Orangephoria

Painted our cement floor last week with Orange (yes you heard me right the first time..) epoxy paint and definitely threw a new dimension to the whole space. Wooahh wooahh.. it is seriously orange man... but so cool! Now the floor is shiny, smooth and ah.. orange! The dining table and bench (cum shoe cabinet) is also in (above pix, bottom left corner). Also in a funky black with orange underside. Thinking of whether to put castors under the bench so that it is easier to move it around, esp with the shoes inside, but that is going to wreck the sitting height. Hmm still considering.

Anyway, even the concrete counter top of the sink is also in orange now. Looks quite nice with the black/orange sink. Also up is our open concept worerobe from Alumix. Was highlighted by friends that clothes may get dusty, so we will monitor the situation and see how bad it is. For now, we like things pretty 'open'.

Well, what do you expect from people who will put glass sliding door to their own toilet? Incidentally, the reason the toilet bowl can't be seen in the above picture is because we have moved our fridge and alumix's cabinets into the toilet due to the painting of the floor.

The custom-made stainless steel bed frame and mattress were also in but the guys who did the bed frame needed to haul the whole thing back because the edges of the plate (for the mattress) needs to be more rounded and one of the castors under the bed needs to be changed because the brake was stuck. Should be back by next week.

Last weekend, we have also put up wilk's 2 lightbox transformers on the wall opposite the front door (we call them our 左右门神) and 1 in the study. They are bigger than we anticipated and quite intimidating. Ought to scare away bunglars i hope. Hahaha hopefully by next weekend, we should be able to start moving back all the appliances, get the bed back and fix up our shelves/study table/chairs from Ikea to complete the rest of the flat. Might need to fix some stuff on my own though because wilk will be travelling to Germany for a conference and taking the chance to catch the once in 5 years documenta held there. So he will be flying off this friday and staying for about 10 days. Hmm maybe i will just wait for him to come back. :P
