Our Hweeyooooh Renovation

Recommended Posts

Work has stopped a while. Making me quite sad as seeing the reno so close to completion but deadline like getting further. So frustrating. :(

Our id has also placed our mbr vanity sink quite low. We went to the house at night and were quite surprised at the height. It seems like a primary school sink. Id was v cool about adjusting it , but it means that we would have to wait even longer for it to be completed.

Bummers...........

So here is the picture of the primary school height vanity. :(

Would have to bend over to wash my hand.....and im not even tall.......

Storeroom door under staircase pending change.

The white laminate has always sticked out like a sore thumb. And oddly , the door doesnt flush nicely against the wall as can be seen from the gap on both ends.

New MBR's wall finally flushed. Originally had a small recess so if i placed my bed there , there will be a gap on one side.

Handrail installed for the stair case. Happy with the color of the wood ! So we requested for the color to be retained and to just leave a coat of protective varnish that doesnt gloss.

That sink height would drive me crazy! On the up side, changing the height should be relatively simple and won't take more than half a day I reckon.

Thanks vanessa! have been silently following your progress and your house looks fantastic!! dream kitchen. i think my wife is drooling already.

thanks lala . we like the color too so we are thinking of keeping the color without staining and to just apply a coat of matt varnish or protection. (dunno what the carpenter was saying). i like your idea of the very thin false ceiling! should have done it for my place.now we have a problem with the lightings :(

haha , our id said it is a small issue too. but quite bummed as it was pretty obvious that the height is not exactly suited for an adult , so why do it in the first place ? oh well...

did you hack the bedroom upstairs for more light? And the previous owner has glass staircase for you already? thanks

Hi pokz1981 , yes we hacked the previous masterbedroom wall and made it into a window.

The previous owner has also installed a glass staircase for us. But we installed the rails ourselves as we were afraid of our parents slipping without a handrail.

Your house condition is great, you are so lucky

Thanks soonliew! yes the house condition is quite good but we still itchy finger and decided to do some renovations to it

So they have just installed the iQuartz for our bar counter. Loving the iQuartz....but not very happy with the whole look. Seems a little too 'flat' as everything is black from the quartztop to the laminate. Not happy ..... thinking of changing the laminates to a wooden grain one. What do you guys think?

The iquartz w the laminate

Close up of the iQuartz. I like the quartz itself.

Their brand name that they stuck on the quartz.....Odd..... :dunno:

Picture2342_zps33b8ac23.jpg

This is how it looks like completed with the black reflective glass. So basically on top it is a black glass , followed by a black iQuartz and then the whole wooden frame is covered with black laminate.

Didnt seem like such a bad idea then but now that it is fixed up , it looks kinda .... i don't know how to put it.... not nice?

On a brighter note , the carpenters came over the weekend and fixed up quite a number of stuff.

Now we can see how the window will fit :thumbs up:
