Why not to do these things that cost $$$

One thing i keep wanting to say - but aint nice on other pple's blog.

Why spend $50-$60k to engage a Interior Designer only to find out that 99% of all those new houses in your block looks MORE or LESS same as yours?

feature walls(tv console) - when 99% of your neighbours all have this - what/how feature is this feature wall?

string curtains - as above, unless you hang G-strings in a row

wall decals - when it starts to peel off by itself, you will know "HOW" special it is.

pebbles/sand - when it comes to cleaning HA! very very special indeed. not applicable to those who can afford maids.

Stuffs meant for hotels/restaurants

false ceiling virtually EVERYwhere - from livingroom to bedrooms to toilets/kitchens.
99% of hdb flat have low ceiling except for some units(top most flr) - why make a low ceiling even more lower? lower ceiling is HOT/warm.
99% of kitchen and toilets have moisture = things starts to get ugly real soon unless appropriete measures are taken(ventilator).

30x-50x downlights - WOW, most pple wont switch all of them on after moving in - especially after receiving their first PUB bill. 50 pieces of lets say energy saving 5w bulbs = 250 watts, very energy saving indeed.

"salt onto the wounds" = Downlights with built in ballast
- another WOW, when you need to replace the ballast.

To top it up - 50k-60k are reno loans = super WOW!!! hopes everyone keep their job for the years to come.
If you are paying CASH 50-60k for it = geez , you must be rich!!!

All the above are my personal opinions - your money, not my money, how you spend your money none of my/our biz but everyone definitely have the right to laugh.
