Hi... was browsing thru ur blog...lovely! It seems that i have the same ideas in mind for the kitchen concept and living room with sliding door... anyway just to check with u.. do u find the living room area a lil crampy with the sliding door installed? Hubby wanted badly to have air con in the tv area and thats why for the need to have the sliding door.. on the other hand i am afraid the tv area will be crampy once sofa and other lil furniture sets in... ur views please

Hi

Tks for visiting my blog and glad we share common likes.

Yes we were initially worried the sliding door will make the living room crampy.

The limitation would really be be your sofa size

Getting a 3+2 seater will have this problem unless you flushed both sets to the wall

So hv to get an L-shaped or 3+1+1 so you can move the single sofa around

My sofa set still under wraps so I have not really sit in the living room to gauge if it's crampy

Hopefully i can do so this weekend as update it on my blog

We only hv the tv console, a 3+1 seater so it seems okie.

But I do know many EM owners who also installed aircon in their living rooms w/o the glass panel to retain the cold air. The room will still be cooling but it runs into yr electricity bill.

But do note the glass panel is huge so might be dangerous for kids. Im gonna put up my wall decal soon as my little nephew and nieces pop by often and also my furry fren just dashed around in excitement.

As for kitchen, I think one should consider yr lifestyle. It am not a zi char person, primarily boiling soup and simple stir fry so I thought an open concept works for me. But it also means I must be hardworking to clean the lights, the blinds. So I told my part time domestic helper that cleaning the dining and kitchen is TOP priority.

I'm adapting a very western style kitchen concept and I get my ideas from magazines like home beautiful, apartment therapy which I read the articles under this iPad apps -flipboard. I will save all the pics I like and periodically run thru them and it kinda affirm wat you really like thru the tonnes of pix u saved.

But we must be realistic due to our budget and weather so we can't fully replicate those we see in magazines. Also, hubby always remind me it must be functionall and the state will deteriorate. He din wanna build me a kitchen showroom

That's my 2cts worth. Hope to see yr pix soon.

The power of spray hose

It's a tiring day of scrubbing probably one the dirtiest place in the house.

We closed the windows and sprayed at the roller shutter. For once you,don't mind dirt rained downed on you as you see the shutters now look new despite being 13years old

My mini toilet. Looks completed but nope... Tap not connected.

Living room taking shape

But the pix din show the boxes at the other side of the room

My love for rattan

The moment I unwrapped the sofa,my dog immediately choop her seats

And finally hubby set up the tv system and we cleared the boxes hogging at the stairway area

Contemplating if we should mount the tv on the wall.

Lotsa space for furry friend; will soon put up wall decal on the glass door and wall next to storeroom door

My love for white, glass, rose decor
