Tea-coloured glass panels? Nice and i have it for my storeroom. Yours oso pt block right? Kitchens in pt block generally dark, mine too.

Your reno progress seems :good: despite u said some unhappiness here & there.

u have glass panes for your storeroom? sounds interesting...

hmm, i guess everyone runs into problems during the reno process... esp when we r first time owners... i guess expectations of the work done and the results will be even higher, esp after pouring so much into the place (monetary, emotional and physical efforts!)

but @ the end of the day, its the end results which matters, and what we are left with for the years to come. so as long as the issues get rectified and everything is done up well @ the end of the day, everyone can smile and pat one another on the backs.

our ID has assured us that he will do up everything nicely and hand a picture perfect house to us; apart fm some spoilers like pipings gone wrong, he has done a pretty decent job of liasing with his people, and getting certain issues rectified :)

scheduled hand-over will be in 2 weeks time... we r certainly looking forward to getting a nice place :D

Nice design for your shoes cabinet :)

i agree. nice design esp the hidden doors.

Wah! Such a cool shoe cabinet! Remember, don't put shoes above head level. Some even say waist level. But real hard. I am trying to keep below shoulder and it is already a challenge! Luckily some shoes are still at my mom's house!
i agree. nice design esp the hidden doors.

:P Hahah I was waiting for update everyother day... finally today see something :)

the carpentry works look great esp the wall panelling area and the shoe cabinet....uniques design...

Wow.. your shoe cabinet design very unique, doesn't have the usual shoe cabinet look. Look like a feature wall to me. Most importantly, I think it can hold quite a number of shoes. :yeah:

Your kitchen also have alot of work top. So nice.... more space to work with. :thumbs up: By the way, your granite top is up already. Going for HO soon?

thanks everyone :) the compliments make us feel much better and happier about the place!

storeroom, shoe cabinet and mbr door are flushed with the same design, so its supposed to look like a feature panelling all the way fm foyer to mbr door. we like the concept too.

din manage to take pic of the entire thing, cos there is still stuff everywhere, abit messy.

Your kitchen also have alot of work top. So nice.... more space to work with. :thumbs up: By the way, your granite top is up already. Going for HO soon?

hey rasp, scheduled handover is supposedly end august... counting down...hohoho

--- updates continued

room doors installed - pending varnish/lacquer

track above mbr feature door

IMG_0871.jpg

ID boasted to us that only condos get this usually - hah. thanks to him, we get a condo door track. it beats having the conventional door stopper magnet thingy tho. just push, and door stays :yeah:

the hubby's display cabinet - glass installed

IMG_0870.jpg

the hubby's dream to have a display for his toys... OK, the great wife lets him have it

holes drilled in display for led lights

IMG_0890.jpg

this was a last minute request - we initially did not cater for these lights - but the hubby thot it would be better to have his toys basking in the light.

it was pretty decent of our ID to accomodate to this change - carpentry had to be changed slightly, new wiring had to be done... the hubby was very happy. it would have been perfect if ID had offered to throw in the lights for free, but that didn't happen, haha
