The making of the kitchen

Yesterday Sunday service message was about procrastination and its bad consequences. While listening to the message i made an effort to list down all the things which i supposed to do but ended up in my procrastination list. 

I guess there is no surprise that blogging the back dated events was on the top of the list. SO, out of great shame and deep regret, i wrote this post the moment i went back home. Here comes the making of my kitchen. which occurred a month ago. ;p

Day 1: Basically cleaning up the space and hacking the wall for the electrical plug outlets
Day 2: Things getting intense as the contractor removed the existing build in cabinet and semen top

In between, there were dust everywhere, i nearly die of continuously stepping on dusty floor.


Day 3: Fill in the cement gaps
Day 4: New floor and wall tiles
1st Weekend: The credit of painting the wall solely goes to none other than Peter and myself. The funny thing was we painted the wall at NIGHT. We were running around in the morning buying the necessary accessories and meeting vendors, so for the two consecutive nights during the weekend,  we were in our most worn out clothes, climbing and painting the wall until its glow in white.  

There was more dust. 

2nd week: The subsequent week was all about the carpentry work. We have chosen a C shape black granite kitchen Top and glossy white wall cabinet. The chunk of the moolah went to the Fotile kitchen set which includes the suction unit, the induction electric ceramic cooker and the built in Oven. 

By the end of 3rd week. Our black and white theme kitchen was completed. 


I was in complete euphoric as there was no more DUST!!!
ps: Pardon the picture of the jars of snacks. Gosh I love the IKEA air tight jar!

very nice kitchen! Gosh!!!
By the way, how was your induction cooker? I wanted to try but most of my janmie oliver pots and pans cannot be used so i did not install. how was it?!

sorry it was ceramic top not induction. We decided to go for electrical ceramic cooker as it goes with any types of pots (which is a major issue for induction). The only advantages induction have over ceramic is with the right pot, the transfer of heat is very efficient and you will not burn your hand if you touch the surface. but other than that, ceramic top is as good as induction.

Its convenient, heat up very fast, but consume alot of electricity though.
