Geez thanks all for the votes! After one full circle, we decided to go ahead with glossy white! Thought that it will go well with our slightly industrial feel in the kitchen. Hope and pray everything works out! We were worried using matt white, or rather wooden feel white, laminate could risk making our kitchen look older and more 'back-dated' than it should. It has been 2 months since renovation started. Until now, we have only got the living tiles, kitchen wall overlay, kitchen cabinet bases and WIW 'fake' wall in place. Hacking works including hacking away the wall between master and bedroom 2 and the cover-up in master toilet as well as the service yard doors and windows. Other than that, nothing tangible took place. Which is disappointing. We thought things would progress faster since wet works are done but no. Our contractor got too busy and we got neglected as a result. Perhaps he got himself too many projects or maybe he was just being plain lazy. We don't know and don't want to guess since it wouldn't be constructive to our project anyway. One BIG note to all new home owners out there searching for ID, or rather contractor, we strongly recommend finding the person who is hardworking and diligent enough in following up as well as being responsible. Forgot to mention, our paint job is very half-past-six. The contractor said it was only half done. We hope so too. Colours were wrong for twice in a row. How careless can you be. But he offered to paint it back to our colour at his own cost. One clap for that.
