Reno@Toa Payoh - tv wall, console and storage cabinets

It looks like everyone has gathered here for a big tv viewing but no....hubs, contractor and Cath Kidston Mum are actually trying to resolve the tv console because it might be a little too small to put in the Onkyo receiver as the frame is too thick at the bottom. Reason being, the bottom frame is thicker to "hide" the portion of the black tinted glass cover when it's being flipped down. If not you will be able to see an open slit/ gap of some sorts when the glass is flipped down.

Carpenter didn't tell us about this "extra framing" when he fabricated it, and we designed it at 30cm in height just nice for the receiver without much allowance as we didn't want the tv to be mounted too high. Cath kidston mum needs to put a woofer on top of the tv console which is about 23.5cm high followed by the mounting of the tv. She also specifically wanted the tv console to hang 30cm from the floor so that she can clean the floors easily.

Below: Here's an overall look at the beautiful tv feature wall with console and storage cabinets. The laminate here we have chosen is a very subtle wood laminate, quite Scandinavian actually. The tv console has a nice curvy edge to it with a white frame all around. Reminds me of a car design...that is curvy and sexy? Hubs says it has a retro look to it. I kinda agree with him!

Wait till you see the breakfast counter lamps! Those are kind of retro too which Cath Kidston mum has purchased online. It matches her cranberry Kitchen aid!!! And if you read on my earlier blog on the door knobs, you will notice that her knobs are kinda retro looking too!

All the switches and powerpoints are concealed in the tv console and switches to the living area area located all along the tv feature wall by the side so that we hide all the electrical trunking.
