The cupboards are up in the flat! The ones in the bedroom, the ones in the kitchen, and the ginormous (Big doesn't think itz huge, but I do) display cabinet in the living.I personally really like the ones in the kitchen - I think the dark wood-grain (the catalogue says itz walnut) laminate really sets off the tiles and walls. Big says it looks very "show-flat". B
ut then again Big is also the one who keeps on and on about how *he* chose the colours. Being "Creative Director" in his company kinda equates having to have some standard for the flat so as to maintain semblance of *his* sense of aesthetics... I say - yeah whatever.Anyway, the cupboards in the bedroom are set in an L - I'm still not sure how much stuff we 
have to fill them, but I think, between my big plush, and his stuff that presently fill 2 cupboards in his room, we should be able to find a space for most things. I really don't have that many clothes or bags...
Which is why I'm amused at the number of "walk-in wardrobe" comments we've gotten since the start of the reno. Including from Paul, who did an on-the-spot re-enactment of the beer ad - issit Carlsberg or Heineken - for me on Sat.
I mean, yeah I know, itz every girl's (and some guys' too) dream to own a walk-in wardrobe, complete with cushy seats, throw rugs and wall-to-wall mirrors, almost like a boudoir. Very pretty and all. But, for me, the accomodation of a walk-in closet in my house simply means that we have enough space to spare. Itz not a necessity. Itz a bloody luxury.
I don't care if itz the "in" thing nowadays (but then again, I have never aspired to be "in" all the time), or that 2 out of 3 friends with new homes have it (or some semblance of it). Not to mention, I probably wouldn't make much use of it, even if I had one. I do spend only about 15 min getting dressed (and that includes time taken to pick clothes, and look at self in mirror) and I don't have that many clothes to fill a room... But then again, I have never been the vain one in the family.
So, here's in reply to all those comments about a walk-in wardrobe - no we don't have one, no we don't intend to have one, and no I don't think we'll ever have one. I'd rather have wall-to-wall bookshelves. And Big would rather have a toy museum.
