Modern country living room

Hi.

These are all my favorite style when it comes to living room design.

I love country style. Mylocx loves modern contemporary style and he likes country too as long as it's not too crowded and overdo and too classic. Haha.

One thing in common..we love neutral shades.

If we combine our taste...hmm it'll be a modern country style.

And i think, modern country style is not bad at all. Here i listed some of my favorites for modern country living room..(not sure if mylocx likes them;)

Daa..

Floor Depot: Floor measurement

Haritu dah bayar deposit for Floor Depot during the IDEA exhibition at One Utama. So after setting the appointments with one of the crew, he paid a visit to our newly purchased home on 7th july with range of samples (laminated flooring) and did the measurement.

He's a friendly malay guy. At first, he's sketching the plan of the house and start doing the measurement. Upstairs tu (including stairs) lantai parkay dah ada yang rosak. Dia suggest buka dulu parkay2 tu semua baru pasang laminated floor tu. Downstairs (living room area) is marble floor. Yang marble floor tak payah cabut whatsoever boleh terus pasang atas marble tu. Cuma skirting je derang akan tanggal.

For the kitchen area, dia suggest letak cabinet dulu baru derang datang pasang flooring. Jimat sket sebab tak yah letak kat bawah kitchen cabinet tu.

We asked quotation for the whole interior of the house except bathrooms. Still not make up our minds yet nak pasang flooring kat seluruh lantai rumah atau tak tapi yang pastinya upstairs memang nak ganti semua. So ask for the quotation dulu, and kalau rasa2 ok n cukup bajet nak pasang for the whole house proceed je la. Kalau tak nak, boleh cancel mana2 area yang tak nak tu.

Laminated floor is to be installed last sekali...bila contractor n wireman dah settle semua kerja including fixing, painting, installing, cleaning etc etc.

Next step: Calling for the contractor and wire-man.

Will update more later.
daa.

White Kitchens

To be honest, my taste is traditional / rustic white when it comes to kitchen design. However, we already signed up for a promotion which is not using a wood material for the kitchen cabinet. Coz as we know, wood material is very expensive. But still, i opt for white no matter which material is used. But high gloss kitchen cabinet is a no-no for me n mylocx. We dun like modern minimalist design. Thinking to replace the traditional country look with classic contemporary look sebab tak dapat nak pilih wood kitchen cabinet.huhu.

Why do we like white?

Think it's an ideal setting for the home cook. Clean, crisp and bright. Don't u think so? Love it! And dapur yang kecik pun boleh nampak luas dan tak serabut. Besides, wood finishing looks richer against white, printed fabrics pop even more and lighting fixtures will stand out.

We're not picking the design yet. Only agreed with the promotion offered. Deposit is RM500. Kalau tak jadi burn aa duit tu. Tapi insyaallah tak cancel dah kot coz dah consider macam2. Hopefully they're worth it. Nanti after set appointment, derang akan datang measure and design (up to us) then baru sesi pilih memilih bermula. Hehe.

Actually, i suka design IKEA jugak tapi 0% installment only for IKEA credit card. Kalau card credit lain bukan 0%. Riba' plak kan. huhu. Signature Kitchen design looks very nice too. But too modern for my liking;) Kian Classic is ok ok la.. But people said Kian Classic is very good at promotion n finally ketuk orang kasi mahal. haha..

Actually, we have to know what we want..and at least know a bit of what they're saying. Do your research on kitchen cabinet, materials used, materials needed etc etc.. Kalau dapur lama dah ada hob/hood/oven misalnya, n still elok, tak payahla amik package yang ada benda2 tu semua. So nanti tak dela terkezut tengok price quotation tu sangat mahal compared to the initial price yg derang kata. Normally, initial price yg derang kata murah tu guna material yg murah jugak n tak termasuk accessories bla bla bla.. I think the normal price for good quality kitchen cabinet is around 10k above kot.. n depending on the size la.. (just my 2 cents)

Take a look at these following designs... Lovely aihh??? ;)









Till then. Daa...

IDEA 1 Utama

Been to 1 Utama last friday n we ended up paying deposit for the Floor Depot and Kian classic. Well, actually memang dah study n buat research kat internet sket2 so hopefully they're worth it. I'll update more later;-)

Space under the stairs ideas

Home & Design

Hi..

This is home & design-related entry. It's for our future reference.

Hmm.. we've gone for a little tour to our future house. Like i said, it's not a new house. Quite old actually. Hehe. So we're not that surprise if the house is not welcoming at all. Frankly said, there are quite a lot of things need to be done. Hmm...remodeling i would say.

The things i hate and wish i could get rid of them once n for all:

- The parquet floor on the stairs n upstairs.

- The bathroom doors, and old mangkuk tandas.

- The upstairs and kitchen windows. (Dun ask me why.haha)

- The paint of the interior.

- The old kitchen cabinet.

- Dan...... pokok mangga besar depan rumah.hahahaha..

Ok enough of those things. Hopefully we can do something about it and the concern now is the budget. We'll see how it goes later.

About the stairs....i have a few options in mind. I love these...

Sometimes people overlook the stairs but it actually can affect the look of the interior of the house. I love hardwood flooring for stairs but it's costly, so i guess laminated flooring probably the good option.

To make the ideas come to life......we gotta get creative. Huhh.. this probably the hardest part? Maybe?

Daaa..
