Reno@Kim Keat - Carpentry 50% and still ongoing

Hello there!
Hope your weekend has been well. Today we are visiting the Kim Keat flat before we make a trip down to Lian Seng Hin for some tiles selection cos our Reno@ Bangkit is going to start soon! You can read more about the reno here. Back to our Kim Keat flat, the carpentry works are about 50% in progress. They have started on the kitchen first because then the rest of the carpentry can continue while the countertop guys can come earlier to do a site measurement

Reno@Kim Keat - Carpentry starts!

Today the carpentry starts!
Early morning and all the carpentry carcasses were delivered to the void deck area one by one. When we arrived, we saw the amount of carpentry at the void deck and we went "WOW". That much huh!
Thought i was seeing the whole lot, until i stepped into the flat and saw the living room was already packed with carpentry!!!

Oh my goodness!

Guys are moving the carpentry in the living room into the respective rooms, so that the ones in the void deck can be simultaneously moved in. Before we arrived, the electrician was already on site installing the ceiling fans.

quick look at the glass sliding door which was installed 2 weeks ago.

back to work! Need to tell the electrician where to install the light fittings.

stay tuned for the final photos!

Reno@Sembawang BTO - Living Dining and bathrooms

Really love this photo above!
The dining table together with the chairs were bought online. I totally remembered the time when the couple asked for our opinion on the colour of the chairs and we told them to buy white instead of other colours and seriously I don't regret it!

Don't you think this whole vignette looks perfect?

Awesome!!!
below are some close up on the dining table.

Ritey...from the dining, let's move onto the bathrooms...

above: common bath.

We only added the feature wall, the floor tiles are the existing HDB ones. We kept the floor tiles to save costs and chose a wall tile that would match the existing tiles in the bathroom.

Common bath vanity area.

Toto sink and white solid surface countertop.

The mirror will be installed another day by the contractor.

Master toilet where the shower head is huge! compared to the common bath.

The master vanity countertop is finished in a wood top.

The couple has opted for a countertop sink from TOTO.

For the master wardrobe, the same palette is used throughout the whole flat to give it a consistent look. The sides of the wardrobe are finished in a wood laminate with the doors in white. Same as the kitchen.
