Kitchen is Ready!

I cut and put the white sheet from Ikea to protect the Kitchen from scratches and dirt. I find it good specially for the pots and pans. I always dream to have a Spic and Span Kitchen. I cannot wait to use my very own Kitchen... very soon.

Assembling IKEA Wardrobe

Hubby and I started to assemble our Ikea wardrobe. After assembling the first part, we thought... OMG it is too high :) But after finishing all three, we thought, it looks fine. We need a lot of storage for Winter things anyway.

I am excited to see the finish product.

Double Door is Installed

Our double door is at last installed. We received our double door last year. Unfortunately, there was a mistake on the measurement. We received a smaller one. It then took another 4-6 weeks of waiting until we received the right one.

Atlast today it was installed. Our house looks so beautiful ;)

Our Counter is Here!

After 6 weeks and 4 days the other part of our kitchen is being delivered. I thought it is now time for me to really be happy. Then UNFORTUNATELY, one niche is AGAIN wrongly ordered. I cannot believe it. I have patience for the first mistake. But TWICE? Are you kidding me? It was frustrating. That means, we need to AGAIN and AGAIN wait for another 4 weeks. I will never order a Kitchen from Sommerlad EVER. To think, they installed a wrong dishwasher. It was not the one we saw or atleast the Sales Person did show us. He said we will receive that kind of dishwasher. But it was not the same. I do not want to destroy the nicely build Kitchen now. But it is for me a really poor Customer Service.

The next delivery schedule for the missing niche will be on the second week of March. Can you imagine that? We bought the Kitchen last October 2015. We had the delivery schedule last middle of December 2015. And it MAYBE finished middle of March 2016. That means... we bought a kitchen which was finally finished in 5 months. That is the WORST Kitchen Customer Service I have ever heard and experienced.

STILL NOT IN!

Goodbye 2015. You were hopeful but not goal reaching. Welcome 2016... be realistic.

WE ARE STILL NOT IN. It has been 2 years and 3 months now. Most of the building works inside the house were done by my husband, and I (as a helper). It was not easy. We saved money but we spend a lot of our precious time. TIME that you cannot take back. It is very frustrating. It is getting more frustrating because the house is already finish and yet... we are still not IN. If I am being asked, "should someone build the house on his/her own or let a company finish it for them" --- my answer will be --- LET THE COMPANY FINISH IT FOR THEM! They will be finish in maximum of 6 months. You may not be saving a lot of money in that way, but you are saving a lot of your precious time. As we all know, TIME when spent, cannot be taken back. 

There are a lot of things that people consider before building a house. Number one is money. Number two is time. Decide wisely and follow your heart.

It takes hands to build a house, but only heart can build a home.

Bathroom Tiles is Atlast Finished.

Another milestone. Our bathroom tiles is at last finished. It took a lot of time for this one to be accomplished though we have someone to do it for us. The time just did not meet.

Kitchen is Here.

November... I so happy to receive the confirmation that our kitchen will be delivered in the middle of December. I cannot wait for that day. I thought... "Maybe we will move-in before the year ends". Let us see.

During the kitchen delivery and installation, I was not there. I was at work. But hubby was there and was able to check that everything will be fine.

The kitchen delivery and installation took a day and a half. It was nice to see that the kitchen is there. I was so happy. Too bad that the happiness is too short. On the second day, they said that there is a mistake on the ordered parts of the kitchen. They were not able to order our counter. And it will took 4-6 weeks before they will be able to deliver and install it.
