I like your new living room but old WIW.

Hi Stinkers,

In my opinion, the new living room design is nicer. Simple, neat yet stylish. However, both WIW not very nice. I think could be flowerish stuff. But this is my personal opinion only. No offence ya...haha

Ultimately, you see which one suitable your lifestyle and taste...

personally i prefer the old living design with the criss crossing sections.

in the end though, most important is which ones you and your wife like! best of luck, the place looks nice pre-reno, i'm sure it'll be even nicer after

hihi, my 2 cents:

1. new feature wall in living room with straight lines make the place look "longer" and neater.

2. WIW - considered having one or 2 panels of the sliding door as mirrors? the laminate in the new design is like screaming for attention, which is not a bad thing if ur wife likes it.

You dismantled all of these yourself? Wow! How long did it take you?

Given the tight budget constraint (Everything in at around 20K), I have to try and minimize some costing in order to free some amount up to buy nicer and better white goods and furnitures if possible.

Some of my hardwork - Dismantling of existing laminated flooring for whole house, dismantling of kitchen worktop (Plywood with Laminate)

Saved another $700+

Living laminated flooring out

Guestroom on the way

Kitchen top

Hahaha... yeah, I also feel so..... looks more uniformed and gives the modern look that we are looking for.

Cos planning to buy one full length mirror, thats y didnt want any mirrors on the panels Screaming for attention should be what my wifey is looking for.... hahahaahha

Thanks for the input.

Yup...... 100%

Tiring work though....

Kitchen worktop very easy cos it's only screwed on with 9 screws. so just need some patience to unscrew everything and off it comes :0

Laminated flooring wise, took me quite some time.... roughly 7 hours for the entire house.

From skirtings to dismantling of everything.... hahahaha....wifey kept saying I very useful to her can do all the labour jobs...... hahahaha

Actually quite easy.... with the click locking system.... as long as one panel is out, the rest are chicken feet ......

Cheers

Hahaaha.... Yeah... Of cos... Dun wanna be the scapegoat here..... Hahaaha... Anyway, she confirmed the second design alrdy... Hahaha n our wallpaper too 

Cheers 

Went to meet up with one supplier for wallpaper and did the confirmation.... so torn apart by two designs.... both are so nice...... especially the one with the mosaic look-alike... wifey also liked it very much but afaid of the durability of the looks over time...... Let me post up some pics for all to consider in the future.... price wise, also quite reasonable.

Mosiac look-alike in two colours

Black

Golden with a dash of green

Finished effect

The one we chosen due to the classic-ness and durability of looks over time

Hi Stinker,

Congrats on your new home and nice progress there indeed! Seems like you can retain most of the original place since its condition of the floors etc look pretty good still.

I love the 3D designs! Do post more pics as you progress
