Things have been going a bit slow. While the skeleton of the cupboards are all up, most of the doors are not fitted yet. And this is due to one main reason, my id couldn't find handles he liked. So he decided to get the handle fabricated instead. That has taken awhile. Below is a picture of the almost complete handle project.

It's nice and i like it but the delay.... But I guess it is better that my id is taking his time to get things done right rather than a quick job which will be below par. 

In the meantime other small things have been done. This is my kitchen cabinets with some of the doors fitted using Blum hinges.

My doors have been painted to match my feature wall. The below is a pic of my master bedroom door and my main door.

Also detailing of the wainscotting in my living room has been done. This I do like very much. I think my ID did a great job here.

Also, my sofa arrived today. It's the Felix sofa from King Living. Took a couple of pics while they were setting it up but wasn't quick enough to take a picture of the completed sofa before they covered it up. They have to cover because there is still more work that needs to be done in the living room. Mainly carpentry.

I really like the colour. Hopefully it will cover up the dirt coz it will be quite tough to remove the covers. 

And here it is all covered up. Tomorrow will be the carpentry -  Yay - and my project manager will throw on another layer of plastic protection and seal it with tape. (Yes, my id said they will install the cupboard doors with the fabricated handles tomorrow.)

One last thing. I do like my id a lot. He is very fussy about my whole project, even fussier than me and that's one of the key reasons why my reno is taking longer than what was projected. Besides the cupboard door handle, he also called his tile guy to come back again as he is not satisfied with some of the wall tiling work in my common bathroom. I couldn't spot the defects but he did and he got it rectified.

Even when it comes to my dining room chairs, he'd rather look for it for me even though i said i could buy the chair online. He doesn't want me to get it online as he was not confident of the quality. This is not to say that he wants me to get things expensive. I saw the chair in a local store but he felt it was too much to pay for a dining room chair, hence my going online. (Below is a pic of the chair I want.) So all in all, despite the delay, I'm still happy I engaged him.

The doors, wainscotting and golden finishes look really awesome, like being transported to another era.
Time to bring out the cigars and champagne ;)

Really love how the colours are turning out! Wonderful...

The door colours looks great too! Did you order a new door (main entrance)?

Btw can please let me know how much the sofa costs? Can PM me if not convenient to reveal here.

Thanks @trcd. No, I didn't change my main door. My ID spray painted the door for me so that it will. Match the wall. I'll pm you pls.
