couch from Whitewood with adjustable headrest. but we chose distress brown fargo leather instead of black:

initially we wanted the Haiku fans but we realised that it did not fit in with our theme.... anyway it was simply too expensive at $1100 - $1200

so we went budget and got the relite petit in black..... fits in perfectly with our black lighting fixtures... its 80% cheaper... great savings which we can use for the kitchen's blum system

while waiting for PE approval, contractor K got his guys to start working on the bathrooms.... decided to do an overlay instead of hacking to cut our costs.

the wife was against spending money on the bathrooms.... but I manged to convinced her that since we will be here for the next 10 - 15 years at least, we might as well do it once and do it good:

chemical bath on the wall to create "gripping" surfaces:
