The heart of the house

Gitu gini masuk tahun ketiga dah since the day letak deposit kat umah spk. Sept ke oct 2012. Dapat kunci masa puasa 2013. Start reno extent kitchen n upstair from jan 2014-oct2014. Adalah repair gitu gini, bumbung bocor, gutter tak pasang etc, mac baru ni i setelkan. 

Kagum dgn tahap kesabaran diri sendiri hahaha. Gilalah dealing dgn all these people. Ulang alik spk puchong 2 kali sehari sbb nak bukak n kunci balik pintu. Nasib tak flat tengah jalan. Zafri paling kesian, membesar dlm kereta, makan dlm kereta, nap dalam kereta, tantrum dlm kereta, nenen pun penah masa mama tgh drive (bad mommy). 
The only space that we have, approx 14'x18'. No dry or wet kitchen. It will be combine into a single kitchen. I ok je. Yg kena kemas, sental kang i jugak kan. Satu cukuplah. Yg penting enough storage space. I tak tahan semua benda atas worktop. Makin lama barang makin banyak. Note to self, stop buying (ye lah tu). 

Looking at hundreds of photos on insta n houzz and choose the above as guide to how i want my kitchen to look like, senang nak tunjuk kat kedai. Tapi tak dapatlah that marble like quartz stone. Darn expensive! Kita setel dgn ivory cap ayam quartz stone. But i get few samples and run my own destructive test, n chemical test on it. Some fail, some prevail. Oklah, sedap jugak hati walopon tak dpt original ceaserstone. 

Went to all available kitchen cabinet maker in puchong and also went to Bofi and Verra. The last one i visited was intech kitchen in kajang. Jauh giler.  Atas ni one of the set kat intech showroom. Actually i like Bofi the most.  Maybe showroom yg sangat classy and elegant so tu yg jatuh hati. Tapi harga sangat mahal utk standard rakyat makan gaji bulan bulan, in my case, housewife yg kena dpt kelulusan bajet dr laki. They quoted me more than 60k. Pitams.
Verra quoted less than Bofi but still way out of budget, around 40k.
Intech quoted slightly more than other cabinet specialist in puchong, emmm about the same as sci kitchen. However intech has the material that i want. So we agreed on intech.

The final design. Nothing glamorous haha. Jauh sekali dari standard showroom kat Bofi. But i planned everything. Harap takde tertinggal apa2 yg penting. Hmmm. Eh belum beli filter tap n filter sinki je....gggrrrrrr.

  1. Saya pun buat dapur dgn intech kitchen puas hati, 4G jugak, dapur saya kecil sket (slim sket) 11 x 24 feet je, dari your kitchen. Kalau rajin kemas mmg cantik dapur, rasa best... tapi sbb saya x berapa nak rajin, dan x berapa creative, nampak okay2 saja...
