    Thank you all for the compliments!

    The hanging lights (2 in the living hall/dining; 1 in the MBR) are ordered from a shop along Jln Besar in the direction of town. Can't remember the details (street names etc) as my husband and I were so excited we began the sourcing process when the land was still barren (back in 2007!).

    The hanging light in my son's room (silver/grey colour) is from Lighting Ctr (Balestier Plaza). I find their prices consistent and the services beyond reproach. Jimmy is the gentleman to look for. He was very willingly to switch my earlier orders ($20k plus) for other products when he knew the finalised design of my home has changed. Every other lights in the house were supplied by them.

    The whole reno process took alittle less than 3 months. We gave the ID (which has a license to do contractor work) ample time to produce the required specs as we were not in a hurry to shift. ID fees + costs of the construction work is just shy of 130k. Non-fixtures are separate costings, so are the electrical appliances and lightings etc.

    We considered ourselves very blessed to meet very helpful/resourceful and honest people that made everything a reality. Feel free to contact me should you wish to have a look; my husband and I love guests and it'd be our pleasure to give you (and your spouse) a tour of our place. Cheers!

    There is supposed to be the bed valance which hasn't arrive yet. Will be changing the bed sheet next week maybe will upload to share how the colour and patterns of bed-fittings will drastically alter the mood of the room. The softest cotton in my opinion for bed-fittings are from Cavelli.

    For this kind of concept to work successfully, (even more) careful plannings are required to avoid costly alterations. It would be much easier if the home owners starts fresh without the need to carry over existing furnitures into the new home. 99.9% of the things at home were bought new so we could make sure every little item matches rather than clashes with the panellings/wallpapers etc.

    There is no TV in the living hall. We have decided at a very early stage to make the living hall a place to fellowship with each other rather than having our eyes glued to the screen (if we don't watch TV at restaurants, why do we watch TV when we are having our meals at home?). The design also does not accomodate a big flat-panel TV easily so we will have a dedicated room for projection screen.

    We do have ceiling-mounted speakers mostly to create ambient music for the different occassions throughout a calendar year.
