Oh different ar? Tot it's the same. Oops!! Just realised that our MBR and Study's lights are also cool white. I may change the MBR's to warm white as well. But for study, will retain the original light color cos need a brighter area to work with. The T5 on top of wardrobe are also warm white. I think you need to ask yourself what you are going to use each room for and what is the mood you wanna set for each area. For me, I need a brighter light for the study so that I could do my work properly and won't feel sleepy. hehehe Thanks again for your compliments!

Thanks lannywin! I love the PH5 but it gave us a little problem cos it looks crooked when not fixed properly. We finally got it done... I guess that's becos the top part that holds the rest of the lamp, the "blades" like not long enough. I guess replicas are not done as well as the real thing. Love its glow though! Anyways I was also thinking the same way as you abt the segregation part. Don't think we will switch on ALL three at a go right? Actually I tot I chose warm white... cos it was stated on the receipt w/w. Sigh... my fault for not checking properly. I have to live with it for 4 years or until the day it blows. hahaha

Hi Paloma, can you tell me what Home Cleanz did at your place? Is there a standard package? Am interested in engaging them.

Hi Paloma and ursuladeux, did you guys use the cleaning coy recommended? Worth using? How do they charge? Pls advice. TIA! =D

While baby was dozing off, we decided to drop by our new place to check out how the lights will look like in the night. ALL LIGHTS @ LIVING + DINING + KITCHEN This is a love / hate picture. Check out the kitchen sink counter lights. The colour is different from my dining and living area. I chose the wrong colour!! I only realised this mistake after the lights were up! In my earlier post about my lights selection, I mentioned that I chose the extreme right... but after thinking about it... I actually chose the centre one. Sigh... It was made worst as it is LED which means I can't even change the bulb... If I want to change, the whole thing must go. That is my $90 mistake! Does it look weird? Pls give me your opinions. DINING LIGHT Really love the glow from this light. My favourite of them all. Not to mention, the most expensive of them all. WALKWAY :: PARQUET SIDE Will show the rest of the lights in a later post! Nite!

Hi Neighbour, I wanted to paint my main door white too but yet to discuss with my CFO! I also wanted to paint the gate! Wonders if my contractor can do for me. Shall discuss with CFO first!

thanks princessandhergeek! yes... Just saw ur T-blog. High-five! Our layout is the same but in the mirror image! =D

Hi MamaO, we got this from Hoe Kee as well... it is a set... abt $300+. According to the sales lady, it is made of PVC. But our contractor said that it is actually plywood or cardboard inside so it may not last a long time.

Hi barcadibreezer, we got the sink from Hoe Kee... thinks it cost us $400+. And yes, solid surface. I think it matches 100% though the two are made of two different materials. Thank God everything matched!

Here's how our kitchen countertop looks like with our hob, hood and Blanco Metra 9 sink! The original plan was to do a build-in sink in the colour of our countertop but we decided not to spend so much $$ on it so that we could use the $$ elsewhere. Am so glad to find this sink in the colour which matches our counter top! And it costs a third of the price of a build-in! Even his uncle commented that our sink is nice! There is a single flaw in the kitchen area though. There is no HOT water!! And we bought a mixer which costed us $100+! What to do? We didn't check with our contractor beforehand if the hot water was available to the kitchen area. So people, if you want hot water in your kitchen, remember to ask your contractor first!

Does Hommage have any wooden dining chairs? Am looking for suitable wooden chairs for our dining table.

Hi, you have a nice storage rack. May I know what is the size of your HS, did the L-shape fit in perfectly and how much did you pay for the rack? My HS is 1.65 by 1.65. I wonder if they have this size as it wasn't listed on their website.

Hi, I saw it on https://www.facebook.com/oddyssey.sg... u might want to check it out. Under the Musical Chairs 排排坐 album.

