Fitting out your Thailand condo

[Khun Custard]

So what the recommendation for the best quality / location - view / price 100sq.m. condo for sale Pattaya - Sth Jomtien at the moment?
I'm in the market!

[dirtydog]

^I have to admit I really have no idea, I don't follow the property market for condos.

So lets have a look at a really big bed, we are just waiting for the guy to do the covering for it.

[jizzybloke]

That is not a bed, it's a giant drunken toe stubber!

[dirtydog]

1cm of foam and a plastic covering to be put on yet, so the toe stubbing wont hurt so much

[Loy Toy]

Looks nice DD.

Had the issarn brothers in to do the design have we?

[dirtydog]

I generally try to avoid employing issarn people.

I know what you mean!

Piss in the shitter even before it is hooked up to the plumbing and spill all their stinky food all over the floors. Flies everywhere all over your appartment and after they have had their lunch.

Normally will adopt one of the soi dogs during the project and then they fcul off and leave the dog behind.

Been there DD. Been there!

Hang on. Thats Thai construction workers in general.

[dirtydog]

Well the bed was actually finished a couple of days ago but only just got time to upload the pictures, here is the guy sticking the covering on.



Making sure it is all nice and neat.



Here we go, one complete large size shagging platform



And the final fancy bits on the ceiling, thats teakwood stained black.

Is your customer colour blind?, the kitchen looks terrible there is no contrast in the colours selected and the black curtains and teak trimming are a bit cheesy, no?

I'm with you there Spin but each to his own. The customer probably has a place elsewhere with white wood and flock wallpaper.

Why does the kitchen need contrasting colors? The curtains actually look really good, when he first mentioned black curtains I have to admit I thought it would look crap, but it does look really nice.

[Spin]

^ It doesnt have to be contrasting but to have marble wood and tiles all the same colour looks a bit shite to me. I would'nt do a kitchen in that scheme because you might put off buyers if you ever came to sell. Thats the thing when a customer chooses his own colour scheme, most of the time he'll do it out like some kind of 80's Ritzys disco in Southend or something

[Spin]

Heres the kind of thing I mean, the wood the worktops and the backsplashes are all different colour but work well together.

As Khun Loom said, "to each their own". Personally, I don't care for glass in my kitchen cabinets as in post above pic...

Although I really like the stain colors of the cabinets you put in Khun DD, the counter top has a little too much red in it for me. I would have preferred black being the dominent color in the counter top. But, "to each their own".

'Cornice', or 'coving' are the words you could be looking for.

[Travelmate]

Nice bed. How much was the total for the bed. Mattress inclusive?

Sorry, but that combination of colour just looks wrong.
Though you have to like it and if you do, good for you.

The mattress is a Sealy mattress so they are expensive, it cost 25,000baht for that with a few free pillows thrown in, the bed frame etc could have been made for 12,000baht. Don't forget this is a 7 foot by 7 foot mattress so it's all special order stuff.

'Cornice', or 'coving' are the words you could be looking for.

I keep telling them that it is coving, they are all Americans though and use some other words, ie we use the word plaster board, Americans say Dry Wall for partition walls.

[flash]

Yanks would sometimes call it crown moulding

[ThisOldHouse]

^^ You beat me to it Flash... You're all right. We Americans would call the strip you put up where the wall and ceiling meet "crown molding." Here's an example of a Crown with Dentil Strip I did in my American kitchen remodel:



A decorative "cornice" is usually applied above doors or windows and sticks out from the wall surface.

Cove is generally a strip of wood or other material with a concave face used in wordworking. A baseboard (where wall and floor meet) is an example of cove molding.

Thats bloody skirting board, jees, can't you lot learn English

[ThisOldHouse]

^ different strokes... different folks! Regardless... IMHO the black "trim" adds a nice touch in that condo.

[johpam]

DD is that appartment finished? I would love to see the finished product.
Cheers

[dirtydog]

Yeah it's finished, don't think he does tours of his condo though
