skywolf 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2008 wow sai marble sia..must have cost you a bomb? Bo. Included in the COV i paid. Broken markle, a fad in the 90s. But still yah, marble. im curious how does dog biz affect marble flooring btw? I read somemore tt marble can absorb stains fast (porous, is that the word?). Even dark soya sauce will leave a dark stain. Thus, if no one is @ hm, by the time back hm in the evening, my flooring will have more artwork to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunBun 5 Report post Posted May 10, 2008 Oh, didn't know that. Sounds high maintenence also. But then laminate floorings are high maintenence too so not really much diff except for the cost Bo.

skywolf 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2008 Think laminate easier to chg wor. Marble if stained how to change? Rehack + retile wor. Scary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunBun 5 Report post Posted May 10, 2008 Ya but then laminates are also not so cheap though cheaper than laying tiles. Scared that they'd warp next time round if not careful, so that makes us both really looking at high maintenece flooring. =x Think laminate easier to chg wor. Marble if stained how to change?

To hack marble seems like a waste wor. So spent abt $1600 (in ID's quotation) to polish it. Coz white floor tiles for living seems boring (to me)... so keep the current 'colorful' and 'mismatched' pink/white/beige flooring. Wah. Super acidic lehz.

babytan 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) 1st draft of 3D pictures living room. not doing the feature wall & console as it will make our flat looked even smaller..near main door too, kind of obstruct the living walkway...intend to get ready made console kitchen view from living room. love the glass kitchen view from back windows. noticed that if glass door is slided close, it will reflect the back row of windows. not sure if this is the type of glass ID is providing or simply the designer eyes tiak stamp!! forget to ask ID about this too..just saw..blur me.. the basin is pai sui only, will be replaced by dryer.. MBR, no feature wall too..just a very simple design. the sliding door on the side is entrance to WIW WIW, looked small but no choice cos only hacking down the store nia..need to ask ID to redesign the compartments.. thats all folks..no 3D for toilets as haven got the idea of how to transform, simply too small to do anything liao..most likely the common toilet will be for "common" use and master for bathing..no need to spend $ on shower screen liao any comments for the 3D?? all are welcome Edited May 15, 2008 by babytan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
