House Project: Kitchen

Here is some pictures for my kitchen reference. The top is granite which for me a regret. It is nice and heavy duty but I do not like the "cutting" line.... I can live with the regret though. It does not depressed me so much :) I love the stainless steel stuff tho. The skirting is also stainless steel.

As at now, have not been able to upgrade the fridge. You can't have everything right?

Sorry for the mess, but if you asked me how I find my kitchen sink and faucet, i would say thumbs up.

 

So far I think it is a good choice, right size and the pull out shower is a MUST have. Fully recommended. Kalau ada nak basuh barang besar, you just pull it out and spray, aahh so helpful.... The water filter 3M pun a good decision. Senang masak nasik. I do not have to reach to the pantry to get "clean" water.

 I am planning to buy this to be put as an isle in my kitchen, to replace the old red "tikar"....

or this? I love the wooden one. It warmth the kitchen....

Do you agree?

House Project : Kitchen cabinet

Back to the house project...Let me do the thinking out loud.


I am glad that I read this blog : the-malaysia-project.blogspot.com... Otherwise I would have not known the existence of "corian" solid top. Their good review gave Signature Kitchen (SK) on my top list. However, I can still request for this top from other contractor...so.....

Another blogger reviewed on Defuro kitchen (sorry I missed the link), otherwise I would not know their existence as well. However, I am re-thinking about them now. Hugely due to my limited budget.

For some reason, though Intech/Artak kitchen have good reviews from more than 1 blogger (mostly on their price), I am still not bonding with them.

I sengaja usik my boss that I might engage SK to do my kitchen.. sedikit tercabar boss I.. huhu...relax boss jangan jeles.... it is just about the brand! (ok aku terasa seperti aku di Singapore sekarang ini)... he was recommending Kian Classic as he did his condo's reno with them. I kind of like their "eco" wardrobe (and its price) but not really into their kitchen cabinet.

I still need to visit Artak Kitchen office , Chan's kitchen and houzdepot. Otherwise, I will be ...fidgety. Indecisive. Unsettled.

Time to visit? A lot need to be done I do not know how to organize my time anymore!

For stress reliever, please enjoy these pictures and feeling2 that my house will look like this eventually. Huhu....!

I actually like this you know. Some will say it looks bersepah. (that is my husband saying)... but i love it for practicality. Ko ingat ada masa nak lap2 bebaik during weekdays and letak kat dalam cabinet?? ohhhh semua orang tau itu memang dalam gambar jer begitu.. except for some truly neat people. I give you my respect for being such a rajin person.

Can my family dining room looks like this please? It looks so easy but how much is that table again? here in malaysia you can't get "those table looking design" under rm400. That's the whole problem. How do you quench your "expensive" taste when you only have MYR1 in the bank? (loan is unforgiven answer).

 Erm... do not like the table leg but love the top...the chair's character macam terlampau gah sangat, while I am looking for a "homely and inviting but modern style".... it is just an idea so.....

 None I like here, but this picture strenghten of what I like...

This picture actually told me that, "you do not necessarily need a big mirror to complement your dining area or your 9ft long buffet table..." so thank you picture.

House Project : Kitchen & family dining

 I was thinking to convert the dry kitchen yang "sekangkang kera" sebelah wet kitchen into a casual family dining room. I like the idea that I do not have to mengemas kelam kabut esp bila orang datang. I have limited time at home, so maybe prior to dinner, I can prepare the food while they could start their homework here. So I could supervise them in between my chores.

I forgotten from which url, but to the owner, thank you for sharing. I love the silver chairs. I have checked it out. The easiest online search I could get is from IKEA. This concept can be materialized if I could stick with it long enough.

Also, I am planning to do the laundry area at the same place where the family dining area is. Pictures of the inspiration later...

I think I got the above picture from blog http://p.s i love this, i think. I so love the white concept and the wooden isle. Nice, homely and giving me a comfort everytime I look at it. ...this is home...surely......

 Kan? Loving this concept. I might get it for the family dining room. Another reason why I should have this concept, the wood table can be used as my laundry folding table. But I need the smooth top so the folding process would be as smooth...

 Just a few concept for the kitchen undermount sink.... it should not be here, but as u will know later, I am too lazy to remove it.

 Ikea. and I want this concept for my wet kicthen.

 The stainless steel island that I plan to have.

 Or something like this.

 Ok. Forget all the above. My wet kitchen should look like this. I am reminding myself to stick with this concept.

 The undermount sink for the wet kitchen. You know how much is the price? I thought I could get it for less than MYR600. It is almost MYR1k. Eat my heart out. To get your dream does it mean you have to do everything and anything?

Family room such as this? workable for my family? The table space is limited for the kids. I need to get a rectangle table. They are very messy and their things are all over the place. I should not get any carpet, they spilled almost everything on the floor.

Nevertheless, it is always fun planning a house concept with kids in mind... how many of you agree?

House Project : Kitchen

In my plan,  there would be 4 focal areas that I would want to concentrate on.

1. The family media + reading room
2. The family dining room
3. The backyard
4. The Kitchen


So far, we have asked quotations from 4 renovation companies. I googled and adalah few bloggers recommend artak kitchen.

I suka juga chan kitchen cabinet. The old man that draws our kitchen cabinet designs reminds me of our contractor in SG. memang very traditional. Bukan 3D... sebab tu aku ada soft spot sket kat dia...mana ada orang muda akan buat gitu lagi.


Signature kitchen, they will not do the quotation there and then. Must come 1 week later...


Artak kitchen so far the cheapest. cuma aku cuak je la will the 3G is what I imagine it to be. Not all 3G came out similar.... At least dari apa yang aku baca experience orang la kan..... I am comfortable with Chan sebab aku dah nampak sendiri what I want. I want the handlers one bukan handless...


So this weekend we will hunt the homedec 2012 at KL convention center, insyaAllah.


So here is the kitchen at show house. Planning to do a stainless steel for the isle. The removable one. we will see if that ever be materialized or another change of plan later yah!
