I am so happy to see you here! I will have to go back and see if i can retrieve my posts... thought I would make them into a little book for my daughter, with photos. Quick run-down on the bathroom (not travels, no time) - The kitchen has a rather elegant sliding door with beveled glass panels. Painted white, since this was the original colour. GD's new bathroom has the doors I had picked earlier; i thought of polishing them but decided sprayed automobile paint (on a resin primer) would wear better. Especially since it is such a small bathroom, and she is so splashy. I have this finish in my kitchen and it has lasted 15 years now. A tad chipped here and there, but only needs a wipe down once a week. Same finish for the balcony doors, also split like the bathroom. We have a new wardrobe, a study table with built-in shelves, and a small chest of drawers for her odds and ends. I want to re-tile the tiny balcony, more as a little statement. Currently we are looking at Portuguese tiles, though I did think a mosaic with a funky cat might be nice. Let me see the costing. The room will be painted a neutral adobe, with bright white woodwork and an off-white ceiling. This means she can go wild with cushions and covers. Other changes in the flat; We have changed the glass in the master bedroom and living room from small cramped panes to a single pane for each section with a 1" bevel all round. Doubles the cost of the glass, but looks so elegant! The air-conditioning is being re-located. The compressors were all mounted in the bedroom and living room balconies, which looked terrible and meant the balconies (very narrow, only 30" deep) couldn't be used for anything. Not even plants. So they are being moved so that the compressors can be mounted at the rear of the building. two down, one to go. Now we can put in some nice plants, fishtail palms etc. The kitchen counter on one side came out intact and will be reused elsewhere. I am planning overhead storage, cupboards, and a draining cupboard for plates and glasses. Right now there is no dish washer, though a place is earmarked, but for now I will put in a cupboard with steel racks for cups, glasses and plates, all hidden behind pressed glass doors. This is all in the planning stage.... Pictures in a little while, they are mostly on my ipad and don't transfer well to the mac. They come without numbers... so I have to rename the or something. Somebody tell me how to do this!

Pasting of tiles is very easy to do and used frequently in modern day practice. Few points to remember - 1. Cleaning of existing terrazzo. It should be done professionally with good quality chemicals. 2. Filling of gaps. Since terrazzo is composite material usually a 5 yr plus floor will have some undulations. They need to be scraped and filled in. 3. Pasting should be done with good quality adhesives and since you are living in the same place...care needs to be taken that after pastIng you do not disturb the floor for Atleast 30 hours. Make sure to follow the instructions on adhesive packing, they are simple n clear. 4. Take care to maintain a minimal slope towards the terrace or the toilets. Now about choice of colors - 1. NO need to think about wall color...that's something most people change every few years. 2. Thinking about furniture if it's something you don't want to change is good. 3. Pastel shades like cream, beige are easy to maintain. Gloss finish adds brightness and makes the space look larger. 4. If the house is small it is advisable to use same tile color all over. Other wise bedrooms can be in more earthy tone or laminate. Regards Reshma Sathe-Khare archeinconsultants@gmail.com

Hi Suresh, a few suggestion: the width of the passages seems too much to us if you look at it in relationship to the size of the rooms, it is not efficient // we would reconsider where the doors are placed and in what direction do they open // what is the space around the staircase? // What kind of a structure if this? maybe you should consider flipping kitchen and bathrooms to the east for natural ventilation, if possible of course... Hope we were helpful! For further advice please do check out our profile and our website (www.wallup.in), we specialised on space planning consultancy at very competitive prices and timelines!
