Hey adrianh4rt! THANKS SO MUCH for your kind comments!! I showed CFO your comment and she became so happy with herself!Wahaha.. I'm sorry it's out of stock now.. Hope they will restock them! Hmm.. For the track light wattage, it really depends on your house theme... I know of industrial themes where the home owner doesn't have any ceiling lights at all, and only use track lights for illumination! If that's what you might want, then you might need to go for a higher wattage for sufficient illumination. But of course it also depends on the level of 'brightness' that you want for your house.. CFO & I prefer a bright-white scandinavian theme, brightly lit by ceiling downlights (#CalvinTan recommended 10W).. So for us, the track lights just provide some accent lighting on the walls to accentuate photos/ pictures etc.... With that in mind, the track light wattage should probably be below the ceiling downlight wattage.. That's just my own way of determining the track light wattage & I'm sure there are different people who do it differently!! Hope I helped!

ARGHHHH SO BUSY... Packing your clothes/ files/ documents/ books/ mail for shifting over to your new place is really NO JOKE. (anyway it is quite a saddening experience also, feels like I'm leaving my parents behind lidat... but of course I wouldn't.. Just one of those emotionally-charged rite of passage in life I suppose..) Sorry for the tardy updates fellas.. I really am.. Been so overwhelmed with the nitty gritty things.. Like IKEA trips, sourcing of light bulbs, got stomach flu & did my best impressions of the Merlion over the weekend.. yada yada.. Won't bore you with more boring details. So now what? So let's go. #MINIFORMS SLOPE DINING LIGHTS UP! - First official splash of colour in the living/ dining area!! I love it. I really really love this effect.. Exactly what I imagined it to be... Together with my white ceiling beams... Omggggg.. Oooh do you see what I see at the back ground of the picture...? Which brings us to the next update... KITCHEN GLASS DOOR WOODEN VENEER-WRAP HANDLE INSTALLLED! - I love my one-of-a-kind door handle on my glass door!! The more I look at it the happier I feel... I think it really lends a boost to my living/ dining area scandinavian theme.. While also taking the 'modern-feel' out of a glass door... From this photo angle, you can see the groove where I will slot my fingers in when opening the door. MASTER WARDROBE LED STRIP LIGHTING IS UP! - Turned out better than I expected!! Didn't expect the illumination to be sufficient to light up the interior of the wardrobe to this extent~ Yeah! #CalvinTan recommended that we go for the #Hafele motion sensor, so the LED strip lighting only turns on when we open the door... It automatically closes when the door is closed.. Satisfied and I recommend others do the same too! Trying to open as many wardrobe doors to show my LED strip lighting Close up of LED strip lighting EXHAUST FANS FOR BATHROOMS ARE UP! - Nothing much about this other than the progress... Got 2x 8"-wide KDK exhaust fans & linked each one of them to the electrical switch for my main bathroom lights (as advised by #CalvinTan).. The result is that the exhaust fan will turn on once I turn on the bathroom light! (already checked on wattage of the exhaust fan, it's very low so no worries about wasting electricity or the bill sky-rocketing up) Also, used translucent acrylic as the backing for privacy.. Picture of installed exhaust fan in Common Bathroom And that's all for now! Will need to blitz through even more updates after this, so stay tuned for more folks!! Until then... SEE YA LATER ALLIGATOR. (I actually can't believe that that phrase just popped into my mind... Like, whyyy.)

Hello eveready! (Strange, I just bought eveready batteries for my doorbell 30 min ago. Oh well. Hahaha..) As for choice of white paint, we specifically told #CalvinTan that we wanted a 'whitish' white.. Not bluish white and definitely not warm white... I ever read someone else's blog where they mentioned that the contractor recommended a warmer white for their also-scandinavian-themed interior, and that fellow renotalker went ahead with it only to say that she regretted later towards the end of the reno... In my humble opinion, 'whitish' white is easier to match the colour palette too... #CalvinTan definitely used the same white paint for the wall, door & wall skirtings but let me check what is the exact brand/ name/ product code for you later before letting ya know! Glad to help! Hello koori & kissgurami! (kissgurami don't regret liao move on and enjoy all the other aspects of your reno!! stay positive!! ) KOORI! You must have spent so much time analysing my bathroom photo! Wahahaha really salute you for being so spot-on. You are right that the bathroom door is huge-donkey big. Like really BIG. Haha.. That reminds me of a remark that the #PoshHome tiler was telling me the other day.. He said that although the toilet was supposed to be built-to-be 'wheel-chair-friendly' (with ramp at toilet door), the toilet door is so bulky that you don't even really have space to do a 3-point turn in there.. Wahahaha.. Of course I know wheelchairs don't need to do '3-point-turns' but he was just trying to bring the point across ya? Honestly, if work hadn't been put in to paint our current bathroom doors white, it would've been extremely extremely possible that we would've changed the bathroom doors to some kind of bi-fold door... Possibly white with some kind of louver patterns!! But CFO & I haven't even found out how much is it yet.. *shrug* Also take note if you change the bathroom door into a bi-fold type, you can't mount hooks onto the back of the bi-fold door... But highly recommend changing the bathroom doors for space concerns! (if you have budget la hehe.)

