacked off the entire wall for your study...i initially wanted a similar idea but that will reduce the space I have for wall-mounted cabinets so in the end I didn't go for that option. But it still looks very nice and open! Edited September 26, 2008 by mmycheng Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yepz, went your blog, it is indeed very nice and have more cabinet space. Just wondering, how come your contractor hack off the whole wall and rebuild a low wall for the glass panel, cannot just hack a portion of it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wondering, how come your contractor hack off the whole wall and rebuild a low wall for the glass panel, cannot just hack a portion of it? True lah...colours too bright maybe hard to sleep...my MBR colour now is basically a mix of purple and grey...thinking of matching with greenish-blue bedsheets...dunno even can match anot! haha! My ID said that hacking off half the wall will compromise the structural stability of the remaining parts and something about the weight of the glass partition...it's ok by me lah...whatever is safer and price wise, I still only pay for half wall hacking, not full...hee Edited September 27, 2008 by mmycheng Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klipp-klapp 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2008 Haiz .. heard from ID that the lime green solid top we wanted cannot be achieved ... At first, he told us can try to customize the color, so we chose a lime green laminate and told him to follow that color. But later was informed that there is some pigments issues. Acelite has a green solid top in their existing range .. but the green is sort of light green .. not the brighter shade which we will like to have. Does anyone know of any other solid top brand that have green in their range? Or if there are any suppliers that are able to do color customisation? Will be very grateful .. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

applefreak 1 Report post Posted September 28, 2008 hi klipp klapp, since the lime green countertop is for the shoe cabinet top why don't you just go for postform top? much cheaper than solid surface and you can get the green you want as long as it's not near extreme moisture or heat, postform tops can last for years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klipp-klapp 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2008 Hi mwerkz & applefreak, Thanks for the advice. Will discuss with husband on these backup plans. Applefreak, If using postform, will there be a seamline at L joint, since my bartop surface is a L-shape? How much does postform usually cost per feet? Good to have a rough idea, so that can gauge how much the ID should rebate if I opt for this option. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted September 29, 2008 for postform, can ask your ID to do ABS trimming at the joint just like for our cabinet doors like that contractor can afford to give 10ft postform top free for kitchen cabinets so you should roughly know how much your ID charge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klipp-klapp 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2008 Yeah Yesterday, ID finally showed me the customized solidtop that matches the laminate we chose ... The green house is saved hahaha I would say 95% match .. but have to pay extra for customisation though ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted October 9, 2008 this one is really very close worth to pay extra rather than live with something you don't like right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yepz I think is worth it, so agreed readily to the additional cost.. keke... and was smiling all the way after I was shown the sample .... Woohoo! at least 1 problem solved! Phew ... Hopefully all will be smooth sailing from now ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
