d2wntan 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 Hi there, Care to share where you got your pendant lights?Is it blown glass?Not sure if it is blown glass.. but we got it in Msia (Perak) when we were there at my MIL's place. Pic above shows the ideal of it. just that the one we bought as an additional glass enclosure surrounding each of the pendant... (Will post it once installed)I think lighting.com.sg (Balestier Outlet) has some of the identical range on their 2nd Sty showroom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d2wntan 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 It's been a while since my last update... Been busy with the wedding affairs and of course work & the renovations thus didn't have much time and energy left to update the blog..Nonetheless, will take off from the time I last blogged.Box up of ugly air con trunking I personally hated seeing ugly air on trunking all over my walls, etc. After the air con installation, it's inevitable that i am all uncomfortable seeing those fat fat trunkings... So I pestered my ID to add on box up to wherever possible so as to conceal whatever he can....Example of the box up he did at the service yardJust need a little more touching up with the plastering and painting...

NOTE: NEVER BUY FROM CHOONG YING. THEY ARE A BUNCH OF LIARS AND IRRESPONSIBLE MERCHANTS. OUR NEIGHBOURS AND OURSELVES HAVE A TASTE OF THEIR POOR SERVICE (DELIVERING DISPLAY SETS AS NEW ONES, PRODUCTS ARE DEFECTIVE YET THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO EXCHANGE). FOR US, WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT FROM THEM, THEY SAID IF THERE'S ANY PROB WE CAN GO BACK TO THEM. BUT WHEN WE WERE COLLECTING, THE HUB RE-CONFIRM THIS WITH THE SALES PERSON BUT WE WERE SHOCKED THAT THEY SAY "THIS IS DIRECT FROM AGENT. ANY PROBLEM, GO TO AGENT"07 February 2012 - Hole cutting in the false ceiling for downlights installationActually we were informed by the electrican that the lights will be installed. So after work, the Hub & I went straight down only to see that only the holes were cut.. no lights installed.. sianz lor Edited February 28, 2012 by d2wntan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(HDB's design came with a small (12mm) niche on their walls due to the different thickness of columns and walls). ID got it done pretty quickly (a few days after we informed him of our intention) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d2wntan 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2012 21 February 2012 - Carpentry Works commencesSomehow, I was really waiting for the carpentry works to start.. Cos once this is completed, it would mean that the majority of my renovation is also completed, which in turn means that the house is really nearing completion! After discussing with our ID and carpenter on the configuration of the shelving and finalizing the materials / laminates for the cabinet and wardrobes barely a week ago, am surprised to received pictorial updates by our ID showing the commencement of the carpentry works..Am so excited that I headed down after work to see how things are!

d2wntan 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2012 [Cont'd]Most of the carpentry carcass are completed.. As the carpenters are still around, I didn't take any pics.. but we did note down some amendments that we wanted the ID to do... E.g. The MBR's vanity was in our opinion, too low.. As the Hub & I are quite tall, we requested to have the vanity raised by another 100mm...22 February 2012 - Completed Carpentry WorksTV Console (we did a cupboard instead of hanging it below the TV)Centre piece of the door is done differently as we need it to be able to receive the signals sent from the DVD/SCV/PS3 remote controls... Nicely done! I like~ Our Mini Shoe CabinetWe placed our shoe cabinet here for 2 main reasons:-1. Hide the ugly distribution box & SCV box2. That's the only location we find suitableNoticed the longish "hole" on the bottom left? That's where we are going to hang our umbrellas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
