Something Old, Something New

Bought a bunch of GE cool white (4000k) E27 bulbs for my downlights and tracklights. They were comparatively more expensive ($9 for 20W, $8.5 for 14W) than the normal E27 bulbs. Anybody knows where I can find cheaper cool white bulbs?

philips warehouse sale now. Can go see see.

Some progress in the past week. Kitchen, Service Balcony and Foyer are all tiled up. The main areas will be laid with HERF starting this week. Hope to update this blog in a more regular basis too as reno enters its final few weeks.

I'm also using the peranakan-like tile! Are u using it in kitchen or service yard? Not sure if you notice, but the pattern square doesn't seem to align properly when I have pattern 1 & 2 laid side by side

Hi bleucheeze, is this what you were talking about? Yes, some lines to not align nicely with the next tile. However the ramdomness and color of the tiles will distract you from this minor flaw. We are only doing it for the service balcony, so maybe not so big a concern for us.

Yes, this one! You are right, won't really notice the misalignment.

Lovely 3D pics. Can already imagine that your final outcome will be berry nice. Also like your choice of tiles. Especially the peranakan tiles.

I'm also looking at getting the subway tiles for my kitchen. Can share where you got it & how much? Thanks.

Can't wait to see more Reno & photo updates.

Thanks!

Forgotten whether my ID got the subway tiles from Hup Kiong or Hafary. Price wise was below $3 per sqft. Will check with her.

High-Lights!

Got our centerpiece up today. Love how it looked lighted up.

here are the other lights that went up this week ...

Tom Dix Beat Lights for the kitchen island

Vintage hanging lamps for the balcony

Foyer lights... with TB, there are always hits and misses. Unfortunately one of the sphere lights broke as the electrician attempted to pull out the bulb holder. Seems that the clips were too tight. So I decided to change all three lights and get a similar design from Trading 168. Anyway here are 2 remaining lights while waiting for replacements.

These are the other items that were installed in Reno Week 6

The vinyls are in! Ok, not so fast, it was just for the upper floor. We used the Durban Oak colored Allure HERF flooring. The installers completed the rooms in one morning. If the tilers were around, they would probably envy the easy time the flooring installers were having. Instead of laying those minuscule, hypnotic white and black toilet tiles, they could have been laying those long strips of vinyls...

The white skirting were also installed on the same day.

The window frames for the living room-balcony divider also came. It does look a little bare/incomplete at the moment. Maybe we should have added more lines at the top.

And here are the louvre windows above the kitchen toilet.

These are photos of random stuff that look good close up...

How's the joint to the other type of flooring looks like? I still can't believe mine got a raise kerb. Maybe I should call & ask if they can do it like wood flooring where they use metal piece in between wood flooring & tiles.
