    Been a while since I've updated as I've been very busy with setting up the house. Renovation is almost over (sad and happy at the same time). We have completed touch-up works and have been busy moving

Cutlery storage tray (Highly recommend this because you can save space with the stacking function)

Your staircase handrail using metal? will it rust after years?

It's powder coated so no it will not rust.

Nice set up! I was wondering for the little touch ups that had to be done like small stains or unpainted places on the wall, did your contractor do it for you?

Yes we had a final round of touchups before our official handover and payment. Just have to mark it out w masking tape. :D

Haha will try to post more :D

I think it's the standard maisonette roof? No cover on the second floor but there's a semi sheltered slope so rain water will flow downwards. The previous owner installed an electronic rain shield but so far we haven't had any use for it. I could use some water to wash away the dust from the haze to be honest!

The link to taobao didn't work.

Everything is really coming together with the installation of the bar counter at our balcony and timber decking, carpentry in the kitchen. We brought our island high chairs over for the carpenter to install. Here's how it looks against the island counter. Perfect height! Granite top, hood and hob installation going on this week. We're getting there!!! Whoop whoop.

Kitchen cabinets varnished awaiting appliances. The island counter will be varnished to the same shade. A granite counter will go on top with the hood and hob. The aim is for it to look like it's floating on one side when it's complete.

Timber decking using my husband's work contact.

IMG_3287_zpshgj0to5w.jpg

Bar counter using some spare wood my husband found at his carpenter's workshop. It's not a perfect piece of wood ie. it's slightly warped and chipped but I think it adds character! It's a long solid piece of wood, which I think is quite rare to find.

Appliances and furniture will be in this weekend. I expect we'll be spending most of Saturday at our new home overseeing the deliveries and installation. EXCITES!!!!!! :sport-smiley-004:

Hi! May i know which company u engaged to get the decking done for the balcony?
