Whiteqube: Fixing Stage

27 March 2009

Fixing stage commences. Wonder what lies in wait this time round ...

Entry at 0800 hours

Fixing stage to my knowledge generally consists of the installation of fittings and fixtures. But the only exciting fact about the inspection this time round is that the kitchen joinery is up.

The most exciting image for this entry

Island Bench

Overall I cannot say that there is much to be hyped up about this house in terms of colours. We chose the blandest, most neutral shade there is. The benchtop though, is another matter. It is in shiny, glossy black laminate simply known as "Asian Nights".

On a closer inspection, I have come to realise and accept that beauty ultimately comes with a price. We speculate that the shiny, glossy benchtop may be prone to scratches and watermarks. Still, a weekly maintanence routine should do the trick.

Besides the kitchen, joinery is also installed in the wet areas.

Bathroom ensemble

We went with the same combination of dark benchtop and light cupboards for the contrast. The light colours on the cupboard is just a safe option and the dark colour for the vanity bench is chosen so that we can kill ourselves cleaning it.
