jtec14 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 yah... costs $400 more than for the laminate.... hmm... think i will just go ahead with laminate... anyway already signed the contract and might not be able to reduce the costs.... Initially i also want homo tiles for rooms to save costs, luckily my wife insisted on having laminate/parquet. Choosed parquet in the end, no regrets. Only maintenance-wise lor.

jtec14 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2009 Internal partition for MBR wardrobe..... not sure whether the railings enough for our clothes..... overall wardrobe lenght is 10 feet.... changed the TV console to a slide out one to save space Internal partition for common bedroom wardrobe Personally think that too much drawers and shelving already and railing most probably not enough.... some suggestions MBR: can consider remove the 3 drawers in the centre part and have more drawers below the TV console? Why need so many shelvings near console? you intend to put games console other than TV/DVD player? Common: reduce the length of the 3 long drawers to same length as the shelves on top. Then you can another railing in middle. I think you should have enough drawers 5 x short drawers to put your stuffs. But note any storage extra is good as you never know when you need it...
