Just to quote you our example. for my current reno, we chose apple white and when it's painted, it looks greenish. hence, have to re-paint the few walls. avoid apple white if your theme is not environment green.

Dextro82 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2010 Been quite busy..with both work and the house...some updates. Tiles selection...(was done quite some time ago) To keep things simple, we chose the same floor tiles for all 3 toilets and kitchen, and chose a slightly different wall tile for the kitchen. thereafter, the only other place that requires tiles are the balcony and recess which uses the same tiles. not too fanciful. =D Toilet wall tiles Kitchen wall tiles Kitchen and Toilet floor tiles Toilet tiles comparison Balcony tiles comparison Wall tiles on the top and floor tiles on the bottom, floors tiles are the same for the access area.

Dextro82 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2010 Just got back from the new house, whats completed is the tiling for kitchen and access area. Balcony tiling is almost done too. Kitchen Tiling all done up Tiling at balcony...love the change. Think its the new tiles and the white wall that makes the balcony look so much nicer. Major problem...from the wonderful HDB builders from old times... Notice that the wiring casing is not straight...thats due to the ceiling not being level in the first place. This problem can be found throughout the whole house. Beams in the house are never straight...causing problems when u install glass panels, when your tiles have excessive gaps due to the wall not being straight and when u try to run electrical wiring around the house....just UGLY man.
