heard of pple who dun change the pipe

afterall, not all will want to stay in the flat for the rest of their lives

most who dun change intend to sell their flat after 5yrs so no point spending so much money

Thanks..

we kena con by one curtain man... who give us inferior material and accuse us for not stating in advance what kind we want so when you shop for curtain must be careful

my lesson is

1) CHEAP may not necessary be good, so ask where the material come from

2) STATE upfront what kind you want, eg if you want to block light, make sure it is written BLACK and wHITE on the invoice

3) dun always believe what the Curtain man say...do some research and ask them to bring Material for you to see and compare

4) when placing order make sure you remeber the codes of the curtain you want.

5) please refer to this thread for more details http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?sh...=5980&st=40

for me ... all my bedroom are block out light curtains (>50% kind of blocking) cos we sleep alot

and my study room is block out roller blind (>50% kind of blocking) and my living room is 2 layer curtain ...one is those see through (dun remember the name of that kind of curtain) and the other is slight thicker...so when put both down...it good enuff to block out some light

total spent...think almost 2K

Hi zeny

Agree with you. reno never cheap.

thanks for your thoughts on curtains.

ask you a few things

1. for homogenous tiles, is it better to get plain colour type or better with some linear design? want to have a spacious look. think both not bad, but maybe plain want more spacious look? linear want nice too but not sure if will look nice when laid down..

2. is it advisable to change the current PVC pipes before reno?

thanks

my tiles are with marble-like lines

not too sure about the spacious look coz my living room is very long to start with

the pipes is a now-or-never thing

either you change before everything goes up or live with it loh
