As requested by our fellow member I'm posting a brief overview.
We decide to do make over for our Kitchen. First we searched for a best carpenter and decide to give him a cupboard to make. We are really satisified with his work so decided to give him the rest.

Why Kitchen makeover to Carpenter than Kitchen specialist like Sleek or godrej etc
1. Low cost
2. Change the idea and design whenever we want etc

Firstly bought Kitchen accessories from Sleek.
Secondly Carpenter started working on making cabinet to make those accessories to fit in.

And finally its looks like this

Cockroach?

[MENTION=127004]amjath[/MENTION]: the chimney hole was there before or made while assembling the chimney?
also while buying the modular kitchen accessories how u got the info on which each type of component to buy? e.g: trolly,plate holder etc :-D

[strike]Will reply in few minutes with link[/strike]

The hole was made when construction was made. The hole which was made is standard and pretty bigger than duct diameter. So since this a standard, the installation guy brings the board which was cut in the size of duct diameter in order to cover extra diameter space of the hole. Thats why in above image it looks pretty and covered.

For reference check below link for cabinets and accessories available in the market
Kitchen Accessories | Modular Kitchen & Accessories at Sleek

Sleek is the first and premier brand in India. More companies are available now. All companies use same cabinet shapes and sizes, so it comes down to budget. For reference check the link and decide what accessories to be bought. Go to the hardware store and check for brands and price difference. As far as the size you need carpenter to decide the size for accesories [he will measure and tell you] Or get it build from sleek itself [which will cost more]

If you mean cockroaches, Thankfully we are in fuirst floor so this bugs tension is minimal. Even though we see bugs, we kill those when they are small. Because these bugs usually multiplies more when gets bigger. We also have cockroach sprays

although i haven't posted any guide, but you can discuss with me, if need be, about setting up speakers, managing/concealing wires, getting an AV rack made, about paint-schemes and painting/decorating/wall-preparation tips, etc. i had got all of these done within a span of some months last year. would be glad to provide any input wherever i can.

congrats [MENTION=127004]amjath[/MENTION]! the set-up indeed looks nice! do remember to clean the chimney (exterior), racks, etc., from time-to-time, for vapours, soot, etc. start settling on them. also, be wary of not inculcating the habit to recklessly shut the doors/racks! hinges break over time. telling from experience. :p

exactly bro, the hinges problem I will fix it so no worries and chimney grill cleaning is taken care every ~1 or 1.5 month. Full chimney cleaning service is done every ~6 months.

good to know that! in one of our cabinet-doors, a hinge had come off from the board itself, ripping off the laminate and exposing the MDF/particle board underneath it.
