Happy New Year 2013 !! 
This Topic Continues To Another New Year. 

Kitchen Cabinet

After living with a cabinet-less kitchen, finally decided to cabinat-lize it.
A kitchen without cabinet is damm messy..

As for the design of the cabinet placing, initially I had my own design with all the cabinet types all figured out.
My design top and bottom cabinets are syncronized with a space for a built in oven (I even prepared a power point for it).
But with input from my boss lady and the cabinet supplier, my design was totally disregarded. 

The top and bottom cabinet are not syncronized as my cabinet supplier advised that it serves no practical and in my case asthestic purpose. Furthermore it will make some of the cabinets too narrow.
My built in oven plans was totally removed as my boss lady says that she does not use oven for everyday cooking. Will only use (if ever) to bake cookies during CNY once a year. (Cabinet supplier advised that oven/electrical product not used often will get damaged or malfunction)
Furthermore the oven will limit her drawer width and take up more cabinet space.
I just surrender at this point and console myself that I will be saving some $$$ from not buying an oven 

Decided to use a white glass surface as I want to reflect as much light as possible in my relatively narrow kitchen.

Finally the kitchen cabinet design turned out as below.

Install the bottom cabinet carcase first.


Then install the top cabinet carcase.


Fitting on the cabinet doors, drawers and fittings.


The Finished result 


Surprisingly the kitchen feels wider and bigger after the cabinets are installed.

nowadays good thing never cheap.
i notice that you used semangok ply (or sold wood?). my bookcase also used the same material. when the wood age, colour will turn darker and its very nice.

Dear friend, first check your budget and then work according to that. Otherwise you will have to suffer in future.  And one thing more,do something for the security of your home. It is highly required to make the home secure and safe. Best of luck!!!!

Very nice KC you have there. I personally prefer white glass surface for my KC as well. Good job! The finished results are great. By the way, your kitchen is not narrow at all bro

Wow...Good thing not cheap..

Nice walk in wardrobe. How big is it? Your master bedroom must be big.
I like the glass door with middle covered to prevent outside seeing all the messy stuff inside when the door is close.

Question -

Can you give me more detail on the
1- Slope tile on the of Sink.
2- What is the width or depth of you counter top? 600mm as per the tiles or 620mm (24") ?
3- Is the depth of 600 mm good enough for Stove?

4- Since you have tile for the wall and base of cabinet, why still install cabinet based and backing? Would that save some money? And any problem if water seeping tro it?

1. The slope tile is a "gift" from the tiler who is a relative. A very experienced sifu. No spec is given as he just did it up to his experience and skills. Good for water splash and clean up.
2. Follow tile width (600mm). Never heard of 620 mm tiles before.
3. Yup. Almost everyone do it this way.
4. Install cabinet without backing?!? Never thought of it.  Do not think it can save much, . Anyway if you think about it, a tiled wall may not be as even as you think..

After 6 months of renovating my house, now planning for concrete top for wet kitchen.
1- The slope was in my planning but again the Feng Shui was saying stove have to be lower than the sink.    . So.. If I did the slope, then the stove is higher than the sink.  
2- Yes, you can't find 620 mm tiles. But if I do the slope, it will be 600 tiles + 50 slope = 650mm.
Side wall 600mm and base 575mm. (my planning)
3- I find 600mm for stove is bit small. Having 600mm top,  the wok edge to the wall left between 25-50mm. The wall will be very hot.
4- Wall eveness is not a big issue here, cos u will put silicon to the join. And it so easy to clean even if it is wet.
As for saving may be not much.

I'm planning to order the panels and install DIY.   

Ahh .. Fung Shui, the more you know, the more  you get. 
If you want to do a concrete tiles table top with more than 600mm tile you have to accept joints unless you willing to pay big bucks Get those 800x800 tiles and cut to size .
Hot wall is not an issue if the wall can withstand the heat, anyway, do not think you are doing "Tai Chow" at home all the time.
As for silicone for the gaps, here is something for you to think about - silicone is soft and with the humid and hot condition in the kitchen can cause the silicone to get fungus. 
DIY ah .  . . wahhh... share your result lah.
