The RELITE fan control has been fixed but it's bulky and ugly and sticking out like a sore thumb. The ID told me that its not advisable to change to the LEGRAND fan switch if I want to be able to control the fan speed cos based on their experience, the fan might be noisy. So unless I can live with the single speed control then they can change to the matching dark silver switch ... Anyone using RELITE fan has similar problem?

Alamak, why doesn't it come in black or at least grey?

must ask RELITE product design department to come up with a matching color fan speed control

maybe i should try spray painting it to matching color?

Shall place the industrial metal bookcase on this side of the wall. PERFECT!

Some posters / paintings shall be placed along this side of the wall to create a gallery-like feel.. any thoughts?

that's the only good news i get all week...meh.....duh... blah... things are painfully slow and i have been chasing my ID to speed things up as the reno is taking too long... my patience is running out honestly! told him to get this act together and i expect a full clean up of the place before the end of this coming week! we shall see!

on a lighter note, i managed to snag some good buys at the LE CRESEUT Sale held a couple of weeks back at Suntec convention centre.

The stock pot at $89

Hey sleepybeauty - are all your walls in the pic painted charcoal grey? Care to share the brand/model number? They look really nice under the downlights!

LOL...i got the same stockpot as you..but in flame. Be careful with it...amazon reviews say that it chips quite easily. The q to pay was crazy when i was there. (was one of the first few there). Almost bought the largest cast iron pot they have on offer...but a quick check on amazon confirmed my suspicion...still cheaper buying from amazon. LOL

i haven't been advised of the Shipping charges from china to spore yet even though the items are all purchased. Is that normal? Will they only advise me the shipping rates when they received the items in the warehouse?
