Sorry, but are you planning to live in the house with these people/friends?

Good morning helpers/professionals/advisors,

I wish to paint the interior white but people/friends are discouraging me against brilliant/pure white. They are suggesting I should use off white. So that the pop and wall won't be pure white all through.

I personally want white, please is there a off white color that still looks like white. I want a beautiful white for the walls please. I need suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

I suggest you use what you personally want and that is 'white paint'.

Your POP and wall can be pure white all through,then you get your contrast from a dark curtain and upholstery.

My advise is for you to pick up some interior design magazines and pick what tickles your fancy.

You can also pay a competent home decor to help interpret your imagination.

There's nothing wrong with white interior as long as you don't have children that are very young at home.

Like someone above said, the content of your home can be of different color to complement the white.

You will live there sir, so do you!

simple!! Don't underrate others to make yourself feel good or make a point. If you have money and you feel it's your hardwork that gave you that money then keep to yourself.

I really won't want to comment further on this because i might end up questioning your intellectual capacity.

There's a process to everything, a baby must crawl before trying to walk and must perfect walking before trying to Run. This is a process, but what will happen when a day old baby should attempt walking/running


We are not against the youth being successful so far they do not ignore or negate the proper PROCESS! but this is a generation, a generation where a young boy of 15years (that should still be in school or preparing for WAEC) is already attempting to buy VENZA and build duplex? I can go on and on and on. But let's keep finding excuses to back up the moral decadence, moral bankruptcy in the society! E GO REACH EVERYBODY LAS LAS!

WE WILL SOON START WITNESSING PRIMARY SCHOOL KIDS (that are still under their parents) DOING YAHOO AND ATTEMPTING RITUALS. LET'S BLAME THE GOVERNMENT THEN TOO.

My wife showed me a massive dinning with six seaters as her preferred choice since her friend got same last year in trade fair. I just laughed within me and kept quiet. What you posted is what I am getting but rounded in shape instead of rectangular with four chairs.

I want a home that radiates tranquility and space. We sold most of our furniture to get new ones because of the new house. Reaching a compromise on the design of furniture to get has always been our problem because of individual taste.

For living room this are examples of what I've been searching for. However Nigerian Carpenters have gone lazy and prefer to make all these easy to manufacture Babalawo huge sofas instead.

Good afternoon all, I was just about to buy a furniture I saw on Jumia before I saw the post of 'what you see vs what you get'.

I never knew that the foreign pictures they use in advertising furnitures are not exactly what is in stock.

The question is: 'Where can I buy furniture's that are exactly the pictures displayed as advertized?'.

Thank you.

White to me is a senior colour and the look is always cool and mature. However, your kids must have been off age if not, be ready to repaint often especially parlour and passages.

Pls Sir what would you say about inverter power saving ACs (1.5-2hp)? Which brand is the most reliable for the home? And will you advise individual wall stabilizers or there is a central stabilizer one can install to make sure he has the right voltage for all electronics?

When you’re investing in a new construction, you’re usually putting your money down without seeing the house or apartment in person. You’re paying for a vision and unfortunately, many people have been cheated and sold homes with a smaller carpet size, etc. Not everyone understands the difference between carpet area and built up area or super built up area and this was something many developers took advantage of. One of the most visible RERA effect on real estatehas been the result of legislating a need for all projects to be registered. Ant real estate project with more than 8 apartments or a development area exceeding 500 sq mts must be registered with all details such as carpet size, promoter details, land status, completion schedule, etc. As a result, there’s a much lower risk now of being cheated of your investment. If you pay for a 800 sq ft 2 BHK in a RERA approved project, the developer must hand over the same to you within the stipulated time.

I bought HiSense but haven't really used it more than a few hours. The LG that I have has been working almost daily for 3 years with zero issues.

Just make sure that it's installed correctly. Some "Engineers" don't like to use levels and trust their Trophy beer induced eyes too make judgement.

I have three individual ones right now but I am opting for a household one soon. I forgot the brand but will post again when I remember.

The brand is Prag. Check out there website.

In hospice setting (people that are dying) the most common things they say is they wish they could have done this or done that.

Even if you have children, Gbadexy here an set you up with quality white paint in specific areas that can be cleaned.

We just have a disastrous maintenance culture in Nigeria. House painting/touch ups are part of a routine home maintenance item.

is kind of sad that we ourselves who should come together to criticize the govt we are making the govt plan of dividing us to work for them. This is exactly what the govt want, to put suffering into the youths then make them blame each other. In my area for 2weeks now no light, since a week now fuel scarcity. My younger bro was showing me something about making money on TikTok very brilliant idea but how can that happen if no electricity to even power your phone, and yet one is saying the youths can't work. Prior to buhari rigime things wasn't this bad. I know some youths then who swon never to do fraud but this buhari rigime pushed them into something worse than fraud.
Now we have 15-17 yo killing girls for rituals, see what hardship has pushed the youths into. The other day one was caught and he said he sold human head for 7k , only 7k! Killing someone for 7k and doing a 30k job which is easier? You know this prop section is filled with some men kind men who never go under the sun for anything. Talking about proverty here even come as shock to some here because they were from a rich background.

The hardest yoke to break is proverty. If u hear someone say his family is poor and he broke the chain by himself it's pure lie. Proverty takes generations to break from.

May we not find ourselves in situations where we feel we have no other choice than crime.

You can use part mesh wire and sandcrete blocks for the partitioning. This will serve as screens/ windows/ extractors instead of the sheets for ventilation and illumination..
