no probs!! :notti:

where's europa wallpaper centre?? u sure we can fix wallpapers on our own??? :)

i think most prob we would go for the golden floral one...but quite common ya?? :bangwall:

Europa is at:

Alexandra Distripark, Block 3

3 Pasir Panjang Road #05-07/12, 118483

hmm.. i guess if u r not comfortable about DIY at all then better not...

i second jamez... just choose the one you 2 like best... no worries about being common... coz i have a very commonly popular wallpaper for my living room but we are still not tired of admiring the intricacies of the flower prints on it! :(

But frankly speaking, i think your TV console looks great as it is now... why not consider wallpapering the wall beside it and the rest of the living room walls to demarcate the area? The contrast would bring out the sleek simplicity of your console even more... well, just a thought... :lol:

hi ralph,

thanks..im gonna haf my tv mount onto the feature wall..& yes, everything's gonna be concealed. the power switches are hidden in one of the drawers. & the tv wires will be hidden in the feature wall which will then be "pulled" to the switches..

mi also not very sure how to connect the wires...leaving it to the electrician...mayb u can check with ur ID & electrician how it can be done.. :jawdrop:

with the L-shaped tempered glass up

think you feature wall will look great as it is with all the appliances up :bangwall: :bangwall:

yeah, with the l-shaped tempered glass, it looks much better....but not good enough... :dunno:

i think the gold floral wallpaper is nicer than the other one.

Me and hubby fixed wallpaper on our own b4 and its super tiring lor..

are u sure wallpaper can stick well on smooth glossy laminates? better check with the goodrich people..

and hor, if you wallpaper the entire wall including the metal mirror stripes, you will see dented lines where the mirror stripes are.. even if u remove the mirror strips, there might still be a dent where the mirror strip used to be as the laminate stops there.

the wallpapers cant stick on the laminates...so we have to put on plywood..or sand the laminates to make it rougher...we intend to keep the mirror strips...

hi! i got the wallpaper and glue from goodrich. about $160 for 2 rolls, enough for a 3m wall for the mbr.. goodrich has alot of nice selection and alot of people buy from them..

we didnt use fancy equipments leh.. we made do with a rubber squeegie, put cloth over the rubber part and just use it to press out the bubbles.. sometimes it doesnt work well so we use a ruler.. but u must be careful not to tear the paper..

its quite tiring lor.. have to align the patterns and stuff.. after the whole experience, we decided we wont do it again by ourselves, unless if its only a small small area where we dont need to match patterns.. hehe.

u are still retaining the mirror strips.... that means u can remove the strips now without damage and put back the strips after wallpapering? thot the strips are glued on alraedy..

actually instead of changing into wallpaper, why dont u ask ur contractor whether its still possible for u to change to a darker laminate instead. ask him to quote u then u can compare the diff lor.
