Went to collect the kitchen light we bought yesterday. Look expensive but it is not! thick acrylic diffuser. simple and homogenous look, doesn't fight for attention with the rest of the items. we love it at first sight! :dribble:

Today when I visited our place in the afternoon, I was greeted by these :sport-smiley-004:

Finally they started to install the sliding door and toilet screen doors.

When they were installing the kitchen door, and drilling the guide to the floor, my heart skipped cos they cracked the edge of the tiles. Only a small bit can be visible after the guide is in placed but I still feel it is an eye sore. Messaged my contractor and told him to do something about it.

One thing we find it weird is why the rail need to extend out so much beyond the length of the door after it is opened. We also informed the contractor that we wanted the door to slide and flush with the wall when opened. This is to get the full width opening of the kitchen and to avoid slamming onto the door accidentally.

Only managed to capture the photos of our common toilet. Will post more photos next time of the master toilet after the ceiling lights are up.
