Well, from the picture alone, looks like the cabinets are from Ikea. If I remember correctly, the shorter frosted cabinet costs RM280, the longer one should be RM400++, the white cabinets should be slightly cheaper than the frosted ones. The single bowl sink costs Rm540 excluding tap and installation. Looks like it's just a dry kitchen to me cos got only one burner. Other factors gotta take into account... like are you gonna tile the kitchen again, power points, cooking hood etc...

The black cabinet really got selling in IKEA, but never check for the price. But u sure it only cost RM 280? Sometimes i hate to go IKEA, because they break their items and sell it seperately. Make me feel confused sometimes. |

QUOTE Ya biggrin.gif if I remember correctly, for the shorter one it is 70 cm in width. There are a few types of boards to choose from eg, high-gloss foil/melamine foil/painted finish. The one I saw costs RM120 for the boards(not sure wat's the type though) and RM160 for the frosted glass door. Don't forget to add in installation charges too. biggrin.gif you working at IKEA? |

Bingo! I'm a new fan of IKEA because I'm also looking for stuff for my future house Yes, it's looks cheap if you look at that one wall cabinet alone, you might need fillers, cover panels, decorative strips etc to customize your kitchen. Example, two short wall cabinets and four longer ones already cost you RM1700++, if you add them individually. Why don't you drop by ikea and ask them, I might wrong on certain things. IMO outside contractors ain't cheap either, who knows they might mess up with your cabinets, better get ikea ppl to do installation for peace of mind. |

But if we can find a recommended contrator from relatives or friends, then should be fine geh. But, even go IKEA also is a very good idea. Just that recently, i found out that the design and quality from IKEA had some how dropped a lot. And the places is like too crowded with ppl and u got no personal sweet time to look at the items there. *Simply because i only got time to drop by there during weekends lar ... As usual, any shopping malls in KL is crowded with ppl during weekends. |

Well if you are a fan of IKEA like me, maybe you might be interested in their planning tools for kitchen.
http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_GB/rooms_ideas/splashplanners.html Just download it and you can actually design your kitchen for your space with ikea stuff.... is very easy to use too.... But i do heard the ikea quality drop quite a lot recently, infact, i bought 3 chair from them and all broken within 1/2 year time. SO i really dunno, but the design still look great to me.... so good luck there... Suggestion : maybe u can try find the ikea design, take photo then show to the local reno contractor, see how the price fair..... material wise, look before choosing.. |

For kitchen cabinets, it's good to get from IKEA, for other furniture maybe can get from elsewhere.
You can checkout this site for ideas, it's a fansite |

ikea things is cheap. but if ur getting kitchen cabinets i suggest u look else where. can get better deal. and somemore ikea has install charges. its not free and not included in the amount. im doing my kitchen cabinet also. installing on the 19th this month. i got from other kitchen supplier. i quoted the same thing as per ikea design. saved RM1k. saved on the install charges.yes, their install charges is not cheap. install 1 cabinet is bout RM30 (or more) i think. u have 5 cabinets, there goes RM150 for installing the 5 cabinets alone. the rest of the things? table top? etc...??? last i quoted my installation charges was RM1150!
u can ask ikea ppl to come up to ur house and draw u an exact measurement of ur kitchen also. they charge RM30. and if u really get the kitchen cabinets from them, they rebate u back RM30. the pict u posted need at least RM8-10k (not include fridge/microwave and other eletrical things). those are solid stop (man made stone). not ABS melemine (chip wood). and the bottom drawers are all sprayed with car paint. hence the glossy effect. those frosted white top cabinets are not expensive. but it does depends on the size ur getting. the bigger they are, the more expensive. from the pict my guesses are 900mm width. price range bout RM200? anyone has questions bout kitchen cabinets, can ask me as im doing them now. so the info is still fresh on my mind. LOL.... |

