Yan didn't like the Mongolian honed granite flooring that spans our ground floor. While some may called it the natural matte look, he said it looked dusty and dirty. So, we had it polished today to reveal a new semi-matte finish. I'm not certain (yet) if I like the new look. I had opted for honed granite for its zen effect. I wasn't very thrilled with the idea of polishing it, but went ahead nonetheless for practical reasons. Honed granite is harder to maintain because of its open pores. Even with the application of impregnator, stains can still penetrate its surface if left unattended. Polished granite is more compact and the application of sealant can therefore be more effective.

Our last piece of furniture just came in today. It's a 2.7m long oak veneer dining table, made by our carpenter to match the wishbone chairs. We suggested the design, which is inspired by the Madame Lillie table made by E15, a German company. I like the simplicity of its design.
We are targeting our move-in within days from now. It's just frantic!
