Can I ask how much did you paid for your lighting points in total? seems like u have a lot of lights..

Just purchasing of lights only is $1688 for the whole house include the LED spot lights, down lights of all rooms, toilets, kitchen walkway etc etc. I think its a reasonable price

The LED strips go by meters, forgot the price also but definitely less than $700.

To me lighting is very important, i want to create a visual illusion of a even bigger space but not with the expanse of having obvious huge lightings. Hence JW made a border cove ceiling which houses LED strips with larger beads to give that effect. The rest of the lights are rathered controlled and specifically must be small, strong, white and blend into the ceiling.

Living room LED spotlights are all 3 LED lights 9 watts, thus its small but strong only $26 each. We chose LED spotlights because JW advice that since the cove lights are so bright and floods the room so much, we need to have some spot lights to hit against the walls to create the cosy hotel mood feeling.

Bedroom LED downlights are LED lights at 9 watts, its 4 inch ones, smaller but bright. Its $40 each

Kitchen and Bathroom LED downlights are 9 watts, its 6 inch ones, larger size. Its $55

All lights are Samsumg brand, more brighter.

You have so many ideasss for your home. Not like me, not much ideas :dunno:

For the map, since you already have it, can try to put it up and see how it looks.

If not suitable just take it down :P

to own a home means can do anything we want i guess :sport-smiley-004:

Hello redmoonlight, i surf around and look at too many pictures. Sometimes i loose focus and ideas can be very chessy till my hubby can cringe and question my taste. I sometimes keep changing ideas till my dad feels like strangling me as he says i'm too irritating.

I have to be constantly reminded to stay focus and not move away from the theme much. From my hubby's decisions and my dad's input, they seem to lean more towards the masculine, strong, serious furniture style. They dun seem to be adventureous with colors :wacko:

Hi, care to advise where you r get your LED lights from?? i also thinking of fitting my house with LEDS but headache with the costs...

man always be man :rolleyes:

mixed of theme ideas can be nice, so long overall can blend well together i think.

i really dont have specific theme, most important is cozy and practical, also less cleaning if possible (lazy!!:P )

now still thinking if i should do cove light or not :unsure:

Been following your tblog these few days ..

My husband also always reject my ideas .. Sometimes really upset that we cannot achieve the wish list we want, and we were the one always surf Internet for more ideas .. Yet get rejected after done so many homeworks (¬_¬)

Well, my husband said he also will stay in the house so must get something he like .. Else he won't enjoy staying there ..

Some updates on the carpentery works. Everything seems good and nice.

The Cabinet at the kitchen

The cabinet to hide the ugly rubbish chute, there will be shelving above it to hide all the jif, detergent toilet rolls, all those chemicals.
