iwantitred 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2013 Hi, I second what the others have shared. Red is nice colour but not advisable to use it too excessively.My flat which is (still) undergoing a renovation now, we use red tiles in toilets and burgundy kitchen cabinets. We dare not use Fiery Red as we are not so daring.........LOL.I know many who believe in Feng Shui will not recommend Red walls or too much reds in a home.As we do not have a theme for our home and some will feel that it's so 'rojak'. Since we are not confined with a theme, it gives us the liberty to choose tiles, wall paints, home furnitures base on our likings and make selection of colours more easily.Most of the colours in our unit is White, Ivory and some Black. Personally, I feel that some reds in the flat will make it less boring. Our home has nothing special but we love it because we get involved in choosing almost everything and we enjoy the renovation journey (this far) with some hiccups here and there.I look forward to seeing more images of your place in your t-blog :-)Hehe! we are red zone buddy oops, never consult any Feng Shui master...>.<After going through almost 70% of the renovation journey...I think you are absolutely right...we confined ourselves to only 2 colors that buying furniture/furnishing/appliances etc can become pretty challenging. Checking out and admiring your spacious pretty home! <3 how I wish I've got an EM too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MiracleSG 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2013 What's the difference between normal Mitsubishi system 4 vs heavy industry system 4?It's cheaper and has more functions. But repairing it will cost more due to lack of parts as the two Mitsubishi belong to two different companies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kooky 2 Report post Posted April 19, 2013 Thank for your compliment.It has been over 4 months since we engaged our contractor - well, we have to give him the benefit of doubts as he only came into the picture after we have 'sacked' our 1st contractor who is rather incompetent in submitting clear drawing to relocate our staircaseDue to X'mas and CNY and my spouse traveling again, the renovation sort of put on hold and another few more weeks as there are some minor hiccups here and there. It is not smooth sailing but we are getting there.If I have a chance to choose again and there is available EA in this vinicity, I will take an EA anytime because the cost on re-constructing the staircase ; depending on material one has chosen, is rather expensive.Hope your renovation journey will be as hassle-free as possible :-)Hehe! we are red zone buddy oops, never consult any Feng Shui master...>.<After going through almost 70% of the renovation journey...I think you are absolutely right...we confined ourselves to only 2 colors that buying furniture/furnishing/appliances etc can become pretty challenging.

iwantitred 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2013 What's the difference between normal Mitsubishi system 4 vs heavy industry system 4?Yes, MiracleSG is right. Though both carry Mitsubishi brands - they are made by 2 different companies. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has better energy consumption (one of the best in sg market) than Mitsubishi. However, pricing wise - I didn't find that it's any cheaper than Mitsubishi System 4 (more or less comparable maybe $100-200 difference only). Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is also exclusive to Gain City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
