Our home reno: Carpentry up! Sofa bed booked!

Major milestone this week: Our carpentry has been installed! This includes kitchen cabinets, living room shoe cabinet + TV feature wall, study room table + cabinets, baby room's wardrobe and master bedroom wardrobe.

Our room skirtings have also been changed so progress has been pretty fast! 

Living room:
We love love love the TV feature wall and shoe cabinet. The light wood grained laminate goes perfectly with the white laminate and the contrast is just sooo nice. Totally very scandi to me. The carpentry workmanship's pretty good I must say. Looks like they used quality material. 




Kitchen:
Though the kitchen was pretty dark due to the lack of light, we could still see our woodsy cabinets and drawers. We really liked the colour of the laminate used. The  white table top has not been installed yet but we can imagine it looking clean and scandi =) We were only kinda shocked that the corner piping has not been concealed by any cabinet door. Really hope it can be covered cause it doesn't look good -.-




Study room:
The carpentry looks exactly like the 3D and we really loved it. Gerald is super happy about his room hehe. We were just a lil surprised that the width of the cabinets is quite narrow so we might not be able to store so much inside. The oak skirting was also really suitable and fit the carpentry nicely. 



Baby's room:
The wardrobe is so pretty! Nicer than the master bedroom's! Lol. Laminates used were the same as the living room's and we really really like the colour combination. Was not really happy with the new white skirting though... Kinda really regret changing it =( somehow the skirting doesn't look as clean and because its light in colour, the joints are pretty obvious. Same thing with master bedroom. 


Master bedroom:
The carpentry for our wardrobe was pretty good but we kinda regret picking the grainy white laminate. Looks kinda plain and not as nice as the wardrobe on baby's room. This means we gotta work on the decor of the room to make it look nicer and cozier! 


Overall, we're pretty happy with the carpentry works! We spotted a few areas to rectify but they're not significant and can be changed fairly easily. Gotta give a thumbs up so far! 

Anyways, apart from visiting our Punggol home today, we bought our study room sofa bed too! Visited tampines courts to confirm an orange and black sofa bed which I saw online. There was a brown version too but G preferred the orange one. It's pretty comfy and easy to convert to a bed. It cost $470 in total but we managed to get it at $370 with the $100 courts voucher we got from our ID. Whee!

  1. Hi,

    Thanks for this update on reno! It really looks good. I noticed you laminated your room flooring. May I know how much it cost to do so? Thanks!
