Boconcept Wool Carpet & Coffee Table

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 04:55:00 +0000

Finally! The 100% wool carpet from Boconcept has arrived together with the coffee table! We ordered it shortly after confirming the order for the coffee table. Was told that it would take 2 months to arrive but it only took half the time. The carpet is fully handtufted in India. I love the gradient pixelated design and the warm soft feel of the carpet while lounging on my sofa. At the moment, the carpet is shedding a lot now and should taper off.

Here's a pic of my living room with the carpet and the functional coffee table. The installers took a good 1 hour to fully assemble the coffee table. Smooth opening/closing movements from all table compartments.

The children organized all their VCDs and DVDs under the grey glass compartment which has a soft closing mechanism. As for the other 2, it's a very good height for me to put my mug. Loving my purchases from Boconcept.... oh they are having a store wide sale now. Too bad I bought my stuff earlier.

Feature Wall

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 01:43:00 +0000

This was how my feature wall looked like before the 'transformation'. Thanks to my ID who made the mistake of placing the feature wall in a position where the 'fish scales' design of the divider wall is partially blocked by the shelves behind.

Figured out a way to beautify the wall by adding GlassKote. Called up the sales rep : Kenneth Tang and he came over to look. No prob. Can be done. A few days later I received some color samples by courier. Decided on Metallic Bright Silver. Then I received an email with the invoice attached. The site measurement was done a few days later and deposit paid. In about one week's time, the tempered glass was ready for installation.

Installation time took less than an hour. The glue takes about 24 hours to completely dry. I feel that the feature wall looks much better and more classy now!

Functional Coffee Table

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 30 May 2011 04:22:00 +0000

We finally purchased the Bonaldo Pebble Coffee Table but after bringing it home, it appears to be a bit small..... so we decided to use it as a side table instead and purchase the functional coffee table with storage from Boconcept...... which is not very much bigger but it's more rectangular-ish instead of square-ish like the Pebble:

Bonaldo's Pebble Coffee Table or Side Table (can be used outdoors!)

Boconcept's Functional Coffee Table with Storage

The functional coffee table with storage can be customised. Choose between white/brown/black. As for the legs, choose between a few types : brushed stainless steel (matte effect) individual legs or something like what we chose above: chrome legs (somewhat cheaper and matches the sofa's legs). 2 of the table's compartments can be lifted up and stay that way (see above pic) and there's another compartment with tempered glass which can just be lifted up to reveal more storage space below. We chose a gray glass for that instead of white as shown in the pic above. Hopefully will look nice!

RM2995 + RM250 for delivery and assembly. 8 weeks to put together the order.

Glass Mosaic Tiles Backsplash

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 19 May 2011 07:48:00 +0000

I managed to 'recruit' an Indon guy who was working on my neighbour's condo unit to come over and install some glass mosaic tiles for me. The job was completed in about 2 hours. I supplied the tiles and 1 packet of while cement, all purchased from Houz Depot. I bought 12 pieces of the tiles - some extra just in case of any breakage and also to keep as spare for replacement in future.

Here's how it looks like from far. My yard area has a kitchen countertop but no backsplash. Since my MIL loves cooking here, no choice but to get a backsplash. Prior to this, I used aluminium cardboard to contain the grease and all.

Firstly, the guy used a hammer to roughen up the surface of the wall, Then he measured the tiles according to the space. Then mix the cement and lay the tiles. He also used a sponge to level the cement along the grout lines. Even then there are a few air bubbles trapped there. He also removed the plug point cover to ensure a nice seam. Overall, good job done.

Rectification Work

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 16 May 2011 06:39:00 +0000

After waiting patiently for about 3 months for the rectification work, I've finally decided that enough is enough. I told my ID from Desigva Design that I will not pay the balance sum (which is approximately 10% of the total) as she is not making very much effort to complete the rectification work. Her excuses each time I call "my boss is arranging the schedule, my boss says next week (but doesn't call me to tell me when)..... then when I can't get her, she will sms and say she will return my call but she doesn't at all.

