furniture can send..... lightings must cash and carry but if buy around same time... just send to the furniture shop and get them send in together...

 

just an alternative for you if on tight budget

i was thinking as proposed by wife to be. living room marble can liao. rooms parquet(dunno if wrong spelling) or laminated. but i was thinking all uniform if possible.

 

den kitchen and toilet go ceramic. toilets go those non slip kind.

 

I believe HDB provides flooring for kitchen and toilet. You can check it out.

my experience with laminate flooring is bad, they dont last the time, water will sip in during wash and will warp and become uneven.

my fren got it from gucca, at masai.. has few branches

 

i got it from a casa lifestyle, a small shop at taman austin.....

 

milan is more establised but more expensive too...

 

lighting can get opposite sentosa.... this shop was recommended by a datuk's daughter.... quite cheap.. curtains is 2 shops down too....

 

take note when buying leather seats or sofas... be it in SG or MY... they always claim full leather but it is actually leather bond... this are small pieces of leather recycled and bonded together.. it cracks easily...

 

leather bond is very smooth to the feel as compared to real leather

6 years ago, I bought all my furniture back in my hometown in Johor too.

- 1 queen size bed set (comes with a queen size wood bedframe, 4 door to-the-ceiling wardrobe, make-up cabinet with marge mirror, 1 side bed cabinet).

- 1 additional same 4-door to-the ceiling wardrobe

- 1 nyatoh super single bed with another pullout bed underneath

- 1 3+2+1 fabric sofa + glasstop coffee table with 2 drawers

- TV cabinet with glasstop

- 1 solid wood shoe rack cum place to put wallet, keys, etc

- 1 6 seat dining table with glasstop with 6 chairs

- 1 solid wood side dining cabinet

- 1 cabinet with ceramic top as a place to prepare milk for my then baby girl.

 

6 years liao, the sofa still solid despite my children climbing around, except that some of the corners, the fabric torn. Dining table top got scratch mark. Rest is OK.....

 

Total cost: about 16K RM.

yeah. that the problem. They try to copy Condo. but dont forget. Condo tend to be bigger in size. (not saying about those small size one lah) so that corridor still okay. but not for HDB especially those 4 room type. Living room already very small liao, still loss some more space to a corridor. [bigcry]

Ceramic texture tend to be uneven with certain patterns, designs and thus therein their attractiveness for the living room floor. Hw in the kitchen, those unevenness will tend to make cleaning harder as the dirt together with kitchen grease will get trapped in the grooves and uneven texture etc. Your mop will clean the top surface but will not "dig" in to remove the oil/dirt in the sunk in texture. Same for those non slip tiles. They are non slip because the surface is textured and textured surfaces trap dirt/oil more easily.

 

Ceramic when the surface is chipped, will show their red clay inner "underwear" which is unsightly unless your ceramic tiles are of the red/orange hue. Most folks tend to drop kitchen ware more in the kitchen than in the other rooms so you increase the probability of a chipped unsightly tile. Homo matt in a way, being colour homo from surface through the thickness of the tile, tends to hide any chip more easily than ceramic. But homo if not laid properly, may be rough at the tile edge as the edge is corner-ed vs ceramic with a rounded edge. My homo tiles got chipped before from a fallen tool. Hardly noticeable.

 

All the tiles got pros and cons. Depends on your lifestyle when you make the choice. The tile shops should be able to advise.