(THE REST OF THE) MORE INTERESTING UPDATES TODAY!! Hahahahaha... #GRAFUNKT LIGHT GREY FABRIC SOFA ARRIVES! – YEAH! OUR COMFY #GRAFUNKT SOFA HAS ARRIVED! Woohoo! I tell you right, the other day CFO & I were so shagged from settling all the TaoBao purchases and we just sat down on the sofa for a short rest, right under our Elmark Aeronamics fan... Blowing blowing.. And before we both knew it, we were sleeping soundly liao! WAHAHAHA... Too comfortable already... Anyway the #Grafunkt delivery fellas had mixed up the order and delivered the walnut-coloured legs, which they promptly changed the next day.. The sofa delivery came a bit exposed & was not wrapped in plastic, so CFO & I jumped up and came to the rescue! Hahaha.. Look at the nice oak pencil legs contrast against the vinyl floor!! So happy with it.. Oh yeah, the sofa looked like it got into a fight with Spiderman & Spiderwoman right. WAHAHAHAHA. *laugh until collapse on the floor* FURNITURE ARRANGING SIMULATION! (FOR FUN!) – During the time period after most of our furniture have arrived, and before the spidey-interventions for our fabric sofa & before the walnut pencil legs were corrected... CFO & I got a bit cheeky & carried away. HEHE. We started to arrange our furniture around to get a better idea of the space & colour-combination we had in the living room! Took pictures from different angles for memories/ reference and here they are! Sorry my solid wood oak table is so messy. Hahaha.. And moving on to the last update for tonight.... *cue drum roll* DINING AREA CEILING BEAMS HAVE BEEN PAINTED WHITE!! – ALRIGHTEY THEN!! Finished plastering & painting for my beloved ceiling beams! WOOHOO!! :wub: #CalvinTan was telling us the other day, that if we had chosen to proceed with the veneer wrap for the ceiling beams, it would've looked even nicer... But then he said it would cost another SGD2,000 more. ERM. I think forget it la. Hahahaha... And here are my pearly babies!! That's all for tonight!! See ya'll again and enjoy your weekends fellas!! Wheeeeeee...

MORE INTERESTING UPDATES TODAY!! INTERNAL BEDROOM/ BATHROOM DOOR PAINTING – TA DA! All my internal bathroom & bedroom doors have been painted in immaculate matt white paint!! Looks super heavenly and LOOKS LIKE IT WAS A GOOD DECISION TO PAINT IT WHITE! The painter told me that they apparently painted 4 coats of paint from morning till night… Salute them for the hard work & the pride they put in.. Doors look so super nice in putih! (‘white’ in Bahasa Melayu) Now I need to start to seriously contemplate self-painting my MAIN DOOR in putih too.. Hmmm… Oh yes, you can see the lighting effect of the track lights installed at the room passageway.. Master bathroom toilet door (not shown in earlier picture) also painted white.. I think it offers a good contrast against the stony-greyish-finish of my Master Bathroom wall tiles… You will probably notice that the right-hand-side of the photo is the round beauty mirror that CFO & I bought.. Also from #*** Gallery.. Hehe.. #MUUTO COFFEE TABLE SET, DLM TABLE, #GRAFUNKT CIRCUS ARE HERE! - HAHAHAHA WOOHOO! CFO & I LOVE THE MINTY GREEN OF THE #GRAFUNKT CIRCUS!! WE LOVE the ash-coloured & light-grey #Muuto coffee tables!! WE LOVE the baby pink DLM table too!! AHHHHHH!! Love love LOVE!! :wub: Wahahahaha… #LIFESTORY 1.8M SOLID-WOOD OAK TABLE & #MINIFORMS SLOPE LIGHTS ARE HERE!! – Ecstatic about all these deliveries!! Can’t wait for my renovation to finish so I can display them nicely & see the whole house decoration take shape!!!! EXCITING!! Will post more pictures later tonight!! Stay Tuned! Yeah!
