We went to Arco Holdings at Jalan Besar for lightings. Derrick brought us there. We were attended by a Malaysian staff and his service is good and not pushy. We needed 20 down lights, 1 guest room light and 2 toilet lights. The price came to $900.

Much time was spent on deciding dining light. We were pondering over expensive Swarovski crystal lights ($890 onwards) or standard ones ($280 onwards). We saw one beautiful Swarovski crystal lights ($1378 after discount) and was thinking so hard to buy it or not. Finally we resisted the temptation and to KIV this item.

Today I researched a little and felt that crystal dining lights can be difficult to maintain and surely blow our budget away. What you guys think?

Wall between rooms is gone to make way for wardrobe

Cement applied on 23/5

There was some design issues with the living/kitchen partition. Initially we planned to extend the living area by one foot, but Derrick realized there is a central beam of one foot height cutting across, he advised us to keep to the initial partition so that the glass wall could be built along the beam. However, I want to reduce the kitchen area so that living room is more spacious. He finally gave me this requirement and suggested building a false ceiling of 2 feet length from the beam to the glass wall.

Love the unblocked light from kitchen windows

Tiles were delivered, so is my 40% payment gone
