Master bedroom wardrobe. Oh no, the frame looks so greyish. Thought it is black. Hopefully will match with my black bedframe & dulux marina blue wall...

Reira 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) Finally got time to purchase yesterday hubby was giving black face (tired from work) cos it took about 1 hour for me to confirm order and the sales lady to print out invoice. Didn't took photo of the actual item as I left my digicam in the car. Initially wanted glass hob but due to limit choice of color, decided on this stainless steel hob to match with my hood & oven. Can't wait to learn baking!!! Wondering if they got complimentary baking lessons or not that comes with the oven... Only 2 months to practise for my boy's 1st birthday!!!

Reira 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) Finally got time to post these during my boy's nap time. Hope it is not too late. This is what I did and sent to my contractor via email. Final Layout Kitchen cabinets & master bedroom wardrobe Paint color indication. Patrick printed it out and paste on the entrance for workers to see =) Edited May 9, 2010 by Reira Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue218 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2010 Time for another update!! =) Was so surprised to receive call from Patrick that they were installing cabinets on Friday!!! 8 May 2010 : Work done on 6 - 8 May Kitchen layout - hehe designed by me =D Adapting some of the western country's kitchen ideas - borrow from library. =) 1) all tiles as backsplash only, thus cutting cost and allow me to have more bottom cabinets. Rarely see the whole kitchen tiled up for western country's kitchen. 2) only hood area with top cabinets, same reason as 1) 3) hood & baking area is parallel instead of L shape due to L shape's pricing charges. I will black face if I am the contractor! haha! My blue kitchen Hood Area Baking Preparation Area Sink Area Small Drinks Area Congrates to ur new house. What a nice blue kitchen! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reira 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) Thank you! Update Today's delivery: IKEA - kitchen shelves, some misc items that requires holes drilled. The uncle that called my hp to inform me that they are at my doorstep was REALLY rude. As if I owed him a living... He said "You must come, if not I will put it as postpone" with a rude tone. We were late because we rush my boy to PD due to his high fever & my hp no batt. In the end the rude uncle left a okay uncle at our doorstep so that he could rush to another delivery. The rude uncle claimed that he called but I did not receive any voice mail (without voice record). Meaning the uncle never call me till it goes to my voice mail? Happiness - Turbo hob,hood,oven. One of the uncle (fatter one) THROW my hob to the trolley... I saw it because just nice we were walking towards that direction. Hope it was not injured by the impact. Both uncles face was black & fierce... Spotlight - Roller blinds x7 (Good service) I had some mis-communication with the spotlight part-time sale assisstant but they allow me to change the size of my roller blind and pass cash ($6.40) to the delivery uncle. Bennington - multi-point instant water heater & install (directly from Bennington company). Good service, he showed to us if the water heater was installed correctly & got hot water to double check. lighting.com.sg - Lights & ceiling fans. Their sub-contractor installed the lights & ceiling fans for us. Good service, the young man is hardworking. Rather finish the job then eat his lunch (2+pm to 3pm already). Also, he waited for us since 10:30am till 11:50am (we had to drop by somewhere else to get things done). When I reached there, the young man was assembling our ceiling fans. The other kor kor also very nice, help the young man to install so that they can finish the job and have their lunch together. 1 ceiling fan's blade got some problems (screw cannot be tighten). They will check with company and reschedule another day to fix it. ________________________________________ Only took 2 photos today before going for lunch at 12pm. Left light installer at my place to install. Color: Nippon Vinilex 5000 - Danube (light blue, grey tone) Dulux All - Lilac White Basically my whole house is consist of mainly these 2 shade of color. Except Zachary's room. A little special for the active boy. Living room, feature wall. Edited May 11, 2010 by Reira Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reira 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2010 Tuesday morning received some depressing news about our new flat. Decided to forget about it for now. Here is an update: Living room ceiling fan Dining light My son's room ceiling fan Study room ceiling fan, 1 blade is faulty. Waiting for Fanco to change the blade. Master bedroom ceiling fan - need to shift a bit, else will hit wardrobe door when it is on & we open wardrobe door... Really pissed that my hubby says that he is ok if it is not shifted. He can dont open wardrobe when the fan is on blah blah blah. Wait till one day our wardrobe door flung out or something and hit Zachary. See how he regret.

Reira 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2010 Painter said for those project thats not rush, he do for Patrick. But for rush one, someone else do. Heard that someone's reno done by Patrick got a bad painter, not this uncle right? Nevertheless, being a perfectionist when comes to my house, will need to check every corner of the paint work.
