revox88 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2012 Wow.... grand dining area. I have seen in hotels as their feature walls, but I'm not sure if it's quartz or just craftstones. Now I'm actually seeing your house with quartz feature wall. Cool! And it sparkles!Hi ayazumi,We also like the fact that it sparkles. The thought of using quartz or craftstone type of design never crossed our mind before. All along is just moasic moasic moasic..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All along is just moasic moasic moasic..... Nice nice. Looks like iceberg too, hopefully it don't spoil your current house look. This quartz feature wall may make your house a bit icy cold feel. Your current house concept is more of a resort and gives people a warm feel. Does it comes in other colors? Maybe choose other colors, because white quartz may not suit your current house concept. Just my two cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your current house concept is more of a resort and gives people a warm feel. Does it comes in other colors? Maybe choose other colors, because white quartz may not suit your current house concept. Just my two cents.We are taking the plunge on deciding for the quartz. It comes in black. Black also nice but not a good back drop for our dining. In the end, we are trying to balance fengshui with design. It does cross our mind that the dining area will be overwhelmed with white or cold feel therefore we are planning to get colourful kitchen accessories and dining chairs.Resort style is actually just apply for our MBR so crossing our fingers that it turns out well....

I like the dining table with underframe leg!Haha the mirror is actually used to create a reflection of the living windows...the underframe leg shown in the foto is just a wooden support and it will be replaced by stainless steel legs.
