now we go into the kitchen, the only place given a 100% overhaul.

Our kitchen looks abit different as seldom see people do darker colour for top and lighter colour for bottom.

The messy kitchen

Rinnai hob and Ellane hood as Rinnai hood couldnt fit in as obstructed by the beam. Also done up the kitchen top with Black Glaxary granite. Love it so much!!! Its like "Or Kim"

Ur mum still staying in Hougang? My parents are staying with me and have rented out their unit for the past 2 years

ya, my parents staying with me as gotta take care of my 3 rascals. I really cant imagine how I'm going to cope without my parents. I dont trust maids. Previously, when we had maids, the maids solely handle housework. Cooking would be done by my mum and we never let the maids feed the kids.

thanks. Dad gave it a fresh coat.

something to share.

We bought this Ikea table for $39 in 2007 to use as a computer table. After close to 2 years, the edges started to peel and looks ugly but decided to shift to new place.

Then we wrapped it up and continued to use it as a computer table. Then last week, we got a 2nd hand study table and dont know what to do with it

Cheapo ikea table turned small kitchen table for simple makan.

Oh! I think it's such a waste to put the table mat on such a cheerful sunflower table! :P The plastic sheet actually made the IKEA table looks nicer.

Ohhh, icic. How about coasters, esp those cork coasters? Think they can withstand heat and can see more of the cheerful sunflowers. :)

ya. Employing maids is like heng suay...some are really good but some cant really act and do funny things behind yr back. Which childcare is your girl attending? inside Hg green itself?

We didnt have the budget to do much reno especially the ugly grilles so would be saving up to change to the better looking ones that we did for recess area & kitchen. We do away with beds when No. 2 came along when we were still staying at 4-room flat. Then when we upgraded to EM, we did laminated floorings for all the bedrooms and platforms for the boz room as well as our MBR. Now, we finally bought a bed for ourselves and for our duress queen size mattress. Always have difficulties looking for affordable bedsheets for this duress as the height is much higher than normal 10" mattress. Anyway know where to buy Hush Puppies bedsheet? Bought one during Metro sales sometimes in 2007 and now cant find any place selling it.

32" Sony LCD belongs to my parents. We're still saving up to get a LCD in the living room but so far we're still very happy with the 29" TV aka the grand old man.

This TV cabinet was left by the sellers. Since condition was near 100% so we kept it. Save $