Hi, the pocket door is running on aluminum trackings. Am not sure if it is a plywood door but it feels quite solid and heavy... let me check with my contractor when he returns from hols this week. I guess it shouldn't be a problem since our uncle recommended it as toilet door. =D

Our new place is really a maze! We were out there checking the lights installation and we couldn't find each other when we were at two different points... with Ken was @ the living area while I, was @ the MBR toilet area. As we were blocked by the fridge cum TV console area, we could hear but could not see each other. When I walked to the parquet walkway, he walked to the tiled side. When he walked to the parquet side, I was at the tiled side. It was like the scene in the hindi movie whereby the main leads were dancing round the tree. Anyways, we were very happy with our buys! Here they are... LIVING + DINING + SINK COUNTER Don't know why my electrician put a piece of newspaper on my dining area light. When we removed the newspaper, we found that the plastic covering one of the shade is slightly torn. Not a big problem cos the plastic could be remove. Am so glad our eletrician is so nice to help us to protect it with newspapers. But... when we looked from afar, we found that the lamp shade looked crooked. Drove all the way to the shop we bought the light from and asked them. Turned out that it is not a big issue... just need to fix it properly. Yet to get it done. Hope it can be fixed! It better be cos this is the most expensive light in our home! MBR + STUDY BABY'S ROOM Love the sweet colours on this light. When we showed baby this light, she was so happy to see it! TOILET + BOMB SHELTER These lights are actually the same... just that they are different in size. SERVICE YARD The previous one we bought was too thin and will not be able to cover the hole on the ceiling so we went to the shop to exchange for this one. We had to pay more $ to get this one.

Hi, I am looking for a push and a pull decal to put on my frosted glass door. Has anyone come across such decal before? Pls let me know. Thank you! =D

Hi, I think I saw a clear one at Ikea. I also bought a shower curtain from there.

As we do not have any plans to install ceiling fans, the only way to go is install aircon in all our rooms, including the open kitchen and living area. After speaking to the people in Courts, we were informed that most single unit compressors in the market do not have enough power to cool a large area like ours and the only brand with a suitable single unit compressor is Fujitsu. Looking at the Fujitsu aircon units on display at Courts, my comment to Ken was, "I don't like the look of the aircon units... looks very hard to clean." So we left our aircon search at that. A week later, Ken told me that he saw two brand new Fujitsu models and he likes the looks of one alot and thinks it will work for our new home. After seeing the picture online, I concurred with him. Thus, during the weekend, we went all the way to AMK Hub as they were having a roadshow. The sales lady showed us how this unit works by switching on the demo unit. The flap which was suppose to open upwards did not open and seem to be stuck. She explained that it was due to customers trying to ply it open to see how it looks like on the inside. After speaking to the sales lady and saw how it works, we decided not to get this one as we were worried that the flap which opens upwards will spoil easily. Thus, we ended up buying this other model, on the safe side. As of now, they are already in our home, with a happily ever after, hopefully!

Yup, that's a good idea. Anyways I heard that the ppl in my estate dun really use their dining table much aso. Only when their relatives and frens are over.

Yah, that's y we put it off till recently. Perhaps u wanna visit their new showroom at No. 1 Genting Lane, that's where we bought the table from. Maybe promotion still on. The table was $699 & $899 respectively, w/o GST.

Yup, she's the winner alrite! hehe For the 1.5 m, we were quoted $1050. The larger one was $1100 if I remember correctly. Can't remember if the price was inclusive of GST or not.

We spent 3 weekends searching for our potential dining table. After one big round of hunting and short-listing a few potentials, we finally bought our dining table! Here are the potential ones and the chosen one. 01. Mr Bjursta [ Ikea ] Length: 180 cm Min. length: 140 cm Max. length: 220 cm Ken likes this as it is simple and nice. With its pull-out leaves, it is able to accommodate up to 8 persons. The pull-out leaves can be stored under the table top when not in use, making it a mere 140 cm at its shortest length. 02. Mr Norden [ Ikea ] Length: 89 cm Min. length: 26 cm Max. length: 152 cm I like this due to its ability to be stowed away at a mere 26 cm next to the wall. It can seat up to a maximum number of 4 people and has 6 convenient drawers under the table top for storing cutlery, table napkins, candles, etc. Talk about space saving! This is it! 03. Ms Isabelline [ FC Homes ] We first saw this at the IFC outlet about a month back. It was a nice piece but we decided to KIV it as we have yet to see other furniture shops, and dining table wasn't on the top of our list as yet. With the chapter on our sofa closed, we chanced upon it once again recently and decided to get it as the sales person was able to give us a good price for it. Yippee!! Isn't she a beauty?

Ah... ok. My dining area is not very big... so I guess it should work somehow... so long as I can see what goes inside my mouth will do. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! Just wanna make sure we can still see what we put into our mouths during dining time. hehe

We were looking at this set for our study too! We needed two tables and two shelves and some other stuff. After some math, we decided to do build-ins as cost would amount to slightly more than the total from Ikea.
