porcupine12trade 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2010 ya dont need ID but if he/she a friend n dont charge u for the ID svc then no harm mah, can use the ID brains heh. As for feature walls, if u hv in mind what you want, otherwise an ID can give you some nice ideas. For myself, i'll make cabinets/wall paper as feature wall. my objective is functional over beauty (but cant be too orbit la) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For myself, i'll make cabinets/wall paper as feature wall. my objective is functional over beauty (but cant be too orbit la) the feature walls will be as simple as possible, not really a fan of wall paper in this humidity, so will probably go for laminates. still like the idea of the storage in the dining area but do realize it will make the space look soooooooooooooooooooo small! ****, can't have everything i guess. Will just go and look for a nice sideboard/hutch for that area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SHIOK. ay but i read alot of mags, alot of IDs put plenty of cabinets along the wall, doesnt look tt bad and they mentioned it will make the hse look clutter free, hence "bigger"..how about make a 1 ft deep one rather then the 2ft one?

ngunadi 2 Report post Posted March 11, 2010 I agree with ossify. No need ID. IDs might not even entertain you since the amount of work is minimal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
