Removing window grills

On December 13, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Home

So the ugly aluminium window grills have been getting on our nerves for a while. It chopped up our view into little slices, were difficult to clean, had hard edges which the hubs has injured himself on a few times.

And instead of paying someone to do it for us, we *legasp*, DID IT OURSELVES. Ok himself. I provided good ol’ moral support and a bit of elbow grease at the very last part.

This is the hubs hard at work removing the screws that held the grill in its place:

The plaster started coming off in little white crumbs… descending gently from the ceiling; much like snowflakes, only less romantic.

And this is the end product!

Does it look amazing or what? Unobstructed view, easy cleaning.

I love it!

 

Kitchen Moodboard

Just wanted to share some of my kitchen moodboard photos. I’ll probably do up a post with the renovation progress when I sort out the mess that is my life.

Basically the idea is a very neutral palette of cool grey, white and aluminium finishes.

My kitchen is tiny so the white cabinets will create visual space and also blend with the white wall tiles. I chose a grey floor to ground the space, and also for continuity with my living room floor which is also grey.

Appliances will be kept within the aluminium/black/white colour scheme as well, as far as I can help it that is.

Yup just to share how I conceptualised my kitchen. :) Hehe @ the word “conceptualised”… I’m not any fancy interior designer though. I’m happy with the progress so far, once it’s done I will post up photos!
