Hi Valerie.

Can i ask what brand of soft closing mechanism you are using for kitchen cabinet n drawers?

I have agreed to use Alan's house brand one and now, it is not as smooth as IKEA soft closing at all.

worse, only one cabinet door seems to close softly properly.

the rest are closing softly only when we swing open fully then push to close,

if not open fully and close immediately, it SLAMs hard!

do you have this problem or you requested to use BLUM?

hope to get your advice soon..

alan said "it works like that one"...

cry..

most people uses excel. Andrew uses that when owners never specify the brand. for me, i use blum only cos i cos i don't like excel. tried that at andrew's office and its like what you said.

Best use...

Lift-up System - Blum

Hinges - Blum / Hettich

Standard Drawer - Hettich / Blum

Inner Drawer - Blum

Cutlery Trays - Blum

My hinges are all Hettich Sensys, it is so powerful until i have to remove some of the hydraulic in the hinges to make it less powerful.

Hi, you stated that youur washing machine is not too good? Vibration alot? Noisy? Care to share the model that you have?

Hi, it is Samsung 8692 - the most popular model. Top seller in courts, haha seems like many people buy it because it is cheap.

Well, I think it is not as good as other brands as it is noisy when it spins. But it does the cleaning job well. If you mind the noise, don't buy.

hi valerie,

seems easy enough.....but i think this process would generate a lot of saw dust when you prep the wood before sealing it

Thanks for the website. Will take a look.

It is a tedious process; not advisable to diy.

How tedious it is? Can tell me more details? As i'm really interested to get the wooden crate.

Hi piknik, I agree. The soft closings are like that. It only works when I open the door at certain angle and push it. I tried this at other ID showrooms and it's the same. To me, those hinges from ID or contractors are just for people who wants to have soft closing but can't afford to pay for branded hinges. I have never tried those soft closing hinges at IKEA, are they really good?

IKEA ones r really good... have been there slamming doors n drawers yesterday. then went back to my flat to compare n realize: only one cabinet door is good enough as compared to IKEA one. i have asked Alan to at least fix it so the quality of all cabinet doors is the same. cannot be one pair of soft closing hinge from him works better than t he rest right?

thanks for answering me.

All the Ikea soft closing are made by Blum.

hello valerie, your kitchen design is really an eye-opener! I always thought these kind of tiles are used for flooring. I like your creativity. Your bathroom door is also very classy. Can you PM me your contractor's contact?

Hi Valerie, would you be able to share with me your contractor's contact please? Thanks!

Hi madferit and sherrytan, sorry for the late reply. I have PMed both of you my contractor's contact.

Hi ValerieLow where did you get the study table? And how much does it cost? We are looking for a simple one like yours!

Hi chynaho, I got it from Ikea. It is actually a kitchen worktop, you can find it in the kitchen section.

Very nice!

Thanks Bobochacha!

Hi Kelhy, I think you asked the same question before! Haha maybe you forgot. It was from Harvey Norman.

Not yet set up the rest of the living room yet. Will take a photo when things are done. So many things to do...