The only thing which my ID managed to get rectified was the wiring. Their company has a new electrician which is very good and reliable. He managed to rectify all the mistakes that were done by the previous electrician. He also added the 6mm wire that I need for the Stiebel Eltron water heater.

Since I am now in charge, I got the technicians from Stiebel Eltron water heaters to check my remaining unit the 60EC. I've decided to use it after all as it provides INSTANT hot water unlike the DC-heater which I sometimes forget to switch on and it takes some time to heat up. Another downside is that the once the hot water is used up then it will be cold especially when 2 people want to take baths at the same time (one in the tub and the other using the shower) or one after the other. Anyway, the technicians discovered a blockage in the hot water piping which they promptly removed, thus enabling water to enter the water heater and thus enabling it to function! The Stiebel Eltron water heater does not need switch controls which was great cos no hacking necessary - just a direct connection will do. It has a built-in ELCB so no worries.

As for other rectification work, I manage to get Hello Handyman to come and remove 2 unwanted cabinet doors, and patch up some wrongly drilled holes in the flooring. I also managed to get an Indon guy who is one of the workers at my neighbour's unit to come and do some painting for me. Just some touch-ups here and there. I also called up GlassKote to give me a quote to make my feature wall look like a feature wall! *Sigh* the mistakes my ID had done...... will accept the wrongly done wardrobe for now. Will redo in the future when the kids are older.

Kitchen Stand Mixers Machines

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 01:40:00 +0000

Since I've started baking and cooking a lot more in my new kitchen, I've decided to invest in a kitchen stand mixer. At first glance, the Kitchenaid Artisan is so retro and stylish! Plus they come a wide range of colours e.g. tangerine and boysenberry pictured below. However the price is too high for me! RM2799! And it only functions as a stand mixer.

Decided to get Kenwood instead and they have a whole range of kitchen machines to suit different needs.

Their basic & compact model for light everyday usage is the Kenwood Prospero (pictured below). Available in 3 different models : KM260, KM262 and KM264.

The KM260 is the most basic model. It has a liquidiser attachment included. The KM262 has additional citrus juicer and food processor. The KM264 has additional mincer and centrifugal juicer.

The retail price range is from RM1259-RM1699 at Robinson's.

I ended up with the KM262 as Harvey Norman was having a special promo on all Kenwood kitchen machines. The KM262 is currently selling at only RM899! What a steal! I paid an extra RM89 for additional 2 years warranty on top of the 1 year warranty provided.

The specs for the KM262 :

Wattage : 700W

Weight : 5kg

Colour : White body with Silver dial.

Body material : plastic

Mixing bowl capacity : 4.3L

Tools : whisk, K-beater, dough hook

Attachments : liquidiser, food processor and citrus juicer

Comes with a free CD-ROM with 90 recipes and an introductory video.

Ori Silicone Cooking Utensils

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:03:00 +0000

With such bright colors, the ORI range of silicone cooking and baking utensils are very eye-catching! First noticed their booth at Mid Valley Megamall. They also have one booth at Pavilion. 50% of their product range are also available at Metrojaya Living Quarters and Parkson Pavilion.

Bought a number of items from them cos I like the striking and bold colours.

Reversible baking/pastry mat RM39.90 or RM31.90 depending on size.

Rolling pin RM59.90

Fold-up coasters RM22.90

Round coasters/mats RM16.90

Colander RM43.90

Bread/Cake knife RM13.90

Fryer/Turner RM39.90

All items are made from Silicone which can withstand high temperatures in the oven/stove plus they are all dishwasher compatible.

Lebensstil Kollektion Designer Cooker Hood Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 08:45:00 +0000

The cooker hood in action! The model above is the LKCH 9300 by Lebensstil Kollektion.

There are three suction power levels to choose from : low, medium and high. Just press the speed button to adjust accordingly. There's also a light button to illuminate the cooking area.

