pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2009 hahaha ok ok mine is 21ft bottom only. so yours is 42ft in total. then 5k+ is fine. yup I have this wavy problem. It's not very obvious so I'm ok with it. but I do think matt ones look more classic. But I'm not sure about the scratching part since I don't have any on mine.

pinkiedreamy 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2009 Ivy, I read in your renoblog, that you did consider using postform for your kitchen top? My current house, I used postform for my kitchen. CHose postform tat time cos of budget, and wanted something more practical - scratch resistant and also, 1st time doing housechores, so wanted something that is cheap and won't be ruined by be easily. 5 years le, this table top still nice nice and good. However, this time, hubby and I did consider postform again. cos it serves us real good. but solid top is really nice though difficult to maintain. After much thought, hubby say will go for solid top, since WE dun cook often. but i know, really got to be very careful....cos scratches really not nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My last postform top lasted me 6 years and still as good as new, no scratches, no dent. Ultimately we decided to use granite top, cos granite is supposingly less prone to scratches. My kitchen quote includes : 1) my cabinet quote is 17ft top and bottom. TOp cabinets in glass. 2) granite top $1000 the above quote was the initial quote but I already added on more length and still awaiting ah soon to revise for me leh... mine is starting coming saturday and still no sound no picture from him...

I always say he has an easy job - just issue cheques. whereas, I have to think about the designs, the pros and cons, and the funtionality of every item constructed or buy.

I am also the one having to issue the cheque............... so it is practically a one woman show..... wah u more chaim than me. my hubby say if I were to control the $, then i can easily spend a BOMB on the hse. so it is better that what i want, have to go through him. From planning to renovating the house, this period, i can easily go siao. haha 5 years ago i went through it...now again. Sometimes really wonder, is it i backside itchy, cos I was the one who wanna upgrade to a 5 room flat. And knowing i have to do the sourcing and searching alone... but then again, the end product is always so satisfying. cos when friends came view our current place, my hubby will say, "Oh my wife chose it. My wife source and design it" well..at least he gave me the credit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 I don't know about overpriced.. but things like your homo tiles... they are $5/psf because they are very good quality ones or because they are 800X800? Hacking seems to be a little ex. Without size, like for kitchen entrance, balcony... I can't tell if they are ex. You're not doing anything to the kitchen and toilets?
