    I agree. I believe a home should look and feel like a home and not picture perfect like a showflat.

    The white Blanco sink is a beauty! Any maintenance issues so far?

    I will let u know cos i hv not started using it. the whiteness is a beauty.

    tk u, i am into details and hv spent some time on how my house should complement my living. that is the whole idea. I think a house should be liveable and not just presentable.

    Hey Astarz! Hope u'll post pics of the current live-in condition with furnitures in place. I like how much thought u've put into ur reno and those little tips in the pictures!

    Thanks, Astarz. We did not think of that aspect. As with most other reno matters, we just whacked blindly like a true blue noob. LOL. Now that we know, we may choose to install the rails above the highest row of tiles (no top cabinets). Hopefully it won't be too high of a reach. :sport-smiley-003: Or perhaps we could look into alternatives.

    Your place is lookin' good. Almost selected your wall tiles for our kitchen tiles. Any new issues with Alan? Or all's good for now?

    basically my unit is complete, 100% done. and i am v thankful all is over, reno is an intensely stressful process for all involved, sweat, blood, heat, angst, frustration, mistakes, etc.

    As i said there r hits and misses, i just didn't post or report those cos they have been fixed. but oh well, all is over and I can genuinely say I like the result of my reno. nothing is perfect. i am sure there r some minor glitches. Alan will rectify, give him some time and space.

    to add on, pendent lamp with LED bulb NOT hot...very good, can buy la.

    Hi friends, how many of you are using track lights in the kitchen? Do you think it was a good choice?

    We will be having a C-shaped kitchen counter, which includes a small breakfast counter. The original plan was to have a pendant light above the breakfast counter, and a regular Philips light on the ceiling. Someone has suggested that we use track lights instead (1 track), so I thought I should sound out some of you here first.

    Thanks!

    the thing abt tracklights is they can be expensive, first u pay for the track and then the head lights. depending on how many heads u wan. if the head is spoilt, u discard the entire head. u cant change the bulb or fixture. unless u can buy a head where the bulb can be changed when spoilt. i use pendent lamp with LED bulb. If bulb spoilt, i will replace. the light fixture remains intact.

    yr white metro tiles are a classic beauty and I had every intention to use it in my Kitchen wall but later drop the idea. i was eyeing on the yellow ones. The problem is it is debossed around the perimeter which will make drilling and installing of rails, hooks, shelf etc difficult. That was my concern. Hope u guys factor that in. Good luck to yr reno.

    Have been working on the big picture n being v understanding n nice,, and not to mention being v pro active n communicative.... But sometimes patience runs thin n I hv to repeatedly reinstate and adjust my expectation. It is important to set a date of handing over if not all these ding dongs will drag u further. I believe in setting a date which both party can negotiate and then work towards. If date is unrealistic give and take but a date should be there as a guide to hv all work completed by then.
