Hi, I didn't try Taobao. I understand that Taobao downlights will cost $18 to $22, based on the many T-blogs that I have read. In my search for lights, the lowest quotation for no-brand lights came from No. 1 Lighting (a shop in Geylang) which offered $25, with 6 months guarantee.

I am not adventurous enough to buy lights from Taobao.

...and good to know abt the shop in Geylang, thanks!

Hi Harriet may I know that the toilet title you choose do you need to pay extra $ or it one of the title you can choose that include in the Reno cost and can I have your air con contact please advise and thank.

Thank brother looking forward for your post.

The house has been cleaned up.

Living room

The aircon in this photo is for the kitchen. It is mounted on the structural beam. The trunking is below the beam and has been boxed up. There is another aircon unit on the other side of the beam, for the living room.

Our funny bedroom ceilings

In all 3 upstairs bedrooms, we have a square hole which contains a sarong cradle hook. We realised that it is less nice to have the square hole. However, we feel that a sarong cradle is a super important equipment when you have a baby and we decided to have one above the bed.

We didn't have such ceiling hooks when my daughter was born 2 years ago, so we bought a sarong cradle frame from Kiddy Palace. The broad square base occupied alot of space.

Your living room floor is very bling and i didn't see any visible grout lines ! did you apply a special coating ? or is it the tiles itself ?

Hi alfredt,

The living room floor is the existing granite, in its original condition. We didn't do anything to it at all. Here is a closer look at the floor:
