theitsybits 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2012 We went to choose flooring today.We should be using these tiles for the whole house for the illusion of bigger space and continuity. It has the most beautiful wood-grain and shade that I love.And the best thing about it? The price! Cheap and wallet-friendly.Love the mosaic and wondering if we could do a strip below our mirror in the common bathroom.For the feature wall in the common bathroom.For the feature wall in the MBR toilet.Hopefully can finalize everything and start renovation soon!

Looking forward to see more beautiful pictures of your new nest. Thank you.hello! they are not laminates..i dislike laminates because of the feel when you step on it..doesn't feel solid to me..as i wanted wood color and same flooring for the whole house, i considered bamboo or parquet but both were not recommended for kitchen..i also considered high-end resilient flooring which is similar to laminate but waterproof, but water may seep through the click system causing mould..i end up going for the most practical (and durable) flooring - good old traditional tiles! good for future when kids push toys around..i'm surprised that there is a lot of selection for wood-grained tiles now..it only cost $2.60psf..u can drop by soon bee huat near IMM..

ayazumi 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2012 I like the wood-grain floor tiles. If I see this, I will also choose this. However, there is a concern for grouting. Did your ID/Contractor explain how he will lay the tiles? Will there be obvious grout lines between the floor tiles? How to minimize the ugliness when do grouting?

How to minimize the ugliness when do grouting?we were also abit worried about that..but we've seen other places doing it, and it looks acceptable to us..since we wanted the wood look, but also want durable and less problems, we chose this..i think the tiler matters..i've seen my contractor's mosaic and tiny honeycomb tiles, he should be able to help us achieve the look ba!

HelenYeo 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2012 Hi, can share how much u are quoted for doing the flooring with the tiles u selected? My flat size is the same as yours..wanted a rough idea as I know homogenous tiles 60x60 @ 3.20psf cost around 6K to do the whole hse but exclude bay windows, kitchen, toilets, service yard and bomb shelter. The wood tiles looks interesting, may consider doing it Are u having the same wood tiles at ur bay window?

theitsybits 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) We finally got our dining table and sideback today! We've been visiting many furniture shops, in search for the perfect dining table. I love wooden tables and wanted something from Dbodhi at Journey East at first, but hubby didn't really fancy it and prices weren't cheap. We also love Grafunkt's dining tables, but it's really out of budget. White Woods, Air, mountain teak also has some nice pieces, but I settled for a less heavy look instead.Karell's dining table and sideback from Commune.http://www.herworldplus.com/shopping/updates/shopping-updates-wallet-friendly-designer-furniture-communeCommune is also starting their GSS from this Saturday, but they gave us the discount anyway! Do drop by, discounts from 5-10% with some great package deals. Edited May 28, 2012 by theitsybits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedbackof the tiles is not that good from my neighbors.yea it's cheap, and most importantly i like the color and grains.. =) we didn't have a chance to even choose tiles from HDB as ours is from SOBF.. but don't think i would have chosen HDB tiles anyway!
