pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 yep! totally agree..but i wonder will homogeneous tiles spoil the look. i hate having the woody look in my home. maybe cuz my current home has toooooooooooooooo many wood le..developed a phobia for it already! muahahahah.. and they use a lot of wallpaper! mmm...must really find a way to convince my htb. u saw how against he is about wallpaper. mm... mm though laminate seems like a better choice for this theme but you can try matt homogeneous tiles to complete the look instead. haha you should check out the goodrich website.. will love the wallpaper there.. haha like I did Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rierie 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 time to "blog" about this ID that my htb and i met over the weekend. the worst one that i've met. She's none other but this high post lady from Darwin. to begin with, i was already very pissed off with her when she insisted us in going to her showflat in bendemeer. i called her and told her nicely (alright, at least in my perspective) that we don't want to go to Bendemeer and suggested that we meet in Town. over the conversation (for as long as i can remember), she kept insisting on us going over, while i explained to her that we've no interest in visiting the showflat because showflats will always be the most perfect, otherwise perfect. i resisted raising my voice and insisted that we meet in Town. So, we met her. we kicked off the conversation by telling her what we wanted. Modern Victorian look (something like those designed by Splendor). Minimum capentry work. Homogeneous tiles for the ENTIRE house. Minimal use of wood material. and many more. after we finished, she rebutted every single one of them. one of the many examples would be the homogeneous tiles - everyone uses prarquet or laminates. why not we try using? (hello? i thot i just mentioned the minimal use of wood and we want homo tiles all the way?). needless to say, that left me very pissed off. to top it off, she dropped my camera on the table when i asked her to look through the photos of styles that we like and don't like. any more need to said about this lady? on the contrary, i've to agree that Darwin has more than one ID. perhaps, we try to ask to talk to another ID before Darwin gets off our list.

Being an ID doesnt mean she gets to decide what the house owner shd get mah. If u have very strong ideas of wat u want, can just scout thru pictures n go without an ID already, can cut cost n use the money to buy nice nice victorian furnitures!
