Nowdays, kitchen cabinet is an essential item on the reno list. "Happy family start with a good home made meal..." hahaha... home made cooking... macam tak percaya jer. Well, once dah ada own kitchen, no more excuse for not cooking. After all, it will inspire ladies to always be in the kitchen... cooking :)
~ my original kitchen space ~
We got the kitchen cabinet deal during CIMB Home Living exhibition, kononnya harga promotion. But after the exhibition, similar price also... hmmm... anyway, that's the best deal that we can get. Actually we booked from 2 different cos at that time, so have to cancel one of them since getting lower quotation from the 2nd co.
In progress
~ terpaksa alihkan original sink and piping, otherwise tak boleh buat L shape, done by own contractor/ plumber ~
~ the new sink, i love it because its blend in well with my table top ~
My kitchen cabinet built up : ~18 ft of base unit, 2ft of tall unit, 9 ft of wall unit and 3ft of wall paneling. Using solid surface table top and 3G glass panel.
Lepas booked and closed deal.. certain info being found out..
Solid table top - ada local and imported (Singapore, etc).. the difference local one is cheaper of coz... quality wise not sure but if you support BUATAN MALAYSIA and trust the quality that we have, then I think it is at par compared to what... Singapore... hmmm mcm sama jer... silap2 org2 malaysia yg bekerja kat Singapore (ada ker kilang solid surface top kat Sg.) the different only on the pattern. Of coz the so called imported one has more fancy designs. Masa kitaorg dpt quotation, actually the solid top is local made, tapi kitaorg tak tau pun sampai lah dah install.
Anyway, sebagai panduan kena tanya lah solid top tu local or imported for better bargain, in our case local solid table top was quoted at RM160/ft... but the other co.(the one that we cancel) quoted for RM140/ft after our cabinet is ready.... hmmmm a bit losses there..but the rest of the cabinet parts still lower... so tak ler ralat sgt sb cancel dgn co yg 1 ni...
Door panel... ini macam2 jenis... for current 'modern' type... acrylic and 3G glass... harga sama jer... the differences: 3G glass has better scratch resistance (katanya ler) but cannot be drilled through (that's why its come with built in handle)...and the color is less brighter which I prefer. To those who fancy striking color then go for acrylic.
Color that we chose for our kitchen is quite weirdo - grey brownish or brown greyish ... take your pick.. since the color a bit lain, ended up the cabinet side laminating has to be in white and the wall panel with glass shelving which is acrylic in brown. We also need to change the solid surface top from meadow (white with grey and brown spots) to snow flake (white with snow flake of coz :)). Sebabnya dah order 3G glass, then only dpt tahu itu tak ada, ini tak ada in that color... hmmmm... Compared to the other parts of the house, it looks like that my kitchen is a dull place to hang around :O
~ the new kitchen ~
Still need a new wall paneling in between the base unit & wall unit since the tiling for my kitchen wall is hideous. And the kitchen flooring even worst... hmmmm... both need to wait for another phase... (kalau lah ada another phase... surely not in the near future).. overall rasa mcm tak berbaloi pulak my kitchen cabinet for the cost that I have to pay... hmmmm.... not so good deal... or mmg harga zaman sekarang dah tak ingat dunia... :(
