  5. Us went on weekdays but end up never buy lah. Gave up on the idea. heee...I even find the downlights above the tv glaring so may be switching them off when watching tv prog.
  6. Albert, maybe this works on the same principle as car polishing. Less is more. Cannot put a lot.
  7. Hi valerie, we didnt do the floor for living room and rooms cos we wanna keep cost low. That's why even before we got a contractor, we decided we want white furnishings as far as possible to make the place bright.
  8. hey albert! thanks a lot! I am looking forward to seeing your blog. no need mention of names if sensitive. i wanna see great ideas around here!
  9. hahhaa....maybe i strike Toto leh...then can shift house again.
  10. Hello footprint I also dont know what happened. When we first saw the completed carpentry (and punggolfamily happened to drop by as well), he mentioned the carpentry is not up to his standard as well. So I left it to him to re-check and rectify but I feel the follow-up isn't tight. I think next time when we use contractor, we also have to check if he needs to be away and how long. I spoke to the carpenter on the rectification to do. I forgot to mention. I am happy he was able to cancel the original window job which cost 2-3k. With that, I added L box and additional electrical jobs. So now i am waiting for him to finalize the accounts.
  11. Hi Pirvan, we havent move in yet. Waiting for the date. But thanks very much
  12. sorry...dont know worr..hhahhaa.....wait i check with my contractor.
  13. I suggest you try Sim Lim Tower to check out the track lights as well. I think it's on the upper floors.
  14. Hi Valerie, my contractor suggested I use track lights for living room instead of the conventional lights. Which I told was a good idea. So I went searching for track lights. I realized they arent cheap, especially those with LED bulbs. I also discovered that the track lights wont be able to light up the whole living room unless I get a lot and the lights are very glaring to the eyes. So I gave up track lights and went to using L box with downlights. The L box cost me 380 and downlights (2x18w ea) which I got very cheap from JB. My opinion lah hor.
  15. White makes the place brighter lor. But maintenance part I don't know yet.
  16. Heap, good to own your own place where you are restricted by $$ only
  17. Serious not? I haven't move in yet though. Waiting for the date. Then weekend stuck with orientation for the little ones.
  18. We have come to almost an end to our renovation. There are some minor accessories to install and the tile to replace. The renovation journey has not been exactly easy. The initial phase of knowing what we want (the look and feel) to choosing the contractor to choosing the tiles. It was during the tiling phase where we have some differences with the contractor, then the rectification and carpentry as well. I also think it is because he is handling quite a number of projects as well as having to go for reservist. I find the most lacking is communication. The experience should be better if it is done well. This doesnt mean the contractor is no good. He did installation of accessories (other areas out of kitchen and toilets) foc for us. Generally, he did manage the time schedule well as we are well ahead of the original schedule. The overall package price he gave us is also reasonable. I would also like to thank all my supporters here, thank my partner, my parents, my contractor, my pets, my teachers...etc. lol!! This is not the end!!! I will still come back to post and kapoh lots!! Most none zen of me.
  19. Simple dressing table Kitchen we like the outside view from the living room
