Reno@Geylang - Carpentry is 90% completed!!!

The Bachelor Pad
it's almost near completion!!! YAY! The carpentry was up within 3 days and the silestone countertop is slated to come end of this week, afterwhich the glass backsplash will be up. The painters have dismantled the existing timber doors to bring back to the factory for a spray paint job. Meanwhile, they are painting the door frames and piping works.

here's quick look at the overall progress.

Nice looking wood grains here for the kitchen, running vertically. Usually we have the top cabinets in white and bottom wood, but for this home, we reversed the colour palette.

Reno@Sembawang - Carpentry works

Carpentry works have been going for a week now and it's almost near completion. Let's start from the living and entrance foyer where we have the customised tv console and shoe cabinet. The shoe cabinet is specially designed to have the same depth as the existing DB cupboard, therefore, it's much shallower than most shoe cupboards. Doesn't look like the usual DB box now right?

That's because we took out the existing doors and replaced it with new ones so that it looks like one of our cabinets.

For the kitchen, the couple specially requested for side drawers around the kitchen sink. Below are some photos to illustrate what I'm talking about.

And above the kitchen counter, we have 2 long shelves with integrated lights to shine onto the countertop. Really pretty! And the sides of the tallboy was specially chosen by the missus to match the countertop which will be installed later this week. so stay tune for the final looks!
