So, we finally got a huge mirror for the wall above our sideboard. Pardon the mess, because we are simply not very neat people who make their lived-in homes look like showrooms. =P
This is the view from the kitchen/entrance.
And this is the view from the corridor.
We initially wanted to save some money, and got a 30x160cm mirror ($39 only) from Ikea and got our neighbor to help us mount it up. It wasn't ideal, much too small actually. I considered getting 2 mirrors to be placed above each other, but the husband opposed to it. After a few months, the mirror started to warp, perhaps being unable to take the mirror weight.
So, we decided to get a big mirror, after recovering somewhat from all the renovation-wedding-honeymoon expense. I asked Mr K for a quote despite hearing that his prices ain't that cheap anymore and contacted some mirror supplier. Surprisingly, his quote was lower than the mirror supplier and he ended up charging us the 1m x 1.6m price even after we decided to get the 1.3m x 1.6m size. Perhaps out of goodwill and appreciation for all the customers we have got him.
The mirror was really of good quality and good workmanship with solid wood backing. The workers came on time and I'm as usually impressed by them. The guys took great care in installation and cleaning up, and polished my mirror till it shined. They even helped us to sand our main door and commented/gave advise on the bad workmanship of our laminate (because we DIY-ed with our neighbors and just paid for the laminate!). Even the husband was impressed by the guys.
I am still very appreciative of Mr K and his dedication to his work of beautifying homes, the good attitude of his workers. After working with PRCs and Bangala, you really appreciate Malaysian workers with good work ethic and attitude. Not to generalize or discriminate here, but there's a marked difference. And sometimes, it's worth paying more for quality and to avoid trouble. You get what you pay for.
The home now look bigger and brighter with the mirror! Moreover, if you believe in fengshui, mirrors facing the dining table reflects abundance and the good energy when family and friends gather.
We are also slowly working on small projects on our home, perhaps doing something with the bay windows and installing digital locks.
Have been wanting to do a before and after as the home is more or less done up, yet have been procrastinating since the home does not look like a showroom anymore. Soon, soon.
