theitsybits 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2012 Looking great! Have u tried walking bare foot? HahaOh, was there a prob joining to the toilet floor tiles? Another ID warned me that the floor is not really even...hey we went to see again..it's indeed at different levels and K has said that he can either make a curb or make a slope to join both..we've chosen a slope for easy wheelchair access..it should look similar to my entrance i suppose..Nice!thanks!

Did u choose the homo tiles for ur whole hse or diff materials for living room, kitchen n bedrooms?Could u pm me ur reno quotation n ur contractor contacts? nexer8@hotmail.comThanks and cant wait to see ur photos!We chose the same tiles for the whole house (except toilets) for a seamless look, hoping to create continuity and an illusion of space. Our kitchen is open-concept and we knocked down the walls between service yard and kitchen, and overlaid kitchen/service yard tiles.Tiles should be more durable and less problems than real wood flooring..but grout lines are inevitable although it can be brown to match your tiles..longer tiles are also not recommended due to warping issues (tiles are not totally straight).

theitsybits 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2012 My friend told me tiles wont have warping issues. Isit true?warping as in the tiles is not 100% even..the tiles will not be very even if you lay it like mine as the tiles are not 100% straight..ours is like staggered instead of aligning all tiles..it's not a problem if you lay it in straight aligned rows (like normal homogeneous tiles) as the 'not straight' will be aligned and look straight..very difficult to explain! dun think i did a good job explaining, i think u can ask some IDs or contractors, they should be able to explain it better..but anyway you have to be prepared that it might not be very even..we've seen a few tiles which obviously feel like one side is sunken..K will change that few for us, but he said that he has already warned us about it beforehand and it's inevitable when we use such tiles for indoors..we've already chose the shorter one (60cm) to minimise the problem..we're ok with most if it, but K mentioned that he can see that all isn't very even =_=" he said some of his customer has chosen 90cm tiles, and he's going to make him sign indemnity, as it's definitely not going to be even and he can't be hacking and changing so many tiles.. =p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liawzen 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2012 And the second thing I fell in love was this. It was really love at first sight. Everything was right. From the legs, to the dimensions, to the color and comfort. It totally goes with my theme. The third thing I feel in love with today is this bench for my dining table. I've been looking for benches with such legs to go with my dining table, and almost took the plunge to custom-make one from Lorgans. This is less than half-price of what Lorgan's cost. 165cm for $399.Hi, the bench is available in all outlets for star living? or is it only in furniture mall in Toh Guan Road? Can i know the series for that bench ? I am looking around months in search for something similiar with affordable price. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
