hi, we recently had a kitchen made and our budget was less than yours and this is what it came out after arguing w/ my Architect and have my own design and specs (because of budget constraint and space limitation, i can't go w/ Archi's suggestion of using Pateco ready made doors):

I went to Soler myself and bought the racks and door handles for the cabinets. Manong Carpenter of Bacoor Cavite, also did the closets in the bedrooms (we just guided him on what we wanted to happen). It's small 'cos the real action is always in the dirty kitchen.

What are the cabinets doors made of? What are your countertops? What is that to the left of the kitchen area--a service door leading to the dirty area outside (i guess, since there's a window curtain on the foreground.) Your kitchen is very small, but it looks efficiently laid out. And at the price you mentioned, very nice indeed.

Your kitchen is very small, but it looks efficiently laid out. And at the price you mentioned, very nice indeed.

I symphatize w/ homeowners (wifeys) who are helplessly longing to have a modular kitchen but can't afford it. I also went through canvassing from 5 makers of modular kitchen as small as mine, including a proposal from my own Architect at 60k <<-- lowest in my canvass. I spent between 30 to 40k, w/ my own design (idea from several proposals I saw) but tailor-fitted to my needs (height and width hehe). My Archi says my small kitchen is not standard and that's ok with me, afterall, I'm the one who will use it, who cares about std height of the cabinets. Cabinet doors are made of plywood 3/4. Pati pala, hinges mura din sa Soler.

Counter-top is granite (China lang po) which I had custom-made sa Talaba, Bacoor (Bonnart yata 'yung name nung shop). Di po kasama sa cost 'yung 2-burner range sa counter top. Sa granite pa lang, laki na ng natipid ko compared sa cost mentioned nung 5 suppliers & Archi. Another beauty there is I get to pay my hardware in credit terms. I didn't shell-out big cash upfront. Yes I bought the materials (w/ my husband of course) - my choice (kitchen ko yata 'yun) and then asked the carpenter who was originally hired by the Contractor for the carpentry works of my house re-modelling (eh marunong pala sa cabinet).

In fairness, mabait at mahusay po ang Archi ko, no space left unused sa entire haus (pero medyo mahal lang proposals hehe, baka kase pexer din pala).

Soler po is in Binondo, naikot ko po 'yun, nakita ko pa 'yung Aranque Market, cos I also bought lights at Soler.

Yep, on the left is the service door leading to my pink dirty kitchen

moral of the story: Ask the Wifey not the Archi! hehe

closet pix (simple lang talaga):

eto pa pala closets (wala ako hilig sa cabinets hehehe) si Manong Carpenter from Bacoor din po gumawa

there are many reasons that people have stopped making plywood cabinets now. one major reason is that they're anay food. while MDFs and Particle Boards arent.

another reason is the FINISH. paint finishes for the cabinets is teh old now.

and another good reason is... renovation reasons. masmadaling tanggalin ang modular cabinets come renovation time.

but plywoods have its charms din..

gusto ko yung kitchen ni beerhandbop, gusto ko yung paikot lang ang kilos, pero mas maluwag ng konti sana. yung kay 22mai, ideal pag maraming magluluto, alam niyo pag fiesta, kasalan, debut, dami kamag-anak na tumutulong magluto. hehehe..

Kasi naman dito sa pinas, pag may handaan parang kelangan lagi buong barangay pakakainin mo, kaya yung pagluluto maramihan talaga, kaya kelangan talaga may dirty kitchen.

Yung kitchen ng tita ko, parang kay 22mai, pahaba. 2 yung sinks nila, yung isa, yung double, yun ang laging ginagamit. Yung isa, malaki, ideal na hugasan ng malalaking kaldero, pero sadly, hindi nagagamit, haba pa naman ng pantry, yung mismong sink, naging tambakan ng kung ano-ano. Yung pantry, may microwave na nakalagay pero yung iba, parang puro kalat na. Nanghihinayang ako, kasi parang display na lang.

Sample Work...During Assembly..
Im still looking for the picture when it was totally completed. To be posted soon.

Modular Type Kitchen
Material: MDF board 18mm Thick Moisture Resistance
Countertop: Synthetic Granite
Hardware: Blum Hinges with Blumotion, Blum Tandem Boxes
Handle: Solid Stainless Steel

I know the layout is not perfect, due to space limitation, so we designed it modular type.






Soon this kitchen will be transfer to a new and much bigger space. Tatanggalin lang yun mga fixing screw then lipat sa bagong layout.
Minor modification only. That's the advantage of having a modular kitchen.

sir bryant ,

isa lang masasbi ko sa kitchen nyo, WOW GANDA ,hehehe magkano kaya yan sir?ano po dimension ng mga cabinet at worktop?sino po contractor?

baka pwede pa PM sir kung di nyo type sabihin sa thread!GANDA talaga e hehehe

[BeerhandBop]

^ i'd say 150,000 easy.



i see 10 drawers right there. multiply by 6,000. that's already 60,000 for the drawers alone without the blumotion hinges.

synthetic granite, i'm not for it. sa states pa nga MAS MURA ang synthetic granite (aka Quartz Stone) over natural granite.

how can something created by man stand up against something that's been here even before teh age of teh dinozes??

Hindi naman malaki mark-up ko dyan.

Nagpaquote rin kse yun owner sa mga well known kitchen maker, Meta****ne sa Megamall and Kitchen *ne. And ask me kung kaya ko pantayan yun presyo nila but using blum hardwares. And I say yes.

[BeerhandBop]

[BeerhandBop]

^ PS... Nagtaas na ba sila Engineer Bravo?

[asiastreak]

Share na rin ako ng kitchen namin that was completed last dec.


how I wish I had the budget to use Blum...
nabilib ako dun nung unang dinemo sa akin.
budget kasi ng mom in law ko is 150k lang.

unahan ko na kayo mag critic

When I started, I planned on having a simple contemporary italian kitchen.
sabi ng mom-in-law ko, kayong bahala sa design. wow, that's good.

nung natapos na... hala, nilabas na lahat ng ceramics, candles etc... at nilagay sa taas... I was shocked when I woke up. nagka identity crisis na yung kitchen at mas agaw attention pa yung mga kung anu ano sa taas... well, at least I am the only one here to have an italian-tuscan kitchen

I wanted a horizontally-oriented cabinets but settled with this due to budget constraints...

[beauty&madness]

Hello everyone,lalo na sa mga tiga- Bacolod dyan....maayong adlaw lang da sa tanan...

Baka naman may ma-recommend kayo dyan na taga-gawa ng kitchen cabinet from Bacolod ...budget ko nasa 50k lang...

Salamat po...

sir, a few querries lang po:

1. how do you laminate the plyboards? can the ordinary carpenter do it? where can i buy laminate sheets? how can i make sure that anays won't attack my kitchen cabinets made of plywood?

2. a friend informed me of granite countertops on sale at a nearby home expo. can i buy it now and have it holed and worked on later at home? baka december pa ko magpagawa ng kitchen eh.

tnx!
