Hi Guys,

My desire is to have a king size bed. a big big computer table, a glass display cabinet to put my 8-9 MG size gundam.

also there are 2 aircond needs to be installed, 1 heater. Kitchen cabinet developer kao dim as per their brochure.

If there are some freelance here can help me do the id drawing, I dont mind paying if the charges is below 4 digit.

It's called a Murphy Bed.

In the next photo you can see a hinged joint on the L shaped base of the table that folds and lowers as the bed is revealed.

In the video below, the dining/queen bed combo is at the 1.30 mark.



SOURCE: Resource Furniture

Hafele also has Murphy kits for a Queen size but they don't seem to be available for the Malaysian market. They do have the Tavoletto which converts a single bed to a desk. You should still head to the showroom to discuss hardware options and mechanisms just so you have a better understanding in person (and maybe check on the availability of a Queen kit). They also have a sale coming up.

EDIT: Resource Furniture ships to port as well so if you're interested, drop them an email.

great share, but they seems to have office in KL and SG only. Buying from SG is nearer but its cross border = kastam tax. Buy from KL shipping gonna cost a bom. rclxub.gif

If you have the budget or wiggle room, maybe move your deskspace to the living room instead? And then hide it behind a cabinet facade or a false feature wall. Maybe even make it look exactly the same as your closet.

That way you don't have to go back and forth from your work area to the kitchen or bathroom.

I considered that before. The reason i put my desktop there is because sometime I like to lie on by bed and watch movie. With that positionn i place My TV. I can't watch it from there. So i still have a desktop to watch drama if I wanted to.

Saw this online.

The floor plan layout is different but it still has a rectangular shape and a 1 studio rm condo layout which you can probably take some interior ideals from?

Actually I was thinking why don't you build a 3-in-1 piece that can serve as wardrobe, display cabinet and act as a partition to define bedroom and living space
*
Doesn't work for mine as well as mine is a lot wider. as for Water heater system, You guys think this is reliable? saw this on the home fair last saturday. looks tempting.

http://www.renergy.com.my/product.html

price also affordable.

Small tank RM2800, Medium 3100, large 3400 including 10 feet hot water piping and installation.

Wont use Electricity and the water is hot until got smoke one when i see it that day.

Why not you put two bedside tables instead of one? I like the layout to be balanced, just my personal preference.

You might not see it now, but you will need space for storage, small stuffs can be put in the wardrobe, but bulky stuffs such as ladders, vacuum cleaners, even things like broom or mop has to be stowed away to make your space look tidy. Perhaps you can consider installing wall storage, keep things away from the floor.

I agree with you. Thats why my sofa and bed all can open and store stuff below it. If you look at the Ikea catalog, You will know what I mean. As for bed, I bought the hydraulic model. Can open up and store stuff below it.

Anyway after look look see see, Looks like there are a lot of unused space. This saturday will get ID to go onsite to give me quotation then see what's their suggestion.

There should be a 1 year warranty for defects/workmanship by condo developers I think.

In your case, you can call them up saying defect/workmanship issue for the edges, cement stains on toilet tiles. But for water tab and shower head that is not installed - do check other units to see if these units come with them. If they do, you can complain to them why your units do not have them

I met the construction worker at level 5 (my club house level with other units as well and they are installing the water tabs there now). Its a indonesian lady. i told her i collected key already but my house don't have the tab. She reply me "tengok la, tengah sibuk ni, nanti baru kita pasang, skrg tingkat 5, lu tingkat berapa, nanti kita naik la". I am wondering how can the developer hand me the key without even completing everything hmm.gif . It is because they want to save on the compensation cost (as my project is delayed) so they quickly hand us the key first?

oh ya, another thing to add, they prepared all the TNB forms for me, but they tell me you cannot submit it to TNB first. They are still checking the power and meter at the building. You can only submit it 2 weeks later....
in my mind I was thinking (WTF, means I cannot start my renovation until 2 weeks later? how to rush to move in before CNY la like that cry.gif)

Stuff that I purchased from Taobao arrived. Look how messy is my house now with all the boxes.

user posted image

Check 1 of the item that I purchase. A garden set to be put on my Balcony (smoking area tongue.gif) looks good. the tempered glass not broken or scratch.. quality same like the one I check out in local furniture shop, Its better because it comes with cushion thumbup.gif

user posted image

Since only Balcony not doing renovation, I unpacked 1 item only. I just hand itchy see how they pack my Sofa.. Looks like they very pro... 3 layer packaging. 1 guni style bag, 1 cloth base and 1 bubble wrap.. did not dig in further.

This one I believe is my coffee table. But didnt plan to unpack yet since my ceiling contractor just start work today. Scare later very dusty.

I hired a local contractor... very efficient. He is major in Plaster ceiling and wiring. He come with his wife that day, look look see see, within 10 mins, he gave me quotation on the spot. engage him directly. (because all other contractor I ask previously all say will let me know in 3 days end up after 2 weeks also no news). He came alone today (the boss) and do all the power socket extension for me... he also say today he no worker. so he will come alone and unload all stuff and will start working on Monday and Tuesday. He expect to finish work latest by thursday.

Below picture are all the plaster boards he unloaded and kept in my house currently.
