Although old fashion but the concrete bone for the kitchen cabinet still the most durable.

Finally managed to take a pic of a hardcopy floorplan den upload it. :dancingqueen:

sian...

my is resale. area is only 94, not very big.

n becos my flat structure is slanted, i originally wanted to do other stuff like bed head, etc but faced with difficulties and high costs, we drop some ideas.

angel81 - e curtains we throwed away cos it was old n dirty.

anyway they were from ikea.

i ve roller blinds (2nd hand but very new). i m hesistant to install them as they dun seem to blend into my theme of spa/resort feel.

but now no $.. so see how first.

mmm roller blinds what colour? maybe still can blend in a bit until you get others ba :)

Interesting theme !!

is yr reno thru ID ? If yes, any drawing to show ?

  • Author

pinkpetter > e roller blinds are in grey. dark grey. they ve a modern look. it would blend in very well if the theme was in e colour of black, red n white. its 2nd hand but relatively new and good quality.

blursss > no my reno is not under any ID. me n my hubby are the "ID".. hahaha. we dun wan to pay $ to ID for dat usual design. our ideas come mostly from magazines, internet and look from spa and resorts we have been to. i tink e most impt thing to get the "feel" of your theme is from colours and lightings. these 2 if choosen wisely can create very effective atmosphere.

some more photos folks of WIP of e kitchen cabinets

hehehe, me & my HB also wanted to save $$$ & didn't engage any ID for our reno.

Like yr kitchen cabinet, can you share with me yr carpenter contact? As i'm still looking for carpernter for my reno. :(

  • Author

we are not the pro DIY ID.. i see some of the folks here reali are pro in designing, got drawings etc.

for us, we drew some simple 2D plans and try to visualise and hope for all the best!

luckily things turn out ok.. but we oso learnt some stuff in the process.

my HB and I were discussing that our next home reno we would better go to a contractor as they can help us coordinate everything. now we are using alacarte services. so a bit ma fan n if got any hiccups aft payment, oso very difficult. but wat to do, need to save $.

blursss> the carpentary i used is thru a fren (who is a contractor for tiling) and the carpentary is from m'sia. i dun ve e name card with me now. will let you know tmr.

angel81 > yar, we see how the $ goes.. if got xtra cash, den we will get a new curtain. den e roller blinds sell away.
