ayazumi 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 i don't think there is any brown tiles in the kitchen. if you mean the left of the drawing, i think that is the laminate to the living room.There is brown tiles, or is that beige tiles? Surrounding the white kitchen floor tiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terrain1976 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 go to lam chuan website lah... see whether they have anything similar.you are so lucky. buy flat and going to do reno also can go so many countries for holiday. i didn't go holiday last year and this year leh.I tried at Lam Chuan website but their samples in web are too small to see the real thing. I happened to see this wood grain design from someone's t blog here( sorry that i have forgotten who is he/she) but this is exactly what i wanted.Actually if u all visited expo home furnishing every time, there is a ID company called Orange C***s, over there they have displayed a set of kitchen cabinet with similar pattern. My ideal laminate but i cant just walk to them and to ask them is from which brand.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My contractor suggested that so he included this in his 3D design but i dun think i can accept this too. I will definitely go for single color tone floor tiles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the pipe link from ceiling to bottom type, like this?From what I know from my contractor, we cannot block the water pipe even if it is boxed up. Meaning to say, your kitchen sink countertop has to go in nearer towards the hob. Cannot build sink countertop to block the water pipe. Double confirm this with your contractor. We asked to build the sink countertop like yours, to block the water pipe, but my contractor said no, cannot block the water pipe Edited April 19, 2012 by ayazumi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We asked to build the sink countertop like yours, to block the water pipe, but my contractor said no, cannot block the water pipeHmm.. how should i explain.. Ok.. yes, the piping is the same as what you have attached but the exact way of boxing up the pipes are not exactly like what it is shown in the 3D drawing.My contractor brought me to one of his on going unit at Bishan which have the same layout as mine. What they had did was.. they boxed up all the pipe with cabinet and doors. The pipe from ceiling to floor - will have two portion. Upper part will have a opening door where bottom will be fixed. They claimed that even when there is any choking or water leakage will not be from this long pipe. The main problem will be from the curved part and this will be hide away with a swinging door cabinet too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was being told different story - that we cannot block the kitchen water pipes, that's why our kitchen sink countertop was shifted in to allow space to open the box-up door.

I was being told different story - that we cannot block the kitchen water pipes, that's why our kitchen sink countertop was shifted in to allow space to open the box-up door.My contractor also told us that he will shift the sink counter top in so that we can open the box up door from behind - which is the laundry area. At least can put brooms, whatever cleaning stuff there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
