Wardrobe Placing Problem...
Finally we have decided on which contractor to engaged for our house renovation. The kitchen renovation plan has been drawn out carefully and lots of thoughts has been put in. We will have a 'L' shape kitchen desktop and with some cabinets on the bottom part of the desktop. And a ceiling high cabinet will be installed to place the oven and others.
When it comes to where to place our wardrobe in the master room, it's really a headache for us. Our master room is not so big but just nice the size. It's 13 X 20 feet in dimension, but the bathroom has took up 13 X 5 feet of space in total.
Initially we plan to have a 8 feet width wardrobe but looks like we really run out of space due to the room dimension. So we have decided to buy a 6 feet width wardrobe with higher storage space. Hope it is enough for us to keep our clothing, luggage suitcase and others.
When looking for wardrobe supplier, we have 2 options :-
1) Ready Made (Not sure about the quality)
2) Build In/Custom Made Wardrobe (better sliding mechanism)
I have few supplier in mind :
Maxima
KianClassic
Hayer System
Our budget is around RM 1500 - RM 2300. Hope can find what we want during HomeDec 07 at KLCC.

New House Renovation
Finally we are going to have our very own new house - 20 x 70 doubel storey ! And privacy is back ! I am waiting for this for so long !
So many things need to plan for our new house renovation yet I am getting more and more excited on it. My boy, Justin also looking forward to move in.
Imagine I can have my own living room, decorated with my own color scheme & favourite decorative items, a small garden in front of the house for gardening, an ample kitchen for me to spend my cooking & baking time. Lots of good things that I am looking forward to.
But 1st before all of these can be realized, we have to work out the renovation plan first.
Kitchen Extension
Washroom Relocation
Tiling
Painting....
Hmm...sems not much but me and my hubby have lots of arguments on these renovation ideas. Each one of us wants different things & design. Well, either one of us has to step aside in order to make sure things can go smoothly and plan out fine.
So at the end, we have settled on which reno guy to appoint for the renovation work. We will not do any renovation on the car porch area since out of budget. The estimated time need is 4-5 weeks.
Next....
Once the main piling work & wall construction is completed, we have to go and choose which tile design that we like for kitchen table top, walls, washroom walls and kitchen floor. I am looking for those color with 'zen' & more natural tone.
Next....
We have to choose paint colors for our interior & exterior walls. Interiors includes living room walls, dining room walls, master room walls and stairs + upstair living room. I prefer those not so strong but light, close to white color scheme.
Next....
My favourite part is furnitures shooping since I got chances to shop around some of the furniture shops/malls and see those nice furniture set and choose my favourite one.
Sofa Set, TV Cabinet, Coffee Table
Dining Set
Wardrobe, Bedframe
Lights
Decorative Items...
We prefer simple and nice kind of design. Not too complicated. Last weekend we managed to visit a Hong kong style furniture shop in Klang. Red Apple is the shop name, it sounds sweet to me. The furniture style all looks very simple and small and cute too ! All with very sharp curve and nice color tones. But we think that the furniture is more suiable for those staying in apartment/condo couples/family. And the price not cheap also...so we just have short browse and look at the design. The guys that met us is quite nice, one with american slang and the other one trying his best to chat with us in mandarin...haha....
I am not sure about the quality of local-made furniture compare to imported one...
