worldangel 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2009 Living Room Inspiration I saw this gorgeous Teal color in many of the houses featured in Apartment Therapy. Fell in love with this sometime blue sometime green confused color! Prob will use it as the feature wall in my living room. Some inspirations from www.apartmenttherapy.com: Oh my, that's a lovely color! Think it will look great with white walls and white furniture... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannywmp 3 Report post Posted October 19, 2009 Inspired by Simon's beautiful kitchen, I like to have some pop of colors against my white wall and floor tiles as well as white cabinets in my kitchen. Henry says don't have orange glass backing so may have to settle for red. Thinking of Orange cos it goes well with Teal in the living room and I am thinking of using soft grey wall in Dining and orange for accent. May bring the orange accents to the Living room as well. Oh well.. still all thoughts in the air right now: Swee bo? Swee swee man...come on...photo photo...want to see your progress and tiling work leh.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are your floor going to be wooden as well for the kitchen area? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are your floor going to be wooden as well for the kitchen area? This one not Simon's kitchen. Sorry for the confusion. This picture from apartment therapy as well. I agree with you on the out of balance thingy but could be useful if owner wants alot of storage. My floor is white. And wall tiles as well. Cabinet I prob will be choosing white as well. And I am thinking of getting white solid surface top. But Henry says difficult to maintain. He suggests using red solid surface top but like weird weird to prepare food on red surface leh.. what you think? So thinking maybe can explore wooden color to give some warmth to the kitchen. My kitchen is really small - just a tiny L shape in a squarish room prob 2.5m each side only.. so using alot of white to make the space looks bigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Except for my floor...I chose grey cos scared I can't maintain the whiteness of white floor tiles after a while...Kitchen also L-shaped and quite small... This is my kitchen without the solid top...my solid top also white leh...think it should be ok to use white as long as it is smooth surface type...and yea, red top will look scary to me leh...esp in the kitchen.

nirvana 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2009 Ok.. finally uploaded my photos on photobucket.. my well used and beloved fujitsu is struggling to keep up with my minimal emails and surf net activities after 7 years (can you imagine I am still using a Pentium II machine???)... time to get a new com soon! I mini sized all the hacking/tiling photos cos most of the photos are taken at night so can't really capture the details anyway. Was really fun taking photos in the dark. Kind of scary fun. Will take more detailed photos when I have the chance. Will start with my kitchen: After hacking Sand comes: Tiles up (doing overlay for wall tiles): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
