AllI want is a touch of classic look to my furniture - Mumbai
Everywhere I went in Mumbai,, even some expensive 24 crore apartments, I see only basic furniture designs in their homes, except that the richer people have imported furniture pieces, but those pieces in their homes, if made locally, are just basic no-frill designs like A and B below. All I am trying to get is a simple modification to make it look look like iC. Either the carpenters I tried have wanted to dissuade me from choosing that design or they say it takes a lot of work and can be prohibitively expensive. Is it that even simple moldings like the ones in this design are not available here in India or am I contacting wrong ill equipped carpenters ? Can you suggest any good carpenters (I live in Andheri area)?
.
I can find this in Mumbai (A)
and I can get this also (B)
but could not get someone who says he can do this (C ) when it is the exact same thing as A with moldings nailed in and painted. How can I find these moldings and a carpenter who has done that much more than the basic furniture in Mumbai? I can do away with the curved design at the bottom due to workmanship concerns.

Comments (300)I think a comfortable distance between the island and the counter is around 42". It seems that you have only 30" between your cook top and the counter. I might be a little too tight. The wall between the entrance and the kitchen could be 4' long instead of 6', you would then be able to move the island a foot which would give you more room between the cook top and the island. Could you switch the location of the toilet and vanity in your dad's bathroom so your enter facing a vanity instead of a toilet which is a lot nicer....See MoreNeed help with my living room
Comments (138)Leather sofas can really dominate the room and can give an overall cold feeling. I would add some earthy elements, like a wood coffee table with glass or metal. Go to Restoration Hardware's website and look at their sofa room scenes. And I'm sorry I think the art is too harsh for the room. That's all your eye goes to in the room. too overpowering. I would look for something softer or maybe a cool mirror and I would add color to the room with pillows and some colorful lamps. I also think woven blinds would look great. They add warmth and give a finished look. The color of your window treatments should contrast your wall color a bit, not match it or else it starts to look generic and blah.. You have warm walls, warm floors and the woven blinds, like Hunter Douglas brand would pull it all together for you....See MoreNeed help for my living room
Comments (34)Have you ever thought about floating shelves? I think pairing a few floating shelves together would look great and would free up space in your living room. I really like the Eugene floating shelf from Bryght and I think it would compliment your existing pieces. http://www.bryght.com/product/160/eugene-cocoa-shelf...See Moreneed help for florring
Comments (10)Thanks for your reply Patricia. Grey Willam Marble is fantastic, will look something different, as maximum people will go for beige or cream, but i am sceptical about using a dark florring as trasfer of light will be less making the room go smaller and darker in ambience. Need your advice on this also First choice was white due to the reason that lighter florring give a wider look even to a small area, My walls and ceiling will be white, furniture most of it will be white and little bit of charcol greey to brerak down the continuity of white. Also advice which highliting color of a wall in an individual wall will go well with combination of white and charcol grey. ( I have two bedroom , dinning and hall and kitchen) Also find attached pic of Grey Wiliam Marble...See More- 7 years ago

Thanks. Somehow I did not have luck finding good carpenters,
Here is how I wanted the drawers to look.
Here is how carpenter from my locality (not too cheap a neighborhood, called Lokhandwala) tried to make, A you can see, he tried to chisel the wood to get this design. Obviously had no clue. Finally he gave up, Brought the unfinished desk in with an excuse to show me how it is coming along, left it with me and never showed his face again.
So I tried an expensive carpenter, who did some work at an apartment on NapeanSea Road, a very expensive locality and paid him what he wanted. He too did not know how to make this. All he did was out a moulding in the center to make it look .as though it were similar to what I wanted. At least his work was clean, except that he represented that the top was teakwood while I lter found out that it is mango wood, but he too did not know how to get this done.
I hope one of you can suggest a carpenter with some skill.
