Simpleboi 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) actually a home is where we relax, so whether there's a theme really depends on what you wanti built my 'theme' around things i buy off the shelf, not the renovation stuffso as long as you feel comfortable with it, just go ahead :good:Hi applefreak Yup I agree, in fact I never thought of a theme when renovating the house.. just have a comfortable looking home will do ya loh.. totally agree! as long as u love it.. it is your very own personal theme.. which is unique to u as well.. theme is jus a term easier for u to get ur ideas across to any designer or contractor.. not really something v impt de la..Hi xlan,I normally just tell the designer/contractor wat to do etc.. and guess he prob have no idea bout the whole thing.. simple is nice..simple= spacious as well.

jaCKY777 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Still cant believe so fast only a few days.. and prob not lighted more than an hour.. I told the air-con pple to fix.. my air-con salesman said ok.. but they seem to be taking their time.. close to two weeks already.. still nothing done.. i called him.. he said his manager need to get the mosaic pple.. and also he need to match the tiles with the one in the bathroom.. and the tiles very difficult to get one.. coz hdb type of tiles.. Haiz.. Also dunno wat to do..... Hey Simpleboi,Less is More, More is LessThis phrase olways use by world reknown architects & designers. Now i gota use it 2 describe ur hm. ur tv console buy frm wher? Price? Got light green colour?Regarding e tiles in yr hse, u can ask ur ID go to e site office wher e hdb officer-in-charge of ur area is stationed. Check with e OIC.He suppose to have e tile supplier contacts. Buy frm dis supplier, his tiles sure 2 match ur existing tile. Cos they r e 1 who supplied all e tiles for all e blks in ur area.For those ppl who r doing a low-wall in e kitchen, hiding e wasing machine, it applies 2. Unless u hack/overlay with different tile pattern or design.Actually, its a kinda simple job. Ur ID can simply ask his tiler dn 2 fix e thingy.

applefreak 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2008 Hi applefreak Yup I agree, in fact I never thought of a theme when renovating the house.. just have a comfortable looking home will do actually when i was renovating my place, i also don't have a thememy so-called 'theme' was built around furniture pieces we acquiredso if you look at my built-in stuff, the flat can be changed into modern / zen / minimalist / whatever once we change the furniture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
