  1. Hi everyone, Still waiting for my time to go for lunch. Quite surprised to see so many people ask for lighting and ID contact. Spoke to my colleagues and realised that recently got a lot of home owners getting their keys. **no wonder** Just recalled a conversation with my colleague this morning when she complained about a shop in Balestier road (cannot put name, cos going to say abt their service). She went down to order the light fixture and then the shop tell her to collect in two business days as they need to go warehouse collect. then, when she collected, she saw a quite obvious crack on the shade. I mean "small defects" sure have la, but hers was like a 3cm long one, how to ignore. And the shop assistant keep insisting "on" light then ok liao. Ask for rebate, also must go another shop to ask boss. Worse is they ask her to go again tomorrow so that they can call the warehouse to bring two more shades for her to choose. But cannot guarantee no defects. i didnt mean to intentionally keep the names of my ID and the url from you all. Hope you guys understand. But heard many bad cases about lighting shop in SG, so think i just post it to provide alternate source of info for you guys. www.facebook.com/de.lighthouse. In the page they talk about their business and service la. So far, i am happy with the products. Service was done by my ID. Also, i checked with my ID fren and she is ok for me to give her email to people. She has HDB registered contractor with pretty good workmanship i must say. yuzonice@gmail.com Enjoy the journey peeps.
  2. Its ok babe. He saw me so enthu sharing that day, made a small complain nia. I like your home design. Look forward to see yours online.
  3. hey jiawen hows ur reno going? done liao? hmm, I don't think I will post any more pics liao. that time I was so enthu and stick a picture of our ceiling light in living room. my hubby complains liao. haha.
  4. Bready, do it once only. I think its good to first of all discuss the theme you want with the person who will be staying with you. Go to pinterest or google ID to get some inspirations. then you can talk to your ID people. I made a few selections initially, those big companies. But I can somewhat sense that the people not very sincere, just want business and money. Don't really listen to what you want. my friend did listen to me, a very friendly lady and im very happy with the outcome. and best of all, she coordinated everything for me (not sure if its her service or because im her friend) haha. I PMed you already. Its not as hard as you think.
  5. Hi Jimtong, Cos I don't want people to think im advertising for it lo.
  6. Hi people, I just PM-ed you. Just a quick check, does anyone have any contact on part-time maid?
  7. Yes jiawen, I have a wardrobe. So no choice got to make do with a queen size.
  8. Hello Jiawen, I see that you are going to put a King Size bed in the master bedroom. Did u "hack" the wall between bedroom 2 and master bedroom? U may need to take note of the walking space left. I wanted to put a king size bed too but I was only left with a 400mm walking space on each side!
  9. hehe, hope this is useful. btw the shop I bought my lights from are offering free design consultation. you may want to make use of it. =)
  10. Hi fellow RT, just like to share my experience on Lightcraft. Despite many people say its good, my experience was otherwise. The salesperson insisted that they don't do a start up check for me. He told me that if anything wrong, can bring back and change. But I stay in Punggol! And bad enough, one of the ballasts was damaged. Luckily my contractor changes for me. Save the trouble. I was introduced by my designer an online shop selling lights. The not good thing is that there is no showroom, but then again, that's why they sell at more attractive prices. With the assurance from my designer, I purchased 2 sets of lightings from them. Both save me in total ~300SGD. They did QC and whatapp me the pics and deliver on time. The quality was good, would say its the same as those balestier shops out there but costs lesser. PM me if any of you is interested, don't wish to be seen as advertising for the shop.
  11. Hey, It took me quite a while to figure out how to upload pic. Here it goes, hopefully it works: (Test test)
  12. Hi jiawen, was reading ur post. i got really good deals at Cellini during their end of yr sale last year. 400 for a table with 4 chairs and a beanie couch..think they have sale in june too. And i love sealy beds... As for chandelier, i got the circular hollow LED light. quite easy to clean. was deciding between the crystal type but happen to see in one of the showrooms got dust..haha.and yea,really difficult to clean.cannot imagine.
  13. Now that finally my house is fully renovated, I can share my reno experience with many newlywed couples out there. To begin with, my house in Punggol is really small and doesnt seem to tally with the price i paid! Lighting Shopping Like many folks, I went to Balestier Rd and Jalan Sultan to shop for my lightings, and o yes, even JB. JB has slightly cheaper lighting but limited designs. There is a whole array of lighting, ranging from traditional no-design lights to designer lightings in Balestier and JS. But I would say the prices there are really steep. Thankfully, my designer friend recommended me a local online shop selling very beautiful lights. But the only bad thing is that I dont get to see the physical product myself. However, I was assured by my designer friend that the online shop sells exactly the same products as some of the shops along Balestier and the quality is not bad. The prices they offered are really much cheaper than the shops in Balestier, about 50-300 bucks less for same lighting! But, the online shop does not have many choices on ceiling lights. In the end, I got 2 lightings from the online shop and 3 ceiling lights from the shop in JS. Service. The shop in JS is big. But I feel it lacks of quality service. The shop salesperson refused to test the lights for me on the spot but told me that I could bring in to change if the lighting cannot work. On the day of installation, my contractor found that one of the ballasts was not working. Luckily, my kind contractor changed the ballast for me FOC, otherwise, I have to carry it back to get it repaired and carry back again! On the other hand, the online shop person assured me the day prior to delivery that all my lightings are working via pictures on whatapps. The quality of the products is good and I am thankful that I didnt get chopped by the bloodsuckers in Balestier! ID Firms Many ID firms are expensive especially those that advertise a lot. Personally, I find that the interior design of a home has to be thoroughly discussed with the contractor/designer. I heard some generalise the scope of work and demand for more money after work. So please be kiasu and be more specific with the scope. I am fortunate to have my close friend as a designer and we have many discussions together. Through her, I was able to get cheaper renovation works as compared to other ID firms (apparently she has her own contractors!). She knows exactly what I want and I am very satisfied with the job. All the best, home owners!
