The inlays are so pretty!

6 years ago

Did you use engineered hardwood? I'm thinking about doing something similar in our game room. We've talked to several flooring contractors and we were told that engineered flooring is difficult to cut clean. Therefore it's a problem for an inlay pattern like the one you have here.

Hi Pam, we are glad you like it! Yes, this particular picture is a tile mixed with an engineered wood floor and it also can be done with wood look tile.

HELP: Small L-shaped kitchen with refuse chute on wall!
Q

Are you saying that cooking next to the chute would gross you out even if its covered? Andd to use it for its intended purpose? In the first picture, it looks like the stove is directly underneath the chute, but I can see in other pics that it is not. I think it is far enough away. If everything is bagged properly, it shouldn't be that bad. You will have to check on local code regarding having the stove next to the window. Code may make your decision for you. People usually just put shorter cabinets above that type of range hood. I would recommend doing so because you need all the storage you can get. The hood--being different from the bank of cabinets--will provide relief to the eye. With cabinets above, it'll still feel balanced. And, as for covering the chute, do you want to cover it and restrict access or do you still need to use it for its intended purpose and just want to camouflage it? To help the room feel pleasant, cheery, and light, I recommend using a glass tile. Even though it's applied to a wall, the translucency still shows and evokes a sense of the adjectives above. I think it would help keep things light. Consider a slightly higher toe-kick underneath the lower cabinets. It helps to create a lighter-footed feeling. You could also consider cabinets that have furniture style feet. for a more open feeling. Your kitchen seems like an ideal room to use modern, lacquered cabinets. I don't know if you like the super-modern look, but I think it could be nice. Maybe just for the uppers. Use a medium-to-light toned wood on the bottom. A limestone floor might be nice. Or you can do wood or laminate. You could go with dark or light. I think it's mostly about preference.

Covering up Verandah planter in Singapore
Q

Hi Tammy, these planter boxes are pretty common these days and we've covered lots of them for homeowners staying in places like The Minton and The Palette. Our proposed solution is to build a stainless steel structure with industrial-grade walkway grating to span the depression in the balcony. This solution ensures a lifespan of 10 years and beyond. Then, we give homeowners the option of covering the area with artificial grass or wooden decking. I'm not sure about your balcony, but most balconies do get rainwater falling on it. This solution is ideal as it doesn't rot like a wood base does over time. I've attached a picture from one of our customers showing how we covered her planter box. Hope this helps. Please feel free to contact us or visit our website at AbsolutOutdoors.com for more information. Warmest regards, Gareth Lim Absolut Outdoors Pte Ltd

Where/what plants to get to decorate bedroom?
Q
Comments (7)
Money plants are super easy to maintain! I've had mine for the past 7 months since moving in to our new flat and it is growing wildly around its 1.5m pole with minimal care. Cacti don't need much attention as well and make for nice decorative plants especially in toilets where you might not get much sunlight. The air plant in your second picture was actually being sold at my neighbourhood pasar malam and I was very close to getting it (apparently it only needs occasional spraying of water) but it wasn't quite my style and I went for a different plant that I'm still trying to figure out the name of. :)

Cool without aircon?
Q
Comments (1)
Hi Olivia, There are some tips [here[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/12-ways-to-keep-cool-at-home-without-air-conditioning-stsetivw-vs~69592701). My own tip: switch the aircon on for a while before you're about to sleep so it feels shiok when you get into bed. Have the aircon on timer so it switches off in about an hour (or however long you may need it), and have the fan on for the rest of the night, circulating the residual cool air. See how this works for you?
