pinkiedreamy 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 Nice layout.!! White really nice. We wanted a white initally, but seems like now my house concept is white n black. cos will be looking at black homogeneous tiles. but furnitures will still be white, creamy. Glass is nice. I love glass too. my study room will be a open conceopt, with glass doors and one wall glass. and my kitchen and balcony will too have glass. Living room tiles looks good. white homogeneous tiles?

mumulovenest 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 actually fromt he pic the living room tiles looks good. seems like the last owner maintained the place pretty well. Can't keep the tiles? Hi Ivy & Xherion, Yup, the previous owner did maintained the whole house flooring quite well.. even for e toilets too.. Both our parents commented that also.. And we have been debating for a long time whether should we keep e tiles or hack it.. Cause its really a waste to hack it off.. But the color of e flooring is not entirely white (more of beige) and e size is smaller (we like those 600x600 big big tiles) which is not to our liking.. so we decided to change it lo.. n our parents had been nagging at us since then..

familyof4 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 the flooring condition is good from the pics and if u really do not like, change it cos u will be living with it for years... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Pinkiedreamy, e living room tiles are more of beige color actually.. and yes, its homogeneous tiles.. will be replacing e living room tiles with white 600x600 homogeneous tiles.. Im sure your white n black combi will look nice too! i saw a black 'galaxy' tiles that is very nice and for a moment, i thought of using black tiles too! haha.. I will be doing open concept for my kitchen and master bedroom too! Seems like our design concept is pretty similar! hehe.. Furniture wise will be white, white and white.. haaha..
