Saw the birds lights on taobao too! Care to share ur links?

Where'd u go to get kitchen n bathroom stuff?

The one I got is 2.6. Its longer than the usual ones n made in china. The other ones I saw were more normal sized n had 3d effect. But comes from some europe country n cost 4.5

Starting to think about the wood/textile texture laminates: Brazilian walnut for shoe & storage cabinet, for contrast with very pale beige living room flooring. Love that the laminate comes with thicker strips of dark & light brown: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Lighter brown shades for kitchen cupboard laminates, contrast with dark brown kitchen flooring, and probably white/cream solid countertops: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Looking at the whitish laminates for room wardrobe, against dark brown wood tiles in the room: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Very pretty white rooms & classy black kitchen! I've more or less selected my tiles too, realised most of the flooring is dark (rooms, toilets n kitchen), this means I probably can only take lighter coloured cabinet laminates. Share your laminates selection when you've decided, I'm excitied for u too!

Very pale beige for Living/Dining/DryKitchen/Corridor to rooms. Dark brown wood grain tiles for the bedrooms. Grey scheme for master toilet (light grey walls with strip of silver/black granite/glass/frost mosiac, very dark grey floor with shiny specks) . Brown scheme for common toilet (2 tone beige & brown tiles with faint lines for walls, dark brown flooring with shiny specks) : Uploaded with ImageShack.us White long subway wall tiles for kitchen, Dark brown leather like kitchen floor tiles, stone like greyish/brown tiles for service yard: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Is there too much dark coloured flooring?

Good taste! Those were the few laminates I shortlisted from the laminates book too

So which wardrobe laminates did you choose in the end? I sort of decided on wood tiles for the rooms too... and thinking what wardrobe laminates to choose.. n also whether the wood tile is too dark..

Had a fruitful session at Hafary today! 1st selection of tiles Noticed that many tiles were on low stock or sold out. My contractor doesn't do dry laying of tiles... is that normal? Also, between different floor tiles, she will be laying a strip of either copper or metal coloured strip.. to join jup the 2 different flooring... is that normal? or should the 2 different flooring jus meet? Dont know if the wood tiles chosen for the rooms will restrict the laminate colours of wardrobes or any wood furniture. Or whether the wood colour is too dark...

Nice furniture!

Same for me, wedding n house together, enjoy the journey!!

Looks like reno will come to 47k, with some buffer for VO... 50! looks like really no budget for aircon in living room..

Which contractor did u get in the end?

Shate lnk of taobao light? Thanks!

Almost finalised with the contractor. Hope its the right choice! Now moving onto colour schemes, design & placement..

Hows the quality of the taobao lights? All are dimmable lights?

Can share your contacts with me too?

No time yet! Looks like the earliest I can go look at tiles is in 2 weeks time.. Hope to finalise a contractor by then already..

Oh dear all these are moving alan down in my selection ranking..

Ooh didnt see wood tiles at this price at hafary, only saw 4+. Will check it out again, thanks babe!

Hm.. does it seem like alan is taking on too many jobs to oversee each one properly?

Mind sharing where you got the power track from? thanks!

How to check that my light bulbs are dimmer bulbs? Want to have some of the lighting in my house be able to be dimmed, duno whether Taobao lights can give that or not.. hm..

Anyone heard of Xenon lighting?