I find the cooker hood is effective in sucking up the cooking fumes and grease. When deep-frying, the kitchen floor was a tad bit oily but not as bad as without using a cooker hood. Most of the oil fumes were condensed inside the hood. The grease was mainly inside and on the filters. Had to clean the hood with soapy water after frying. However it was very easy to clean as the material is glass.

2 easily removable filters located inside the hood. Just pop them into the dishwasher and they come out clean and ready to for next use.

Overall, I like the design of the hood as it allows more 'head-room' above and also the good suction power plus easy maintainance.

Coffee Table

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 02:32:00 +0000

We are still searching for the perfect coffee table to complement our living room furniture. Been to a host of furniture shops e.g. Space Furniture, Haus Living, Vianni Mobili, Harvery Norman, Miva Furniture, Courts Mammoth, Ikea, Xtra, Gudang, Boconcept and XZQT.

Recently we were at XZQT Pavilion and the salesman there showed me a catalogue with their latest designer coffee table.

Wow, very eye-catching! The table has sleek clean lines with rounded edges and has a certain retro-ish look to it. Storage area below and easy to maintain.

The table is made in high quality smooth polyehylene (a hard wearing and fade resistant material) using a rotational moulding technique to create those smooth edges. The table can also be used outdoors.

Designed by Matthias Demacker under Bonaldo. We are keen to purchase the white (outside)/grey (inside) colour combination. The showroom model is at 30% discount whereas ordering a new one, we get 25% discount. As we are existing customers (purchased my dining table from them), we get additional 5% off on top of the 25% discount.

The other coffee table which we were also keen to purchase is the Functional Table by Boconcept (RM3195), Bangsar Shopping Center.

Bosch Dishwasher Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 08:38:00 +0000

Here's how the Bosch SMS50E12EU Free standing dishwasher looks like under the kitchen countertop. My kitchen designer removed the top cover of the dishwasher so that it could fit under the counter and appear integrated.

Very easy to use. Just load all the dishes into the pull-out baskets.There's also a cutlery basket not shown in the photo. I removed it to make space for the other bulkier items.

Fill the rinse-aid compartment on the left and the detergent compartment on the right. Recommended powder detergent is Finish. The dishwasher comes with 2 free tablet detergents which can be used in the detergent compartment as well. Refill the rinse-aid whenever the indicator lights blink. But for the detergent, refill for each wash cycle and the quantity according to load.

Once everything is loaded, close the door and just turn the dial to select the preferred program function. I usually use the 'lightly-soiled' function which washes at 45 degrees celcius. It washes very well and the dishes come out squeaky clean, dry and warm. The intensive load (washes at 70 degrees celcius) works very well with dirty pots and pans. Everything came out beautifully clean! Other functions include the eco function which saves water and electricity. The auto function allows a sensor to select the best cleaning mode for the items in the dishwasher.

Half-load function is good for washing a small amount of dishes. Vario-speed cuts down the washing time into half. These optional choices on the right hand side of the control panel can be selected once the main program is selected.

Am very impressed with my dishwasher although I initially had some wiring problems with it. The model came with a 2-pin plug which needed to be changed to a 3-pin plug. I didn't know that so I was happily using an adapter. My wireman said it was dangerous to do so as sparking occurs around the adapter. So my wireman changed the plug for me and I also checked with the technician from Bosch. However with the change of plug, my entire condo unit's power kept on tripping as soon as the dishwasher was switched on. The Bosch technician, Mr. Tan came to check and said the fusebox should be re-set to a higher level as it was too sensitive. Once the necessary change was made, the dishwasher was functional again.

Installation of DC Heater

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 10:15:00 +0000

The plumber came this afternoon and successfully installed the brand new DC Heater by Seers. As he entered the door he was asking me whether it's Joven or Alpha. Then his eyes set upon the huge box..... he was really surprised. He said he has never installed a DC Heater before. Anyway he checked the manual and said OK no prob - it's similar to the other storage tank water heaters.

He took about 2 hours to complete the installation. Had to drill holes on the wall in the plaster ceiling to support the water heater. The heater took about an hour to heat up the water. So far so good! Nice hot water in the shower, bathtub and mixers in the master bathroom.