ur house is developing rite? u can actually go to ur house now and ask them to build a cement kitchen top for u. just speak to ur developer. some developer will accept and build for u. cement top is always better. get ur own sink and ask them to cement it in for u as well. then when complete, u just need to build the cupboards and top cabinets. but u must be there to supervise la. cause if they do wrong u can tell them to change. its like getting a contractor or a middle men to do it but in this case, ur the middle men. save abit lo but burn time la... money and time dont usually goes well together.
jootat, yep... white is very very hard to maintain. if u cook regularly, even worse. u need to use thinner to wipe it first when complete... then every week once use normal light soapy water. must maintain la if u wan looks. if u wan practical, go for brown or dark colour. but not nice.... thats just me la... i dont like. i dont mean u guys.... up to personal preference..... solid top last longer but it does depend on ur maintanence also. now there is this 80%-100% arcylic top. very very nice.... can get in any colour u wan...mostly all colours la... but cannot take high heat. if kena, melt wan... lol... but nice.... very nice.... my wardrobe RM4.3k. custom build to 10feet++. mostly wut u see in leaflets is all 8feet in length and 10feet in height. the dresser side is actually shelves but i told the salesperson i wan to convert into a dresser with drawer. u buy ur own mirror and DIY install lo... just bring ur floor plan (or u measure the space urself, thats wut i did) and go into any wardrobe shop and ask them to quote. then u choose a affordable one.

To me, 2 years is short, because i have so many things to do in these 2 years time. I have to start doing research what are the budget i need to prepare for the renovations and furniture. Where and how to get a nice furniture & etc. I believe everyone that had a house right now will go through the same stage as what i m going through right now. But i just hope to see my house fast fast complete and i can start moving in asap .... |

To me, 2 years is short, because i have so many things to do in these 2 years time. I have to start doing research what are the budget i need to prepare for the renovations and furniture. Where and how to get a nice furniture & etc. I believe everyone that had a house right now will go through the same stage as what i m going through right now. But i just hope to see my house fast fast complete and i can start moving in asap .... Downside is products that you liked 2 years ago may become end of life and no longer available to purchase. Also price quoted at that time may no longer be valid 2 years down the road. Who knows there are always better deals around, if you buy early you might miss out on good deals. Like Cavenzi in Puchong they always have sales and lower prices At the moment I'm resisting buying any furniture too early before I move in because I don't feel like buying stuff keeping in the old house the shift everything a second time when I move out... Do check some shops esp. furniture shops can book and keep your stuff about 3months before delivery! Some can even customise the furniture to your liking QUOTE(jootat @ May 23 2007, 02:02 PM) that's just perfect .... u need a small chair and place it inside the wardrobe now ... Very good idea u had there ... I will buy ur idea ... hahaha That's not a wall is more like a plaster wall or wood board they use to cover up... the actual wall is covered over... And about the cost, i think quite reasonable ... i will add that into my budget now. But how many wardrobe u had made for ur own house? My house have 4 rooms, 1 small room probably for storeroom or half storeroom and half room. Anyway, Now we had cover kitchen and bedrooms ... is time for me to post another photo ... haha ... Living room .... please give comments as well. I just wondering, if the LCD screen is place on the wall, how do we cover the cables? If you visit some furniture shops in Puchong they have something like that but not as syiok to look at compared to your picture lah... This post has been edited by aaronpang: May 23 2007, 02:16 PM |

practical = more durability material (costly abit), dark coloured cabinets
looks = light colour cabinets, cheaper range material (cheaper) im using ABS top now. for me to change to solid top will need me to fork out additional RM2.5-RM3.5k. depending on the type of solid top i wan. for me, RM2.5k can get me a master bed and dining set already. so... yea, individual taste. but how also, kitchen cabinets will need maintenence. if not how expensive the cabinets also will get destroyed. |

But i can't fully use the money for renovation also lar ... need to keep some for marriage also leh? that's why now very the headache also lar when i think of it. but i think it is good to start planning earlier also lar. If without proper planning then at the end of the day, we get nothing. and that's why i m thinking, how to have a simple design + it look nice + it is not costly ... lol ... that's why i need to refer to some books and get the concept of it ... at least i have some idea how to give some simple design? i donno lar ... everything like crap crap crap and crap ... lol any how my house still under construction ... and next month going to pay the interest ... sometimes feel like sell it away and go and buy some other house that don have to wait so long .... lol ... |

What u guys think? ikea roxx...lolx..Probably he is super fans from IKEA ... hahaa ... |

If the wall is large, try leaving it to the professional. try going into any paint / hardware shop and ask them to recommend a painter for you OR you can try asking them for stuff you need to DIY paint the wall...then you ask them how to paint lor. i'm sure they are more willing to assist you. if you want your home interior to look uber cool and personal, try surfing to this e-shop website @ www.somethinurby.com. you can read my earlier posting here |
