Study cum leisure room

Thinking of transforming the corridor bedroom to a study cum leisure room, the lady and her man went sourcing for the right furniture to make up that room. Knowing that Vhive sells a wide range of office furniture, they saw a new Grey birch collection soon-to-be in store and purchased immediately as stocks are limited. Still pending a small TV rack and a day bed/2-seater sofa to complete the look..

KDK ceiling Fan

The lady and her man purchased the new KDK ceiling fan with thermal sensor to install in their living hall. The silent thermal sensor feature said to be capable of sensing ambient temperature, automatically adjusting fan speed in response. They grabbed the fan at a good price in JB -a shop recommended by some kind soul in RenoTalk. The lady just hope the fan does its duty and serve the house well =)

Interior wardrobe design

A huge wardrobe is necessary to store the lady's tons of clothes, not to mention her man's which is of equal capacity. Proper space planning is essential to cater to both needs. The lady surfs the internet and browse through loads of magazine to get ideas and design concepts for their customised wardrobe. Her man uses mostly drawers and racks to store and hang most of his clothes; the lady requires to incorporate a small vanity area in the wardrobe and bigger compartments to store her bags and barangs. The lady draws a sketch based on all the requirement and Voila~ the actual wardrobe is ready to start fabrication!

Kitchen Sink

The lady is in a dilemma - to get a granite or stainless steel sink, inset or undermount, square or rounded... Her man prefers an undermount, S/S square sink for a clean finished look. The lady choose a big, rounded granite sink for easy maintenance. In the end, both agreed on a big, rounded, stainless steel sink, and a pull-out tap from TEKA. 50%-50% each - Done deal!

Bathroom Shower

Rainshower

Bathroom basin mixer

MBR Instant shower heater

The lady and her man each have their own ideas when comes to designing the bathrooms. The lady prefers an instant shower heater for quick access to warm water. However, her man always longed to have Rainshower system for maximum shower comfort.

2 bathrooms 2 ideas... The lady and her man finally decide to each design a bathroom to suit individual needs. The lady choose the Master bathroom and settles with a simple Princeton water heater to compliment the resort style concept. Her man works according to his budget and install the GROHE Rainshower® system in his self-designed bathroom. Since the common bathroom is equiped with GROHE products, they ended up purchasing additional GROHE basin mixer for both toliets. Damage indicator = High

Home appliances

Refrigerator

Washing Machine

Television

The lady adores the brand Panasonic and feels like getting everything from Panasonic for the whole hse =P

Hence, after discussing and shortlisting the fridge & washing machine, her man agrees to the model chosen (even though the price is off for the washing machine) Heehee!! However, Panasonic TV seems to be off budget and they decide to settle with LG which is of equivalent specs. Price for LG TV is much cheaper and comes with 12mth starhub cableTV package FREE. Haha, cut the man's budget on TV to cover for the lady's over-budget washing machine.

Good deal!!

Hack, hack ,hack

The Aftermath - Kitchen & bathroom

Finally the design and tiles for the hse is confirmed and renovation offically starts on 15-Oct-10 (exactly 1yr before the lady's wedding date). Went over to check-out the work progress on Sat, the lady is glad that the 'Oh no' kitchen cabinets & tiles are hacked away, waiting for the cottage window side wall to go too. After 3days of scheduled hacking, wall should be plaster + tiles work to start on 20-Oct-10.
