Anyone Done Pebble Flooring?

[magpie2]

Blanche,

If I am not wrong, your house appears in one of the home decor mag. Saw it before.

Your house is really very nice. Did you get designer to do it for you? I like it very much. Esp the use of orange tone in your house. I am going for orange too...Find it retro and cosy.

A K,
My homo tiles is 60 by 60.

Hi Magdalene,

Thanks for the reply. btw does your 16k reno include many carpentery?

U choose the tile design yourself? any idea of the tile code?? btw do u hv any problem with homo tiles e.g. warping??

Thanks again.

hi magdalene,

can i take a look at your pix too. Thks my email is [email protected]

 

[nibnew]

by the way is it necessary to have the pebble flooring to start at the entrance of the door?

 

[lorddraco]

My id recommend pebble for washing area. Kitchen. Lol ... my reno quote at $36. Homo titles 60cmx60cm, retitles of bathroom, carpentry for Master bedroom, study and living.

Okean,

Yep, mine is a 5-room flat. As we got the flat about 1.5 years ago, cannot really rememeber the cost of the strips already

Should be between $500 to $1000 for all 10 strips, I think

Chijmes,

Nope, no problems with the laminate so far, even with a doggie at home

. The brand is pergo. Minimal care as well. Just use magic clean and later just simply mop the floor. so far no scratches even with doggie running around. veyr pleased with it.

Magdalene,

Yes, you're right. Thanks for the compliments It was featured in Square Room eons back

. We told an ID firm to coordinate for us. Actually, my hubby likes resort and I like retro, so in the end, it was a combination of both. The laminate gives it a more resort feel, so are my toilets. but the furnishings would be retro. As for the orange theme, cos I prefer something vibrant...

Hi there,
Everyone got my email liaoz?

AK,
The homo tile is from China.The patterns of my tiles are beige in white stripes instead of cloud. I find it neater than those in clouds. It was also chosen by my fh and the designer jointly. No problem with my tiles so far. No warping. Except I find it harder to maintain than ceramic tiles. Cos' it's porous. This point, you have to keep in mind. ;p

Chjimes,
My bedrooms are also laminates. I also don't have problem with it. In fact I find it easier to maintain than homo tiles. ;p

Hi Blanche and Magdalene,

Thanks for the info.

Hi Magdalene,

Thanks for the info. We are looking at this kind of tiles also. lines instead of cloudy so was wondering u know of the code #. our designer brought us to the tile shop to choose but we dun seem to see this design when we are looking at the 50x50 tiles. But happen to see similar ones (both 50x50 & 60x60) in those neighbourhood tile shop. maybe i go chk on the 60x60 to see if they hv tat design. the only thing i kind of concern is the 60x60 warping situation. heard many bad comment on it so could not really make up our mind which to choose from. our designer recommended 50x50 but dun seem to hv those line design in tat tile shop.

Hi Magdalene,

Does your reno includes any wardrobe carpentry? Cos' with the flooring, kitchen cabinet, it seems really value-for money.

I bought this sofa :

[blutrunk]

hi tarea, your foyer look very nice. but u have to install a false ceiling to accomodate the beam issit? i like the look overall. classy and cool.

wat kind of pebble flooring do u use? issit those rough or smooth kind? I was thinking about doing something like that too. but dunno whether when i walk on it, the feeling is nice or not.

 

[aeina]

HI magdalene,

Can i peek peek too?? My email is [email protected]

Thank u in advance.

 

[tarea]

hi Blutrunk,

thanks.

yup, we did false ceiling.
eh... not sure the pebble is those smooth or rough kind, but it's those 5mm kind. our walk-in's is 3mm and it's kind of picking to the foot.
so we guess it would be smoother if it's of a bigger size.

cheers,
tarea

[blackforest]

May I know which ID did you signed up?
Thanks.

 

[blutrunk]

okipoki, your living room look rather classy too. Hope mine will turn out well too. I am using timber strip flooring. wat flooring are u using for your house?

 

[balicraze]

tarea,
your foyer looks similar with mine, the pebblewash and chengai wood is exactly the same, but mine false ceiling is differently done up w/o those beams, even your shoe rack is also same, but mine is a "L" shape.

 

[tarea]

hi joe,

Also if possible, can you please send me your quotation as well?

Many Thanks.

 

[okipoki]

Blutrunk,
As u can see, my foyer is pebbles to kitchen & living area is homo. My dinning area which is not shown is parquet & all my bedrooms too.

Timber strips are nice & I love it but is rather ex for me lah (hehe budget tight). The only part for my living is the wood colour is rather dark... *sigh* due to wrong colour selection.

 

[shellfish]

Hi Tarea,
can i have a look at ur foyer's pic and also the quotation? my email address is [email protected].

Thanks.

 

[balicraze]

tarea,
Ya, quite similar to showflat, but the other side is actually a wine/liquor area with pigeon holes.

ceiling is a long stretch of lights till window, i called it "the pilot runway".

[sharon__joseph]

hi all,
anyone know where to buy those balinese style tiles stepping stones? i wanna use them in my foyer...

 

[excalibur]

Hi Sharon,
Are you looking for these types of stepping stones?

If you are, you should be able to find them in nurseries like Far East Flora and the likes of them.

 

[sharon__joseph]

Alan, i m actually looking for this type of stepping stone... do u think far east flora has it as well? and btw is far east flora located near caldecott?

 

[odae]

Sharon,

R u referring to those big pebbles? If so u can get them at the nurseries near Bedok South/East Coast Rd leh..

 

[sharon__joseph]

erm, i m actually referring to those square pieces of balinese stepping stone...

 

[excalibur]

Sharon, oh... Dun think Far East have such fanciful ones....
Think I saw some websites selling something similar...
But being stones, the shipping would probably cost more then the items, since most of the sites are either American or European.
