Hood, hob, oven, sink delivery

Today i purposely took 1.5 hrs off during lunch to go to my house wait for the delivery with M. All items delivery we have informed them to come from 1pm to 2pm.

Glass fixtures

We discussed about kitchen door and other carpentry items with ID on 8 October. We decide on the beige/cream solid surface with some speckles for kitchen cabinet. Its the frm new Cresto selection I tink. Our bottom kitchen cabinet is walnut colour. Top cabinet is cream/beige with some lines. For vanity top we chose black dust with glass cabinets below. Shoe rack is using a combination of shiny and matt laminate material.

The feature wall is also up liao, but to be painted and tic-tac door to install later.

Last week we inform ID that we wanted frosted glass for kitchen door. He suggested that clear glass will be nicer, but i still prefer frosted glass. So in the end he suggested some patterns of frosted and clear and i told him my preference. We also told him we wish to repaint one of our bedrooms. He wasn't quite happy and want to charge us extra :(

He also helped us to change our bedroom handle to lever type. M actually wanted him to absorb the cost but he insisted that he has given us quite a no of free items and reached the max. M didn't want to bicker with him over small item so just pay. Anyway it is also not v expensive.

Now the kitchen door is finally installed! However, we find that the handle is different from the one we selected with our ID! Our ID told us it is because the handle we selected will bang against the wall so he selected another one with indent for us. I tried to use the handle and discovered that the indent is too small for my fingers to stick in.

Complained to ID about the handle and he agreed to let us change :)

Furniture - Bookcase, dining table, TV console

We decided to buy a TV console for our TV. We have bought our 29 inch TV at the recent warehouse sale at a big discount.

We went to furniture mall and find that their furniture set is not v interesting and worth it. However we do find a shop at the entrance called budget furniture and they sell nice console, dining set and coffee table at economical price. We took their namecard as consideration.

Next we travel to Funan centre Vhive but find that the TV console selection is v few. I suggested to go to their other branch at Great World City. We stopped by Liang court to visit Audio house and see their electronic products. We find that their prices are no much lesser than other great stores like Courts/best.

At Great world city vhive, we find a lot of selection of living, bedroom, study, dining, everything. I think it is the biggest vhive store so far. We find nice TV consoles and bookcases. We spent 1.5 hours deciding which ones to take.

Here are our consideration and final selection:-

This is the TV console we ended up buying.
