chocoholic84 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2012 Floor Selection!A major decision for us! As I have mentioned earlier, we wanted to minimise hacking, so we shall overlay the existing marble flooring. We can overlay with Parquet, tiles, or laminates.We love parquet, having lived with parquet for the past 6 years, we simply just loved it with no regret, we took care of it very well. But ever since the kids came along, scratches, knocks are inevitable, we just closed both eyes!!! At least with the soft flooring, it minimize the impact from their numerous falls. With the new house, we just have to give parquet a miss, any scratches on the floor will definitely make us boil!!! For Tiles, we just don't like the hard and cold surface! Narrow down to just laminates. We have our reservation for laminates, we heard horror story about laminates, how it budge after water seep in, the hollow sound, etc etc.... We source from various flooring company but still not satisfy with it. When we are sourcing from ID firms, one of them suggested Vinyl Flooring, a type of rubber laminates, and it is resistant to scratches and impact, insulate against sound. Sound good!! We research a little bit more on it and decided to give it a go! And since we are leveling up the kitchen, dinning and living area, laying the whole ground floor with vinyl, we have selected the high-end resilient flooring, 100% waterproof... minimising lots of stress and maintenance. We got the sales person to bring down some samples, and we are still discussing with our IDs the colour scheme we are going. But most likely we will go for the Oak Black!!Hi Jshome, We did Vinyl flooring too ! no regrets.... luving it ever since it was installed =p although we know its resistant to scratches and water , I admit .. We are still very careful with it ..guess our "babying " will wear off in time When we chose "Aspen black " for our MBR ,we were warned that it might be too dark but we still went with it ... Love to see ur pics . Which company are you guys going with ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skeptical about the idea initally, but decided to take the risk and trust the expert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love to see ur pics . Which company are you guys going with ?Wow great, thanks for giving us your feedback, i hope i have no regrets too. We are using "Aspen Black" for both the living and kitchen, in fact the black looks lighter in the night with the lights on. We got ours from Evorich.Must continue to take care of your floor. We have decided to give a 10yr lifespan for the vinyl flooring, so we will take extra care to live up to that expectation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jshome 1 Report post Posted May 1, 2012 Having headache searching for nice dinning chair. Since our dinning area is around our island, we have to source for chair with the right height. But seems like the choices are limited. Those that we saw is either too bulky or too filmsy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jshome 1 Report post Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) I was at furniture fair yesterday and testing the Sweet Dream mattress. Found the mattress that I like and its around $3000 for king size, but seems like this brand not a popular choice among renotalk so didnt place order. Maybe i should go again and test other brand in the same price range bed before making a decision.Shall check out robinson member sales too!
