shkeat 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 6. i want to have a island in the kitchen. but it will result in 60cm walkway on each side. isit too narrow? 7. i wanted a bar top counter at the kicthen entrance, so we can just have meals there. But hubby say a dining table is more appropriate. Hi was reading at your post and just wondering why you need a bar top counter when you are intending to do an island? You can actually make your island wider or just extend the top longer towards your dining / living and make it as your breakfast table. Don't really need a high bar counter for it... 60 cm walkway is around 2 feet which is quite alright but still it's up to you and your hubby... I'm also having a 2 feet entrance to my kitchen as i extend my L-shape kicthen with bar counter. we prefer to have a "longer" bar counter rather than a big entrance. I'm having a open concept kicthen.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkiedreamy 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 this is the sofa which I'm eyeing. the lady say can customise the length between 2.8m - 3m (depending on my living room) it is fabric. We chose this cos the whole fabric can be removed and wash in washing machine. And can buy extra covers of different color price after discount = $2080 covers @ $980 per set. according to her, fabric from belgium... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite big really. Take a look at your layout and see the place you intend to put it... see if it can fit ba. Also.. must take note that the L-shape portion still allows for people to pass after you put your console and coffee table down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
