Renovation Is Almost Complete

Dropped by my home yesterday and moved some furniture around before meeting up with pp for lunch. pp, have a safe and enjoyable trip dude! :p

What a big difference though only a week has passed. Thumbs up to the contractor and her team. Updates with regards to my room below.

My Room Status

Floor tiles are ready, walls & ceiling are nicely painted. Currently random furniture are placed in my room due to painting and renovation still on-going in the other room and store room.

Painter worked on the house for the whole Sunday and all is completed by the evening. I’m unsure whether there will be a 2nd coat of paint but all this needs clarification the coming week. The walls, ceilings, and floor tiles of all rooms are all when I dropped by again in the evening.

Kitchen

The floor & wall tiles of the kitchen are ready but the kitchen cabinets will take some time. The kitchen cabinets should be done in 2 weeks time given that the contractor came only to view the place last Thursday.

Kitchen Toilet

Ok, my kitchen toilet needs a door. Also requires some drilling for towels to hang.

Rubbish Chute

I have an awesome pink rubbish chute that I can click it tightly shut so that cockroaches and pests cannot enter.

Mirror mirror on the wall?

As I’m into dancing, I actually wanted a mirror in my room. After much thought, I’ll be asking a quote from the contractor and looking at available mirrors in outlets before deciding. My intention is to get a mirror that is at least 2m by 2m and to place it in an area of my room. I’m also trying to figure where to place/in-built the mirror and how big it should be. By far, I have 2 options – Wall A or Wall B.

Wall A

Wall A looks good but to the most left is the door, which the photo fails to capture. Hence, I’m thinking of mirroring right-half the wall…leaving the left side without mirrors as the door is nearby.

Wall B

I’m unsure whether Wall B will be a good choice but if I were to mirror it, I would mirror the right half of Wall B. I’m also considering the left-half but no concrete decision yet.

Wall B (Right-half)

Yup, a more focus of Wall B right-half area that I’m considering whether to inbuilt mirrors.

I don’t want my room to turn into some dance studio and even if I’d love my room to be dance studio style, I need to think of my bed and wardrobe too.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Outstanding:

Both toilets have no door.
Floor tiles of storeroom not done.
Kitchen cabinets not ready.
Some switch boxes not changed yet.
Some switch boxes badly done & need to be redone.

To do list after renovations:

Shift furniture to their proper place.
Get curtains for all rooms & living room.
Clean the place.
Gather my stuff & shift back.
Design & in-built mirror in my room.
Design & buy more furniture for my room.
House warming.

Personal reminder:

I need a bed.
I need a wardrobe.
A stereo would be good.
A measuring tape is needed.
A specialized table (laptop size) that can extend upwards & downwards would be good.
Visit IKEA, COURTS, & etc for ideas.
Research on mirrors; cost, length, etc.


Renovations & kitchen cabinet to be completed latest by 1st week of July.
Shifting, cleaning and furniture shopping to commence in July.
I can smell the house almost ready! :p

    Hey, I used to have that same cupboard! The one with the guy and the cat on one side, and the girl on the other door.

    @phossil
    Yesh, toilets are a priority. :p

    @Stifler
    Such co-incidence! However, I’m only temporary using that wardrobe for now. Planning to get a newer one after renovations are over.
