MABUHAY!
Today, we are celebrating Christmas day in the Philippines. I remember last year doing a very nice project. When we move into this house in 2013, I had a small empty space of 2.5meters X 6meters on the right side. Since the exit door is located there, I convinced my wife that this space will be a nice dirty kitchen to do her cooking and laundry as well. And so when I had saved enough money, I started the construction of the flooring and the concrete countertop and lavatory.

For 2 years, I was not able to work on this project. And when I saved enough money, I bought and install 600mm X 600mm Homogenous tiles for the countertop and splashboard.

I didn't revise the existing wood division anymore for the base cabinet wherein I put 6-panel doors and 6 drawers using 19mm thick X 4ft X 8 ft plyboard. For the hanging cabinets, I put 6-panel doors with 1 open shelf at the side and small open shelf at the bottom. I also used the same specification of plyboard. For the hardware, I used the concealed hinges and 20mm diameter stainless steel circular handle- satin finish.

THE PAINTING WORKS
For the paint, I used the flat wall enamel for the base coat, Quick Dry Enamel for the top coat. For the colors, I played the alternating effect of 3 primary colors, the royal blue, the lemon yellow, and the international red.
