Project "Our Hive": Colours Brighten Up Our Home

Thousand apologies for not writing here for ages. These past few months I have been bogged down with work while finding time to settle our home renovations. Speaking of home, I just realised that the last time I jotted down our progress here was more than 3 months ago. At that time we had just finished all construction and wiring works and we had moved on to the interior design, in particular the kitchen. I thought that the kitchen would be installed by the end of May but I was overly optimistic.

It turned out that our kitchen designed required us to get the kitchen sink repositioned. After a few weeks being busy with work, we only managed to get a contractor to do the repositioning at the end of April. We also asked the contractor, Mr L, to put up a brick wall at part of our front fence and to paint the living room and all bedrooms. The decision to paint the walls was not in our initial plans but I felt that a white house looked kind off boring.

So, two weeks ago, I finally made up my mind on the colour scheme and we went to buy the paints. We decided to go with Ni*ppon Odour*less in Classic Silk (brownish beige) for the living plus dining room, Pink Camellias for Maisarah's room (this was her choice), Blue Trace for the guest room and Blue Trace with Parlour Blue feature wall for our room.

Anyway, the paint work is done. The front fence brick wall is up but our kitchen sink is yet to be repositioned correctly due to some miscommunication. I'm hoping it will be done by next Wednesday when our lights and fans are to be delivered and installed. Yup, we've bought our lights/fans at Ten*Gro Lighting in Pu*chong last Wednesday and we got 30% discount on all lights from the booking we made during the Home*dec Fair we attended last April.

And today, our master bathroom shower screen was installed. This was also bought during Home*dec. I'm really loving the shower screen! We also have got our windows measured so we'll be dropping by Baa*gus Curtains in Cheras soon to finalise our window dressings. Our last major work to be done is the kitchen. I'm now aiming for the cabinets and our wardrobe to be installed by mid July. Then we just need to get all furnitures and appliances in before we can move in. It sounds simple but you'll never know what else can happen.

So, I'm praying hard that there will be no more delays. Anyway, above are pictures of my shower screen (please ignore the dirt in the bathroom), a snapshot of the Pink Camellia walls in Maisarah's room and our Parlour Blue feature wall. I'll update more once our lights are installed. I can't wait for next Wednesday!
