We are meeting with our contractor this afternoon. We are going to go through and hopefully finalize all the items included in the quotation which will take me closer to my dream home.
Although I must say the house is definitely in move-in condition but I still have 1001 things to touch up and adjust according to my expensive taste and my cikapot funding.
Here are the things that I would like to be done in the kitchen and dining room alone.
1) Hack current floor and assemble new flooring tiles (dining and dry kitchen only)
2) Hack tiles on concrete kitchen cabinet and change to new ones
3) Get new deep sinks and move current sinks from corner to facing window (north)
4) Install kitchen hob and hood at dry kitchen
5) Hack current kitchen backsplash and change to new
6) Hack wall tiles and plaster the walls for paint
7) Move food pantry cabinet from south wall to east wall
8 ) Seal off back door and create new back door at wet kitchen
9) Demolish the sink at wet kitchen
10) Plaster ceiling at dining room
11) Plumbing and wiring works
12) Change window panes to new
13) Change to those sexy sleek faucets
14) Paint all wooden kitchen cabinets
No 12 to 14 are highly depending on Azman’s tolerance on my gedikness, and stretch as far as the budget allows. When we first saw the house we had some thoughts about tearing down the entire kitchen cabinets and built new ones exactly the way we like it to be. But after asking the previous owner about the cost she spent on what we have now, the thoughts of total kitchen make-over was folded neatly into a tiny piece of origami duck and let sail away down the monsoon drain.
Our existing cabinets of solid nyatuh wood had cost RM17,000. In 1992!! Even though I believe the number included building extensions but… kalau aku gatal-gatal robohkan dan buat baru? Harga 2010? Agak-agak berapa?
Takpe lah nyah… mak pasrah… we are gonna have to make do. Kayu pun kayu lahhh… ingat nak yang kilat-kilat tu….huhu
mahal tuh kayu nyatoh. sini semua main rosewood adjer hehe 🙂
Nyatoh is solid! akak tak sabar nak pindah nih!!! uhuhuhuhu….
sama ah ngan aku, memula beria berangan nak tukar kitchen cabinet bagai tapi bila owner bgtau cost dia make over dapur sahaja sampai 10 ribu, aku pun pasrah jugak, takpelah aku pun jarang masak, hahaha….
marr, so ko renovate apa? aku tukar lantai dengan backsplash pun sakit otak pilih tiles… huhuhu..

Knizam, aku tak pandai la kayu2 ni… aku ingat yg mahal teak aje… rosewood tu ada bau rose ke? eheheheh

kak iena, saya ingat masa saya kecik kat umah atuk saya meja makan nye nyatoh… pastu skrg ni cam popular pulak org selalu sebut nyatoh2 ni…
Diyana…kalau nak buat makeover…kena buat betul2…kalau tak len kali nak buat lagik penat…orang kata dua kali kerja…
Teringin nak tgk gambar kitchen diyana yang dah di’makover’
Diyana, I pengsan twice just looking at the list you had to do to the house. =)
Takpe buat yg core dulu. cabinet ade fulus extra nanti can change. meantime can shop around for some nice ones with bargains.
good luck renovating.
wow! ni libatkan juta..juta..juta..ni! he he he bila jangka siap ni? tak sabar nk tgk..dapat tgk gambo pun jadi le..
kak anie, betul tu. tu pasal kami try buat semua reno works dalam rumah sebelum masuk. kalau dah masuk nanti nak buat lain pulak… konfirm rumah berdebu time tu… duit pun bazir…
