fazlidude: and we''l check out the laminate colour.........
Nylasaeed: 1) tiles of maroon black and those shades..
Nylasaeed: cabinet in black /dark grey...
fazlidude: ok
Nylasaeed: and the wal color has to be decided
Nylasaeed: what do u think of this fazli...
SAM: all cabinets laminated.. no frosted glass
Nylasaeed: any changes/suggestions...
fazlidude: no problem,its a small section rite...
SAM: the wall between the windows will also have to be covered with those tiles
fazlidude: and wall colours we can decide later.......
SAM: ELEVATION B... the SINK WALL
fazlidude: after we do the framework for the cabinets
Nylasaeed: so far so good.
SAM: the cabinets will all be of same height
fazlidude: ok
SAM: from the ceiling.. they'll start at the same height as the window wall cabinets
fazlidude: ok
Nylasaeed: hight of the cabinet would run upto almost 9 ft... assuming hight of the kitchen being 10'
SAM: 9' is toooo much i think
fazlidude: 8'6" is fine
SAM: okay...
Nylasaeed: that way we'll make up for the storage space that we'll lose with hood inception
fazlidude: what abt the cabinet above the fridge
SAM: but rember... i can probably stand inside that with bilal on my shoulders
Nylasaeed:
SAM: isnt that tooo much?
Nylasaeed: 8'6" good
SAM: will it be split???
fazlidude: what?
SAM: that height
SAM: tell me this... you people are talking about the lenght of the cabinets right??
fazlidude: im
SAM: vertical lenght
SAM: not the height from the floor till the top of the cabinet
fazlidude: talkin abt the height from the finished floor level
SAM: see there... i was in another zone
fazlidude: that will be abt 1'6" above the window top
SAM: okay.. now the corner cabinet next to the window.. will it be blocking the window or we leave some space there
fazlidude: we'll leave some space there
fazlidude: abt 1'6"
SAM: okay
SAM: what about the water purifier???
fazlidude: but the piece above the window we can continue
SAM: yes sure
fazlidude: with some light points
SAM: correct
SAM: bro... the spot lights... from ikea.. i'll give you the part number
Nylasaeed: cool
fazlidude: ok
fazlidude: and tell me abt the fridge wala wall
fazlidude: can we have the cabinet there?
SAM: i liked that idea of having the cabinets on tp over there...
fazlidude: ok
SAM: but not closed cabinets.. open cabinets
Nylasaeed: open cabinets r a ploblem sama
fazlidude: we can try to get it lower
fazlidude: to 6'6"from floor
Nylasaeed: looks messed up
fazlidude: the cabinet out there?
Nylasaeed: no, the open cabinets...
Nylasaeed: we need to have doors on them,
SAM: hmmm
fazlidude: even i feel so
fazlidude: maybe we can open one or two
Nylasaeed: yeah
fazlidude: maybe the one over the fridge
Nylasaeed: dad said... balcony mein cabinet banana.... i asked why???? he said "to store things!"
SAM: TRETTIO Multi-use lighting Dhs 59/3 pack page 62 IKEA 2007
fazlidude: and tell me whats the ht of ur fridge
SAM: heheh.. typical of him... listen the balconies are a big problem during rain
fazlidude: also the lxb
SAM: mom was saying the other day.... the water was flowing into the room
SAM: we need to do some kind of shading there
Nylasaeed: sama its a lil late for fazli.. we could have discussion on blog... lets wrap it up...
SAM: the fridge height is 5'10 and half inch
Nylasaeed: summarize
fazlidude: length and breath?
Nylasaeed: why cant the cabinet run over the kitchen door as well?
SAM: 2'9 inch width
SAM: 2'4" depth
fazlidude: the fridge sits at an offset
SAM: now about that wall modification..... do we need permission from the building people???
Nylasaeed: nausheen said u need to take permission...
fazlidude: depends on the association.its not a structural wall
SAM: right... fazli any idea if its a hassle?
SAM: right
fazlidude: i dont think so...we'll just have to take care of the debri
SAM: these mohtisham guys are supposed to be chutes when it comes to such things
fazlidude: what abt the flooring for kitchen
SAM: flooring remains the same right
Nylasaeed: any suggestions fazli?
SAM: so the cabinets on top of the fridge will extend wall to wall
fazlidude: its not all that good ..i mean the desired effect is lost
fazlidude: and aslo if we are breaking the walls few tiles get chipped
fazlidude: also at the place where the wall stood
fazlidude: the cabinets will touch the ofset wall
fazlidude: offset
SAM: cool
SAM: okay
SAM: and will terminate at that
Nylasaeed: i think lets keep that as it is...
fazlidude: if it has to run above the door it will project out
SAM: i think its better if it terminates where the offset ends before the door
fazlidude: ok
SAM: bhaiyya... what about the floor then??
Nylasaeed: i'll tell u maroon looks gorgeous!
SAM: on the floor?
Nylasaeed: with the tile color we r going for its gonna be the look!
SAM: glossy??
SAM: i think blood red
Nylasaeed: but i dont know if we shud do anything changes ot the floor...
Nylasaeed: what does fazli have to say?
SAM: if the offset is created obviously there is going to be damage to that part of the floor... patch work will look messy
Nylasaeed: yeah, glossy with those non slippery finish
fazlidude: antiskid ...matt finish
SAM: okay.. so kitchen is a wrap?
Nylasaeed: summarize...
fazlidude: yeah
SAM: fazli anything more that needs to be discussed or finalised about the kitchen??
SAM: summary:
fazlidude: utility area we'll leave as it is
fazlidude: ?
Nylasaeed: yeah.. as it is in the new updates u have given
fazlidude: washing machine ...i think there 's a provision i n the utilty

SAM: do we need to have the water purifier there????
fazlidude: one option is to have it in the utolity
fazlidude: utility
SAM: hmmm...
fazlidude: a little bit of plumbing work
SAM: no pal.. not it the utility... lets avoid any kind of water being spilled there
SAM: how about keeping it next to the sink in the corner
fazlidude: u need a platform to fill the water
SAM: hmmm
SAM: okay.... then lets keep it as is...
SAM: the only issue was breaking the uniformity of the cabinets
fazlidude: theres already a plumbing and electric point
