Who to blame?

I always feel that those born in the late 50s and during the 60s have a much better and easier life. Those born in the 70s considered the most unfortunate and I happen to be one of them .

should be ok if u go for a neutral colour like silver....shouldnt be that bad la and also its most cost saving method. Post pix once its available. U'll have to spend a few k if u wanna replace the whole railings as the cost would be incurred for pulling out the existing railings, replacing new railings and not forgetting pulling it out would also damage the flooring.

Hi! I personally feel that if you don't really like the design of the gates/grilles, you need to replace them.

I'm replacing mine cause previous owner also choose those flowery design.

Even tight on budget also change!!!!

manage to squeeze some cash out by cutting budget on other area. **heart pain pain**

I can't imagine every day I return home from work and the 1st thing that greets me is this green and ugly door gate/grilles. walan.... will faint..

Also I find it pointless if your house design or reno till swee swee but spoil by the gate/grilles looks. Well, again, it will depend what theme your house is having. Such flowery designs may blend into certain themes but abit hard to swallow for modern/minimalist theme.

If really no money, probably can coat the gate/grilles in silver. Somehow it will look nicer......
