I know this post will be a lot more interesting to read if it was complemented with pictures, but at this point I am just too lazy to upload them in here! Heheh but things are moving along really fast with our house, and I just can’t wait for Saturday to come, so I can see the 98% completed work.
What has been done so far:
- Whole house painting: Wow, the choosing colours process was really a long one. I guess it’s only because I am too indecisive and can’t make up my mind on all the beautiful colours. But in the end, we’ve got this settled. Pinkish purple highlight for the dining area wall, while the rest of the living room stays white. All white for kitchen ceiling (no walls to paint, as the entire kitchen will be filled up with cabinets and black tempered glass back splash). And for the bedrooms, navy highlight and white for the rest of the walls.
- Bathroom accessories all up: I can’t wait to use the rainshower in the master bathroom!
- Changed toilet window for common bathroom and new grills for the service balcony
- Bought ourselves a Kitchenaid blender and Zwilling knife set
Things that will be completing by this week:
- All the built-ins, including kitchen cabinets (and pull outs), feature wall in the living room + customised photo shelf (got this idea from the photography studio that we went in Kuching to take our family photo), built in wardrobe, study table and shelving for the master bedroom
- Most of the electrical works (Our electrician is really like a lazy donkey. Only upon getting scolding from our contractor, will he move his ass to get our wiring done!)
Things yet to do:
- Choose curtains! Ahhh more headache….but have gotten a quote from a shop at my office area, not very happy with the fabric selection (altho price is cheap). So will be walking down to Textile Centre tomorrow to get quote from another place. Recommended by my colleague. Hopefully we can get this settled soon.
- Buy kitchen necessities (e.g. pots n pans, rice cooker etc)
Happening this weekend:
- All our furniture are coming in: 3 beds, L-shape couch, TV and dining table set
- House blessing: Have contacted Fr Terence from St Anthony’s Church to bless our house
- IKEA: Time to source for a bookshelf, and some misc items for the house
Looks like it’s gonna be busy busy for the next 2 weeks! How fast time flies….we will be moving in next saturday!
