Alternatively, you can opt for wooden-motif tile to replicate the look for lower budget and easier maintenance.
Adding More Space to the Original Bali Real Estate
This goes beyond merely expanding the property with an addition. It could also entail finishing a basement or unfinished attic to increase the amount of living space on the property. Another option would be to convert an adjacent garage into more living space.
A Complete Renovation to the Old Bali Real Estate
