thanx thanx. u r one of the few who love my black black kitchen n toilet :(

but nevertheless i love them too :yamseng:

will a black kitchen and toilets make the whole house very dark and yin.. not sure read abt it in one of those FS books..

hehe. i forget to ask for his advise :jawdrop:

nah. it's not late yet :notti:

red: 2 + 1(hubby) + 0.5(me!)

white: 2 + 0.5(me)

black: 0

yeah!! so red is leading now!!

Hi mwerkz,

Just my opinion, I would go for white..you have a lot of red and black. White is more neutral and can tone down those 2, and makes your kitchen brighter and inviting, and your countertop would appear to flow continuously from the floor to the ceiling. Besides your sides of cabinet near your hood also white...so more balanced.

erms. black kitchen n toilet means i need install more lights n maybe electrical cost will be higher. ying or not i dunno. since i din consult any fs master, i dun wanna check n wun affect my design =p

i know alot of pple consult oredi, definitely need to follow his opinion, else no pt seeking in de first place.

hehe. cos most of my walls are like white with a few in some special color. so my idea is to make use carpentary n tiles to bring out the red n black as much as possible.

moreover i feel red is a very nice color.

Me also like black, as mine also black kitchen.

urs new hm ma. nxt time reno again den do black toilet lo =p

haha. u will be dissapointed. cos kitchen wall tiles = kitchen floor tiles = mbr bathroom floor tiles = common bathroom floor tiles. n dey are all not glossy. all matt surface with some shiny bits here n there.

mbr bathroom wall tiles oso not glossy flowery kind :(

only glossy tiles is de common bathroom wall tiles (black) n living room wall tiles (white).
