Journey to creating our home 4 room resale

[candywhite 1]

Our ID provided fire rated door frame for main door and Nyatoh for the rest. 

That was without us asking for fire rated door frame! They really provided good quality materials without shortchanging us. 

 

 

 

We researched on wood look tiles, vinyl laminates, hardwood flooring for our rooms. Vinyl laminates definitely no. Because it has a hollow feel, and sound resonates through the floor when walking on vinyl laminated flooring. The glue used in the laminates, some are not eco friendly. 

 

Wood look tiles were the next best option. They were easy to maintain. But the feel to it is abit more cold and hard. Parquet gave that warm and cozy feel to a room.

If only can parquet the whole house like European look hahaa!

 

 

We decided to go for parquet for the rooms. This colour of wood has a tinge of red cherry. 

We did consider Forest Road solid oak wood, the colour of oak was a little more pale. The price was $4900 for three rooms. $600 for skirting. Our ID provided a quote of $4800 parquet hardwood including screed, skirting. 

 

We initially wanted just the back splash to be black. But our ID said, make it floor to ceiling at the end. Whole wall with the senso nero marquina tile! One of the benefits of having a proactive ID! ideas we never have thought about!
