Buying from Taobao/Tmall is quite easy. I had posted some notes on my blog, you can take a look.

Further assistance needed, just give a shout.

It have been a long discussion after receiving our first 3D draft.. which is erm... not to my satisfaction.. *probably my expectation too high but whose expectation is not high for their home haha.. *

Actually i love the concept of hacking the kitchen and living room wall so that the area can be further brighten and widen up..

When i do the dishes i can still watch my Tv shows haha..

But am oso worried about the cooking as we cook 3 meals a day... So in a dilemma.. Haha..

There will be some changes to the colour selection as it is too modern and not a hint of modern resort.. but layout will be rather fix like this...

We have to blend in to our wooden country staircase otherwise the staircase will look so weird in the middle.. haha..

Nice 3D drawings.

If you are a person who cook regularly (fry food esp), i will suggest you keep the kitchen enclosed.

Hi Songz,

Ya in the end now we scrap the idea for the open kitchen.. its either go for the look and the whole house will smell or have a more practical kitchen since we cook daily..

Even the cooker hob we have selected the ugly looking Fujioh FS-890 which claims can capture 92" of the oil fumes.. Haha.. At first was quite turn off by the outlook but after reviewing the rest and saw the video on the technology used for the Fujioh... Functionality superseded the aesthetic aspect...

Hi, nice MBR with WIW. Is your MBR big enough for that?

Hi Harriette,

On paper wise the room seems quite spacious with the wiw..

On site we tape the floor to see how it will turn out.. not too bad.. But for the bed wise we will not be able to reuse our teak wood bed frame and have to get something more streamline instead. But still able to fit a king with 2 sides table.. :)

And the walking space in the WIW, we have about i think 800mm so we can still change comfortably within it...

Between my master bedroom size is 3.8m x 4.5m

Kitchen Option 1

Kitchen Option 2

Living Room Feature Wall

I love the spanish tiles in option 2 but its rather tough to get the correct colour for the cabinet to match and have a nice contrast for the kitchen... still thinking of what colour to chose.

Have been busy preparing the list of items to buy and shopping round for the furniture over the last weekend.

Its rather fun but it did killed a lot of my brain cells trying to see if the item is able to fit in to the concept.. haha..

Sink - Blanco Metra 9

Reason why we bought this instead of the popular stainless steel sink. My husband have an eye for detail and can't tahan seeing scratches .. *although he is not the one doing the dishes haha* thus there goes my Kraus stainless steel sink.. The size of the Metra 9 is able to fit in a chinese wok thus would be easy for us to wash and manoeuvre the pan/wok within the sink..

Oven - Brandt FC1042xs

Bought it at Harvey Norman today. The sales guy name Damien, Nice chap and explained the functions of the oven to us clearly. And also the differences among the other brand. In the end we decided on this after reviewing a few...

We also bought our dining table, bed frame and recliner sofa at Lorenzo at their ware house sale last weekend.

Happy shopping week...

Harriette,

No choice i have to give up a bigger room space in exchange for the WIW.. But i envy those who are able to sacrifice a room to do a WIW.. But we need all out rooms for the kids.. haha

Hey! My EM is in Hougang and the layout is exactly the same...wondering where you purchased. Welcome to the neighbourhood

Thanks Vanessa... We are in St 51.. Near Hougang Green.. Are we in the same neighbour??
