xlan,...

from the drawing, notice that there may not be feasible for two person to cook and wash dish at the same time, or it is possible?.

:notti:

you know... butx to butx issue.. :bleah:

hi xlan, actually your stove can shift towards the fridge i.e. directly opposite the toilet wall, not door

so that less of it is facing the window, and one person can cook while the other wash :notti:

Hi XLAN

Just to share with you....did your kitchen has a beam on top? I see most of the completed unit top cabinet cannot really put things as the beam eats up the space....maybe you might consider in line with your bottom cabinet? I might do this for my unit.

huh? happy, wat beam u refer to? haha.. paiseh.. i blur liao

Oh I mean the top cabinet wall...if I am not wrong there is a long beam.

There is 1 unit just do a top cabinet, when I open the cabinet, there is virtually no space to put things.

You get what I mean?

dsc00022wb8.th.jpg

if yes.. u were refering to tat space.. is precisely where i gonna hv my top cabinet mah.. haha.. *blur*

anyway.. i guess even if no space for storage.. also no choice.. better than looking bare like tat rite?

erm.. n also the top part supposedly can't put too much tings as it usually can't take much weight.. so will be light stuffs like 零食, party stuffs like paper plates n cups, etc.. haha.. :notti:

Anyway...just my 2 cent worth!

updates!

fly back to the house during lunch time.. see the tiling works.. seems very nicely done! quite satisfied with the alignments. i took off my shoes to feel on the joining.. feel flat n leveled nicely.. but dunno if after adding in the groutings will it still be as nice.. hopefully it is..

now show time..

this is the tiles we choose.. during selection time.. we didn't tink of asking abt the brand or watever.. simply go for the look.. haha.. sounds very bimbo.. but tis is the only 1 that has matt surface yet there is a little glossy reflection..