DC-Heater

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 09:11:00 +0000

I mentioned in one of my earlier posts that I bought 2 Stiebel Eltron instant water heaters. I passed them to my ID and instructed the electrician to ensure that the wiring is changed accordingly to enable the water heaters to work. However, the electrician did not change the wiring...... although he claimed he did. After the plumber installed the water heaters, one of them couldn't work. Then I called the condo management to take a look instead. They sent 2 electricians and after checking they said that the wiring has not been changed to support the water heaters. In order to change the wiring, the existing 4mm wire needs to be removed and replaced with 6mm and 10mm wires respectively. Even the amperage is not enough. The maximum amperage is 20Amp but the water heaters need 32Amp and 45Amp. Unfortunately, all this changes would require hacking and a lot of work.

The condo management facilities manager came over to have a look too and she suggested that I purchase the storage tank water heaters as the bathrooms are designed for storage water heaters. She also mentioned that there were 2 cases whereby the owners also installed Stiebel Eltron water heaters without changing the wiring (they were also conned by their electricians!) and what happened was the wires connecting the water heaters melted and power supply tripped.

I've requested for a compensation from my ID because of her electrician's fault. My ID apologized and said she will send me another new electrician to check on all other wiring. I've since ordered another water heater from Bathroom Gallery Seapark PJ - just one unit for the master bathroom to try out first : Creation DC-Heater - horizontal type 40L for RM1500. The DC-heater is a storage tank water heater but consumes very low amounts of electricity. For complete info do check out their website : dc-heater.com

Kitchen Installation Part 7

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 07:44:00 +0000

Purchased the following items from Ikea and arranged for Hello Handyman to come install them.

1) Rationell Pull-out Waste Sorting Tray RM85

2) Rationell Compost Bin RM39

3) Rationell Waste Sorting Bin RM39 each

4) Rationell Variera Waste Bin RM12.90

I also purchased a mixer from Ikea as I felt the complimentary mixer from the developer is too tall for the peninsular. This mixer costs RM49.

Here's how the Rationell waste sorting tray and bins look like install inside the cabinet beside the double bowl sink. The Rationell Variera white basket fits inside too.

This is the other Rationell bin installed on the door of the cabinet below the round sink with the Ikea mixer.

LCD TV

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 05:17:00 +0000

Purchased my Sharp Charisma 32" LCD TV from D'Legend SS2 during their canopy sales just before Chinese New Year. Price was lowest amongst all other electrical shops : RM999. My DVD player is also brand new from Sony (lucky draw prize)

Wall-mounting the TV on a standard bracket costs RM180. Adjustable bracket costs RM260, inclusive of labour.

After the installation - our TV looks like this but I don't quite like the wires sticking out from the DVD player. So, we did this :

Only downside is to access the DVD player, we have to open the cabinet door but other than that, it looks much better - more minimalistic!

Master Bedroom

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 06:19:00 +0000

Ordered my queen size bed from Harvey Norman, Mid-Valley Megamall. We selected the type of bedhead that we wanted and also the bed base as there are a few designs available for mix and match. The bedframe is made from PU leather and we chose cream color.

The bedhead has 2 storage compartments - good for storing blankets, quilts or extra pillows.

Bed base has 4 pull-out drawers (2 on each side) - good for storing bags, bedsheets, pillows etc. Price: RM2300 inclusive of delivery and installation.

Purchased the bedside tables from Harvey Norman as well at the Ikano branch. The bedside tables are made from leather and were on clearance price. RM938 for both. Color matches very well with the bed. Most importantly, it's all soft without and sharp edges.

Curtains and Blinds

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 07:23:00 +0000

My ID gave me 2 contacts for the curtains/blinds. The first one I contacted was Mr Chai of Asia Wallpaper in Cheras. We met up and he showed me samples of the curtains and did the site measurement. The other lady I contacted was Mrs Ang but the price quotation she gave me was out of my budget. She was very persuasive and pushy... and I didn't like that one bit. So, I decided on Asia Wallpaper and total was RM3500 after discount. Mr Chai was very professional and very precise and reliable.

