Thanks! I love the idea too.. The washing machine will actually be next to the toilet door. See from my floorplanner plan below.. Actually i should show the back of the washer but was trying to be funny let you all see the model i'm buying.. Heex..

Is it clearer now?

Much clearer... I understand now. :)

Hi iluvmybeans,

I noticed that you intend to have your stove on the island. Did you check with your fengshui master on this? Because for fengshui, they usually advise that the stove have a sturdy backing/support as stove is one of the important area in the house.

Good to see your kitchen layout and don't worry about being early. I also change my layout several times when I re-think about the concept again.

Hi skymars

Thanks for visiting my reno blog. I'm lucky in the sense my dad is a contractor. Hee.. I dun have to source for any ID..

I'm saving up for my reno so most likely & hopefully i can start renovating around November...

When's your reno starting? Hopefully HDB approve of us hacking the wall between the MBR & other room so that we can make our plans work!!

Oh no.. I totally didn't think abt this.. I feel sad now.. Not your fault k.. All i thought of was the 3 parts thing didn't think abt whether the stove can be placed on an island in terms of feng shui.. I will ask him next time.. Thanks for the reminder..

You are right.. I keep changing my design.. Haha sometimes i console myself by thinking that it is a good thing to have more time to plan for reno.. Haha.. Self deceiving.. Actually i would love to start my reno asap but no money..

Hi merryman

I see that you have not found your contractor.. Actually i also dunno how much my dad charges other ppl.. Haha.. if you want his quotation to compare can pm me for his contact k? My dad takes pride in his work so no worries abt quality..

Ooops.. sorry.. don't meant to make you sad.

Its good to plan early, at least you are aware of what you want and won't get tempted easily when you come across new stuff. Read that your father's a contractor... wow.. so good... at least you skip the one of the most headache part of the reno (renovator search & confirmation).

Hmm, mine is a different concern altogether. My home's kitchen is the same width as yours, and I also originally intended to do an island kitchen (with my stove, like yours, also located on the island). But when I did the math, assuming that the width of the cabinetry and island are the standard 60cm each, that would leave you with about 1.6m of space to negotiate around the kitchen, which might be a little tight. Maybe you might want to try a galley kitchen format?

Ya loh you are right.. Must think carefully rather than doing something you might regret and risk having to look at it for many years down the road or spend money to rectify it.. It's normal to feel anxious.. i have been reading everyone's blog in this forum since last year & collecting all reno mags though i will only be renovating my flat this yr end.. haha.. So Kiasu right..
