NICE! welcome and congrats! hahahaha i know how you feel, cos when i had my wedding 6 months back, my friends (not only girl frens, even guys too) couldn't understand why we can't bother with all those wedding stuff... hahaha just felt that wedding only gonna last for a day but you'll have to stay in your house for years, so gotta pay more attention to the house Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yumiko 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2011 congratulations... I have the same feeling too. We got our flat in November; we were putting in more effort in renovation and my wedding was January. At first we thought we might have wedding cold feet, but now I am released, it seems that it kinda normal for all... hahaa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't remember so vividly at all the feeling of my first apartment which is long gone...my wife is still around though and we have a lunch date 4 days a week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tangerinez 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2011 i haven't had a chance to take pictures in the 3 times when we visited the house. too paiseh to ask owner for permission. so well, let's make do with the ones from valuation report first: Living room and Dining Area Kitchen Bedroom 2 - most probably using this room for guest/baby room Master Bedroom No pictures for bedroom 3 - which will most probably be our entertainment room As you can see, the bedroom flooring is parquet. So we are thinking of keeping them if the contractor thinks it's in good condition. any comments or suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
May_dream1 14 Report post Posted February 18, 2011 The parquet does look very shiny and good. maybe you should keep it as what your contractor says. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tangerinez 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 actually i don't really like parquet flooring but of cos what do i know? cos everyone has been telling me this prevents coldness when stepping down from the bed every morning. and if it saves money, why not? hoping to go furniture shopping today! i know it's too early to be doing this but we are excited that's why...

I also prefer cold tiles as I don't on aircon so stepping on it is not so cold. But if always on aircon, parquet is more comfortable to step on. If keep then cheaper reno loh. Ya, it's never too early then can compare and take time to decide. Took me a long time to look for chairs that I like, even though I start looking since November. Hehe....

tangerinez 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2011 hmm... i thought i'm the only 'strange' one who doesn't like parquet flooring. i find the existing parquet flooring a little... dated in design. and we probably won't be turning on the air-con often. so we may be able to do with tiles. but then, it's such a pity to hack away the parquet right? oh my, decisions decisions. i think we'll let the ID/contractor decide for us then.

Hi guys, shoot me...cos I luv parquet...Tangerinez, your parquet flooring is so beautiful... Anyway, I'm antique and old fashioned... I luv marble, parquet...stuff which is of natural colouring/lines/designs that we can't control..To me, that's the beauty. Mashmallow's broken marble flooring also very nice...