Bamboo blinds for the yard - more for privacy - no need to shield from rain or shine. So I chose the cheapest one available.

Roller blinds - silver grey. Black-out material and easy-care.

Same roller blinds as above here. Black-out blinds means that no light can pass through.

Black-out curtains with single aluminium track and french pleats plus curtain tie-backs. So not in love with the curtain tie-backs as they are very antique looking and bronze in color with a rose motive.

The living room curtains go up all the way to the ceiling and the curtain tracks and pleats are hidden by the pelmet of the plaster ceiling giving it a clean minimalist look. Be prepared to pay more for this! There are 2 curtain layers, one is solid silver with wavy lines and the other is sheer white. Double aluminium tracks used here and curtain tie-backs. Length of the curtains are slightly shorter so that it will not be 'sweeping' the floor.

Approx cost breakdown :

Bamboo blinds: RM150

Blinds in rooms : RM250 each - RM500 total

Master Bedroom : RM850

Living Room : RM2000

Kids Bedroom

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 01:17:00 +0000

Initial stage of the installation procedure for the children's bedroom.

Lots of spray paint used here - hence the newspapers. Even then my solid timber flooring is covered with fine drops of white paint. 5 layers of spray paint done in 2 separate times. Here are the finished results..... lots of mistakes here and there which will only be rectified after the Chinese New Year break.

Window bench with 3 drawers. My ID initially set the depth of the bench as 60cm. I commented that it was too deep and requested it to be shortened to 40cm but seems like the correction did not get through to the carpenters. The bench was completed with a depth of 60cm much to my dismay. However, this mistake was easily rectified and was done within a few hours. Even then, the depth of the bench is now 44cm. Well, at least we can now easily open and close the window above it.

Another mistake here is the cabinet on the upper right corner in the photo above. It's supposed to be open shelves but there are orange swing doors placed there. I've requested that the doors be removed but my ID says it's better with the doors. So, I've decided to accept the doors but the color has to be white instead of orange.

More mistakes here.... the walk-in wardrobe with the orange doors..... was wrongly done. Right now, I cannot walk into the wardrobe because of insufficient depth. The depth of the wardrobe is supposed to be 100cm (same as the width of the bed) but now it's only 65cm. It's only functioning as a sliding wardrobe now. Can't access the right side of the wardrobe easily. Another mistake here was the sliding doors. It's just supposed to be a single sliding door instead of 2 sliding doors as photographed. As for the cupboard beside the wardrobe, it's only supposed to have 2 doors - and not 4 doors as photographed. I've also requested my ID to change the depth of the cabinet to 40cm instead of 35cm. Somehow the dimensions were all wrongly done and I had to ask the carpenters to remove the semi-circular display shelves on the right of the cupboard as they extend too near the door.

Another mistake that I would like to highlight here is the orange sliding door above the single bed. It was wrongly done as a swing door. Actually it's supposed to be open shelving and a single sliding door. I have to also mention that the orange doors on the left of the bed are also wrongly installed. Instead of opening to the right, it opens to the left - most inconvenient.

This is the pull-out bed with castors. Can be placed anywhere in the room. I hope the rectification process will not take too much time and can be done by end of February.

Console

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 09:07:00 +0000

Initially the console was placed in the wrong position. Got the carpenters to move it higher so no stooping when opening the drawers. The console was also shifted nearer to the main entrance so it will be a good landing area for placing items when back home or to place items there that we need to bring out.

It has 6 drawers and a magnetic board for notices. Drawers can store letters/bills, stationery, keys etc. Very convenient indeed.

Dining Table & Chairs

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 14:52:00 +0000

XZQT delivered and installed the Calligaris Planet White dining table. Tempered glass top is super clear without any greenish bluish hue hence the name - Planet White. The table diameter is 120cm. Very sturdy and solid.

Here is the table photographed with 5 white Panton dining chairs which were bought from Space Furniture (Bangsar).

