Our Plan

We're planning for a black and white theme for kitchen and toilets. Kitchen would be open concept. (Less cooking = less cleanup) Ha...

And basically over time, the things to get hacked became more and more from initial planned.. Ha..

So this is a short list of what i be doing...

Replace main door and gate.

Replace all doors.

Replace all windows grills.

Replace kitchen and 2 bedroom's windows.

Replace Floor tiles of Living/Dining and all the rooms with homo tiles.

Replace all tiles for 2 toilets and whole kitchen.

Replace all lights.

Replace aircon piping and aircon units.

Relocate Storeroom.

Rebuilt kitchen cabinet to U Shape.

Build low wall to hide washing machine.

L-box for living room and false ceiling for dining area and passageway.

Built Wardrobe/dressing table in Master bed room.

Add Fan for Living room.

Rewiring for whole house.

Well.. that should be about it. Ha..

Over time, we realised that the only thing we decide not to change is all the windows facing the corridor.

Now once a while still wondering should we hack it.. Ha..
