BusyBee 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2013 New 3D wallpaper for dining area. Hubby chose to leave the wall blank to act as a feature wall. But I think it's a bit plain. What do you think? Should I "spice" it up with photo frames? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BusyBee 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2013 which laminate u used and which color code? after staying there for more than half a yr, does the white slowly turn yellowish?Sorry for late reply. Has been very busy last week. We used "Jennings White P0949HG laminate with ABS trimmings" uniformly for all BI carpentry. This is non-glossy, but comes in shiny matt, so it's sort of anti-fingerprint. After 9 months, it still looks like new We also used white laminate (not of the same brand and colour code) for BI carpentry in our old home. 6 years after renovation, our carpentry still looks new. So I think it has to do with regular maintenance and on the daily usage.Having a open-concept kitchen, we hardly cook, maybe once fortnightly and we try to stick to non-greasy menus. Even after cooking, we will wipe off the cabinet surfaces with damp cloth. We also do regular dusting of the cabinet surfaces with magiclean duster, maybe once per week.Hope my info helps.