Living Room

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 01:24:00 +0000

Step-by-step pics of the living room cabinetry and feature wall being constructed. Spray paint finish and Formica laminates for the doors. Drawers are at the bottom. 3 LED eyeball lights to illuminate the cabinetry.

After fitting the doors, they are then removed for spray painting hence the newspapers.

After spray-painting, the final touch-ups.

Completed TV cabinet, display shelf and feature partition wall. Unfortunately, there are a few mistakes here. The feature wall's position is incorrect and because of that, the feature wall can't be fully seen and the partition wall is also too short. Some of the handle-less doors are difficult to open. Have to wait until after Chinese New Year for the rectifications.

Kitchen Installation Part 6

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 00:07:00 +0000

One week after the measurements were taken, the kitchen backsplash was installed. Very professionally done by GlassKote. The color I chose was Lightbox Grey. It's 6mm clear tempered glass with 10 year warranty. Panel above for the hob and another panel below for the sink.

Cost per square foot is RM50. Additional charges for flat edge polish at RM5 per foot run. Power point cut outs and corner cut outs are also charged. Total bill for my backsplash : RM2105. Loving the backsplash very much! Kitchen is almost complete! Oh, forgot to mentioned that the Orion mixer complimentary from the developer has been installed by the plumber..... who also installed my dishwasher and did the plumbing for the sinks.

Bathrooms

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 06:34:00 +0000

Master Bathroom - mirrors and shelving in place. Cabinetry below sink to hide unsightly pipes and also for storage. All cabinets are Formica laminates with aluminium frame.

Walk-in Wardrobes by Fiorenza

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 03:49:00 +0000

Purchased my wardrobes from Fiorenza during Homedec 2010. Price for an 8-ft wardrobe is RM3999. The 6-ft one costs RM2999 inclusive of delivery and installation. Bought 2 of the 8-ft package for a total of 16-ft length of wardrobe system. 12-ft allocated for my walk-in wardrobe (8ft by 4ft) and the balance 4ft is for the children's walk-in wardrobe.

Pic above shows the construction of the pelmet for the wardrobe. The interior walls must be painted prior to the installation of the wardrobe. The pelmet costs RM850.

We upgraded to solid silver glass doors at RM499 per door. Otherwise, the basic package includes doors with wood grain design which didn't really match our overall decor. The sliding doors for the entrance of the wardrobe is frosted glass with black glass accent - RM199 per door. The solid silver glass doors blocks shadows from the inside from being seen from the outside. If frosted glass, dark shadows of the clothing and items inside the wardrobe can be seen when the lights are switched on. Height of the doors are about 8-ft. If 9-ft doors needed, additional charges apply.

The very spacious interior of the walk-in wardrobe. The shelves and drawers are all in black glass. Both sets of drawers have locks. Lifetime warranty on the aluminium post system. Can be easily adjusted and removed if moving to another home or another room or to change the configuration.

This is the built-in cabinetry in the children's room inclusive of the wardrobe. Designed by my ID but the internals of the walk-in wardrobe supplied by Fiorenza. Numerous mistakes in the design. Redo can only be done after Chinese New Year. One of the mistakes involves the walk-in wardrobe. The depth is only 2 feet when it's supposed to be 3 feet. So, I can't walk into the wardrobe at all!

Yard

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 01:14:00 +0000

This is the 7-ft countertop at the yard which I intend to use for ironing and cooking. 9 drawers with aluminium frame and laminates plus Blum soft close mechanism for storage.

White solid surface countertop - local brand. RM160 per foot run. 3 plug points on wall added. Will install bamboo blinds here for privacy. Although the yard opens to the outside, the rain doesn't splatter inside and it's very shady here - no sun rays at all. Not a good place to dry clothes! Balcony is still the best but the condo management says no laundry on the balcony!

Kitchen Installation Part 6

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 06:30:00 +0000

Plaster box up completed for the cooker hood

Definitely look much neater this way - in the yard.

Glasskote has taken the measurements for the kitchen backsplash & installation already scheduled in a few days time.
