Our Smelly Nest

Recommended Posts

Hello 43atCR,

our ID has measured everything quite well. the only con is that when someone is sitting at the dining area, our movements in and out of the kitchen and opening of the fridge door will be slightly impeded.

a dining table width of 800mm will fit nicely into the space allocated :)

Going by your Hitachi rvg690p3ms Fridge, your cupboard will have to have a depth more than 740mm (745 perhaps) so that it can allow a coverage for the fridge (fit the fridge within its casing). Are you sure a bulky cupboard would do well for your dining? Also you need the swing space for your fridge door, plus at another least 600-700mm for your dining chair's drag space. Your dining set will have to move more towards the left, thus blocking the entrance of the front door.

Unless of course you do not mind chairs to be pushed right under the table whenever you open the fridge or whenever you have someone using that seat, you do not open the fridge doors?

Maybe you would like to consider this.

updates:

Our cement screeding appeal went through!

Rectifications have also been completed.

And we have also finished our 'dong tu'

ID has came back with revised drawings.

we have changed 1 of the cabinets into a open shelve. the middle shelve is a pull out shelve.

plan is to put the nescafe machine there and put some books in the other open shelves.

Need everyone's adv here. We are in a dilemma on how to cool the dining area without a standing fan.

since we are placing dining lights right above, and we are not keen on the ceiling fan+light kit, how else to have our meal without sweating buckets?

appreciate all inputs!

Hi, maybe you can consider getting a wall fan. I've installed one in my kitchen since we have a breakfast/quick meal area, really makes a difference. :)

Where r u placing ur aircon in the living room, place it at the right location will help, unless of course u prefer not to have aircon on while dining.

I notice u have a L-shape study table, ask ur id how to open the drawers at the L-corner.

Ur sink is right next to the kitchen wall? Consider shift it a little, u need working space (think abt ur elbow & hand movement)

Very nice 3D concept, good luck on Reno!

Hi Freb.

Quite surprised your ID didn't suggest this instead of leaving it "dead".

There are some other designs of such at the Katong fan shop.

They are cute cute and comes in chrome/nickel/bronze color frames.

So if you still keen can check them out but they are all AC motor fans.

Price range at the shop we saw was about 400-700 price range depending on model and color.
