Progress of New House ~ Update 17 (FINALE)

A simple BEFORE and AFTER Photo-post to wrap up this series of blog posts on the renovation progress of my New House.

It is the LONGEST post among all the updates.
Not in terms of words, but in terms of the length you need to scroll down to reach the end of the post.

A LONGER living room now, after we shifted the storeroom into the kitchen.

Before the renovation, if I stand AT the Master Bedroom Door, facing the living room, I would be looking at the storeroom door; as it stood directly infront of me.

Now that we have moved our storeroom to the Kitchen, I will see my dining area instead with the storeroom on the right with the storeroom door at the left corner.

KITCHEN

We prefer to have a longer living room to a bigger kitchen. 

Actually, after we shifted the storeroom to the kitchen, I still like the size of my kitchen.

I would still regard the size of my 'shortened' kitchen as big.

*smile*

Many who came to my house could not tell that the storeroom was actually using the kitchen space because :~

• we LEVELED the path/walkway which linked the living room to the kitchen.
• we positioned the storeroom door to face the living room area (see photos of my storeroom above)

Its fun to use a little visual effect to make what's not to become what is or the other way round. *Grin*

The previous owner, a very friendly and nice old auntie, used to hang her clothes parallel to the kitchen windows, above the rubbish chute (scroll a few photos up and you can see her bamboo holder mounted on the ceiling.)

I used to have that Same Position for my bamboo holder in my old house and I disliked it, especially when I was drying long garments and bedsheets because :-

1. It blocked some sunlight and hence made my kitchen looked dimmer than it actually is.
2. When I need to close the windows, I will need to push the dangling garments away, which are hanging from the bamboos, to prevent my hair/face from being brushed.
3. Going in and out of the toilet also causes discomfort too as the dangling garments will comb the top of my hair.
4. Bringing the bamboos out to sun also requires me to turn the bamboo 45degrees, in order to get the bamboos out of the windows.

Enough is Enough.
Therefore, in my new house, I prevented all the above from happening by simply repositionimg the bamboo holders to the spot which you see in the last photo.

Now, even if I am hanging my bedsheets, I can comfortably walk into my kitchen without worrying if I need to push the dangling bedsheets away because there is still a good 1.5m of empty space from the entrance to the bamboo holder.
*Thumbs Up*

I love every part of my house.
But the part I love the most is actually my Master Bedroom toilet!
Probably the last place anyone would rank it on the top of their favourite list..........
 *laugh*

Aright,
that's it folks!
Its the Finale....
No encore please....'cos there isn't anymore to show!
 THE END.
