gantan88 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 Hello all, long time never update liao. Finally, tomorrow i will be selecting my tiles. First hack will be on the coming Monday. But i have not seen the 3D drawings yet. Like to check with you guys, usually tiles selection comes before or after the 3D drawings? Cos personally i find it illogical to select tiles when i have not seen my design yet. Dunno what colours and shading (darker/lighter) to choose. Advice pls, thanks!

gantan88 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) Hacking works started this morning, chose today because it is auspicious. I also selected my tiles at Hafary yesterday and today. I have actually finished my selection yesterday. Took some samples home. But after i got home i am shocked to find out that the colour of few tiles are not what i desired. I have then came to realise that while i am at the showroom, the ceiling down-light which is yellow/orange in colour affects colour rendering and I perceived the colour wrongly. So i go down again today to re-select. Anyway, here are my tiles, resolution is not good enuff to capture the design of the tiles because i took the pic using PDA camera... Finally, work started!

Yeah, the lighting condition in Hafary is not too good for tiles selection. I used something to block the ceiling light to look at the actual tile colour... I do not have any other lobang for FSM, less the one u gave me, being occupied with many other stuffs until yesterday when my block leave starts! Later will be going to IFC to see see walk walk. Is your work on schedule? Going to move in soon right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gantan88 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2009 exciting right? after the tiles are laid out, the whole place will look different. Yeah, i hope it turns out well. I have chosen relatively lighter shades/colour for flooring and is expecting the kitchen cabinet with darker colour for contrast. Will see what the designer has in store for me I have this dream of having a kitchen with a colour theme of orange or lime green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So how is your 3D drawings?? Is it out yet? Yup, i was busy with other things, so every few nights i log on to have a quick look in the forum but didnt really reply, not so active. Now work has started i suppose there is more updates and pics. I am only hacking the kitchen and 2 toilets, so i guess war zone only for the kitchen and toilet bah... Doing overlay in living and bedrooms. Haven go and see yet, later will go and see :-) I have not even seen my perspective drawing yet because of some issues, my confirmation with the ID is delayed earlier on, so now a bit rush... but the drawings are on the way liao... pray hard man.... wanna move in before CNY....

IFC hor... i went there on a weekday, so like ghost town.... but i met a nice sales lady at the topmost floor at King's FUrnishing showroom where she showed me a variety of furnitures. The usual sales talk lo: "if buy more i can work out a better discount for you"... Other than this nothing much really. The furnitures there are way too big for me coz mine is only a 3NG. But if your flat living room is big, can take in bigger designer sofa style, then there is quite a selecton there. But i found a sofa there which can fit into my small living room and sits quite comfortable also. Sales service wise, so far all the showrooms i experienced the same. Except for one where the sales lady is from China..... very forth coming... haha... Edited December 2, 2009 by gantan88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ossify 1 Report post Posted December 2, 2009 did Hafary give you a discount price? or did your ID/contractor bring you there? the tiles you chose look rather small. you prefer small tiles? i prefer bigger tiles to minimize grouting. less grout, less problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
