And as for your Miele combo, nothing else needs to be said - sweet! Love that clean white washed walls and wood combo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleek 2 Report post Posted November 24, 2011 Woohooo... your renovation is progressing very well and faster than mine. Just completed the flooring yesterday and will be taking measurement for the carpentry works tomorrow Can't wait to see your finished product.Carpentry looks good, sleek! The miele washer and dryer got demo somemore.. Woohoo! Sleek, your home is nicely taking shape. You've also got some good purchases. I'm sure you'll love your Brandt buys. And as for your Miele combo, nothing else needs to be said - sweet! Love that clean white washed walls and wood combo.thank you ladies and gentlemen So far we are very pleased with the overall quality of the carpentry; eg how the boss spent alot of time with us discussing what we want and prefer while giving suitable suggestions and ideas, how they have matched the grains very well for those pieces that have obvious wood grains and workmanship of the different carpenters who do the installing to form the final cabinets.the irony is our current brandt washer died on us today so we will have to bring actual dirty laundry tomorrow for them to do the miele demo! haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleek 2 Report post Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) What to do about my living room cove lighting? There are 2 separate strips of rainbow LED and dont know why the white is different for each strip, the white for the right strip is bluish while the left is purplish. It is also very dim if we only turn on the cove lights as can be seen in the photo. Issit installation or user error, we made sure to press the white light button on the remote? Thus now I cant decide if i should just change them to T5 so that it is much brighter or stick with LED but get the the pure white strips Any ideas/ suggestions?

Hmmm.... if you get the pure white strips, you won't get to see the color change. Have to ask yourself, what's the main purpose of the cove lights - to add brightness to the living area or to use them as a 'talking point'.If you try them on a different color setting, would you still get two different tones of the same color? Not sure how LEDs work but could it be some loose wiring somewhere? I'm not sure if the two rows are from the same strip of lights or it's different strips. If same strip then probably installation error, if different strip, then factory error? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks schizoid, we decided to install the T5 and leave the LED so now we have both types of light I think the color difference is due to it being RGB from 2 different strips *shrug* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beluga 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 Hi sis sleek! Read through almost the whole thread here. Interesting to know that you found some friends here. I would certainly hope to find some here too. Sigh.... Can't tahan the whole process is sooooo slow....... If the purchase process goes smoothly, I will only get the key by mid to end feb. Need to move out by mid april. Seeing so many here takes months to complete the renovation really makes me worried as we only have about 6 to 8 weeks to renovate.

Need to move out by mid april. Seeing so many here takes months to complete the renovation really makes me worried as we only have about 6 to 8 weeks to renovate.Welcome and thanks for reading rt used to be a friendly and vibrant place to chit chat as well as discuss reno matters when I first joined but seems like not so much chit chat now you can come chit chat with me anytime and I on yours la. Hope you won't have to worry about your reno taking a long time and you can find a responsible and responsive person in charge. However you must be prepared that you may have to spend quite abit of time supervising and checking; be it ID or contractor, to ensure things will run smoothly and within your stipulated time frame. For us, we will be moving in tmrw as per feng shui and today after 8 weeks our reno is coming to an end soon as it is now rectification works and etc like kitchen counter top, kitchen doors.

I guess the vibrancy of this place is seasonal as most ppl will be most active when it's preparing and throughout the renovation period. Once it's done up, the frequency of visiting this place will drop. Though this will be our 3rd home, it will be one which I will spend most time and effort working on it as except for the marble flooring, everything has to redo.
